Nyla pressed her lips together and called him. "I'm still out. There's no need to bringanything next time." After a few seconds of silence on the other end, Gabriel's gentle voice cthrough. "Alright. It's already past 10:00 p.m. Do you needto pick you up?" Because of what Wren had said, Nyla wasn't eager to have too much contact with Gabriel. She declined, "No, my friend is givinga ride. If there's nothing else, that's it." She hung up, and Valarie looked at her with curiosity. "Who were you talking to?" "My stepbrother," Nyla answered.
Valarie's eyes widened in surprise. "He's back? When did that happen?" Since Valarie used to visit Nyla's hoften, she had met Gabriel several times.
"Just a few days ago," Nyla replied.
"Oh, he seems to be quite concerned about you now. I remember when I used to visit you. He was pretty aloof," Valarie remarked.
"Yeah. By the way... I said I'd cover the bill tonight, but you ended up doing it. Sendthe bill, and I'll reimburse you," Nyla said.

"I knew she was a scheming little bitch! Are you just going to let this go?" Valarie demanded.
The thought of Nathaniel making Nyla apologize to Rebecca made Valarie want to confront him.
"There were no cameras in the restroom, and only Nathaniel saw what happened. He won't backup," Nyla said.
"Nathaniel is completely under Rebecca's spell, so he'll definitely side with her." The more Valarie spoke, the angrier she became.
It felt like having a fly stuck in her throat-nauseating to swallow but impossible to spit out.
It was no wonder Rebecca had managed to make Damon and Nyla break up as soon as she returned to the country. Most people wouldn't have the heart to harm themselves to get what they wanted. "Consider today a lesson learned. I'll keep my distance from her in the future," Nyla said.
Valarie snorted. "I'm just worried that you might want to keep your distance, but she won't let you." Nyla frowned, her expression growing cold. "I won't give her a chance to schagainsta second time." "I see Damon seems quite concerned about you. If you really wanted compete with Rebecca, you might not necessarily lose," Valarie remarked.
Nyla smiled wryly. "If a relationship requires constant scheming and et with another en fig off without it." ( She might like Damon but wouldn't sacrifice her dignity for him.
"True, there are plenty of men out there. If this one doesn't work out, just move on to the next," Valarie remarked.
Nyla was a bit surprised. "You didn't use to think that way."
"It just means I was too naive before.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIf men can fall for someone new so easily, why can't I?" Xalarie countered. Nyla was somewhat speechless. "Alright..." There might be struth to that.
Anyway, she wasn't interested in relationships right now. She just wanted to focus on work and earn more money. Valarie dropped Nyla off downstairs and then left. As Nyla took the elevator to her floor and stepped out, she saw Gabriel standing at her door.
When he saw her, he quickly approached and handed her a bag. "I thought you wouldn't be back so soon." The bag contained spacked meals.
Nyla didn't take it.
"I made this myself. I noticed you've been ordering takeout every night and it's not good for your health," Gabriel explained.
