Instead, he had calmly, almost cordially, asked for her proposed solution.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Under his penetrating gaze, Khloe felt the pressure intensify. But she drew a steadying breath and answered with quiet composure, \u201cRespect the situation and turn a mistake into an opportunity.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She paused awhile, her eyes scanning the long, spacious banquet table.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s more than enough room here. Adding one place setting is simple. The organizers can arrange a seat of equal standing for Mr. Hunt right beside me. This way, the dignity of Morrison Group is upheld, Mr. Hunt\u2019s magnanimity is displayed, and the organizers demonstrate their flexibility and sincerity in handling a crisis. Isn\u2019t that far better than forcing me to move and creating unnecessary conflict and embarrassment for all involved?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A dead silence fell over the hall.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Everyone was stunned. To be so calm under pressure, so razor\u2013sharp in logic\u2013this was no ordinary \u201cillegitimate daughter.\u201d This was a mind of formidable intelligence.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In just a few precise sentences, Khloe had unraveled a seemingly impossible standoff. Veronica\u2019s face went pale.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Unnoticed by most, Michael had returned to the hall. Watching his cousin command the room, he quietly released a breath he hadn\u2019t realized he was holding.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nick studied her for a long moment. The corner of his mouth lifted in the faintest hint of a smile before he turned to the organizers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo as she suggested.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>His tone was even, betraying no emotion.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But the mere fact that he had accepted her proposal was a monumental concession\u2013the organizers looked as if they\u2019d been granted a last\u2013minute pardon.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRight away, Mr. Hunt.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Within moments, the staff brought another chair. The disruption was over, and the banquet officially began. Khloe remained the center of attention, but now, not a single person dared question her right to be there.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy are you staring instead of eating?\u201d Nick\u2019s sudden, low baritone made her jump. Khloe realized she had been lost in thought, studying his profile.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Their seats were close, uncomfortably so. He had removed his suit jacket, loosened the top button of his shirt, and his tall frame was angled toward her. His distinct, masculine scent seemed to envelop her.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She quickly averted her gaze. \u201cMr. Hunt, what brings you to this banquet tonight?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He didn\u2019t look at her, continuing to cut his food with effortless precision.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTen hours on a private jet. But it wasn\u2019t a wasted trip. I go to hear a rather remarkable speech.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He hadn\u2019t answered directly, yet his words were loaded.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He had flown through the night. And he had been there, listening, when she delivered her speech earlier.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>172\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chertel 30\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So\u2026 he had witnessed the entire seating debacle as well?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Heat rushed to Khloe\u2019s cheeks. Compared to his seasoned prowess, her speech felt like a child\u2019s performance.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m afraid I made a fool of myself.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>At that, his hands stilled. He turned his head, and his gaze held a rare trace of warmth.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo. You were impressive.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So impressive\u2026 it had genuinely surprised him.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Impressive enough that when he saw her cornered over the seating, he found himself curious\u2013wanting to see how she would handle it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThank you for the compliment,\u201d Khloe murmured, her cheeks growing warmer.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But the same question echoed in her mind.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He had flown for ten hours through the night. It couldn\u2019t possibly have been just for a meal.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Could it have been\u2026 for her?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Yet he offered no explanation, and she dared not press further.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 30 Advertisement Read Billionaire&#039;s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 30 \u2013 Love [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[78],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26547","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-the-billionaires-checkmate-novel"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26547","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26547"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26547\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26547"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26547"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26547"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
