Realizing further questioning was futile, Paul left.
After his departure, Ruby resumed packing her belongings. Just as she finished folding her clothes, the doorbell rang.
She opened the door to find Leon standing there. Surprise flickered in her eyes before her expression turned indifferent.
"If you've come to convince me to stay, don't bother. I'm not going back," she said.
"I'm not here to convince you," Leon replied. "I just want to know why you're resigning. Back in Capitarnia, you promised to work hard and help Nyla complete this project."
Ruby frowned. "There's no particular reason. I just think pursuing further studies is more important than this project."
"Further studies?" Leon looked at her in disbelief. "You told me before you had no money and needed to work to support yourself."
Ruby leaned against the doorframe, her hand tightening slightly. Her tone grew frosty as she retorted, "That's my business. It has nothing to do with you."
Her dismissive attitude angered Leon. Before coming, he had thought Ruby might be facing some hardship and that he could offer help.
Seeing her now, already planning to study abroad, he realized he had been naïve.
"Ruby, I came here as a concerned coworker. Since you clearly don't need my concern, I'll say no more. Good luck with your future," he said.
Without waiting for her reply, Leon turned and left.

Meanwhile, Nyla was having dinner when she received a call from Leon.

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....
