Trading My Ex for His Uncle



Unfortunately, there was no such thing as "what if". At least, in the end, they did meet again, and now, they were together.

Half an hour later, Damon's black Cayenne pulled up outside a restaurant. He and Nyla got out of the car and walked inside. Just as they reached the entrance, they ran into Jane.

Jane was walking out with a middle-aged man in a suit. Both of them were smiling, but when they saw Damon, they both stopped in their tracks. The middle-aged man greeted Damon with a smile, "Mr. Sumner, are you here for dinner with your girlfriend?"

"Yes, Mr. Tonra. Are you and Ms. Wilkie here for a business meeting?" Damon asked.

Shane nodded and smiled. "Yes, we're almost done."

Damon didn't press further. "Alright, let's have a meal together next time."noveldrama

"Sounds good," Shane replied.

Throughout the exchange, Jane didn't get a chance to speak to Damon.

After what had happened with Mason and Wilhelm, she didn't have the nerve to speak to him anyway. She left with Shane, her head lowered in embarrassment.

The brief encounter wasn't something Damon or Nyla paid much attention to. They turned and walked into the restaurant.

Outside the restaurant, Jane stood by Shane's car, seeing him off. "Mr. Tonra, I'll discuss the project with the board tomorrow. Once I get their approval, I'll head over to Starlite to sign the contract."

Shane got into the car and rolled down the window. "Alright, I'll wait for your update. Don't disappoint me like last time. This project was hard-fought, and a lot of companies are eyeing it. Please give me an answer as soon as possible."

"Yes, I'll get back to you before the end of the day tomorrow," Jane promised.

"Good. Don't bother seeing me off. I'll be waiting for your good news," Shane said.

Jane nodded with a smile. "Okay."

After sending Shane off, Jane immediately called Gabriel to share the news about securing Starlite's project.

Gabriel was excited. "Jane, you're amazing! Grandpa will be so happy when he hears about the project!"

This project was government-led,

et

unlike the Golden Waters Resort project, which was an internal initiative of Starlite Enterprise and carried a huge investment risk. The new project Jane had secured had no such problems.

Jane was thrilled as she walked toward her car. "Yes, I'll go tell Grandpa right away. I have to drive now. I'll talk to you later."

After hanging up, she quickened her pace, eager to get to the Wilkie residence and share the news with Pedro.

With this project, Theo would no longer be able to threaten her position as General Manager of the Wilkie Group. She was confident she would soon become the head of the Wilkie Group!

Inside the restaurant, the waiter led Nyla and Damon upstairs to a private room.

As soon as they entered, Nyla saw a cake placed in the center of the table. Written in cream was a message: "The 5,113th day since meeting Ms. Kinsey."

Nyla was momentarily stunned, a

wave of emotion swelling inside her.

She hadn't expected Damon to remember the exact day they first met, let alone realize he had felt so

strongly from the very beginning.
