It wasn't that Leon didn't want to work with Nyla—he was just annoyed by Brody's attitude. Why should he give in to Brody? Who did Brody think he was?
As the workday was ending, Nyla asked Leon to wait for her after they finished, saying she had something to discuss.
Throughout the day, Ruby had become friendly with Tina, and they left together like old friends.
Leon waited in the lab for a while before Nyla approached him with her car keys, asking him to come along.
Once they were in the car, she turned to him and asked, "What do you want for dinner? Pick a place. It's on me."
Leon frowned. "Nyla, if you're trying to apologize for today, there's no need. I was planning to join the experiment team anyway. I just didn't like Brody's attitude, but I understand why you did what you did."
If she hadn't stopped him earlier, he and Brody might have ended up fighting.
"It's not an apology—just a way to make up for the frustration you felt today," Nyla explained.
"Alright, then I won't hold back," Leon replied.
He chose a restaurant near Prospectus Technology, and Nyla navigated there directly.
…
Once they were seated, Leon began venting about Brody. He had encountered difficult people in the lab before, but none as unreasonable as Brody.
"I don't know how someone like him survives in the workplace! He must be hated by a lot of people!" Leon grumbled.
Nyla poured him a glass of water. "You must be thirsty after talking so much. Have some water."
Realizing he was indeed a bit thirsty, Leon gulped down the tea. He continued to complain, "Nyla, I just can't get over this."

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....
