He hung up immediately after that Nyta took a deep breath to steady her anger and frustration, vowing that she would get another chance to catch him.
After changing her clothes, she grabbed her bag and headed out. As she approached the elevator, the doors slid open. She hesitated for a moment when she saw the two people inside. Rebecca, dressed in a white dress, was clinging to Demon's arm, her face bright with a smile.

Once she was in her car, she started the engine and drove away, unaware of Damon's gaze lingering faintly on her departing figure.
After Nyla feft, Damon withdrew his hand from Rebecca's grasp, his expression turning cold. "I have other matters to attend to. I'lhave the driver take you home." Rebecca's eyes widened in disbelief. "What? Damon, you're not having dinner with me?" "I'm busy. If you need someone to accompany you, I'll call Nathaniel," Damon suggested.

Damon's expression darkened. "She's different from you." Tears slowly fell from Rebecca's eyes as she looked at him with a bitter smile Yes, of course, she's different. She doesn't have to do anything to easily win your love
