Chapter 215 "What a coincidence." Seeing Ethan, Khloe instinctively drew Charlotte slightly behind her. "Ethan, why are you coming in so late today?" Normally, Ethan was like a live wire-always in the office before anyone else showed up. Khloe prided herself on being a workaholic, yet even she had to admit she wasn't on his level. "Can't help it... had to play hero and save a damsel." Ethan's words carried an ambiguous tone, a faint smile dancing in his eyes. He glanced at Charlotte, head bowed, standing behind Khloe, but Charlotte didn't look at him, keeping her gaze lowered.
His eyes passed over her quickly. "Looks like you had a little adventure last night," Khloe said, puzzled by his remark. She had no idea what he meant, though she remembered Oscar mentioning that Ethan's personal life was rather ... chaotic. Women came and went quickly, with no style left untried. And right now, Ethan was disheveled-just an open-collared shirt, no tie, no jacket. He looked exactly like someone who had just staggered out of a nightclub after an all-night party.
"If I want an adventure, I might have to pick up some tips from you, Khloe," he said, his glance flicking deliberately at Charlotte. Khloe furrowed her brows, confused. "Pick up tips... from me?" "Khloe, are you heading to lunch now?" Charlotte suddenly grabbed Khloe's arm, as if startled. Khloe noticed Charlotte's complexion-it was deathly pale. "Charlotte, you don't look well.

Are you feeling okay?" Ethan snorted and, not waiting for Charlotte to fumble for an answer, said, "I've got something else to take care of, so I'll be leaving first." "Oh, right." He had only taken a couple of steps before glancing back. His eyes met Charlotte's, and she quickly looked away. Ethan, however, smiled brazenly, "The Kellers' project is signed-quarterly key project. There's a dinner tonight with their executives. Khloe, you absolutely must attend." Without waiting for her reply, he turned and left.
Because of Michelle, Khloe had initially planned to avoid any involvement with the Keller family project. But the project was high-level and specialized, and her team was the company's top group for that type of data. In the morning meeting at Morrison Group, the cllent specifically requested Khloe's team. Professionally, she couldn't refuse. 1/2 Chapter 215 +25 Bonus Personally, though, Khloe wanted to minimize any contact with Michelle. "Khloe... are you really going to handle the Kellers' project? Can't you decline?" Charlotte asked as Ethan walked away.
Khloe's voice carried a trace of helplessness. "I can't refuse. The project is too high-profile, and they specifically requested us. Professionally, I have no reason to say no, and Morrison Group wouldn't cancel such a prime downstream partnership." Seeing Charlotte's concern, Khloe softened her tone. "Don't worry. I'll avoid private interactions with Michelle as much as possible. I won't give her an opening." "But I just feel... that Michelle won't be that easy to handle." "We can't avoid her completely. I can't sidestep every time." Charlotte's face remained worried.
"In that case, for the dinner tonight... I'll go with you." "Okay." Khloe nodded. That afternoon, at the Fox family estate. Stella had just woken from her nap and summoned a servant to fetch the nutritious drink she had prepared when she heard the sound of Angela and Pete running around downstairs.
