Since Nyla planned to be serious about being with Oliver, she needed to genuinely try to see if she could accept him. If she truly couldn’t, it would be better to part ways sooner rather than later–for both their NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

sakes.

The next afternoon, Damon received a call from Lydia, “Mr. Sumner, Ms. Kinsey sent Buddy over today.”

Damon replied calmly, “Got it.”

There was a brief silence on the other–end before Lydia’s voice came through, tinged with helplessness.” Mr. Sumner, aren’t you going to ask what Ms. Kinsey has to do today?”

“What is it?” Damon asked.

“I heard from Buddy that she’s going to the movies with Mr. Raynor tonight, which is why she dropped Buddy off,” Lydia answered.

Damon narrowed his eyes and replied in a low voice, “Alright.”

After hanging up, he thought for a moment and called in Spencer.

“Look into where Nyla and Oliver are going to see a movie and buy a ticket for a seat behind them,” he instructed.

Spencer paused momentarily before replying, “Understood, Mr. Sumner. I’ll go right away.”

After work, Nyla and Oliver had dinner before heading to the cinema.

They were watching a romantic film that had been re–released, telling the story of two people who parted ways in their youth and reunited years later.

The story itself was quite simple, but the director’s cinematic touch made the visuals beautiful.

Before the film started, Oliver bought a bucket of popcorn.

They sat together, occasionally reaching into the bucket for popcorn. Without realizing it, their fingers brushed against each other.

At first, they flinched as if they’d been burned, quickly pulling away.

After a few times, Oliver boldly took Nyla’s hand.

Nyla stiffened for a moment. She fought the urge to pull her hand back and let him hold it.

The theater was nearly empty and quiet, except for the sound of someone coughing behind them.

As the film reached its climax, with the lead characters locked in a passionate kiss, Oliver leaned closer to Nyla.

“Nyla…” he murmured, his voice deep and husky, laced with an irresistible charm.

When Nyla turned her head, she found his handsome face looming closer. She bit her lip, feeling no

fluttering in her heart, nervousness, or excitement. Instead, she felt a strange urge to escape.

Oliver didn’t notice her tense demeanor as he slowly leaned in closer.

Just as his lips were mere centimeters away from hers, a harsh voice suddenly echoed from behind.” Kissing openly in a movie theater? Don’t you have any decency?”

Nyla jumped in surprise, quickly pulling away from Oliver. At the same time, she felt a wave of relief wash over her.

Once she calmed down, she recognized that familiar voice…

As she turned her head, she saw that Oliver had also turned around.

Upon confirming that it was Damon behind them, Oliver’s expression turned icy.

“Mr. Sumner, can you explain why you’re here?” he asked.

“I’m here to watch a movie. Could you please keep it down? You’re disturbing me,” Damon replied, feigning innocence as he focused on the big screen.

Damon looked like any other moviegoer. Oliver might have believed him if he hadn’t been sitting right behind them and interrupted just as Oliver was about to kiss Nyla.

Oliver scoffed, turning back to the screen and not saying another word.

Nyla frowned at Damon but remained silent and turned back as well.

For the rest of the movie, though Nyla’s eyes were glued to the screen, her mind was racing.
