Nick’s presence was overwhelming. Even from across the room, the sheer authority he exuded made anyone uninvited hesitate. It was the kind of air that seemed to say, keep your distance, stranger.

Only someone like Khloe-poised, unflinching, with a heart as steady as her composure-could stand beside him so calmly.

“Khloe, you and Mr. Hunt are perfect together! Watching you exchange rings just now-I really felt so touched,” Charlotte whispered, her voice trembling as she dabbed at her eyes.

Another girl next to her sniffled and added, “Yes! I can’t stop crying…”

“Seriously! It’s just a betrothal… why are you crying?” Khloe protested, her face flushed.

“I’m crying because you deserve this happiness, Khloe.”

“Exactly! You finally found your happiness…”

“Mr. Hunt, Khloe is truly an extraordinary person! Beautiful is only the tiniest part of her-there’s so much more that makes her special. You absolutely must, must treasure her!”

They were the only ones in the Fox Group who knew the real relationship between Khloe and Trey. Even then, they had only found out about it through Khloe after leaving the Fox Group. Back at the Fox Group, Khloe had worked diligently, and nobody had even known her connection to Trey.

Being praised so openly, in front of Nick himself, made Khloe squirm. She hurried to interject. “Alright, alright… Nick, you should go mingle. These girls are just exaggerating-please don’t take it to heart…”

“I think they’re right,” Nick said. Instead of moving on, he seated himself, scanning the table with a gaze that remained commanding yet carried a surprising softness.

“You can go on… tell me more about what makes Khloe so remarkable.”

Even Lenny, trailing behind Nick, couldn’t hide his surprise. Never before had his boss spoken with such approachability, even to business associates of the Hunt family.

“Well… there are just so many things!” Charlotte’s friend spoke up again.

Khloe’s face burned. “The banquet is starting-aren’t you all hungry? I’m starving…” She picked up her plate, quickly placing cupcakes onto each girl’s plate, hoping to silence their praise with food.

But Nick’s spoon hovered over his plate, poised but empty. He looked at her. “What about mine?”

Khloe froze. She hadn’t expected him to sit here at all. When he’d come over earlier, he’d only said he wanted to greet her friends.

“Nick, you should go to Arista’s table. She’s been waiting for you-seems like she has something to tell you.’

“I can hear whatever she has to say later,” Nick replied calmly, withdrawing his gaze and lifting his spoon again. But he wasn’t taking food for himself. Instead, he gently placed the last piece of cupcake onto Khloe’s plate.

“Tonight, I should be with you.”

His voice was soft, almost casual, yet somewhere inside, a string inside her chest loosened.

Around them, the room buzzed with chatter and teasing, but Khloe’s eyes never left him. Each time he spoke this way, his calm, distant tone seemed deceptively neutral-but why did it feel so intimate, so… stirring?
