Oliver, being attentive, asked kindly, "Ms. Jayston, are you feeling cold?" Nyla nodded. "Yes. It might be the air conditioning." As she spoke, Oliver had already begun to remove his jacket to drape it over her. However, a hand stopped him.
Oliver looked up in surprise and saw a man with an icy demeanor and hostility in his eyes. He recognized Damon from previous business dealings with Prospectus Technology, though he was only a department manager and doubted Damon would remember him. "Hello, Mr. Sumner," Oliver greeted.
Damon raised an eyebrow and replied coolly, "You know me?" "Yes, I'm Oliver Raynor, the manager of the procurement department at Go Enterprise. We've met before," Oliver explained.
"Not ringing a bell," Damon said.

Nyla yanked her wrist free and said coldly, "Mr. Sumner, please show srespect."
"Show srespect?" Damon laughed lightly, his eyes gleaming with a dangerous intensity. "Nyla, you smiled so sweetly at Oliver just now. Do you think this is yet appropriate? You rejectjust to be with someone like him?
Nyla's face hardened as she frowned. "Criticizing others won't elevate you. Oliver is a very nice person. Although she hadn't known Oliver for long, she could tell he was different from other men she had met.
