Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla) novel Chapter 1375

Valarie froze, staring in disbelief. "You think I don't see us as equals? If that were true, I wouldn't have come here to apologize. I'd be waiting for you to apologize to me instead!"

She had rushed over right after work to make things right, only to be met with suspicion. The injustice of it stung.

"If you really understood you were wrong, you'd accept that my feelings don't just vanish the moment you say 'sorry.' I'm human, not a machine. Your apology doesn't erase everything," Brandon retorted.

"When I met Michelle before—without you knowing, but with others around—you wanted to break up. Now you've secretly met Stefan and even went to see him after knowing he kidnapped you. What do you take me for? How important is he to you?"

Valarie stepped back at the anger in his voice. "So what now? You won't accept my apology, and you want to break up?"

Brandon took a deep breath, his gaze lowering. "Let's take a few days to cool off. No contact for now."

Valarie nodded. "Fine. Whatever you want. We'll talk when you're ready."

With that, she turned and left.

The door slammed shut, leaving the study in silence.

Brandon sat back at his desk and picked up a document. Unfortunately, he couldn't focus on a single word.

Just then, his phone rang. It was his assistant, Charlie.

"What is it?" he asked.

"Mr. Sumner, Mr. Snowden and Mr. Gilmour are at the office. They want to see you," Charlie reported.

A cold glint flashed in Brandon's eyes. "Tell them I'm unavailable. Have them leave."

"They're refusing to go. They said they'll wait at the Sumner Group until you show up," Charlie replied.
