"Oh, okay," Melody replied.
Nyla looked away, her expression calm. "Let's go."
Even after they left the venue, Melody remained visibly excited. "Nyla, thank you so much for today! After listening to the conference, I'm even more determined to pursue a career in drug research."
Seeing Melody's flushed cheeks and bright, sparkling eyes, Nyla couldn't help but smile. "What made you suddenly think of this?"
Previously, when their experiments kept failing, Melody had been noticeably down for a few days, feeling frustrated. Nyla had feared she might give up, but Melody persisted and now seemed even more committed to this path.
"I heard Caroline say that their experiments failed over a thousand times, but they still kept going. I think that's amazing. I want to be like them—standing up there someday, sharing my experiences," Melody gushed.
She looked a little embarrassed at this point. "I've never really stuck with anything before. Now I want to commit to drug research."
Nyla nodded. "As long as you've thought it through."
"Nyla, let me treat you to lunch later as a thank-you for bringing me to the conference," Melody offered.
"No need. I have another appointment," Nyla declined.
"Okay, then," Melody conceded.
After Melody left, Nyla went straight to the parking lot to wait for Caroline in her car.
…
It took more than half an hour for Caroline and Damon's group to finish their conversation at the venue.
As Caroline walked to the parking lot, texting Nyla, she unexpectedly ran into Damon's group again at the elevator.
Rebecca spoke gently with a smile. "Ms. Lovell, we're heading out for lunch. If you're free, would you like to join us?"
After reading Nyla's message, Caroline put away her phone and looked at Rebecca. "Thanks for the invitation, Ms. Austen, but I already have plans for lunch."

The readers' comments on the novel: Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla)
When will the new chapters come...
Author! Why does it always so mean? Like a new character will appear and at the end of the chapter, they're all antagonist who always intend to hurt Nyla. Is there any character who will protect her with no expectation in return of any thing?...
AUTHOR!!! NOTICE THIS PLEASE!!!! I hope that Nyla's heart can be softened with Damon alone like clear things up and make some intimate time with each other. And of course Damon talking to Rebecca will make Nyla go back to her status again. Just a short calmness and joy for Nyla and Damon....
