Nyla checked the time-it was only 7:00 a.m., and the conference didn't start until 9:00 a.m.

"Isn't it a little early for you to be here?" she asked groggily, still not fully awake.

Melody's voice was filled with excitement. "I couldn't sleep, so I got up early. I brought breakfast for you, but don't worry. I'll just walk around outside until you're ready."

Nyla sighed, feeling a bit helpless. She told Melody which floor she lived on so she could come up and wait inside.

By the time Nyla finished getting ready, it was just past 8:00 a.m. The two of them arrived at the conference venue before 8:30 a.m.

As they approached the entrance, a black Maybach and a Rolls-Royce pulled up beside them.

The doors of the Maybach opened, and Rebecca and Damon stepped out. From the Rolls-Royce behind them emerged Nathaniel.

As soon as they exited their cars, conference staff members enthusiastically greeted them. "Mr. Sumner, Mr. Preston, Ms. Austen, welcome to the conference. Please allow me to show you to the VIP entrance."

Rebecca wore a white dress today, her long hair flowing down to her waist. With light makeup, she looked delicate and sweet. As she stayed close to Damon's side, she exuded an air of vulnerability that invited protectiveness from those around her. Damon's indifferent gaze briefly lingered on Nyla before he looked away as if he hadn't seen her at all.

Nyla lowered her eyes, forcing herself to ignore the disappointment that swelled in her heart. Damon treating her like a stranger was far better than dragging out their unresolved feelings.
