Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 60

Chapter 60

The girls could withstand Angela’s bullying. But every time she scolded them, she insisted on smearing Khloe.

Khloe hadn’t been at the company for a while. Why was she still being blamed?

Trey felt the guilt he’d harbored for Angela evaporate in an instant. What was she thinking, still trying to compete with Khloe in secret at a time like this?

“Don’t leave,” he said firmly. “Khloe will be back soon. You’ve done well. If you want, take a couple of days off- but the company is at a critical stage right now. We need everyone to pull together.”

He thought about offering raises to smooth things over, but no matter what he said, they politely declined.

The conversation dragged on for over an hour. Trey realized there was nothing more he could do. They were Khloe’s people. No matter how much Angela overstepped, their collective resignation had Khloe’s influence written all over it.

He couldn’t help thinking of Stella’s words. Khloe would come back to him eventually. And when she did, she’d have to deal with the mess she’d caused herself.

Finally, the door to the executive office opened. Angela watched as Khloe’s team left without a backward glance. she wanted to find Trey to explain herself, but the assistant stepped out and said he was in a meeting-no one was to disturb him.

She returned to her desk, annoyed, and sent him a message.

It wasn’t until the end of the workday that he replied, saying he had plans that evening and to go home first. He added that, to avoid trouble, they should keep contact minimal for the next few days.

Angela knew immediately-Khloe had stirred something behind the scenes. She cursed silently, determined that once she and Trey were officially together, Khloe would pay.

The next morning, at the Hunt Group headquarters.

Nick had just wrapped a multinational meeting, finishing thirty minutes ahead of schedule, still before lunch.

Lenny hurried over with the afternoon’s schedule, laid out in dense detail all the way to ten at night: project negotiations, business appointments, critical meetings.

Nick skimmed it, then his phone rang. The display read: Grandma

He paused, then swiped to answer. The staff waiting outside quietly left.

“Hello, Nick,” his grandmother’s cheerful voice sounded. “I heard you met Miss Roswell the other day. Any progress?”

Nick froze. He didn’t know how to answer.

In the entire Hunt Group, let alone the international scene, very few people would dare push him on marriage. But his grandparents were exceptions.

Before he could respond, his grandfather’s voice cut in, “Nick, my boy! When will you bring your fiancée to come visit us? I hear she’s beautiful and accomplished!”

“I just met her. It isn’t the right time.” Nick leaned back in his chair, trying to keep his tone measured.

But the elders’ enthusiasm didn’t wane.

“Just met her? We counted-you’ve known her for over a week now!”

“When does it count as the right time?”

Nick pressed his lips together, silent. No one could make him lose control… except these two.
