Billionaire's match novel

Chapter 62 +25 Bonus "Dinner works too," Nick said. He actually only had time at noon; dinner meant he would have to cancel an engagernent. "I can't do dinner either," Khloe said awkwardly. She had a meeting with investors scheduled for later that night. "I see. Then, when will you be free?" Nick's voice was calm, almost detached, but his fingers resting on the desk twitched slightly, curling inward. "I'm not sure... maybe in a week. I'll contact you then?" Khloe had barely finished her words when someone called her over about some data. She answered immediately. "Sorry, Mr. Hunt.

I'm a bit busy-have to hang up.' "Khloe..." Before he could say any more, the line went dead. For a moment, he was frozen. It was the first time someone had ever hung up on him. Was she really busy-or just making an excuse? His expression darkened. He immediately called Lenny into the office. "Find out what's going on at the Morrison Group. Why is she so busy?" His tone was sharp, not the usual calm demeanor he carried. Lenny felt a jolt of tension. Nick's temperament was usually steady and icy. Lenny had never seen him show such a clear sign of displeasure.

When he had entered the office earlier, he had been in a good mood... what changed so suddenly? "Sir, nothing major has happened at the Morrison Group recently. Are you asking about Miss Roswell's schedule? "Lenny replied quickly. Khloe was the only connection he could think of at the mention of the Morrison Group. Nick said nothing, his gaze fixed on the desk. The room suddenly felt colder. Lenny straightened. "I've been tracking Miss Roswell's movements. I heard she's having trouble consolidating power there and is currently...

meeting with investors." "Investors?" Nick's eyes flickered with interest. Lenny relayed everything he had learned. Khloe had recently been actively coordinating with various investors. The meeting tonight happened to be with a newly affiliated investment arm under the Hunt Group-yet to be announced publicly. "So... her evening is blocked because of an investor meeting," Nick murmured. Lenny hadn't caught the words clearly. "Sir... any instructions?" "Find out the location of Khloe's meeting. I'll rearrange my evening schedule." Nick's voice was calm, almost like he was handling routine work.

Night fell over the city. At the Veramuse Hotel downtown, Khloe had already endured several rounds of drinking at the table. Finally, she 1/2 Chapter 62 +25 Bonus excused herself and ran to the restroom to vomit. Raising funds meant entertaining clients-drinks were inevitable-but none of her five subordinates could handle alcohol. She had to go alone. Even if her team could drink, she couldn't let the girls suffer for her. "Khloe, that's enough... I think they're just trying to mess with you," a worried voice said. It was Charlotte Xander, who had come along.

Quick-witted and articulate, Charlotte usually accompanied Khloe on these investment meetings. But halfway through this evening, Charlotte was ready to bow out. The clients had demanded Khloe drink as much as necessary to secure funds, completely ignoring the actual proposals. Khloe suspected Ethan might have sent them to sabotage her efforts.. "I'm fine. I can handle it. Once I finish vomiting, I can still take a few more," Khloe said. With Charlotte's support, she stood and straightened herself.
