Chasing the Unexpected

Chapter 96

Damon looked up at Spencer, his expression cool and detached. “Got it.”

Seeing Damon’s Indifferent reaction, Spencer felt he might be overdoing it by bringing this up. After reminding Damon about the 10:00 a.m. meeting, he turned and left.

At noon, Nyla took her meal card to the cafeteria.

As soon as she walked in, she was stunned by the luxurious setup. It looked more like a five–star restaurant than a cafeteria.

The food at each station was meticulously prepared and visually appealing. Moreover, the prices were incredibly low, almost the same as a university cafeteria.

The cafeteria had three floors, offering a variety of cuisines.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Nyla lined up at one of the food stations, collected her meal, and found a seat in a corner.

Tasting the soup, she was surprised at how delicious it was, comparable to what she had tasted at five- star restaurants before.

She had heard people online say that Prospectus Technology’s cafeteria was like a five–star restaurant and thought it was an exaggeration. She realized it was true now.

No wonder people joked that once someone joined Prospectus Technology, dieting became a thing of the past.

Focused on her meal, Nyla didn’t notice the curious and admiring glances from those around her. Soon, news of a new, beautiful employee spread throughout the company’s internal chat groups, along with a candid photo of Nyla’s profile taken by someone.

Everyone was curious about which department she worked in.

Unaware that she had become a hot topic among Prospectus Technology employees, Nyla returned to the lab after lunch.

It wasn’t long before someone approached Spencer to ask about her.

The chat group of the CEO’s office was buzzing with activity, with everyone tagging Spencer to inquire about Nyla.

[Mr. Hogg, that pretty girl who joined today must have some connections, right? You personally handled her onboarding. Now everyone in the company is curious about the department she’s in.]

[Yeah, and I saw how courteous you were to her. Is she related to some high–level executive?]

[I saw her too this morning. She’s really stunning. Even as a woman, I couldn’t help but take a second look.

Reading the messages, Spencer was a bit surprised. He didn’t expect Nyla to cause such a stir on her first day at Prospectus Technology.

After thinking for a moment, he replied in the group.

Spencer. [Stop guessing. She’s a research developer sent over from Park Pharmaceuticals, and she isn’t available.]

After sending that message, Spencer closed the chat app and went back to his documents.

Back in the lab, Nyla started her afternoon experiments. As the reaction began, she sat nearby, timing and recording the experiment.

It was then that she received a message from Clark.

Clark: [I’m downstairs at Prospectus Technology. Come down immediately, or I’ll come up to find you myself.]Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Nyla frowned, surprised that Clark found out about her working at Prospectus Technology so quickly. After a moment of thought, she called him,

The phone barely rang twice before he picked up, but he stayed silent.

“My transfer to Prospectus Technology was a company decision. There’s no point in you coming here,” she said.

“Then you can quit,” he rebuked.

His matter–of–fact tone made Nyla laugh in disbelief. “I’m not quitting. If you’re so worried about me and your uncle, why don’t you put a surveillance camera on me?”

With that, Nyla hung up. If Clark actually stormed into Prospectus Technology, he would only embarrass himself and potentially offend Damon, which would backfire.

In the car, Clark gripped his phone in anger, his eyes cold. He had warned Nyla, and now she dared to start working at Prospectus Technology. It seemed she needed to be taught a lesson.

That evening, Nyla was cleaning up her lab equipment when she received a call from Harrison.

The atmosphere was tense when she arrived at the hospital room.

Seeing her, Harrison spoke coldly. “Nyla, quit your job tomorrow.”
