Just then, Khloe’s phone rang, snapping her out of her spiraling thoughts. She answered with a few brief responses and headed straight into a meeting.
A new product developed by the Morrison Group was about to be launched in the coming days.
It was a drug that the R&D team had spent ten years developing and three years testing-an achievement forged from a decade of relentless effort and sacrifice. In the next few days, specialists would arrive to inspect and approve the results, and several international investors would come as well to sign contracts.
As the CEO of the Morrison Group, Khloe naturally had to oversee the reception and personally finalize the agreements. The inspections, in particular, could not afford the slightest mistake-they involved corporate confidentiality and drug safety.
During the meeting, Khloe did her best to focus, yet her mind wandered again and again.
She thought of their parting-of how Nick had held her hand and emphasized calling her three times a day, promising he would return as soon as possible. He had told her to wait for him with peace of mind.
When he came back, they would hold their wedding banquet and truly entrust themselves to one another.
The sincerity in his eyes hadn’t been fake. Khloe genuinely liked him from the bottom of her heart.
It was different from the sense of being moved and dependent she had once felt when Trey pursued her. She no longer sought security from anyone else.
What she felt for Nick was simple and pure-admiration, attraction, affection.
She only wanted to walk through the rest of her life hand in hand with him… no matter what lay ahead, she just wanted to be on the same path as him.
But there was one condition. Nick could never be someone who deceived her.
“Miss Roswell?”
Her name was called several times before Khloe realized she had drifted off again. She looked up to see a proposal displayed on the screen, waiting for her input.
She quickly gathered herself, flipped through the documents at hand, and outlined several key points to watch
for.
After the meeting ended, Khloe passed through the open office area and noticed Charlotte and the others watching her. She forced a reassuring smile in their direction, saying nothing.
“Charlotte… Khloe doesn’t look so good. Did I mess up?”
The impulsive girl who had sent the first message that morning felt a twinge of guilt. She had seen the news and forwarded it without thinking.
Now that Khloe was, at the very least, the Morrison family’s heiress, she shouldn’t have to rely on any man, right?

going on with another woman, Khloe needed to see it clearly as early as possible.
“Yes, you did,” Charlotte said curtly, tapping the girl on the forehead with a hint of irritation. “Couldn’t you have warned Khloe privately? Posting it in the group and letting everyone discuss it will mess up her judgment. And besides, you don’t even know the full story. How can you jump to conclusions based on your own assumptions?”
Hearing this, the impulsive girl realized she had acted inappropriately. She looked at Charlotte with watery eyes.
“Charlotte, then what should I do? Should I go apologize to Khloe…”
“Don’t make things worse.”
After saying that, Charlotte picked up a folder and headed straight to Khloe’s office.
She knocked, and a response came quickly from inside.
When Charlotte entered, she saw Khloe sitting behind her desk, arms folded as she stared at the computer screen. She looked like she was working, yet also as if she were lost in thought.
