Chapter 176 Khloe hurriedly lowered her gaze, afraid her tears would betray her. "You've done so much for me... I don't even know what I can do for you." Hearing her, Nick finally relaxed slightly. "Don't worry. If there's something you can do for me, I'll let you know." His words weren't so much a comfort as a statement-direct, unpretentious. Khloe couldn't help but let out a soft laugh. She subtly turned her head again, stealing a glance at him. The morning light traced the sharp lines of his profile.
His jaw was slightly tense, his expression as cold and composed as ever-but beneath that coldness, she felt a heat that could melt anyone. The car glided smoothly to the base of the Morrison Group building. Nick leaned over to unbuckle her seatbelt, his low voice brushing against her ear again. "Wait for me after work. I'll pick you up." "Okay." Watching her disappear into the building, Nick finally picked up his phone, Several missed calls and urgent reports had accumulated.

He clipped on a Bluetooth headset, smoothly turned the car toward the Hunt Group building, and answered the first call. For once, his voice lacked its usual intensity and icy undertone. He even started with an almost unthinkable," Sorry." The person on the other end was immediately flustered, touched to the point of tears. Had the sun risen in the west today? Nick had... softened. Khloe's mood reflected the same warmth. After arriving at Morrison Group, she treated the entire staff to milk tea, held a meeting with her five-member team, and later indulged in a Michelin-star lunch.
After the meal, Charlotte asked sharply, "Khloe, did something good happen today? You've been so cheerful all morning!" "Really?" Khloe blinked in surprise and touched her face. Her happiness... was it that obvious? Charlotte pointed at her lips. "Your smile hasn't stopped from the moment you got here." "Exactly! Khloe, what's gotten you so happy? Is it... something with Mr. Hunt?" The others immediately chimed in, teasing. Khloe's face flushed crimson. "N-no... stop talking nonsense." "I think it makes sense. Something good must be happening-this morning I saw Mr.
Hunt personally bringing you to work!" "Really? No wonder you've been glowing lately! So this is what love looks like..." 1/2 Chapter 176 +25 Bonus "When's the wedding? When's the banquet?" One by one, the teasing questions came. Khloe didn't even have time to answer. Flustered, she grabbed her bag and muttered, "I'll go pay first," before dashing off. Still, their words stirred something inside her. Her progress with Nick had been going smoothly. Though technically a political marriage, their interactions now felt more like a couple in the throes of a new romance. But a wedding license...
surely that would require a proposal first? Nick hadn't said a word yet. By late afternoon, with over two hours left until the end of the workday, Khloe had already begun tidying her desk and touching up her makeup. Nick was supposed to pick her up soon, and he had even sent a message earlier saying he'd booked a restaurant for dinner. "Miss Roswell, a Miss Keller is here to see you." As Khloe carefully applied her lipstick, her assistant knocked and entered. A partner had brought a major project, specifically requesting to meet with her. "Miss Keller?" Khloe looked up in surprise.
"What's her full name?" "Michelle Keller," the assistant replied, handing over a business card. 2/2 Cedella Cedella is a passionate storyteller known for her bold romantic and spicy novels that keep readers hooked from the very first chapter.
