Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 109

Chapter 109

When Angela had first met Trey, he was still a young man-but already remarkably mature and charismatic. He was meticulous in everything he did, and his emotions were always under control.

Getting drunk in a restaurant like this was completely out of character. He would never have allowed himself to behave so disgracefully.

Tears were faintly visible on his face, evidence that he was nearing his breaking point over everything between them…

The more Angela thought about it, the more her heart ached. With the help of the staff, she quickly got him into the car.

Seeing him lying lifeless in the passenger seat, she furrowed her brows and traced the line of his cheek.

Just as she leaned forward to press a gentle kiss to his lips, she suddenly heard Trey whisper, “Khloe… Don’t do this to me…”

He gripped her hand tightly and pulled her into his arms-but the name he kept calling was Khloe!

Angela’s eyes widened, and it felt as though a sword had pierced her heart. The pain was unbearable.

She stared at the last call on her phone. Two and a half hours earlier, Nick had called to say an emergency had come up and he would be late.

The waiter approached apologetically. “Miss, I’m very sorry… it’s past closing time.”

Khloe glanced up. It was already 11:30 p.m. Many of the city lights outside had gone out.

“Fine. I’ll leave now,” she said, nodding. After a moment, she decided to call Nick-but the call went unanswered.

Was she being stood up?

Looking at the gifts she had set aside, she felt a pang of disappointment.

They were only tied by a contractual relationship. If Nick truly had something more important, it was reasonable that he’d cancel at the last minute.

Perhaps, because it was Valentine’s day, she had allowed herself a small, inexplicable hope.

Khloe returned home at exactly midnight. Her stomach grumbled. She was about to make herself a quick meal when her phone rang.

She answered. Nick’s voice came through, urgent. “Are you home? I saw the restaurant had closed.”

“Didn’t I message you that I went home first?” Khloe said, surprised. She hadn’t expected him to head there at

this hour.

“…I didn’t see the message. I’m at your door now.” His voice was ragged, as if he had just endured strenuous exertion-far from his usual calm and composed tone.
