Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla) novel Chapter 459

Troy frowned, wanting to persuade Nathaniel further, but fell silent when faced with Nathaniel's angry gaze. After all, Nathaniel was his boss.

"Alright. I'll contact Steven right away," he said.

After Troy left, Nathaniel gripped the documents in his hand, his eyes flashing with a frenzied intensity. As long as Nyla was out of the way, everything would fall into place.

Damon wanted to get close to her as a friend, which they both understood, but she wasn't interested in an ambiguous relationship that could lead to further complications.

Damon sighed. "Nyla, you really won't give me any chance, huh..."
