N’s voice was impatient, indicating she didn’t want any contact with him.


    Damon’s gaze dimmed. “I understand. I’m here for personal matters. I’m currently downstairs at your hotel.”


    N let out a sarcasticugh. “If it’s personal, then we have even less to discuss. I’m noting down, so please leave.”


    With that, she hung up.


    When Damon tried calling back, he found himself blocked, and his expression darkened. Since she wouldn’te down, he decided to find her himself.


    As he was about to get out of the car, his phone suddenly rang. When he saw it was Reba, his grip on the phone tightened.


    After a moment’s hesitation, he answered.


    Momentster, Damon’s ck Maybach pulled away from the hotel.


    By 8:00 p.m., N was watching a drama when a photo message from Melody popped up on her phone.


    N paused the video and opened the message. After seeing the photo, she involuntarily frowned.


    Melody: [N, Mr. Sumner is outrageous. Just a few days after breaking up with you, he’s already out with his ex–girlfriend, and the paparazzi caught them. Everyone at thepany is secretlyughing at you. It’s infuriating!]


    The photo was taken at a famous shopping mall in Saintornia.


    Damon was carrying several shopping bags–all from high–end women’s brands- while Reba walked beside him, smiling happily.


    N thought Damon’s time management was starting to rival rk’s. Just aftering to the hotel to find her, he was already out shopping with Reba.


    N: [I’m not interested in such news, so don’t send me updates like this.]


    After sending the reply, N resumed watching the drama, but she was distracted.


    Realizing she couldn’t focus, she turned off the video and got up. She went to the window, taking deep breaths to try and shake off her frustration<b>, </b>but it didn’t work.


    Damon reconciling with Reba and still waiting downstairs at N’s hotel only made N more irritated. What did he want?


    After some thought, N decided to treat him as if he didn’t exist, just like before. Any further entanglement would onlyplicate matters.


    Early the next morning, Damon was already waiting for N at the hotel entrance as she headed down.


    “N, let’s talk,” he said. N?velDrama.Org owns this text.


    N’s reply was cold. “I have nothing to discuss with you. Please don’t harass me again.”


    Damon frowned, his tone serious. “As long as you stay away from Gabriel, I won’t bother you for the next three months.”


    N sneered. “He’s my brother and my colleague. Why should I stay away from him? You’re the one who should stay away from me.<b>” </b>


    Her indifferent gaze cut through Damon like a sharp knife, causing him pain.


    “N, even though he’s your brother, you don’t share any blood rtion,” he stated.


    “What do you mean?” N looked at him, her eyes filled with disbelief and anger. “Do you suspect something between Gabriel and me?”


    Gabriel was her stepbrother. How could Damon think so poorly of them?!


    “I just don’t want you getting too close to other men,” Damon said.


    N found itughable. “Damon, do I need to remind you that we have no rtionship now? On what grounds and with what right do you tell me to stay away from other men?”
