Chapter 21\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe didn\u2019t want to take up any more of Michael\u2019s time. As soon as he escorted her to the hotel elevator, she spoke up. \u201cThank you, Michael. I can manage from here. You should go handle your work.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Michael offered a warm smile. \u201cOf course. If you need anything at all, just call me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI will.\u201d Khloe gave a small wave.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just then, someone abruptly forced the elevator doors open A figure slipped inside and deliberately shouldered past Khloe with surprising force, nearly knocking her off balance in the spacious cabin.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWinnie.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe had barely steadied herself when she recognized the woman in the Chanel\u2013style tweed suit. Michael\u2019s voice came from the hallway, sharp with recognition.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Winnie Olson\u2019s long black curls cascaded down her back, her perfume so potent it seemed to stain the air. She cast a dismissive glance at Khloe before fixing her gaze on Michael. \u201cMichael, new girlfriend?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t be ridiculous. This is my cousin, Khloe.\u201d Michael\u2019s tone carried a clear note of displeasure, though he remained civil for Winnie\u2019s sake.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cKhloe? Oh, you mean Niel\u2019s\u2026 illegitimate daughter?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Winnie tilted her head, her eyes narrowing as she scrutinized Khloe with newfound interest.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe remained silent. She had no patience for spoiled heiresses\u2013especially one who had intentionally rammed into her hard enough to leave a bruise.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWinnie, mind your language. She is my uncle\u2019s daughter, my cousin, and the rightful heir of the Morrison family.\u00a0<\/p>\n
11\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cRightful heir or not, I\u2019m not a Morrison, so I don\u2019t care!\u201d Winnie retorted, jabbing the \u2018close door\u2018 button and cutting off Michael\u2019s reply.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The elevator doors slid shut with a definitive chime. Inside, a thick silence fell. Winnie offered no apology, and Khloe didn\u2019t expect one. It was obvious Winnie\u2019s hostility was aimed at Michael as much as at her, and Khloe had no interest in getting involved in their drama.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When the doors opened on her floor, Khloe strode out without a backward glance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had just reached her suite when her phone rang. It was Michael, checking to see if she\u2019d arrived safely.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then, his tone careful, he explained that Winnie was the adopted daughter of the Olson family\u2013a childhood friend of his. \u201cShe has a terrible temper, but she\u2019s not truly malicious. Please don\u2019t take what she said to heart.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Olson family? Olson Toys?\u201d A memory clicked into place\u2013the Miss Olson she\u2019d clashed with while purchasing her penthouse.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, that\u2019s the one,\u201d Michael confirmed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Michael went on to explain that Mrs. Olson and Clarice were close, so the two families often socialized. The Olsons. had no sons, only two daughters: Veronica, their biological child, and Winnie, the adopted one.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So the woman who had tried to snatch her penthouse must have been Veronica.\u00a0<\/p>\n
No wonder Winnie had looked at her so strangely after hearing her name. The \u201cillegitimate daughter\u201d slur had likely originated from Veronica, too.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The thought of navigating a gala with both of them tomorrow instantly drained Khloe\u2019s enthusiasm. Mingling\u00a0<\/p>\n

with society heiresses was infinitely more exhausting than any boardroom battle.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That night, jet lag from her first trip abroad kept her restless. Lying in bed, she absently scrolled through her phone until a new post from Nick appeared in her feed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was a beautifully shot photo of a city skyline at night, posted without a caption.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her mind drifted back to Oscar\u2019s words on the plane.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cKhloe, have you heard of the three\u2013day rule in dating?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe three\u2013day rule?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt means if someone contacts you within three days of meeting, they\u2019re interested. If not\u2026 well, you can assume they\u2019re not.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He\u2019d said it with clear curiosity about any progress between her and Nick.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But what progress could there be? Three days had passed, and he hadn\u2019t reached out once.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe tapped open his profile. His avatar was another night scene\u2013not of a city, but of a mountain range under a vast, open sky, with scattered stars gleaming bright.\u00a0<\/p>\n
