Chasing the Unexpected

Nyla frowned and looked at Clark with displeasure. “Who I ate with is none of your business, is it?”

A dark gleam passed through Clark’s eyes as he lowered his voice. “Nyla, I’m not trying to monitor you. I just want to be part of your life.”NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

“Are you really trying to be part of my life, or are you feeling guilty about taking Jordyn to that dinner today?”

Clark widened his eyes, his heart sinking. Nyla had seen them.

“Today was about meeting a client. She handled this client before she left the company, so she knows the situation better. That’s why I brought her along. I didn’t tell you because I didn’t want you to misunderstand.”

Nyla smiled. “Do I really need to misunderstand your relationship with her?”

“Nyla, I can assure you that there’s nothing between us now. The only person I love is you.”

Nyla wanted to ask him why Jordyn had to dress so seductively and hold his arm like a date since it was just a business meeting. Anyone who saw them would think Jordyn was Clark’s girlfriend, not his secretary.

Despite that, she didn’t ask. It no longer mattered

“Clark, one lie often requires many more to cover it up.

“Nyla, you don’t believe me?”

Clark stared at Nyla intently, his gaze filled with hurt and sadness.

Nyla found it laughable. She wanted to believe him, but shouldn’t he give her a reason to?

“I had a long day at work. I don’t want to talk about this. Please leave.”

Upon seeing Nyla’s cold expression, Clark’s hands clenched at his sides. His initial guilt and unease slowly turned into frustration. He had humbled himself, yet she still treated him with disdain. He could have chosen someone better but married her anyway. Her constant lack of understanding was wearing him down,

Sometimes, being with her was less comfortable than being with Jordyn. At least Jordyn wouldn’t give him a hard time.

With that, he said nothing more. When Nyla walked past him without a word, he didn’t stop her or try to -explain further.

At home, Nyla grabbed some clothes and headed for the shower. When she came out, she saw that she had over ten missed calls from Valarie. Since Valarie had called her so many times in such a short period, it must be urgent.

She quickly called back, and Valarie picked up after just two rings. “Nyla, check the Internet! You’re trending!

Nyla was surprised. She went online and saw that she was the top trending topic.

[Park Pharmaceuticals‘ Employee Forces Colleague’s Father To Kneel]

After clicking on the trending post, she saw a video of Mabel’s father kneeling before her. The camera angle was perfect, capturing Kenneth’s helpless expression.

Meanwhile, the comments were filled with insults directed at her.

[How can someone be so disgusting? I heard her colleague’s father is just an honest farm worker, and she made him kneel! Bullying the honest folks!]

[This woman is too much. Park Pharmaceuticals should consider firing her!]

[I hope one day her parents have to kneel to someone too. Maybe then she’ll understand how it feels.]

As Nyla read the hateful comments, her eyes turned cold.

After not hearing Nyla speak for a while, Valarie anxiously asked, “Nyla, what’s going on?

Valarie had known Nyla for years and knew she wasn’t the type to make someone kneel in public. There had to be a misunderstanding, but she couldn’t defend Nyla online without knowing the full story
