Billionaire's match novel

Chapter 330 A stir went through Khloe's heart as Nick's voice grew softer, gentler, like silk brushing against her skin. "I'm not someone who casually entrusts my life to another, or repays a debt lightly," Nick said. Even though the words sounded teasing, the weight and seriousness in his tone made them feel solemn. Khloe's eyes flickered with curiosity as she studied the sharp contours of his face, waiting for him to continue. "I've actually seen you three times before." His palm lightly rested against her jaw, water clinging to his wrist, tracing the lines of his veins.

The sight was intoxicating, almost disorienting. "Really?" Khloe lifted her brow, surprised. "Mhm," he murmured, lowering his gaze. The first time was at the Hunt Group. Khloe had once been seeking investors for Trey's company, and she had visited the Hunt Group in person. Fox Group's credentials weren't strong, so to secure even the slightest chance for a meeting, she had spent an entire month outside Hunt Group's office. Every evening after the project managers left, she would appear promptly at the entrance.

Over time, Nick happened to pass through the corridor and caught glimpses of her figure. Her appearance was striking, and her repeated presence naturally aroused his curiosity. He asked about her once and learned she was just an ordinary employee at the Fox Group. Her persistence left an impression-she was clearly determined. Eventually, she earned a chance for a meeting. Though the final evaluation didn't pass, she had thanked everyone involved by offering each participant a cup of coffee. Nick remembered that day vividly-especially because Lenny had also grabbed a cup.

Khloe told Nick it was sugarless and politely asked if he wanted a cup too. Khloe couldn't help but laugh at the memory. "So that's when you first saw me? Did you think I was overestimating myself? Honestly, with my company's ability back then, it was nearly impossible to pull in your investment." "I just thought you were beautiful," Nick said suddenly. The sweetness in his tone made her feel like even the water dripping from her hair carried sugar. Khloe's face flushed. "You're not that kind of person." "A refined lady deserves a gentleman," Nick said softly, leaning closer.

"Don't think of me as overly serious." "Well then," Khloe replied, pretending to scold him while hiding a smile, "why didn't you help me?" "I did consider it," he said. "But by the time I thought to say hello, you'd already finished your meeting." He leaned even closer. "Had I known you were my future wife, I wouldn't have let you waste your time on a 1/2 Chapter 330 +25 Bonus mediocre company. If you wanted everything from me, you could have just asked." Though his answer had a teasing edge, it was, for all intents and purposes, perfect.

Khloe couldn't hold back her smile and lowered her head shyly. "That was the first time... what about the second?" "I thought you'd remember the second," Nick said. "Six months ago, there was a ribbon-cutting ceremony in the neighboring city. I saw you that day too." Confusion flickered across Khloe's eyes. Nick provided a few more details, and then it clicked. Yes, that project was a major city-level event. Many of Goldmont City's business elites had shown up for the banquet.

She had gone on Trey's behalf, hoping for an opportunity, but had spent most of the afternoon outside the hotel with no chance to enter. Later, when rain fell that evening, she had rushed to the hotel's back entrance to take shelter and accidentally bumped into someone. The light was dim. She only remembered a tall figure, his presence commanding, his scent refined and intoxicating. Their brief contact was interrupted by a bodyguard who quickly pushed her aside. Looking back, Khloe remembered Nick's entourage had been substantial.

She had even tried to glimpse the motorcade, trying to guess which high-ranking figure had arrived.
