    Damon put the file down and sat across from N.


    Noticing two portions of breakfast on the table, he asked, "You haven''t eaten either?"


    "No," N replied as she opened the packages and handed one to him. "I came to eat with you. Spencer told me he brought you breakfast this morning, but you didn''t touch it."


    "I was too busy," Damon said.


    "Being busy isn''t an excuse to skip meals. I saw your assistants running around like crazy, and I heard they barely got any sleepst night. Is the issue with thepany that serious?" N asked.


    "It''s significant," Damon admitted. "Our chips might be causing malfunctions in our partner''s machines. If that''s confirmed, thepany will face a massivepensation payout."


    N frowned, worry shing in her eyes. "I can''t help much with work, but the least I can do is keep things in order at home. By the way, are youing home tonight?"


    "Probably not," he replied. "There''s still a lot to handle."


    "Alright. Finish your breakfast. I''ll head hometer and pack a couple of outfits for you," N said.


    "Okay," Damon replied.


    As he ate, Spencer knocked and entered with a grim expression. "Mr. Sumner, Lace''s in Capitarnia has decided to terminate their contract with us as well."


    Sincest night, dozens of partners had cut ties with Prospectus Technology. At this rate, thepany''s cash flow would soon be in critical condition. Damon set his breakfast aside and stood. "Contact Mr. Lace''s secretary immediately. Arrange a meeting and book the earliest flight to Capitarnia. I''ll go there myself."


    As he moved toward the door, N called after him, "I''ll pack a few clothes and send them to the airport."


    He stopped, turned back, and pulled her into a hug.


    "I''ll probably be extremely busy for a while. Thank you for taking care of Buddy," he said in a low voice.


    "Don''t mention it," she said. "That''s what I''m here for. Don''t worry about us."


    "Alright," he replied, pressing a kiss to her forehead before stepping away and leaving quickly.


    N looked at the barely touched breakfast, sighed, and began tidying up.


    She then left thepany, returned to the vi, and quickly packed two outfits to send to the airport with the driver.


    As she worked, Lydia noticed her hurried movements and asked, "Ms. Kinsey, is something wrong with Mr. Sumner''spany?"


    N turned and saw Lydia''s


    concerned expression. Offering


    reassuring smile, she said, "It''s


    et


    nothing major, just a busy period for now."

    Seeing N''s calm demeanor, Lydia rxed. "Alright then."


    By evening, Brandon arrived at the vi.


    "Aunt N, I need to talk to you about something," he said, his expression serious.


    N''s heart sank at his tone.


    "Let''s talk in the study," she said.


    Once inside, Brandon handed her a document and a bank card.


    "Uncle Damon asked me to give these to you before he left for Capitarnia. The card''s PIN is your birthday," he said.


    N didn''t take them. "What does he


    mean by this? He''s not going to


    Capitania forever. Why is he


    passing these througel.ne?


    "He was in too much of a rush to give them

    "I''m not taking them. I''ll wait for him toe back," N said.
