Trading My Ex for His Uncle by Hello Spring

Chapter 1357

Nyla looked at Valarie. "What do you mean, giving each other looks? Just eat. I made your favorite-spicy chicken."

Valarie nodded. "Okay."

As they ate, Damon glanced at Brandon. "When are you going back to the company?"

Brandon paused mid-bite, instinctively glancing at Valarie across the table. She didn't even look his way.

After a brief silence, he lowered his gaze. "In a few days."

"Alright." Damon didn't press the issue.

Brandon was the CEO of the Sumner Group. Damon couldn't keep treating him like a subordinate.

Halfway through the meal, Brandon's phone rang.

Seeing Jayden's name on the screen, he frowned and ignored it. But the phone rang again. And again.

After declining multiple calls, he realized the others at the table were all looking at him.

He picked up the phone. "It might be urgent."
