Trading My Ex for His Uncle by Hello Spring

Facing Nyla's cold, unyielding gaze, any explanation seemed inadequate.

Damon lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice, "You don't need to worry about this. I'll handle it."

"Whether you handle it or not is irrelevant to me. I'm planning to resign," Nyla said flatly.

A cold glint flashed in Damon's eyes. "Nyla, I've already told you I won't let you resign."

"You are not important to me and have no right to interfere in my decisions. I'm simply giving you advance notice that you need to find someone to replace me. This isn't up for discussion," Nyla stated firmly.

A heavy silence settled in the room, creating a stifling atmosphere between them.

After an indeterminate amount of time, Damon's hoarse voice broke the silence. "Do you really despise me this much? Would you rather resign than continue working at Prospectus Technology?" Nyla frowned.

While her decision to resign was partly because she didn't want to continue dealing with Damon, it was also because she needed time to study for her exams. She wanted to succeed on her first attempt, and working would distract her from her studies. She simply didn't feel the need to share that reason with Damon.

"If you understand, then why insist on forcing me to stay at Prospectus Technology?" she asked.

Nyla's gaze remained calm and her expression emotionless.

Damon, however, felt a storm of turmoil inside him, his gaze growing dimmer.

After Damon left, Valarie entered the room. Seeing that Nyla seemed stable, she finally relaxed a bit.
