**Through Unseen Doors We Step Into Untold Worlds Beyond by Sage Hunter Lane 115**

Jacqueline mustered a smile, albeit a strained one, as she stood up from her seat. “Alright then, there’s this new restaurant that everyone’s raving about. Once your schedule clears up, we should definitely go there together,” she suggested, her voice infused with a hint of eagerness.

“Sure,” Tom replied, his tone casual, though the flicker in his eyes hinted at something deeper.

After Jacqueline departed, Tom’s expression shifted to one of contemplation. He frowned, his gaze locked onto his phone for what felt like an eternity. Finally, he dialed Valarie’s number, but the call was met with an incessant busy tone. Frustration washed over him, darkening his mood entirely.

“Nyla, Nyla?” Melody’s voice broke through the haze of his thoughts, calling out to her with a note of urgency.

Startled, Nyla jolted back to reality, her eyes meeting Melody’s inquisitive gaze. She took a moment to gather her scattered thoughts. “Sorry, what did you say?” she replied, her voice slightly distant.

“Is something bothering you, Nyla? You’ve been really absent-minded lately,” Melody probed, concern etched on her face.

Nyla’s gaze dropped to the floor, her mind racing. After a brief silence, she suddenly rose to her feet with a sense of determination. “Melody, I just remembered something important that I need to handle. You can head back to the lab after lunch; I’ll be fine on my own.”

Before Melody could voice her concern or offer to accompany her, Nyla swiftly grabbed her tray and made her way out. After returning it, she took the elevator to the top floor, her heart beating a little faster with each passing moment.

When Spencer caught sight of her, a frown creased his brow as he stepped into her path. “Ms. Jayston, Mr. Sumner is currently resting. If you need something, it would be best to return in the afternoon,” he informed her, his tone firm yet not unkind.

Nyla met his gaze with resolve. “No need for that. I’ll wait here,” she replied, her voice steady.

“Is it urgent?” Spencer asked, a hint of concern creeping into his voice. Though he didn’t harbor much fondness for Nyla since the incident at the hospital, he felt a twinge of worry that Damon might be displeased if she had something important to discuss.

Nyla shook her head softly. “It’s not urgent. I can wait until he wakes up.”

Finding a chair in the break room, she settled down, her thoughts swirling like autumn leaves caught in a gust of wind.
