Trading My Ex for His Uncle by Hello Spring

"A friend of yours?"

A flash of disgust crossed Lucia's eyes. "No, someone I dislike."

"Anyone you dislike must not be a good person," the colleague said, trying to flatter her.

Lucia appreciated it. "Let's not talk about it. It's a mood killer."

When Nyla arrived at the restaurant, Valarie was just getting there too.

Linking arms, they walked in together.

"How did the interview go?"

"It went alright, but I'm not sure if I'll get the job."

"If you don't, just try another company. There are plenty of pharmaceutical companies in the city. Any company would be lucky to have you."

"Thanks for the confidence, but I haven't worked in a lab for years."

Drug research required a lot of experience, and aside from the three years Nyla had spent in the lab during her graduate studies, she didn't have much professional experience.

"Don't

worry. Once you start working, you'll catch up quickly," Valarie said.

She knew that Nyla had always been dedicated, often working tirelessly for results and data. "Enough about that. Last night on the phone, I heard a man's voice. What's going on?" Valarie blushed, avoiding Nyla's gaze. "Did you? Are you sure?"

Nyla stared at her. "Valarie, I'm not hard of hearing. I clearly heard a man at your place last night.

Valarie's cheeks reddened further. She knew she couldn't avoid it. "Alright, alright. It was my boss... We're dating."

Nyla didn't respond, her eyes fixed on a spot in the restaurant, growing red.

Valarie's heart sank. Following Nyla's gaze, Valarie saw Clark sitting with a woman who was crying and occasionally giving him a longing look.
