Chasing the Unexpected

Chapter 750

Damon wore a well–tailored dark suit, his tall figure exuding an air of authority,

Beside him stood a woman in an elegant cream–colored dress, her long hair cascading down her shoulders with soft curls at the ends. She appeared gentle and alluring, wearing a small smile, her eyes bright and lively.

Damon had his head turned slightly to converse with the woman beside him, his gaze focused. She looked up at him, her expression warm.

There seemed to be a special understanding between them, making them appear very close.

Nyla stared blankly out the window at the couple, her heart feeling as if it were being tightly gripped. She struggled to calm herself, but her eyes couldn’t seem to look away.

Ruby watched Nyla with concern and quietly asked, “Are you okay, Nyla?”

Nyla snapped back to reality and forced a smile. “I’m fine.”

What she didn’t realize was just how strained that smile was.

She turned her gaze away, no longer looking at the couple outside, and began deleting the unfinished text message on her phone. She also deleted her chat with Damon.

While she could erase the chat, the image from earlier kept resurfacing in her mind.

Nyla bit her lip, filled with confusion and unease. Who was that woman? Why was she so close to Damon?

In the past, she had seen Damon interact with other women. He had always been indifferent, never giving anyone a chance to misinterpret his intentions.

But this woman was different.

Countless questions swirled in her mind, yet none had answers.

Nyla tried to push her chaotic thoughts aside, forcing herself not to dwell on them.

Despite her efforts, Sullivan seemed to see through her inner turmoil.

He raised an eyebrow and said, “Nyla, you’re dating Mr. Sumner, Why don’t you just call him and ask what’s going on?”

Nyla’s hands clenched tightly as she forced another smile. “I trust him.”

Sullivan sighed, assuming the demeanor of someone with experience. “You really don’t understand men If you don’t confront him about it now, he’ll never admit anything later.

“He might even turn it around on you, saying you’re being paranoid. If you don’t ask him now, it’ll put you at a disadvantage later on.”

“Is that from your personal experience, Sullivan?” Nyla’s tone dripped with sarcasm, and there was no hint of

Sullivan’s expression stiffened, and he instinctively glanced at Ruby.

from a man’s perspective. Why are you dragging me into this?”

“But you’re a man too, aren’t you? If you can give me this advice, does that mean you’d use this tactic against her when she sees you getting cozy with another woman?” Nyla pressed.

Sullivan frowned, struggling to suppress his anger, though his expression was clearly upset. “Nyla, I know you’re upset about seeing Mr. Sumner with another woman, but it’s not right to take it out on me.”

Nyla smiled. “I’m not angry. I was just considering the possibility. So why are you the one getting upset? Did I hit a nerve?”

Sullivan’s fists clenched, fury simmering in his eyes.

The air grew tense, and Ruby sat uneasily, unsure of whom to comfort.

After a long silence, Sullivan suddenly laughed. “Nyla, we’re here tonight for Ruby’s dinner invitation, so let’s not go back and forth. I don’t want to make things awkward for her.”
