Chapter 1481:
“So that’s why you keep switching boyfriends and hitting clubs?” Jessica asked.
Nyla paused for a second, then took another drink. “That about sums it up.”
Jessica couldn't help herself. “It’s like watching a soap opera.”
Nyla’s lips curved into a faint smile, her posture easing as she relaxed into the moment.
She told Jessica this story because she already knew what her reaction would be. Whenever she shared it with
other friends, she would usually get pity or gentle concern. Enough thad passed that she didn’t need that
anymore. What she wanted was someone like Jessica—someone who would just cut through the and give
her a reality check, sarcasm and all.
“If I were in your shoes, I'd put all my energy into becoming the best version of myself,” Jessica said, her
sympathy muted by practicality. “The world won't stop spinning because of one heartbreak. Life isn't defined by
having a man around.”
Nyla had a lot going for her—family, education, good looks. There was no reason someone like her should let
love bring her to her knees.
Nyla perked up, letting a mischievous grin slip through. “In that case, hand Melvin over.”
“Keep that up, and I'll drag you to the restroom and dunk your head in cold water until you snap out of it,”
Jessica shot back, clearly annoyed. She set her untouched drink aside. “Get everyone moving. I'll drive you
home.”
Nyla let out a soft laugh. “Much appreciated, my dear chauffeur.”

Still grinning, Nyla said nothing more. She got up, roused her friends, and helped them into the car.
By the tJessica pulled up at Nyla’s place, it was almost eleven. As she was about to leave, Nyla called after
her.
“Jessica.”
Before she could get another word in, Jessica cut her off. “If you're about to askto babysit three drunks
tonight, forget it!”

“No, that’s not it. What | want is for you to teachhow to run a business.” Nyla shook her head, her tone
shifting to something more sincere. For once, all the teasing faded from her face.
“I've forgotten most of what I learned in school. Don’t worry, I'll pay you for your time.”
Jessica paused for a second, then said, “Cby Prescott Group next Monday.”
Nyla’s smile returned, easy as ever. “Thanks, sweetie.”
