Chapter 61

Penulis: Tangy Candy
A single sentence from Nick had unleashed a barrage from his grandparents. Even through the phone, their urgency felt like a riptide, threatening to pull him under.

He'd had enough. "Fine, I'll find a chance to bring her to meet you."

He ended the call before they could reply.

It had been a while since he last saw Khloe.

Nick thought of that night—when Khloe had promised to come dance, but he had waited and waited, and she never appeared. Later, he called, but she didn't answer.

In the whirlwind of his own obligations, the gift he'd set aside for her was forgotten, and with it, the memory of that night.

He opened his phone. Their message history was a blank slate for the past two days. After a moment's hesitation, he finally tapped her name and pressed call.

…

At that exact moment, Khloe was striding through the Morrison Group headquarters.

Five young women followed in her wake, their careers at Fox Group freshly severed. When they looked up, the polished brass letters spel

    Time passed in tense silence, and Ethan's patience for the spectacle had finally run thin. He sighed, the corner of his eyes flickering with mockery."Don't worry. They'll be here soon." Khloe glanced at the clock, expression unreadable, and replied coolly. No sooner had her words left her lips than the conference room doors swung open.Ethan stiffened instantly.Among the seven core shareholders, there was no question about him, Clarice, or Khloe. The other four were staunch supporters of Clarice, utterly unlikely to appear voluntarily. Yet now, two of those four strode in, suits crisp, steps brisk, faces ashen, and without daring to glance at Ethan, seated themselves beside Khloe.Ethan pressed his hands against the table, heart pounding, utterly bewildered. What was happening?As soon as the news of shareholders' attendance spread, the rest of the senior management flooded in within five minutes. The conference room filled rapidly, buzzing with a nervous, almost desperate ener

    "Nick…" Khloe started to explain about Trey, but Nick spoke first."About your personal affairs… I won't ask, and I won't interfere," he said. "But we are engaged now. I trust you'll take care of whatever's left in the past."No interrogation, no demand for details—just quiet composure. It made a small ache rise in Khloe's chest.She'd thought, given who he was, that he might care about her history, might press her for explanations. But he didn't ask a single thing."I… I'll handle it soon. You have my word," she said earnestly.In that moment, she realized that he truly regarded their engagement with sincerity—that even in his restraint, there was respect.Nick gave a faint nod, though something unnameable flickered across his mind. He had, of course, looked into her past. Six years with a man wasn't a short time. Did she still have lingering feelings for Trey?He tamped down the irritation that threatened to surface and said simply, "If you need help, don't hesitate to ask."

    Khloe nodded. She remembered that Nick didn't like sweets. Ahe asked if he could handle spicy food.When he paused for a second, she understood immediately. "All right," she said softly. "No sweets, no spice for Nick.""A little is fine," Nick replied. He wasn't picky, though he rarely ate anything with a strong flavor.Khloe didn't press further. She tied an apron around her waist and began to cook.The kitchen was semi-open, so her every movement was visible from where he sat. Her quiet focus and the way she moved seemed to draw his gaze, and he found he couldn't look away.For the first time, he began to understand why his grandparents—those two old, persistent matchmakers—kept worrying about his marriage.In a family like the Hunts, affection was always secondary to profit. His parents had separated before he was even born. Only his grandparents had truly loved each other, sharing nearly a lifetime together.'A person who knows when you're cold or tired, someone who stays by

    As Khloe spoke, she noticed the maid who had just been tending to Loretta sneaking glances at them from the corner.She shot Nick a quick look. He caught it in his peripheral vision but didn't need to turn—he already knew what it meant."My family's always like this," Nick said lightly. "You'll get used to it. Next time, if it's inconvenient, you can just say no."Khloe shook her head. "Actually, I wanted to see you today. I've secured the Morrison project, and your help played a big part in that. I really do want to thank you properly.""It was nothing," Nick said softly. "You don't need to thank me.""It's not just courtesy," she said with a small smile. "I mean it. I really want to do something for you. Let me think—how should I thank you?"Her words trailed off, almost like she was talking to herself. Nick wasn't someone who lacked anything, and for a moment, she truly couldn't think of what would be meaningful."Thank me?" Nick repeated. He hadn't expected her to say that.

    Khloe hadn't expected Nick to return so soon. The moment she saw him, her face flushed."Nick… you're back?"But Loretta had clearly said he'd be working late tonight."I heard it was serious," Nick said. His tone was cool, but the concern underneath was unmistakable. "How are you feeling now?"He crossed the room in quick strides, his sharp eyes scanning his grandmother from head to toe. Loretta immediately let go of Khloe's hand, her face glowing with healthy color—nothing like the frail voice she'd used on the phone, insisting she could barely move and didn't want to go to the hospital, demanding he return right away."Well… it was quite bad earlier," Loretta said, coughing lightly, "but after Khloe stayed with me all evening, I feel much better. Everywhere."Her eyes darted toward Khloe with a touch of guilt before she turned to her grandson. "Nick, you have to thank Khloe properly. She even pushed off work just to come take care of me."Nick didn't reply right away.At

    "I heard your engagement party went quite well," Ethan said, "Nick must be very pleased with you, huh?"It was only a few words, but every one of them carried an edge.There was an ongoing investment project involving the Hunt Group.What Ethan was really saying was clear enough—Khloe had gotten ahead thanks to Nick.Maybe she hadn't relied on the Morrison Group, but if she was leaning on Nick, it still looked bad. Even if that didn't technically break the profit-sharing agreement, people would talk. No one knew whether Nick had simply invested a sum—or had been helping her all along."Ethan," Khloe said evenly, "I led my own team and cleaned up your mess fair and square. Not only did I not get a word of thanks, now you're questioning my competence? That's disheartening. Why don't you call Nick and ask him yourself—see whether he invested in the project or in me."Her calm, deliberate words stripped away the polished veneer of his sarcasm, leaving him momentarily embarrassed.Et
