Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 270

Chapter 270

In the quiet VIP lounge of the airport, Nick was waiting.

He glanced down at the project report for the trip, but his mind kept drifting back to Khloe’s gaze as she left.

“What time is it?” he asked, setting his phone aside and turning to Lenny.

“Nine o’clock,” Lenny replied, checking the time. Noticing the subtle implication behind Nick’s question, he added, “They should be arriving soon.”

This time, the Hunt Group had secured a high-profile national project.

The project site was in a remote area along the southwestern border, where the mountain ranges of two countries met. Co-funded by both nations, it had taken Hunt Group three years of negotiations to win the contract. Nick’s trip was to officially launch the project.

What made this project unique was its dual purpose: commercial development and public welfare. Each country would appoint a “public welfare representative” to document the entire launch process, promote bilateral friendship, and contribute to improving the quality of life for local mountain communities.

Nick had been informed on short notice, and the representatives were already in the city, ready to travel with him from the start, both to document the journey and conduct interviews for Hunt Group’s promotional materials.

Originally, he planned for Lenny to pick them up, but the representative’s assistant declined, only confirming the time and location, assuring they would arrive punctually.

As soon as Lenny finished speaking, the VIP lounge door opened. Michelle was escorted in by the staff.

Nick’s eyes flickered with a brief, almost imperceptible surprise, though he quickly returned to his usual calm, unfathomable expression. He hadn’t expected Michelle to be the public welfare representative this time.

But given the Keller family background, securing such a position wasn’t difficult. He recalled that Michelle’s grandfather had once been sent abroad alone to Felanche as a construction representative-for ten years.

With the project co-funded by Felanche, having someone from the Keller family was appropriate. It aligned well with the diplomatic spirit of the initiative.

“Nick, I’ll be serving as the project’s public welfare representative. I hope we’ll have a good time working together,” Michelle said, extending her hand with ease. She remained unflustered, breaking the ice smoothly, her tone purely professional, without a hint of personal emotion.

Nick scanned her briefly but did not take her hand. After a moment, he spoke. “Michelle, your health has only just recovered. This will be a demanding trip-it may not be suitable for you to come.”

Michelle smiled lightly. “I know what you’re worried about. Don’t worry-I’m here for the work. As for what happened between us, I already told you in the hospital. I hope you won’t continue to see me that way.”

Lenny, standing nearby, was tense enough to nearly hyperventilate.

Previously, when Michelle had been hospitalized after a suicide attempt, Nick had deliberately avoided her entirely, wanting to maintain distance. But the Keller family-and Michelle herself-was not to be
