Trey turned back and pulled Angela into his arms. \u201cIf I had feelings for her, I wouldn\u2019t have married you and had Pete with you. But right now, Khloe has to be kept in check. We can\u2019t handle any more instability right now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Angela fell silent. She understood the pressure he was under. Even if he had developed some attachment to Khloe, now was not the time to press the issue. She had to be the understanding one.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The next morning, Trey was up early. He\u2019d barely slept, his mind churning over Khloe.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At the first light of dawn, he headed for her room, but his phone rang before he could get there.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He answered, his voice rough with fatigue and tension. \u201cYou didn\u2019t come home last night?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMhm. Drank too much with a client. Stayed at a hotel.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe\u2019s voice held not a shred of apology, only the cool detachment of someone just waking up. \u201cDid I keep you waiting?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Trey froze. All the restless anxiety that had plagued him all night suddenly felt like a pathetic joke. \u201cYou stood me up for this?\u201c!\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNot just that,\u201d she continued, utterly unfazed. \u201cI\u2019m thinking of taking a few days off. I need a break.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
His voice shot up. \u201cTime off? Do you have any idea what\u2019s going on right now? The company just lost a major project! This is the critical moment to recover, and you-\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve been working nonstop under unbearable pressure. I\u2019m not feeling well,\u201d she interrupted, her tone sharp and cold. \u201cOr is the company going to collapse without me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t give him a chance to respond. \u201cYesterday, while our assistant was shoving documents at me to sign, I was in the middle of negotiating a multi\u2013million dollar compensation deal with a client. I didn\u2019t have a second to breathe. And then? Your mom called me over and over, demanding I drop everything to cook for Alicia because she only likes my food.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She paused, her voice dripping with icy sarcasm. \u201cTell me, Trey\u2013be honest. Was I supposed to abandon a multi- million dollar negotiation to run home and play personal chef for your sister?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
His throat went dry. He knew exactly how crucial that clien was and how much work Khloe had poured into saving the deal.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI know it\u2019s difficult, but they can\u2019t keep interfering like this. I am not the Fox family\u2019s private cook. Yesterday, because I didn\u2019t show up, your mother called me disrespectful, and Alicia accused me of putting on airs. Did you know that?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Trey\u2019s brow furrowed deeply.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMy head is completely focused on saving this company, and yet your family is actively trying to drag me down at every turn.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then, her words became a razor\u2019s edge. \u201cHow about this\u2013you go tell your mother I\u2019ll resign. I\u2019ll dedicate myself to cooking special meals for Alicia. The company can figure it out on its own. After all, what difference can one person really make?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you out of your mind?\u201d Trey\u2019s voice cracked. \u201cResign? Now? What happens to the company then?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThen you tell me, what do you want?\u201d she fired back. \u201cEither your mother and sister apologize and promise never to interfere with my work again, or I go home and be a full\u2013time nanny. The company\u2019s problems won\u2019t be\u00a0<\/p>\n

my concern anymore.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She let the silence hang heavily between them before delivering the final, brutal blow.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo choose, Trey. Do you want me stabilizing the company and bringing in business, or do you want me serving your sister her meals?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
On the other end of the line, Trey went completely silent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Trey knew, with chilling clarity, that when Khloe used this one, she wasn\u2019t bluffing. Without her, no one could clean up the mess the company was in.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cKhloe, my mother and Alicia, they\u2026\u201d He tried to find a sofer path, but she cut him off without mercy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t make excuses. I only need them to understand one thing: I am here to work, not to be their servant. If they can\u2019t respect that, then I see no reason to continue.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
For the first time, Trey realized with stark clarity\u2013the woman who had once been so compliant was gone. The woman on the other end of the line could no longer be placated with empty promises.\u00a0<\/p>\n
