Erin's face lit up with joy. Just as she was about to say something, she noticed that Damon had suddenly. stopped walking.

Puzzled, she looked up and saw him staring ahead. She followed his gaze but saw nothing unusual.

"Damon, what's wrong?" she asked.

"Nothing. Weren't you hungry? Let's go," he replied, his tone calm.

They entered the restaurant, where a server led them to a private room.

In the room next door, Oliver handed the menu to Nylal

"Nyla, why don't you pick what you'd like to eat? Tonight's dinner is on me to celebrate your success in developing the new drug." he said.

"You already got gifts for both me and Buddy. I should treat tonight, especially since I just received a bonus," Nyla replied.

Oliver relented. "Alright."

Nyla ordered a few of the restaurant's signature dishes and handed the menu back to Oliver. "Why don't you choose a few more?"

After the orders were placed, Oliver looked at her and said gently, "You've spent the last few years pouring most of your energy into this new drug. Isn't it time for you to take a break now?" Nyla shook her head. "The lab is already gearing up for a new project. We'll probably start getting busy again next month."

"Oh..." Oliver's expression faltered, disappointment flickering in his eyes.

He had been hoping to ask about her plans regarding her personal life, but he hesitated, not wanting to

seem too eager.

Nyla sensed something was off about him tonight but couldn't quite put her finger on it. "What's up with you? Are you trying to recruit me to your company?" Oliver had taken over the family business four years ago. Under his leadership, the Raynor Group had successfully entered the top ten companies in Capitania. "If you're willing to join, I'll be more than honored," Oliver replied.

Nyla raised an eyebrow playfully. "Well, once I graduate, maybe I'll consider it."

"Deal, Oliver said quickly.

As Nyla met his soft, warm-gaze, she felt her heart skip a beat.

Flustered, she stood up quickly. "I'm going to the restroom."

She left the private room and headed down the hallway. After finishing in the restroom, she was washing her hands when she bumped into Erin. Chapter 517

The moment Erin saw Nyla, her eyes widened in shock, filled with terror. "Nyla... You! You're supposed to

be dead!"

She took a step back as if she had seen a ghost.

Nyla had supposedly died after falling into the sea five years ago. How could she possibly be alive?

Nyla didn't care much for Erin, so her expression remained cold. "You've got the wrong person."

"The wrong person?!" Erin glared at her, gritting her teeth. "Even if you turned to ashes, I wouldn't mistake you! You didn't die? Why are you here now?!

"Let me warn you-Damon is my fiance now. If you try to seduce him, you'll be nothing but a homewrecker!

Nyla couldn't be bothered with her and walked past without a word.

Erin

wasn't ready to let it go. She rushed forward and grabbed Nyla's arm. "Nyla, if you don't promise me right now that you'll stay away from Damon, I won't let you leave!" Nyla shook her hand off and smirked icily. "Miss, I have no interest in your fiance. But if you keep harassing me, I'll call the police and report you for it."

With that, she turned and walked away.

Erin stood there, glaring at Nyla's retreating figure. Her nails dug into her palms, the pain forcing her to regain her composure.

She reminded herself that this was five years later, and Damon had completely forgotten about Nyla. There was no reason to panic just because she had seen her. By the time Erin returned to the private room, over ten minutes had passed.

Damon noticed her pale face and narrowed his eyes. "What happened? Are you feeling unwell?
