The call ended with the sound of a dial tone.
Tom slammed his phone onto the floor with a scowl. The screen shattered instantly, reflecting his grim expression.
…
Sullivan, unable to reach Rebecca, began to feel a growing sense of anxiety.
What if Rebecca had taken the money and then gone back on her word, sending those incriminating documents to Damon?
Upon thinking of her past behavior, Sullivan's anxiety deepened, but he had no idea where she was. All he could do was wait for her to contact him.
"Sullivan. Sullivan? What's wrong with you?" Demi asked.
Sullivan snapped out of his thoughts and looked over at Demi, forcing a smile. "What's going on?"
Demi handed him a file and reported, "There's an issue with this data. We need to verify it with Nyla. If these numbers are wrong, the experiment will need to be redone."
Sullivan glanced at the file and took it from her. "Got it. I'll go to her. You take care of the other tasks."
Actually, Demi had planned to ask Nyla herself, but she was surprised that Sullivan had taken the initiative. She assumed he probably wanted to see Ruby.
Her gaze dropped, and a mix of emotions swirled inside her. She didn't feel inferior to Ruby in any way, so why did Sullivan seem to like her?
"Alright, Sullivan. Please hurry. These data are urgently needed," Demi reminded him.
Sullivan nodded. "I'm on it."
With that, he left the office with the file.

The readers' comments on the novel: Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla)
More chapters please why stop updating...
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....
