Chapter 270

Nyla lowered her gaze and nodded. "Okay."

…

As they neared the company, Nyla asked Damon to drop her off at the corner.

He frowned, clearly displeased. "Am I so embarrassing to you?"

"It's not that," Nyla replied. "I just got divorced from Clark. If people from the company see us together now, it will negatively affect you."

"I don't mind," Damon said flatly.

"But I do. I need some time to adjust to our relationship, so let's keep it private for now, okay?" she asked, her voice tinged with hope and a hint of hesitation.

Damon covered her eyes with his hand, his voice low and husky. "Alright, but I'll need to collect some interest."

Nyla was startled, her eyes widening. "What kind of interest?"

Her lashes brushed against Damon's hand, tickling him slightly. He held her waist and leaned in to kiss her.

"Mmph…" Nyla stiffened, instinctively trying to pull away. As she moved back, she found herself pressed against the car door, unable to escape. She could only surrender to Damon.
