Upon noticing the strong, firm hand around her waist and feeling its warmth seeping through the thin fabric, Nyla’s face turned bright red. She quickly steadied herself, avoiding eye contact.
“Thank you, Mr. Sumner,” she said.
Damon withdrew his hand nonchalantly and said in a deep voice, “Watch where you’re stepping even when looking at herbs”
Nyla nodded. “Got it.”
From then on, Nyla was careful to watch her step, determined not to trip again. “These are the dried.
rauvolfia.”
A staff member casually handed a dried rauvolfia root to Damon, who inspected it briefly before passing
it to Nyla.
“Take a look,” he said.
The rauvolfia looked no different from the ones Skyray Medical had shown them that morning. They would need to test it to determine the active ingredient content.
Nyla turned to the staff member and asked, “Typically, what’s the alkaloid content in rauvolfia?”
“It’s usually around 0.1%. Anything higher is quite rare,” the staff member replied.
Actually, 0.1% was a decent percentage. If Skyray Medical truly sourced all their herbs from there, then the high percentage they showed that morning was likely staged to hike up prices.
Nyla handed the herb back to the staff member with a smile. “Thanks. I’ve got a good idea now.”
While they were inspecting the herb base, the people at Skyray Medical were busy as well.
Bill called Zoe into his office.
“What do you think? Is Mr. Sumner interested in partnering with us?” he asked.
This morning, he had hinted several times at signing a contract, but Damon deftly sidestepped the topic each time.
However, Damon hadn’t completely shut it down, only saying he needed more time to consider.
She had turned down 30,000 dollars. Was she truly above material desires, or did she want more?

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....
