Chasing the Unexpected

Nyla wasn’t ready to forgive Damon, Could he really force her to fall in love with him again?

Damon opened the car door and said calmly, “Get in the car.”

After having the driver take Rebecca home, Damon returned to his office to continue working. Work was the only thing that temporarily distracted him from thoughts of Nyla.

Today, however, for some reason, he couldn’t concentrate on the documents in his hands. Frustrated, he tossed the files onto his desk, grabbed his car keys, and left the office.

Once Melody and Gabriel had finished ordering at the restaurant, she looked up at him across the table and commented, “Gabriel, I’ve never been to such a high–end restaurant before. The food here is so expensive.”

Gabriel smiled, his voice gentle. “Then you should get used to it.”

He was already handsome, but with his bright smile under the lights, he looked almost glowing–so good–looking that it was hard to look

away,

Melody’s face flushed instantly, and she quickly looked away.

“W–Why should I get used to it? My salary…” she stuttered.

“Because I might take you out to eat here often in the future,” Gabriel replied.

Melody’s heart began to race uncontrollably. She turned back to Gabriel, summoning her courage, and asked, “Gabriel… you were

allway’s so distant before. Why are you suddenly so er dead

“Surely you can figure that out for yourself, Gabriel countered.

Melody lowered her gaze, remaining silent. Although she liked Gabriel, she wasn’t infatuated to the point of losing her reason. There had to be a reason behind his sudden change in attitude.

“Gabriel, is there something you need my help with?” she asked.

Gebriel’s smile deepened slightly, and he nodded. “Actually, there is something I’d like to ask of you”

“It’s about Nyle, right?” Melody asked, pressing further.

“Yeah, Gabriel answered straightforwardly.

A flicker of disappointment crossed Melody’s face. Although she knew Gabriel and Nyla were siblings, they weren’t biologically related, She had always felt that Gabriel’s concern for Nyla was a bit GLOSSENG

“I might not be able to help with Nyla. She refused to go to that auction, no matter what I said,” Melody explained.

Gabriel’s expression grew serious.

After a moment, he said, “I’d like you to keep an eye on her and look out for her. She’s had a falling out with her family recently and doesn’t have many friends. You’re one of her closest female friends.”

Melody nodded, “Don’t worry, I will.

“By the way, you and she are always busy with experiments and barely have any free time. Are you all very busy?” Gabriel asked.

“Yeah, we’re racing to meet deadlines,” Melody replied.

Chapar SAS

“If you need any help, feel free to let me know. I’m not that busy at the moment,” Gabriel offered.

Melody hesitated momentarily and asked slowly, “Gabriel, I notice that Nyla’s attitude toward you seems quite cold. Why are you still so concerned about her?”

“Because she’s my sister. What kind of brother would hold a grudge against his sister?” Gabriel answered matter–of–factly.

Seeing his sincere expression, Melody finally relaxed. “Alright. I’ll try to persuade Nyla to reconcile with you as soon as possible.”

“Thank you in advance,” Gabriel said, then asked her for some details about their experiments.

Melody, without suspicion, answered all his questions.

By the end of the meal, Gabriel had learned quite a bit about their experiments.

After dropping Melody off at home, his smile gradually faded, turning cold. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
