Not long after Nyla entered the grocery store, she noticed someone following her closely. Turning around, she saw Clark standing not far away, his gaze intense and unreadable.
She didn't want to engage with him, so she quickly finished shopping, paid, and left the store.
Clark followed her the entire way but didn't make any overt moves, leaving her with no grounds to call the police.
Back at home, Nyla decided to stay indoors as much as possible and order groceries online for delivery instead. She felt uneasy about Clark's unpredictable behavior and didn't want to risk any potential confrontation.
Although she considered asking Damon for help, thinking he might drive Clark away, she didn't want to get further entangled with the Sumners.
After staring at her phone's dial screen for a long moment, she eventually put the phone down.
…
Clark continued to linger around Nyla's apartment building for over two weeks. His constant absence from the company began to frustrate the shareholders, who questioned Michael.
"Where has Mr. Sumner been? He hasn't been to the company in half a month. Does he plan to abandon his responsibilities?"
"If he's not interested in managing the company, we should replace him. The company can run just fine without him!"
"Did you all know? My secretary saw him at Golden Gate yesterday while delivering documents. When asked, my secretary found out that he's been driving there every morning and only leaves late at night. No one knows what he's doing there. Surely, he's not just waiting for clients!"
Upon hearing that, the shareholders' frustration peaked. They demanded that Michael get Clark to return and explain himself, or they would call a board meeting to elect a new CEO.
Michael, with his back against the wall, repeatedly tried to contact Clark, but his calls went unanswered.

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....
