Michelle had only filmed a few shots of the staff and the nighttime mountain scenery, with Nick’s convoy appearing briefly as background. With her team assisting, the shoot wrapped up in under an hour.

By the time filming ended, night had fully fallen.

Just as Nick’s car was about to depart, Michelle knocked on the door.

Lenny rolled down the window and cast a glance at Nick in the back seat, who had his eyes closed in rest, then politely asked, “Miss Keller, may I help you?”

“My car’s full. Could I hitch a ride back to the hotel?” Michelle’s gaze flicked toward Nick. “Nick, while we’re heading back tonight, I can go over tomorrow’s schedule in the car. That way, we don’t need to discuss any further back in the hotel room.”

Hearing this, Nick finally opened his eyes and gestured for Lenny to let her in.

As the door opened, Michelle moved toward the seat beside Nick. He said coldly, “There’s space in the front.”

Nick was seated in a seven-seater business van; the rear seats were largely empty.

A flicker of embarrassment crossed Michelle’s face. She obediently moved to the front, thoughtfully leaving two empty seats between herself and Nick.

“Is this alright?” she asked.

Nick didn’t respond verbally. He merely made a hand gesture indicating she could begin.

The car glided along the winding mountain road. Inside, a single reading light cast a warm, muted glow. Michelle pulled out a tablet and began walking him through tomorrow’s schedule.

Nick mostly listened with his eyes closed, occasionally opening them to ask one or two concise questions at key points.

“…The last segment,” Michelle said, turning the tablet toward him to show a diagram. “Tomorrow morning, we’ve added a project-we’ll need to shoot the mountain observation deck around midnight…”

The car swerved as she spoke, and her body jolted; the tablet nearly slipped from her hands. Michelle saw Nick instinctively lift an arm, expecting him to steady her. Instead, he leaned back, folding his arms as if to shield himself-even against the chance she might brush him across the seat gap.

“We’ll follow your arrangements. Wrap up as early as possible,” Nick said, his voice flat and calm.

Michelle nodded, putting the tablet away. Once the discussion ended, only silence remained between them.

Her gaze drifted to the window, lost in the impenetrable darkness outside, fingers curling into a fist.

Late that night, the car arrived at the hotel.

Lenny stepped out to open the door for Michelle. Though there was only one decent hotel near the mountains, Nick had arranged for them to stay in separate wings.

Just as Nick turned to leave, Michelle spoke abruptly. “Nick… have you ever told Khloe the truth about yourself?”

Nick’s steps froze. The night stretched his silhouette long and cold.

Michelle hurried to stand in front of him. Lenny reached out instinctively. “Miss Keller…”

“It was my fault back then. I didn’t fully trust our bond and wavered. But now I know-I love you, and I accept everything about you.

“But Khloe is different from me. If she knew the truth… do you think she’d still stay by your side?”
