After leaving Prospectus Technology, Brandon headed straight to the office.
Since he could no longer rely on Damon, he decided to focus on improving himself from that point on.
The day passed quickly, with Brandon spending most of his time in meetings or reviewing documents.
It wasn't until Charlie reminded him about a client meeting in the evening that he realized it was almost 6:00 p.m.
He set the file down and cleared his throat. "Got it. Please send me the time and address on my phone."
"Okay, Mr. Sumner," Charlie replied.
Once Charlie left, Brandon skimmed through more files.
When the time came, he got up to meet the client.
…
By the end of the meeting, it was already past 8:00 p.m.
He had just seen the client off and was about to head back when he noticed Valarie and a man laughing and chatting as they walked out of a nearby restaurant.
His expression shifted slightly as he turned to look at them. They both seemed to notice him, glancing in his direction.
When Valarie saw it was Brandon, her smile faded, but she quickly turned back to continue her conversation with the man, seemingly ignoring him.
Brandon walked up to them and overheard Valarie telling the man that they should get together for a meal some other time. His expression immediately hardened.
Who was this man, and why hadn't he seen him before?
"Valarie, who is this? You're not going to introduce me?" Brandon asked.
Valarie briefly glanced at him before replying indifferently, "Seth Farlow, my senior from university. He's in Saintornia on a business trip, and since we were nearby, we decided to have dinner together."
She smiled at Seth and added, "Seth, this is my friend, Brandon Sumner."
Hearing Valarie introduce him only as a friend made Brandon's face darken slightly. He stepped forward, pulled Valarie into an embrace, and extended his hand toward Seth.

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....
