Hearing the annoyance in Nyla's voice, Damon chuckled and let her go. If he kept teasing her, she might actually get mad.

Nyla took a few steps back, smoothing her hair that had become tousled during their playful scuffle. She shot Damon an irritated look. "Alright, don't be mad. I might have to work late tonight, so I'll have the driver take you home first," Damon said.

Nyla frowned. "Your wounds need to be dressed. How late are you planning to work?"

"Not sure yet. As for the dressing, I'll have Spencer take care of it," he replied.

Nyla grew more frustrated due to Damon's casual demeanor, her face turning cold as she remained silent.
