Trading My Ex for His Uncle

Brandon only knew how to send flowers, gifts, or food every day. He never thought to create surprises like Damon did.

Valarie could always predict what Brandon would send, and it never surprised or touched her.

It was boring.

"I'll leave it to you tomorrow, then," Damon reminded her.

"I'm happy to help," Valarie replied. "But I have a suggestion for you."

Damon raised an eyebrow. "What suggestion?"

"Teach Brandon how to create surprises." Valarie huffed. "That way, he won't just stand outside my office building every day."

Damon chuckled. "Thanks for the compliment. I'll do my best."

After hanging up, Valarie tidied her desk, grabbed her bag, and left the office.noveldrama

As soon as she stepped outside, she spotted Brandon waiting nearby.

She rolled her eyes and pretended not to see him.

Brandon quickly caught up. "Valarie, I've been waiting outside your office for half a month now. Can't you just give me a chance? Let's have a meal together."

Valarie glanced at him. "Brandon, if you don't know how to chase a woman, go ask your uncle. I have something urgent to do, so I don't have time for this."

Without another word, she got into her car and drove off.

Brandon stood frozen, watching Valarie's car disappear. He pulled out his phone and dialed Damon.

"Uncle Damon, what have you been up to lately? Why did Valarie tell me to ask you how to pursue a woman?" he asked.

Half an hour later, Valarie arrived at Damon's villa and rang the doorbell.

When Nyla opened the door and saw Valarie, she looked surprised. "I thought you were super busy lately. How do you have time to visit?"

"If I'm here, I obviously have a reason. I need you to come with me to an event," Valarie said.

Nyla chuckled. "What kind of event needs me to come along?"

"A business banquet. But my dad set up a few lind dates for me there I don't trust my own judgment, so I need you to help me see if any of them are worth considering. Valarie fabricated the excuse smoothly.

Nyla frowned. "But it's a business event. There's a chance Damon will be there...

He hasn't been letting me go out lately. If he sees me at the banquet, he'll definitely be mad."

Lately, Damon had been treating her like a rare treasure. If he wasn't home, he wouldn't let her leave the house except to walk around the villa garden. He was terrified she might trip, bump into someone, or anything else might happen to her.

At first, Nyla hadn't been concerned, but his behavior had made her start to feel uneasy about going out.

"He won't be there. I heard he is leaving on a business trip tomorrow. If you're worried about safety, can hire eight bodyguards to make sure no one gets near you," Valarie assured her.

Nyla couldn't help but laugh. "I'm not a national treasure. I don't need that kind of protection. It's true I haven't gone out in a while.

"I'll ask Damon tonight. If he's really leaving on a business trip, I'll sneak out and go with you."

"Great! It's a deal! You can't back out-my happiness depends on you!" Valarie insisted.

Seeing how serious Valarie was, as if missing this banquet would ruin her future happiness, Nyla laughed. "Okay, okay. I got it."
