Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 84

Chapter 84

Trey called out Khloe’s name almost without thinking.

It was only a glance, a fleeting sight, yet the woman disappeared from view almost immediately, escorted by others.

“Khloe? Why are you still thinking about her at a time like this?”

The name made Angela’s nerves tense instantly. But Trey, pointing ahead, spoke with a subtle hesitation. “I… I think I just saw Khloe…”

The figure was familiar—so familiar that even without seeing her face, his mind registered it as hers.

“How could that be? The hotel’s completely booked.”

Angela scoffed, feeling both incredulous and irritated. There was no way Khloe could have made it here; this banquet was for Goldmont City’s elite, and even the Fox family hadn’t been invited.

“Do you really think the woman who just got out of that car is Khloe?” Angela’s lips curved in a hint of derision.

Before Trey could step forward, a concierge intervened, and soon after, a team of bodyguards sealed off every entrance and elevator to the hotel. Outside, the area was cordoned off, and anyone without a special invitation card was turned away.

“Such an operation… the Hunt family sure is powerful and efficient.”

Back in the car, Angela murmured under her breath. But a glance caught Trey staring at his phone.

“You’re not messaging Khloe, are you?”

“I was just telling our client we’re changing locations.”

Trey immediately locked the phone, his voice neutral. But Angela had been right-he was checking Khloe’s activity.

It wasn’t until he noticed her Whatsapp status had changed a few hours ago that he felt some relief. She had switched it to her “busy working” update, a habit of hers when caught up in a project. That meant she was occupied-either with company matters or some freelance work.

Khloe was competent. The last time he talked to her on the phone, she’d mentioned exploring other companies, and there was that one time a man had picked up when he’d called her phone. These signs suggested someone might have extended an offer to her.

Perhaps that was why she’d asked for shares. Trey knew she wouldn’t resist the lure of the company going public. And on top of that, she was still sulking at him.

He was certain of one thing: she would come back to him, eventually, obediently.

By eight o’clock, the banquet hall was gradually filling with guests. Khloe had planned to arrive later, but out of courtesy, she came early.

Nick had a crucial meeting and said he could only arrive just in time. Though rushed, as long as they both arrived, the grandparents’ mission would be accomplished.

No sooner had Khloe stepped in than Loretta pulled her from group to group, introducing her to the Hunt family
