Novel & Cerita Knox Overstreet

This is a lot. “Thank you.” Knox says smiling at them. His smile immediately disarms them and they smile to. “That wasn’t really a compliment.” Lisa says walking into the kitchen. “I always take it as a compliment. I think my height is my best feature.” He says looking at me for confirmation. “Girls this is Knox and old friend and this is his sister Olive.” I say ignoring him. “You’re pretty.” Lisa says to Olive when I finish making the introductions. “So she’s pretty and I’m tall. That says a lot.” Knox says and all three of the girls laugh at him. They excuse themselves and leave the two of us alone in the kitchen.

But Vanguard Holdings got to be kidding me. “They want a video call instead instead of face to face? Who do they really think they are?” I turned around heading to the bedroom and forgot how to breathe. Knox stepped out of the bathroom with steam rolling behind him. Water dripped from his hair, trailing down the strong lines of his shoulders, his chest, all the way to the single towel hanging dangerously low on his hips. My brain short-circuited. I’d seen him shirtless before—wolves shift naked, but this… this felt different.

My bangs fall over my forehead neatly and my hair is wrapped in the usual tight bun. I barely recognize myself without my glasses and usual oversized hoodie. “Wow,” Maya says from the doorway. “He's going to lose his mind when he sees you.” If only she knew. I grab my phone and small purse. “How do I look?” “Like you're about to break some poor guy's heart.” She smiles. “Go get him, Cass.” I slip out of the apartment before she can ask more questions. Knox is leaning against his car, scrolling through his phone. He's wearing dark jeans and a fitted black shirt that shows off his athletic build. His dark-brown hair is slightly messy and even that makes him more attractive.

he repeated, bracing himself. “And?” I pressed, crossing my arms tightly over my apron. “And Cain notices exactly three things in this world,” Knox explained. I folded my arms even tighter against the chill. “Which are?” “One… Trouble,” Knox stated flatly. Tess nodded in absolute agreement from her station. “Two… Food,” she added. “And three… People he genuinely cares about,” Knox finished quietly, his eyes holding mine. The heavy words sent a sudden wave of heat straight beneath my skin, but before I formed a coherent response, a sudden movement near the main entrance pulled everyone's attention toward the front of the dark room.

Snow is currently out of town, and I do not have neighbors who knock calmly at my door like that. “I'll get the door,” I tell Liam, stuffing some popcorn into my mouth. I stall to the door, and peeped. I gulp. It's him. Of course it's him. Knox. He's dressed in a jean and shirt that's slightly rolled up, giving him this gangster look. His men got to him, and he showed up faster than I expected. I pull the door open and roll my eyes. “What are you doing here?” I say.

“You should be ready to order by now.” Knox leans back in his chair, smirking like he’s settling in for a game. “I could speed things up, but I need something in return.” Greg sighs, already tired of his bullshit. “And what’s that?” Knox points directly at me. “Her. I want her on break. She joins me for lunch, I’ll place an order and be out of your way when I’m done.” Greg’s eyes flick to me, narrowing slightly. “Do you know this man?”

Kole says. I blink. “Why?” “Knox said the first one felt too good, so he bought more.” I snort. “Too much damn money to waste.” Knox walks in holding baby London, passed out cold. “What y’all doing?” he asks. “Feeding the baby,” I say, blanket draped over me. He grins. “This one’s done.” He gently lays London down. “She heavy.” Kole stands. “Let me talk to you, bro.”

“What am I missing?” Knox yawned loudly. “Second line…” He squinted. “…replace the zero with a lowercase O.” I narrowed my eyes. “That simple?” Knox shrugged drunkenly. “Technology hates people who overthink.” I turned back toward the screen. Typed exactly what he said and pressed enter. The search loaded instantly. There was no error. My brows lifted. I turned around fully this time. Knox stood there grinning lazily, shoulders lifting in a proud shrug like he had just performed a miracle.

Mr Knox laughed at his own words. "Beautiful as ever, Melanie." Ridley took the woman's hand and lightly kissed the back of it, causing her rigid, pulled-up cheeks to blush lightly. If I were in any other set-up, I would have laughed at the ridiculousness of it. Ridley pulled me to his side. "This is Janelle, my date and one of the wonderful minds in my department." He introduced me with a charming smile. "Janelle, this is Mr William Knox and his lovely wife, Melanie. Mr Knox is one of the largest shareholders of Stetson Hotel and owns one of the most successful investment companies in the country."
