Bill quickly suppressed his dissatisfaction, maintaining a friendly smile, as he was quite the strategist.
“Of course, Mr. Sumner. Our company is very sincere about forming a long–term partnership with Prospectus Technology. I hope you will consider it seriously,” Bill said.
Damon nodded. “Yes, Mr. Jenkinson. Let me toast to you.”
The two continued chatting, and before long, they had finished a bottle of wine.
Damon’s usually pale face was now tinged with a faint red, and his typically cool eyes showed a hint of Intoxication. Under the overhead light, his striking features were even more captivating, making it hard to look away.
Catching herself staring. Nyla quickly averted her gaze.
“Ms. Jayston, a toast to you.” Zoe said.
Nyla turned to see Zoe holding out a glass of red wine, smiling warmly.
I’m sorry, Ms. Quinn, I don’t drink,” Nyla replied.
“This is a low–alcohol red wine, very mild and with a rich, smooth taste. You should give it a try,” Zoe insisted.
As Zoe spoke, she pushed the wine glass closer.
Nyla reached out to refuse. As soon as her hand touched Zoe’s, the latter’s hand suddenly tilted, spilling at portion of the wine onto Nyla’s collar.
“Oh no… I’m so sorry, Ms. Jayston. I must have had too much to drink and lost my grip…” Zoe quickly put down the glass and grabbed a napkin to dab at the wine on Nyla’s collar.
The commotion immediately drew everyone’s attention in the room.
Damon’s gaze darkened, and he subtly furrowed his brow.
Next to him, Bill was disgruntled and questioned coldly, Zoe, what’s the matter with you? How could you spill the wine like that?”
Zoe seemed frightened, her hands trembling as she dabbed at Nyla’s collar, her face full of remorse.
“I’m so sorry, Mr. Jenkinson. It wasn’t on purpose…” she said.
Seeing Zoe’s pale face and remorseful gaze, Nyla pursed her lips and said, “Mr. Jenkinson, it’s fine. I’ll just go to the restroom to clean up.”

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....
