Trading My Ex for His Uncle by Hello Spring

Nyla paused and turned to look at Emerald. "What is it?"

"I heard Robin went to see you today," Emerald said.

"Yeah. What about it?" Nyla responded.

Emerald pressed her lips together before speaking sternly. "He's Kajer's second- largest shareholder and the head of R&D. Try not to offend him. If he approaches you, avoid conflict."

Nyla found this amusing. "You should be telling him that. I didn't even know who he was until today. He's the one who came looking for trouble."

"I don't care. Just don't provoke him," Emerald repeated.

Seeing Emerald's cold expression, Nyla lowered her gaze and spoke evenly. "That's not happening. I won't go looking for a fight, but I'm not just going to sit there and take it if he comes after me."

Emerald frowned. "I didn't put you in that company to make enemies."

"Oh, so you put me there to be a punching bag?" Nyla retorted.

Emerald fell silent, and an awkward tension settled between them.
