Billionaire's match novel

Chapter 366 Khloe knew that sleep-talking meant nothing. But try as she might, she couldn't shake the unease. Her mind kept replaying it over and over. She wanted to move on, but the thoughts lingered longer than she expected. Yet, she couldn't bring herself to tell Nick that she was upset. She knew exactly how he would react: worry, guilt, endless apologies. And besides... even if he truly still held a place for Michelle in his heart, he wouldn't admit it out loud, right? Khloe hesitated for a long while, then finally rose to gather her things, preparing to leave.

As she pushed open the office door, she saw Winnie standing in the doorway. She had no idea how long Winnie had been there; in the darkness, she hadn't been visible at all. As Khloe stepped into the hallway, the lights automatically flicked on. Winnie shuffled forward a couple of steps, looking uneasy. "You're still here? How was your first day? Did everything go smoothly?" Khloe asked as she approached, her tone genuinely concerned. Winnie nodded. "You arranged everything. Of course, it went smoothly. Everyone was nice." "There will be training anyway, so take your time.

No rush," Khloe said casually to reassure her. Then she added, "Shall we go together?" Winnie gave a soft "Mm", then fell into step beside Khloe. The two of them rode the elevator in silence. Most people had already left for the day, and although their offices were on different floors, Winnie had specifically come to find Khloe. Khloe said nothing the entire way. Winnie didn't like being too close to others, and Khloe's own mood was heavy. Perhaps it was because she had been browsing news about Michelle earlier, her phone buzzed with a news alert.

Michelle's live broadcast from before leaving the country had gone viral. She had publicly announced that she was leaving for Felanche to participate in a children's charity project. The conditions there were harsh, and the work would be grueling. Michelle didn't know when she would return. She also mentioned that her live streams would be paused for a while. Fans quickly flooded social media with concern and messages of support. Previously, the rumors Nick had stirred had affected her reputation.

Many fans demanded clarification, and some even speculated that she had once interfered in someone else's relationship. 1/2 Chapter 306 +25 Bonus Michelle hadn't responded to the criticism, but now she simply released a new work update. Her actions spoke louder than words, instantly regaining the goodwill of her followers. Her morning broadcast had even attracted casual viewers. Nowadays, netizens focused more on deeds than gossip. No matter how convoluted her romantic rumors were, as long as she continued her charity work, support naturally followed.

Seeing the news, Khloe couldn't help but think of Nick. Michelle had left the country early that morning. Could Nick's gloom last night have been related? Had he known? The elevator doors opened, and Winnie suddenly spoke. "Khloe, I know a nice bar nearby. Want to grab a drink with me?" Khloe hesitated before answering, "A drink? Now? What's with the sudden invite?" Hadn't Winnie claimed she didn't want to get too close? "I want a drink. And since I started my job today because of you, I want to thank you," Winnie said.

Seeing the crease between Khloe's brows, as if she seemed ready to refuse, Winnie quickly changed tack. "You look like you're in a bad mood, too-working late alone, did you have a fight with your husband?" Her words weren't delicate; they were sharp enough to sting. But Winnie didn't intend to provoke Khloe. She wasn't good at making friends, and usually spoke plainly. "No, just a bit tired from work," Khloe replied, forcing a faint smile. "Then you should definitely relax a little. Shall we go?" Winnie asked. Khloe glanced at the time. It was already half past ten.
