After all, she had gotten together with Zayn because of the Updike Group. Since her intentions hadn't been pure, she had no right to expect genuine affection from him.
Nyla frowned and firmly placed the card in Valarie's hand, saying, “Valarie, just take the money for now. If you really don't need it later, you can return it to me.
"As for Zayn, I know you don't have many options, so I won't try to persuade you. Just make sure you've thought it through and won't regret it." Tears welled up in Valarie's eyes, and she stopped resisting. "Thank you, Nyla! No matter what happens with the Weir Group, I'll pay you back!” It was easy to celebrate someone's wins, but helping them through hardship was different. Over this period, Valarie had learned who her true friends were and who kicked her when she was down.

While facing her cold gaze, Sullivan's smile deepened. “Did you forget? Leon and Brody have shistory. If they run into each other, they might end up arguing or even fighting." It was a reasonable excuse, but something felt off to Nyla. Sullivan's attitude toward Ruby seemed to have shifted recently.
"Got it. I'll decide who picks up the files. I need to monitor the experiment, so you can go now," Nyla said dismissively.

Nyla was recording the temperature and replied after a moment, "Youn noticed too? He just toldthat you could go to his office to pick up files in the future. Ruby frowned, looking annoyed.
