Love On Ice: Don’t Leave Me, My Charming Liar

Chapter 94: When she had returned to the country, her father's investigation had shown Ethan had stayed away from women for years. So why was he breaking his own rules for Nyla? Frustration gnawed at her. "This is your desk. I'm across from you. If you have any questions, feel free to ask," Jackson said, gesturing toward a workspace. Nyla raised her brows, surprised to see Jackson had his own desk. She had assumed he was always on-call as Ethan's personal bodyguard. After a pause, she said cautiously, "On the same floor as the CEO's office?

Maybe I should be in the secretary department instead." After all, she was essentially a secretary, and such special treatment might draw unnecessary attention. "This is Mr. Brooks' arrangement," Jackson said simply before returning to his desk and immersing himself in work. Nyla sighed, finally placing her bag down and organizing her things. She set to work, familiarizing herself with her responsibilities and handling some studio-related tasks. She often felt her life was either consumed by work or the journey to work.

On a brighter note, Claudine had arrived in Gerchland, and the medical team had begun treatment. The updates seemed promising, and Nyla allowed herself a small sense of relief. "Take this to the CEO's office," Jackson instructed, handing her a stack of documents. Nyla took a quick look at them and realized why Ethan was in charge. Carrying the documents to the CEO's office, she hesitated briefly upon entering. Callie was there. Still, Nyla walked over to Ethan and placed the papers on his desk. "These need your signature today," she said.

Nyla suppressed a weary sigh, regretting the decision to pretend to be friends with Callie. "It happened yesterday afternoon. I'm here to learn and collaborate," she said, sneaking a glance at Ethan, who remained impassive. She added, "The studio will continue working with Crestwave." "You should've told me," Callie said warmly, slipping her arm around Nyla's. "I could've shown you around.

Ethan, why didn't you mention it?" "It's not a big deal," Nyla replied curtly. She was ready to leave when a sudden sharp pain shot through her arm. Callie had grabbed her, noticing a faint red mark on Nyla's neck. It was the confirmation Callie had been seeking. Realizing her grip was too forceful, Callie quickly released her. "Sorry, did I hurt you?" Callie said sweetly before turning to Ethan. "Don't forget to take me home later. Your father wants to finalize the guest list for the engagement party." Ethan gave a faint acknowledgment, but Nyla's composure cracked.

A heavy ache settled in her chest. . . .
