Ruby bit her lip, staying silent as she handed her phone to Nyla.

On the screen was a photo of Damon's back, with a payment counter in the background, clearly taken in a hospital.

Nyla's eyes widened, and her face turned pale.

Yesterday evening, he had told her he would be out to socialize, yet here he was in the hospital. The last time he had used the same excuse, he had ended up visiting Charlotte. What was he hiding from her?

Seeing Nyla's ashen complexion, Ruby regretted bringing it up. She consoled her, "Nyla, maybe Mr. Sumner had a reason for being in the hospital. Don't worry too much just yet." Nyla bit her lip and nodded. "Yeah, I believe he wouldn't do anything to betray me, Thank you for telling me this, Ruby."

She returned to her desk, turned on her computer, and stared blankly at the screen, her thoughts in disarray.

Why did Damon feel the need to lie to her?

Noticing Nyla lost in thought, Ruby opened her mouth to offer some comfort but ultimately held back. Without knowing the full story, any reassurance might not help.

At noon, Nyla went to Damon's office to have lunch with him.

Noticing her distracted demeanor, he frowned as she absentmindedly poked at her food without really eating.

He set down his utensils and asked, "Nyla, is something on your mind?"

Nyla paused, looking up at Damon.

His concern was evident in his eyes, and she could feel his affection. She just couldn't understand why he had lied to her twice.

Was visiting Charlotte and going to the hospital something shameful?

Damon's gaze intensified as he noticed her silence-she simply stared at him.

"Nyla, if you keep looking at me like that, I might not be able to control myself," he said.

Putting down her cutlery, she decided to ask directly, "Last night, you-"

The office door suddenly swung open, and Spencer rushed in with a document, looking
