Chasing the Unexpected (Nyla)

Chapter 184

“No, why?” Nyla asked.

Her mind was still preoccupied with when she would visit Lucia, so she had paid little attention to Clark.

“Nyla, the reason I haven’t visited you these past few days is that I’ve been swamped with work. Uncle Damon deliberately terminated his partnership with the Sumner Group to target me, and I only managed to resolve this issue this evening, Clark explained.

Nyla nodded. “I see.”
