Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 268

Chapter 268

Ethan’s tone was unusually soft as he spoke, patting HR lightly on the shoulder. She nearly went weak at the knees, barely able to stay standing.

Why did it have to be her handling this mess? Truly, she’d drawn the short straw.

“I-I didn’t mean anything by it, Mr. Morrison… Actually, I think this is just a misunderstanding. Since you apologized, shouldn’t it be considered resolved…?”

“Handle it however you see fit.” Ethan cut her off, the unreadable smile in his eyes sending shivers down her spine.

That evening, Khloe finished up work at Morrison Group ahead of schedule and drove Nick to the airport.

He was leaving for a week-long trip tonight. It would’ve been convenient for him to take a private jet alone, without making Khloe come along-but she insisted. After all, they wouldn’t see each other for an entire week, and she wanted a little more time together.

Her presence, however, seemed to dampen Nick’s mood.

They shared a quick meal in the airport restaurant, and Khloe, mindful of the schedule, reminded him it was time to leave.

Nick gazed at her for a long moment before lifting her hand, admiring the dazzling diamond ring on her finger. ” I should go now?”

“Mhm. Time to go, or we’ll get stuck in traffic,” Khloe said, her mind already running through his travel arrangements. She hadn’t noticed the weight of his emotions. After speaking, she double-checked the supplies she’d packed for him-medications, supplements, and travel necessities.

She knew Lenny had probably already taken care of everything, but preparing them herself carried a different meaning. Last time, Nick had fallen ill from overwork, and Khloe knew his throat was sensitive. This time, she’d packed a special set of remedies for his throat, along with some high-quality health drinks and supplements.

“How’s everything at your company?” Nick asked, breaking into her thoughts as he watched her fuss over him.

“With your backing, it was a minor issue,” Khloe replied, lifting her head. The city’s neon lights reflected softly across her cheeks. “You wouldn’t believe how awful Ethan looked today-I doubt he’ll dare act up again anytime soon.”

“And the Fox Group’s core data is in my hands. They’re full of gaps. The authorities are investigating them now; there’s zero chance of them going public. Anyone who invested is going to lose big.”

Nick wasn’t one to pry into others’ affairs; he’d grown up focusing on himself, often finding other people’s chatter irritating. Yet, he loved seeing Khloe happy. He wanted to hear every detail of her day, every nuance of her stories.

Realizing she might be talking too much, Khloe noticed him staring at her intently and immediately felt self- conscious.

“Nick, do you think I hold grudges too much?”

“No,” he said, entwining his fingers with hers and gently pulling her forward, pressing his lips lightly to her forehead.

“If I handle things my way,” he murmured, tracing the soft skin of her hand with his fingertip, his voice calm but commanding, “they won’t even have a chance to regret it. So do whatever you want. If the sky falls, I’ve got your back.”
