Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 38

Chapter 38

Back when the company was going through its hardest times, Khloe had always been there-standing quietly by his side, saying words like that.

And every time, Khloe had indeed thrown herself into the fire for him, taking on everything without complaint.

Trey frowned. Why was he thinking about Khloe again?

“Trey, have you forgotten that I studied finance too? I might be able to handle Khloe’s job just as well.”

After soothing him for a while, Angela finally revealed her real purpose.

Instead of letting Khloe serve as Trey’s right hand, Angela thought it would be better if she joined the company herself.

Previously, he hadn’t allowed her to do so because he was afraid his family would find out.

“That wouldn’t be appropriate,” Trey said immediately, rejecting her without hesitation.

It wasn’t just because of his family. If Khloe came back and saw Angela working there, he couldn’t imagine how she would react.

“I know what you’re worried about,” Angela said, easily reading his thoughts.

She’d already prepared for this. The position she wanted wasn’t Khloe’s managerial one-it was to be her assistant.

That way, when Khloe returned, it could be justified as helping out.

Besides, Khloe was the one who had asked for leave; someone had to fill the gap.

“Women understand women best. Khloe’s only upset because she wants you to care about her. If she finds out I’m working by your side, she might feel a little threatened-maybe that’ll make her come back on her own, just to save face.”

Her words struck right at the core of Trey’s thoughts. He had spoiled Khloe for years, so much that her temper had grown. She’d even moved out without saying a word to him.

Even if he managed to persuade her to come back, she would have the upper hand afterward.

Still, despite all her scheming, he had no doubt about Khloe’s feelings for him. He’d spoiled her for six years- there was no way she could just walk away like that. Certainly not over something so trivial.

After thinking it through-and unable to resist Angela’s repeated pleading-Trey finally agreed.

The next day, Angela officially started working at his company. Once her onboarding was completed and the system automatically processed the approval, Khloe received a text message.

Her department had a new employee. The name: Angela Thompson.

Khloe stared at the notification for two seconds before the corner of her lips curved into a faint smile.

Trey really had no patience at all. She’d only been on leave a few days, and he’d already let Angela into the company. Was he incapable of surviving without a woman by his side?

“Miss Roswell, you’ve already finished inspecting the Morrison family’s assets. Will you be attending the shareholders’ meeting later?” her assistant asked, pulling her back to the present.

“Of course,” Khloe replied without hesitation.

Even though she couldn’t take control of the Morrison Group yet-and the board clearly favored Clarice-she still needed to make her presence known.

Back in his office, Trey waited all day. His phone lit up and went dark, lit up and went dark again, until he nearly burned a hole through the screen. But aside from work messages, there wasn’t a single word from Khloe. 1

She must have seen the notification about Angela’s new position.
