Chasing the Unexpected

Nyla was dazed for a few seconds before she felt an indescribable warmth well up inside her.

After getting up, washing up, taking her medicine, and eating her chicken soup, she decided to thank Damon properly. After all, she had been holding onto his hand all night, and he probably hadn’t had a good

rest.

When she reached the door of the room next door, it opened from the inside just as she reached out to

knock

Damon, with slightly damp hair and dressed in a fresh outfit, seemed to have just taken a shower.

“Mr. Sumner, I came to thank you for last night. I appreciate it,” Nyla said.

Seeing Nyla’s eyes lowered, her hands awkwardly clasped in front of her, Damon thought she seemed a bit uncomfortable and nervous around him.

Upon realizing this, his mood unexpectedly soured. He pressed his thin lips together.

“There’s no need for thanks. Just make sure to speak up if you’re feeling unwell next time. Don’t make things difficult for others,” he said.

His indifferent tone made Nyla feel even more ashamed. “I understand.”

“Alright. Prepare yourself and be ready to leave for Skyray at 8:00 a.m.,” he instructed.

Back in her room, Nyla felt a bit down. The events from last night seemed to have left Damon dissatisfied with her.

When she thought it was all because of Clark, her mood worsened. She resolved not to let him affect her feelings any further.

By around 9:00 a.m., they arrived at Skyray Medical.

They were greeted by Bill, who showed them the medicinal herb cleaning and processing workshop, as well as the production workshop. He then took them to the testing laboratory.

*Ms. Jayston, which herb would you like to test?” Bill asked.

Looking at the herbs on the tray, Nyla frowned slightly but chose one of them. “Let’s test this one.”

Bill smiled. “Alright.”

Nyla carefully cut, ground, and filtered the herb, setting up the experimental equipment to extract the active ingredients. She was meticulous and precise in her approach, and with her striking appearance, her movements were almost pleasing to watch.

For a moment, Damon’s gaze was drawn to her.

Nyla looked even more beautiful while focused on her experiment, her concentration lending her an irresistible allure that drew attention.

When Nyla shared the results with Damon, Bill let out a small sigh of relief and smiled at him.

“Mr. Sumner, our herbs at Skyray Medical are strictly managed from cultivation to harvesting according to standards, which is why the active ingredient percentage is so high. You won’t regret choosing to

cooperate with us,” Bill commented.

“Mm, this percentage is quite good, and the herb quality is excellent,” Damon remarked.

“So, what do you think about the cooperation?” BIII asked.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“We don’t need to rush on the cooperation details just yet. Considering Prospectus Technology’s large demand, I need to evaluate thoroughly, Damon replied.

Bill nodded repeatedly. “Of course, Mr. Sumner. Please take your time to consider. How about lunch in our company’s cafeteria today?”

“Sure.”

After a tour and lunch, Bill sent Damon and the others back to their hotel.

Back at the hotel, Damon asked Nyla, “What do you think of the active ingredient percentage from today?“,

“If all the herbs from Skyray Medical have this quality, partnering with them will be a guaranteed win. However, herbs of this quality have high growth requirements, so large–scale production is difficult,” she answered.

“Alright. We have some free time this afternoon. Let’s visit the nearby herb production base,” Damon said.
