Chasing the Unexpected (Nyla)

Chapter 32

Seeing the disappointment in Nyla’s eyes, Clark felt as if a hand was squeezing his heart, making it hard to breathe.

“Nyla, I know that no matter what promises I make now, you won’t believe me. But I will prove it with my actions. I will keep my word.”

Nyla had no intention of listening to his promises. She brushed past him and walked away.

Just as Clark was about to follow her, his phone in his pocket rang. He answered, and his secretary’s serious voice came through. “Mr. Sumner, there’s a problem with one of our deals.”

Clark’s expression darkened. “I’ll be there right away.”

By the time he ran to the exit of the complex, all he saw was Nyla getting into a taxi and leaving. He pursed his lips, turned around, got into his car, and drove to the company. Once he dealt with work, he would come back to sort things out with Nyla.

When Nyla arrived at the restaurant, Valarie was already there.

“Nyla, you’re finally here! I’ve got some gossip to share with you.”

Nyla sat down across from Valarie, placed her bag on the chair next to her, and raised an eyebrow. “What gossip?”
