Nyla froze for a moment, her face flushing instantly. She had been so worried about Mason lately that she hadn't had time to consider her feelings for Oliver.

In truth, she didn't need to think too hard-she had already decided to give things a try with him.

"Oliver, I've made up my mind. I want to give us a chance, but I've always thought of you as just a good friend, so I can't promise I'll definitely fall in love with you," she said.

Oliver had treated her exceptionally well over the years, doing so much for her. She felt that no one else would care for her like he did, and she didn't want to deceive him. She appreciated everything he had done, but gratitude alone wouldn't be enough for a lifetime together.

At her words, disappointment flashed in Oliver's eyes, but he understood that feelings couldn't be forced.

"Alright, let's give it some time. How about three months? If after that you still can't love me, we'll just remain friends," he said.

Nyla felt a pang of guilt. "I'm sorry."

Oliver looked at her softly. "Nyla, don't apologize. You haven't done anything wrong, and I'm already happy that you're willing to give me a chance."

He liked her and wanted to take care of her. Of course, he hoped she would grow to love him in return, but he wouldn't push it if she couldn't. Above all, he wanted her to be happy.

Meeting ver's tender gaze, Nyla felt a rush of emotion. "Okay."

Even though she didn't love Oliver yet, she would try her best.

"So, am I your boyfriend now?" Oliver asked.

Nyla smiled and nodded. "Of course, but there's still a three-month probation."

Oliver raised an eyebrow. "I'll work hard to make it official before then."

"Good luck with that!" Nyla teased.

"By the way, there's one more thing I wanted to tell you. My people found out that Spencer is still investigating Buddy. I talked to him

before coming here, so he shouldn't continue the investigation anymore, but... he has likely figured out that Buddy is Damon's child," Oliver informed her.

Nyla frowned, not entirely surprised. "I'm still worried. After all, he is Damon's secretary. What if..."

Oliver took her cold hand gently. "Don't worry. Even if Damon finds out Buddy is his son, I won't let him take Buddy away from you.

"And he currently has lost his memory and has a fiancee. He doesn't have any feelings for either of you. Even if he knows, he might not try to take Buddy.

"Ultimately, it all comes down to Buddy's wishes anyway."

His analysis helped Nyla calm down, making her realize she had been unnecessarily anxious these past few days. Nothing had even happened yet, and she had been on edge.

She nodded. "Okay, I understand now. Thank you, Oliver."

"I really don't want to hear you say 'I'm sorry' or 'thank you' again. You haven't done anything wrong, and solving problems for my girlfriend is what I'm supposed to do as your boyfriend," Oliver declared. Nyla couldn't help but laugh at him. "You're getting into character pretty quickly."

"Of course! Now that I can call myself your boyfriend, I want to shout it from the rooftops," Oliver confessed.

His expression was serious, his eyes full of tenderness and affection, yet none of that put any pressure on Nyla. It was like a gentle breeze that stirred her hair and touched her heartstrings. Suddenly, her heartbeat quickened.

Instinctively, she pulled her hand back and looked away. "It's getting late. You just got back from a

business trip, so you must be tired. You should he
