Facing N’s cold, unyielding gaze, any exnation seemed inadequate.


    Damon lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice, “You don’t need to worry about this. I’ll handle it.”


    hether you handle it or not is irrelevant to me. I’m nning to resign,” N said tly


    A cold glint shed in Damon’s eyes. “N, I’ve already told you I won’t let you resign.”


    You are not important to me and have no right to interfere in my decisions. I’m simply giving yo advance notice that you need to find someone to rece me. This isn’t up for discussion,” N stated firmly


    A heavy silence settled in the room, creating a stifling atmosphere between them,


    After an indeterminate amount of time, Damon’s hoarse voice broke the silence. “Do you really despise me this much? Would you rather resign than continue working at Prospectus Technology?”


    N frowned Content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    While her decision to resign was partly because she didn’t want to continue dealing with Damon, it also because she needed time to study for her exams. She wanted to seed on her first attempt, and working would distract her from her studies.


    She simply didn’t feel the need to share that reason with Damon.


    “If you understand, then why insist on forcing me to stay at Prospectus Technology?” she asked.


    N’s gaze remained calm and her expression emotionless.


    Damon, however, felt a storm of turmoil inside him, his <b>gaze </b>growing dimmer.


    After Damon left, Vrie entered the room. Seeing <b>that </b>N seemed stable, she finally rxed a bit.


    “When Damon left, his face was so grim that I thought you two had a fight,” Vrie remarked. N shook her head. “At this point, what’s the use in arguing?”


    Vrie nodded. “True.”


    Back at Prospectus Technology, Damon was greeted by a throng of entertainment reporters gathered outside. His frown deepened.


    He called Spencer and asked coldly. “Didn’t I tell you to clear everyone from the entrance?”


    “Mr. Sumner, 1 had security chase them away, but they’re like stubborn pests–refusing to leave,” Spencer replied.


    “Then call the police.” With that, Damon hung up.


    Recalling how N had tried to distance herself from him earlier, his frustration mounted, and he decided to contact Reba.


    The phone rang for a long time before it was answered


    “Damon, what’s up?” Reba’s voice was hoarse, tinged with guilt.


    Damon, preupied with his troubles, didn’t notice. He asked, “Are you free this afternoon? Let’s meet.”


    “Y–Yes, where should we meet? At yourpany or…” Reba inquired.


    “I’ll have my secretary book a room. I’ll send you the address shortly,” Damon said.


    “Okay,” Reba replied.


    Damon ended the call abruptly.


    In the bar’s private room, Reba finally felt a sense of relief when she heard the dial tone.


    She was naked, her fair skin marked with various intimate traces.


    Clothes were scattered across the floor from the door to the sofa, creating a chaotic scene that indicated how intense the previous night had been.


    Just as Reba put her phone down, a strong hand wrapped around her waist, causing her to shiver involuntarily.


    Nathaniel rested his chin on her shoulder and murmured, “When are you nning to break up with Damon?


    Reba immediately pushed his hand away and frowned at him. “When did I say I was breaking up with him?”


    Her eyes were icy, and Nathaniel’s heart sank as his face turned grim. He asked, “We’ve slept together now, and you still don’t n to break up with Damon?”
