Chapter <b>285 </b>


    Cindy was furious and raised her hand to p N. However, before her hand could make contact, N had already grabbed her wrist.


    “Let go!” Cindy shrieked.


    N smiled. “I suggest you adjust your attitude before asking for favors next time. Otherwise, you’ll just end up looking foolish.”


    With that, she released Cindy’s wrist.


    Still struggling, Cindy didn’t expect N to suddenly let go. She lost her bnce and fell awkwardly to the ground.


    As the elevator doors opened, N walked in without looking back.


    Cindy tried to stop her, but the pain from her twisted ankle prevented her from getting up to chase after N.


    “Stop right there! You bitch! I won’t let this go!” Cindy screeched.


    An icy glint crossed N’s eyes.


    Once the elevator doors closed and reached the first floor, she headed straight to the surveince room. After copying the security footage of the argument with Cindy in front of the elevator, she left.


    N then went to the top floor to find Damon but was told he was currently in a meeting. She handed the medicine and


    13


    bandages to Spencer.


    “<b>Mr. </b>Hogg, please help him change the bandages once he’s done with the meeting,” she requested.


    Spencer took the items and hesitated before speaking. “Ms. Jayston, if you don’t have anything urgent, <b>it </b>would be best to avoiding to the top floor to see Mr. Sumner. Many shareholders of Prospectus Technology are aware of what happened yesterday, and they’re quite upset about the unclear rtionship between you and Mr. Sumner.”


    If news of Damon being with his nephew’s ex–wife got out online, it could negatively impact Prospectus Technology’s reputation.


    While shareholders might not care about Damon’s personal life, they would be the first to protest if his personal affairs started affecting their interests.


    Seeing that N didn’t respond, Spencer sighed and


    continued. “Ms. Jayston, Mr. Sumner wouldn’t tell you this directly, but if you truly care about him, you wouldn’t want to put him in a difficult position.”


    N nodded. “I understand. I’ll try to avoid meeting him at thepany.”


    Spencer’s expression rxed a bit due to her agreement. ” Thank you. Please don’t mention this to Mr. Sumner.”


    “Don’t worry, I won’t. I know it’s almost work time, so I won’t keep you any longer,” N said.


    Back in her office, N sat at her desk, staring nkly at herputer.


    “N, are you okay?” Melody asked.


    N turned her head and forced a smile. “It’s nothing. I didn’t sleep wellst night. Let’s start working.”


    “Oh, okay…” Melody replied, unsure of what else to say.


    Just as theypleted a stage of their experiment, Damon arrived with the medicine and bandages N had given to Spencer.


    N asked him to wait in the office while she finished‘ recording the experiment data. She handed thepleted data to Melody before leaving. This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    When N walked into the office, she saw Damon sleeping in her chair. She tiptoed closer and noticed the dark circles under his eyes and the exhaustion etched on his face. It seemed he had been working all night.


    She intended to let him rest a bit longer, but just as she turned. to leave, he wrapped his arms around her waist and rested his


    chin on her shoulder.


    “Why didn’t you wake me?” Damon asked.


    N gently pushed him away and looked down. “I saw your sleeping so deeply in my chair and figured you must be exhausted. I wanted you to get a few more minutes of rest.”
