Nyla didn’t dwell on it and continued the conversation.

After talking for a while, Damon weighed his options and decided to invest in Nyla’s lab.

By the time the party ended, it was already past 10:00p.m.

Nyla and Edgar stood at the entrance, bidding farewell to Damon and the other investors.

The secretary Damon had brought along was Luca Fleming. He had been with Prospectus Technology for four years and had been trained by Spencer, so his working style mirrored Spencer’s.

On the way back, Luca couldn’t help but comment, “Ms. Kinsey is not only beautiful but also very capable. She must have a lot of admirers.”

Damon, engrossed in his documents, glanced up at him. “Are you interested in pursuing her?

Luca quickly waved his hands. “Oh, no, not at all! Someone like her would never go for someone like me.”

At least he had some self–awareness.

Damon gave no further response and returned his attention to his files.

He didn’t disagree with Luca’s assessment. Given the income Nyla would make from her recent drug development, she could easily achieve financial freedom. Most men wouldn’t be a match for her.

Suddenly, Damon’s phone rang. Seeing it was Erin, he answered.

“Damon, I was out shopping and couldn’t decide between two dresses. I just sent you pictures. Can you help me choose?” Erin asked.

Damon opened the text and looked at the two photos.

One dress was a yellow silk V–neck mermaid gown–elegant and refined.

The other was a red strapless mini–dress–bold and eye–catching.

He set his phone down and returned to his files. “Go with the yellow one. It suits your style better.”

“Okay, yellow it is!” Erin chirped.

After hanging up, Erin looked at the yellow and red dresses laid out on her bed. She folded the yellow one and placed it in her suitcase, already excited about visiting Damon in Capitarnia the next day.

It had taken her two years to finally become Damon’s fiancee after he lost his memory.

However, in the three years since their engagement, Damon had pushed her away every time she tried to deepen their relationship.

Once, she had even stripped down and climbed into his bed, only for him to take his clothes and sleep in the guest room instead.

People envied her for being Damon’s fiancee, but only she knew the truth: the most intimate thing Damon had ever done was put his arm around her waist at social events.

She had complained about this before, but Damon’s response had been clear–If she couldn’t accept it, they could call off the engagement. After that, she didn’t dare bring it up again.

They had been engaged for three years now, and lately, Damon’s attitude toward her had improved slightly. If she kept pushing, maybe they could finally get married this year.

When Nyla returned home, it was almost 11:00 p.m.

She opened the door and was surprised to see only Caroline sitting on the couch.

“Caroline, where’s Buddy?” she asked.

“He just fell asleep a little while ago,” Caroline replied.

Nyla nodded and sat down across from Caroline, exhaustion etched on her face. “Thank you so much for tonight.”

“It’s no trouble. Buddy is easy to look after. But what happened tonight? Why did you suddenly ask me take him home?” Caroline asked.

After a brief silence, Nyla explained what had transpired.

Caroline’s expression turned concerned. “Good thing you had me take Buddy home early. Otherwise, he might’ve run into…. Well, it sounds like Damon doesn’t want to get involved again, since he pretended it was your first meeting.”

“Yes, that’s what I’m hoping for. If he decides to invest in the lab, I’ll leave all communication with him to you,” Nyla said..

“I’ve got it covered. You just focus on your research. I’ll handle everything with the investors,” Caroline offered.

Nyla’s eyes filled with gratitude. “Thank you, Caroline.”

Over the past five years, Caroline had helped her immensely.
