As Nyla finished changing his bandages and tidying up the used items, she said, "You can go now. I need to get back to work."

"Yeah. You worked all night at the company and must be very busy. It's not ideal for you to stay in the lab for too long. We 1/3 should keep a low profile, Nyla explained Damon raised an eyebrow. "Why should we keep a low profile? We're dating now" "| I got divorced from Clark a few days ago, and last tyou were quite high profile at the company entrance. I don't like being the center of attention," Nyla said.
Damon wanted to point out that being with him would naturally attract attention, but seeing her serious expression, he agreed. "I can give you tto adjust, but I don't want to wait too long."

Nyla looked puzzled. "Second thoughts about what?" "You tell me!" Damon's face darkened. "First you say we should keep a low profile, and now you're avoiding lunch with me.

Seeing her embarrassed reaction, Damon smiled and said, "It's a good morning kiss."
He gently pinched her reddened cheek, which was filled with displeasure, and added "I promised to give you a month, so you'll have to give a little in return." "I'm just not used to being so intimate..." Nyla muttered. X
