rk shook his head. “How could that be? I just hope you understand that someone with nothing can be fearless.”
He turned and left after speaking.
Back in the car, rk shook his sleeve, and a knife fell out, its de glinting coldly.
He picked it up and sneered. If Damon hadn’t agreed earlier, this knife would have been pressed against N’s neck.
He wouldn’t have done that unless absolutely necessary, though. After all, N was once his wife.
Only N and Damon remained in the office.
The room fell into silence, with neither of them speaking.
N took a deep breath and looked at Damon. “Mr. Sumner, I’m really sorry about this morning. I didn’t expect him to show up and use me to threaten you.”
Damon frowned. “You don’t need to apologize for what rk did.”
Her pale face clearly indicated rk’s actions had shaken her..
“I also caused you trouble, and I appreciate you saving me. If there’s nothing else, I’ll get back to work now,” N added.
As she turned to leave, Damon’s cold voice stopped her. “Wait!”
N tightened her grip on the door handle, her heart racing as she heard his footsteps behind her. When she turned to speak, her chin was grabbed.
She frowned and instinctively tried to push Damon away<b>. </b>But her wrist was caught, and she was pressed against the door.
“Mr. Sumner… please let me go…” she requested.
Damonughed bitterly at her distant gaze. “Try calling me ‘Mr. Sumner‘ one more time.”
N’s eyes shed with anger. Her voice turned icy. “Mr. Sumner, I—<b>” </b>
Before she could finish, Damon’s kiss came.
She instinctively turned her face away, his lips brushing against her cheek.
Anger sparked in her eyes. The humiliation was overwhelming. Damon clearly saw her resistance but still showed no respect.
N pressed her lips together and looked up at him, her voice steady. “Damon, do you see me as just a ything?
“Even if I’ve broken up with you and want nothing more to do with you, you still do whatever you want with me, and I have no choice but to ept?<b>” </b>
Despite N’s deep hurt, her tears swirled in her eyes, stubbornly refusing <i>to </i>fall.
Damon suddenly felt a wave of regret and pain, more intense than when she had broken up with him.
“N, I’m sorry,” he said. N?velDrama.Org owns this text.
He reached out to wipe the tears from her eyes, but she pulled away.
“If you really felt sorry, you wouldn’t keep bothering me,” N said.
Damon sighed. He had intended to keep his distance for the next three months, but seeing rk’s hand on her waist earlier had nearly driven him mad with jealousy.
He realized he was truly in love with her.
“My rtionship with her isn’t real,” he tried to exin.
Upon seeing the sincerity in his eyes, N’s expression turned cynical. She coldly looked away. “Whether it’s real or not doesn’t concern me. Please let me go.”
Damon leaned in slowly and rested his forehead against hers, his tone coaxing. “N, don’t be so cold. I’l tell you everything, okay? The reason I got back with her is that-<b>” </b>
“Stop!” N interrupted. “No matter the reason, the fact that you’re getting back with her is the reality. Whether it’s real or not doesn’t matter to me. I don’t want to be involved in your rtionship. If you keep bothering me, I’ll have to resign.”
Damon’s expression darkened. “I won’t agree to that!”
“I’m not an employee of Prospectus Technology. As long as Park Pharmaceuticals agrees, it’s fine,” N stated.
Seeing her resolute expression, Damon felt as though he was truly losing her.
“If I stop bothering you, will you not resign?” he asked.
N had intended to say she would still resign once she got into a graduate program in Capitarnia, but that was her matter and not something she needed to share.
