Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 102

Chapter 102

“All right, I promise you, alright?” Trey forced a small smile.

He didn’t dare tell Angela that Khloe’s return to the company was inevitable. Arthur had issued a final ultimatum: by any means necessary, Khloe had to come back and clean up the mess at the Fox Group.

To secure fifty percent of the shares, they would need to transfer the stakes held by his mother and Alicia to Khloe. He had quietly handled all of that behind their backs. Today was the deadline. After spending time with Angela, he planned to confront Khloe.

But for now, this was their time together. Trey wanted to push all worries aside. After all, once Khloe returned, everything would eventually fall back into place, and he could always find a way to make her return the shares to him.

Arriving at the mall, Angela’s mood lifted considerably. Linking her arm through his, she browsed from handbags to jewelry.

In less than an hour, they had spent a few hundred thousand dollars.

Looking down at the sparkling diamond bracelet on her wrist, she nestled happily against him. “Trey, thank you. I feel so much better now. You’ve spent so much on me… and you didn’t even flinch…”

“Of course. My money is all for you,” Trey said, stroking her delicate, fair wrist. His thoughts drifted back to shopping trips with Khloe.

Even when he let Khloe pick gifts freely, she had never chosen anything costing more than a few hundred dollars over the years. The most expensive items she owned were likely bought with her own savings. She hated spending his money, always saying the company was still growing and that he should save in case of emergencies.

“Hey, I really like that brand over there. Let’s go check it out,” Angela said, her eyes.lighting up. She had spotted a famous jewelry store, a royal-brand boutique, where even small pieces could cost a few hundred thousand dollars.

“All right,” Trey nodded. Although he thought they had already spent enough today, Angela was still enthusiastic, and he didn’t want to dampen her mood.

Inside the store, Khloe was browsing. She had just picked out a pair of sapphire cufflinks and was paying for them.

The design was unique, a one-of-a-kind piece that couldn’t be found anywhere else. She had immediately taken a liking to it. The deep, ocean-blue hue perfectly matched Nick’s solemn temperament and noble aura. Thinking of him wearing these cufflinks, she hadn’t even glanced at the price.

“Miss, your purchase has been wrapped.”

“Thank you.”

Khloe picked up the elegant branded shopping bag and rose from her seat-only to nearly collide with Trey and Angela, who were walking in arm-in-arm.

The three froze, standing less than half a meter apart.

Khloe quickly regained her composure. Her gaze fell on their tightly clasped hands. Instinctively, Trey pushed Angela slightly aside.

“Khloe… what are you doing here?” he asked, feigning calm as he stepped forward, though his voice betrayed a trace of nervousness, and his face had paled noticeably.

“Shouldn’t I be asking you that?” Khloe raised an eyebrow, her tone casual yet cutting. “Out on a little date with Angela during work hours?”

“You’ve misunderstood. We’re not-“Trey avoided her gaze, awkwardly rubbing his nose. “We just… happened to run into each other.”
