There was a sparkle in Brandon's eyes, his gaze softening as he looked at her. "Valarie, thank you."
His intense and heartfelt gaze made Valarie feel a little self-conscious. She looked away and said, "It's getting late. You should head home."
"Alright. You get some rest. Goodnight," he replied.
"Goodnight," she answered.
After watching Brandon's car disappear down the road, Valarie turned and went inside.
…
On his way back, Brandon received a call from his secretary, Charlie Jean.
"Mr. Sumner, I've been thinking about something, and I decided it's best to let you know," Charlie said.
"What is it?" Brandon asked.
"Last night, I was out for dinner and saw our marketing manager having a private meal with Mr. Genge. They seemed quite familiar with each other," Charlie reported.
Charlie explained that he had been attending a university reunion at a private restaurant when he unexpectedly spotted Huxley Lightner.
Huxley hadn't noticed him, but Charlie had debated whether to report the encounter.
Ultimately, he decided to inform Brandon, just in case Huxley was secretly meeting with Tom. That would be troublesome.
Brandon gripped the steering wheel tightly, his voice turning icy. "Understood. Don't mention this to anyone else."
Hearing the seriousness in Brandon's tone, Charlie knew he had done the right thing. "Understood, Mr. Sumner. I won't tell anyone."
Charlie had been Brandon's secretary for years, and Brandon trusted his discretion.
"Good. That's all," Brandon said.
After hanging up, Brandon's expression turned grim.

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....
