Chapter 89
The weekend flew by, and soon it was Monday.
Nyla returned to the R&D department to continue her experiments.
Lucia also came back to work, but she was much more low–key than before, pretending not to see Nyla and completely lacking her previous arrogance. Whether she had truly learned her lesson or was just biding her time to scheme again was unclear.
The day passed quickly. Nyla received a call from Valarie just before the end of the workday, inviting her out to dinner. Since she had no other plans, she agreed.
When Nyla arrived at the restaurant, she noticed a young man, around 20 years old, sitting next to Valarie. He was full of youthful exuberance, and Nyla couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.
As soon as she sat down, Valarie eagerly introduced him, “Nyla, this is my new boyfriend. What do you think?
The young man blushed and looked down shyly when Nyla’s gaze fell on him, his ears turning red.
“Where did you find such an innocent–looking guy? He’s not still in college, is he?” Nyla asked.
“You guessed it,” Valarie replied.
Nyla was speechless. She had assumed Valarie had just been joking about finding a college boy, but she acted so fast.
Giving Valarie a thumbs–up, Nyla picked up the menu. “Let’s order. I’m starving.”
Once they had ordered, Nyla chatted with Valarie while the young man beside Valarie meticulously fed her snacks.
Nyla began to wonder if he was under some sort of threat from Valarie to agree to be her boyfriend. Before long, the dishes arrived, and just as Nyla was about to dig in, a cold male voice echoed. “Valarie, who is that man beside you?!”
All heads turned simultaneously.
Not far away, Tom stood with a stormy expression, glaring at Valarie.
If not for Jacqueline standing beside him, he would have looked exactly like a man who had just discovered his girlfriend was cheating on him.
Valarie’s eyes remained indifferent, but she smirked. “Mr. Genge, this doesn’t seem to concern you, does
it?
Tom lowered his eyes, suppressing his anger, and turned to walk toward another room.

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....
