Billionaire's match novel

Chapter 280 +25 Bonus Before that, however, Khloe still needed to dilute the Fox family's shares completely. From now on, the Fox Group would be entirely separate from the Fox family, until they had nothing left. As Khloe walked out of Fox Group, she noticed many people watching her. Most of the gazes were tinged with caution and fear. Everyone had seen the news online. To outsiders, Trey was a scoundrel, but Khloe's revenge was equally formidable. Her actions affected the fates of everyone in the company.

Few had her ability or her ruthlessness, so naturally, most people felt afraid at the very thought of her. On the surface, Khloe appeared indifferent, but deep down, a complex swirl of emotions lingered. That evening, the moment Khloe returned home, she called Nick on a video call. She had been busy almost all day and had only reported to him in the morning that she couldn't do a call. Breaking their "three calls a day" routine made her feel slightly guilty. But when she dialed, Nick didn't answer immediately. Assuming he was still occupied, she went to make herself a bowl of instant noodles.

There was plenty of food at home, and Loretta often sent her gourmet meals, but she hadn't had instant noodles in a long time and had been craving them. Just as she finished preparing the noodles, Nick's video call came through. She answered right away, placing her phone on the kitchen counter stand and bringing her bowl over. On the screen, Nick appeared in his hotel, clearly having just returned. He held his phone in one hand, and she could hear Lenny's voice offscreen. He waved someone out to close the door before speaking. "Sorry, I was just in the elevator." "That's okay.

No need to rush. Just call me when you're back and settled," Khloe replied calmly. She leaned closer to the screen, suddenly curious. Nick's face filled the frame, the lighting harsh, yet every angle accentuated his features. Even the slight curve of his Adam's apple and the contour from jaw to neck exuded a sensuality like a male celebrity streaming live. "Why are you staring at me like that?" he asked, finally noticing her gaze as he settled at his desk and set the phone down. "Don't move," she said softly. Though her tone was playful, her large eyes were earnest.

"I'm checking if you've been working yourself to exhaustion... Are you tired?" She had told him countless times to rest and take care of himself. This wasn't idle chatter-she intended to monitor him. "I'm not tired," he replied with a light laugh, leaning closer to the screen so she could see his face clearly. Though separated by a screen, his warmth was unmistakable, and she could feel his rhythm-breath, heartbeat, the subtle intensity radiating from him. Khloe instinctively reached out, letting her fingertip brush near the corner of his eye.

Her touch met only the cold screen, yet it felt as if she could feel the warmth of his skin. 1/2 Chapter 280 +25 Bonus Nick's heart stirred. The urge to be with her, to pull her into his arms, rose suddenly, sharply. "Khloe..." he whispered. "You look fine. Not too tired. Lenny must have made sure you rested," she said, her gaze softening. Her words carried a subtle trace of worry, almost imperceptible, but it was there. She knew he had pushed himself hard, returning to the hotel only after ten o'clock. If he hadn't had unfinished work, he would have called her first.
