When Nyla saw the name "Oliver" flashing on her screen, she smiled and answered the call. "What's up?"
"Nyla, I have two tickets to an auction. Would you like to go with me? I heard there will be some beautiful jewelry on display, and I thought you might be interested," Oliver invited.
Nyla raised an eyebrow, surprised that he had asked her to an auction.
"When is it?" she inquired.
"Tomorrow night," Oliver replied.
Nyla thought for a moment. She didn't have any plans for the evening, so she agreed, "Sure, you can pick me up tomorrow."
After ending the call with Oliver, she set her phone down and noticed Leon looking at her with a mischievous grin.
"Nyla, you look so happy. Was that your boyfriend on the other end?" he asked.
Nyla smiled and openly admitted, "Yep. Jealous?"
Leon, who had been single forever, always made it his birthday wish to find a partner.
Unfortunately, since he practically lived in the lab, he had little chance to meet women. The female lab mates weren't his type either, so he remained single.
"Of course I am jealous! If you know anyone suitable, don't forget to introduce them to me," Leon said.
They joked around for a bit, quickly brushing aside the topic, with neither of them bringing it up again.
…
After dinner, Nyla dropped Leon off and then headed home.
To her surprise, Oliver was at her place.
When Oliver saw Nyla, he stood up from a pile of toys with a smile. "Nyla, you're back! I happened to pass by your complex on my way home, so I thought I'd drop by. I heard from Buddy that you've started working again."
Putting her bag down and changing her shoes, Nyla replied, "Yeah, the lab has a project with Prospectus Technology, and I'm in charge."

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....
