Trading My Ex for His Uncle by Hello Spring

It wasn't that Leon didn't want to work with Nyla-he was just annoyed by Brody's attitude. Why should he give in to Brody? Who did Brody think he was?

As the workday was ending, Nyla asked Leon to wait for her after they finished, saying she had something to discuss.

Throughout the day, Ruby had become friendly with Tina, and they left together like old friends.

Leon waited in the lab for a while before Nyla approached him with her car keys, asking him to come along.

Once they were in the car, she turned to him and asked, "What do you want for dinner? Pick a place. It's on me."

Leon frowned. "Nyla, if you're trying to apologize for today, there's no need. I was planning to join the experiment team anyway. I just didn't like Brody's attitude, but I understand why you did what you did."

If she hadn't stopped him earlier, he and Brody might have ended up fighting.

"It's not an apology-just a way to make up for the frustration you felt today," Nyla explained.

"Alright, then I won't hold back," Leon replied.
