Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 300

Chapter 300

Khloe knew Nick would never go an entire day without contacting her.

Feeling helpless, she tried calling Lenny repeatedly. Several calls went unanswered. An hour later, a message finally arrived from him.

Lenny: [Sorry, Miss Roswell. I was busy just now. Mr. Hunt has been tied up with some matters and cannot return yet, nor can he contact you. Once he is free, I will have him call you personally.]

Even with Lenny’s reply, the tight knot of worry in Khloe’s brow did not ease.

Something was wrong. Nick had promised he would return today. Even if delayed, he should have called her himself. Could something serious have happened-something that kept him from even sending a word?

Staring at the ten calls and multiple messages she had sent him, her unease only deepened.

She tried messaging Lenny again, but received no response. If it were truly an urgent matter, pressing him further would only be intrusive.

But still… her heart refused to settle.

Khloe spent the entire night overthinking, barely sleeping.

Before dawn, she woke and instinctively checked her phone for a reply. But the conversation with Nick still displayed her unanswered messages.

Torn and anxious, she waited until exactly eight o’clock before calling Lenny again.

Still no answer.

It wasn’t until she arrived at the Morrison Group building that morning that Lenny sent another message, nearly identical to the one from last night.

Her patience snapped. She dialed his number directly. The call rang for what felt like an eternity before he finally picked up.

His voice was low, almost hesitant, as if trying to shrink away from her. “Miss Roswell…”

“Where’s Nick?” Khloe’s voice carried a mix of irritation and worry. “Why has he suddenly stopped replying? Has something happened?”

Even the busiest person could at least send a quick message to reassure her, right?

“He…” Lenny hesitated. “He has been in emergency meetings non-stop since yesterday. His phone… was broken yesterday. I’ll have him return your call later. Miss Roswell, please don’t worry.”

Khloe felt something odd in his tone. “Broken…?”

She wasn’t sure if it was just her imagination, but Lenny’s voice seemed to tremble, as if he was afraid to speak to her too long.

“Yes. I’m… currently hosting guests for him. I have to go. Miss Roswell, please don’t worry. I’m sure Mr. Hunt will contact you soon…”

“Lenny…” Khloe hesitated, about to say something more, but Lenny had already hung up.

Seeing that the call had lasted less than a minute, her confusion peaked. Was she being too insecure?

As she arrived at the Morrison Group office, a notification popped up in her small five-person chat group.

It was an entertainment news article, with someone tagging her.

[Khloe, isn’t this Nick?]

[Looks like Nick… but isn’t the woman next to him the one from the engagement banquet?]
