Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla) novel Chapter 905

Sullivan lowered his gaze and remained silent, his expression growing colder.

"Oh, I see," Demi replied, her voice soft. "Sorry, I misunderstood."

Her gaze lingered on Sullivan's icy face, and she bit her lip, her eyes flickering with an unidentifiable emotion.

It was clear that Sullivan's feelings for Ruby went beyond those of a mere colleague or acquaintance.

For the rest of the meal, silence fell between them. They ate quietly, starkly out of place amidst the lively chatter of others around the table.

Once Ruby finished her meal, she set down her utensils. Noticing that Sullivan had yet to finish, she refrained from rushing him, instead pulling out her phone to watch some videos.

Sullivan's gaze kept drifting toward her. When he saw that she wasn't even sparing him a glance, he pressed his lips together, his expression darkening.

What he failed to notice, however, was that someone else was watching him closely as well.

Half an hour later, they finished their meal.

Demi took the elevator back up with them, chatting with Sullivan and deliberately ignoring Ruby.

Ruby didn't mind. She kept her head down, engrossed in her phone.

As they exited the elevator, Ruby looked up at Sullivan. "If you don't have anything else, I'm heading back to the office."

Sullivan, unable to speak freely with Demi around, struggled to find the right words.

"Alright," was all he could manage.

Ruby nodded. "If necessary, I can send you home after work."

"Okay," Sullivan said.
