Billionaire's match novel

---- Chapter 153 Nick: [Are you up yet? | left breakfast at your door. Don't forget to take it] The moment Khloe saw the message, she opened her door. Sure enough, a black, round thermal container sat outside. Inside were all kinds of food and several drinks. Everything was packed in the insulated containers from his home. It looked very much like something specially prepared by Nick's personal chef. Warmth spread through Khloe's chest. She replied at once: [Got it, thank you.

Have you eaten breakfast?) There was so much more she wanted to ask-why he hadn't stayed the night, whether he was busy today. But after typing for a long time, she ended up sending only that. Nick replied quickly: [I've eaten. I'm a bit busy right now. Let's talk later.) Seeing his message, Khloe could only delete the long paragraph she'd typed out. She sent back a simple [Okay], along with a small emoji ---- Nick set his phone down, then turned to look at the woman who had barged into his office. "Michelle, the rules here at the Hunt Group are clear.

You're not allowed to see me without an appointment. If you do this again, I'll reconsider all cooperation with your family." His voice was icy. He leaned back in his chair as he spoke, not even bothering to spare her another glance. Michelle's eyes were red. Lenny and the bodyguards stood nearby, unsure whether they should forcibly escort her out. The Keller and Hunt families were currently collaborating on a project, so Michelle had access to the Hunt Group office building. By rights, they were acquaintances.

In the past, when Michelle had urgent matters and couldn't reach Nick, she had come straight to his office. His reactions back then had always been indifferent, never harsh. Because of that, Nick's people had always treated her politely. "Nick, why did you block me? Why are you being so heartless? What did | do wrong?" Michelle demanded, unable to understand. "The way she treats you-can't you see what kind of woman she is?" Last night, she had sent Nick several messages.

When she ---- checked this morning, she discovered she'd been blocked "Shut up." Nick snapped He lifted his gaze suddenly, the cold scrutiny in his eyes so sharp that Michelle felt a chill run through her whole body. She had never seen him glare at her like this before. Her heart sank. "Everyone out." Only after Nick gave the order did Lenny lead the others out of the office When the door closed and only the two of them remained, Nick spoke again. "Who gave you permission to have someone follow her?" Michelle had hired people to take photos of Khloe and Trey.

The moment she sent them to him last night, he had threatened to end the cooperation with the Keller family and ordered her to delete everything immediately. "So you know she's involved with another man?" Michelle shot back. "Nick, even if you've been hurt before, you shouldn't be this undiscriminating!" She finally lost control, speaking in a rush, her words careless and sharp. ---- Before she could finish, the pen on his desk was flung violently away, startling her so badly that she jolted. Nick had been raised with strict discipline.

Even when furious, he had never vented his anger openly-especially not in such a rough manner, and certainly not toward her. Michelle's eyes instantly welled up. "Nick, is it really necessary to treat me like this over a woman you've only known for such a short time?" "Michelle, listen carefully." Nick's voice was cold and steady. " She is my fiancée. This time, for the sake of the past kindness your family once showed me, | won't pursue the matter. But if | hear anyone slander her even once, | will not be merciful." He stared at her, as if delivering a final warning.

"The same goes for you and your family. If you think you can't accept this, then there's no need for any further dealings between our two families."
