“Of course. You didn’t cry.”
Khloe nodded, patting Nick on the shoulder like she was coaxing a child. “Watching the movie with you was fun. We’ll do it again next time.”
She switched off the TV with a swift press, tidied up the dishes on the table, and hummed a tune as she returned to the bedroom to change. She was going to take a shower.
No sooner had she wrapped herself in a towel than Nick followed her in. She spun around, startled.
“Nick, I’m going to shower. You need to—”
“Relax. I’ve seen it all before. Why so nervous?”
Nick spoke as if deliberately teasing. His arms circled her waist from behind, his hand sliding upward in one smooth motion, and her towel slipped to the floor.
Even with her back to him, the sudden exposure left Khloe flushed and embarrassed. She bent instinctively to retrieve the towel, but Nick gripped her waist, holding her still.
“We’re taking a shower together.”
“Stop it-”
“I can’t manage alone. Help me out?”
He played his trump card. Without waiting for her consent, he loosened the collar of his pajamas. They fell effortlessly to the floor, covering her towel.
Khloe knew he was deliberately scheming, yet there was nothing she could do. All her defenses, all her careful restraint, had been undone. She surrendered to the warmth and closeness that enveloped her.
Water flowed, their bodies light and buoyant. Nick had regained much of his strength, but Khloe chose to tend to him gently… and briefly. A taste, then restraint.
Nick held her close, still hungry for more. “From now on… every night, can we do this a few more times?”
“Nick, you’re insane.”
Khloe laughed softly, biting her lip, cheeks flushed. Yet even as the word “insane” left her lips, it hit him like a spark-momentarily stealing his focus.
After they finished showering, Khloe finally told Nick about her upcoming business trip abroad.-
“Business trip? Suddenly?”
Nick was sharp; most of the Morrison Group’s business was domestic, but she was talking about Naraida.
“Don’t worry. I’ll still spend time with you these next few days… and the trip will only be two or three days-real quick.”
Khloe spoke vaguely, avoiding a direct answer.

But Nick grasped her wrist as she reached for the hairdryer.
“Tell me. What’s going on?”
“It’s just a business trip,” she said.
His gaze lingered, sharp and calculating. He seemed to sense that her smile was hiding something.
Caught, Khloe quickly shifted the topic. “By the way, tomorrow night, Grandpa and Grandma want to have dinner with us. I told them you can’t move around much, so they’ll come here. We’ll invite Arista too, and I’ll cook…”
“Wherever you go, I go too.”
Nick wasn’t deterred. He circled back to his point.
“You can’t come.” Khloe exhaled, firm. “You need to rest properly. It’s not suitable for you to travel so far.”
“I can go,” he insisted. “I won’t let you go alone.”
“What’s there to worry about? I’m going for work-”
“Lying.”
The moment he spoke, the softness in his eyes vanished, replaced by a sudden hardness.
“How am I lying? I…”
“You’re hiding something from me.”
Khloe’s gaze flickered, restless. Her voice pitched higher, betraying her unease. If this were really just a business trip, she wouldn’t be speaking with such careful avoidance.
Nick’s expression darkened. He tilted her chin up with one hand, the warmth and strength of his touch undeniable. “There’s something you’re not telling me, isn’t there?”
