Khloe understood well enough. They\u2019d only met once before-there was no real connection between them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His coming here tonight could only mean one thing: Nick was giving her respect, showing her she mattered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Still, she couldn\u2019t help feeling touched.\u00a0<\/p>\n
From the corner of his eye, Nick noticed the distance in her expression. His mind drifted back to the night before.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe had suddenly sent him a message, and he hadn\u2019t known how to respond. He rarely interacted with women and had no idea how to behave with someone he was meant to be engaged to.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So he\u2019d asked Lenny for advice.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lenny told him, \u201cWhen a woman messages first, it usually means she\u2019s saying, \u2018I miss you.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nick was a man of action-decisive, straightforward. If she missed him, then he would simply come see her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And so, as soon as work ended, he boarded a flight to Celosia.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The way Nick and Khloe leaned close, talking softly, drew quiet attention from nearby tables. No one dared to stare outright, but curiosity hummed through the room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What exactly was going on between them? Did they have some kind of private relationship?\u00a0<\/p>\n
But that couldn\u2019t be. No one had ever heard of Nick being close to any woman.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Hunt, do you know Khloe?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finally, Veronica couldn\u2019t stand it any longer. She leaned forward and asked the question outright.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her voice was steady, but her heart was pounding. Nick\u2019s presence was so commanding that even speaking to him made her uneasy, but she couldn\u2019t just sit there in silence.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Two years ago, she had seen Nick once, from afar. Just one look had ruined her for every other man since. She had tried everything she could think of to form some connection to the Hunt family.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even the time she\u2019d fought Khloe over that apartment\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n
It wasn\u2019t really about the property itself. It was because the unit Khlo\u00e9 bought happened to be directly across from Chrystelle Tower-Nick\u2019s office building.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But clearly, Khloe had no idea about any of that. She was just a woman who had inherited a fortune-an illegitimate daughter, a sudden heiress. How could someone like her catch Nick\u2019s attention?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll be staying here tonight,\u201d Nick said suddenly. \u201cLeaving tomorrow morning. There\u2019s a ball tonight. Will you come?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe turned toward Veronica, waiting for Nick\u2019s answer, but he spoke again before she could say anything. He completely ignored Veronica\u2019s question, as if she didn\u2019t exist.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not very good at dancing,\u201d Khloe said after a pause.\u00a0<\/p>\n
1\u00a0<\/p>\n
Since he was clearly avoiding the topic, she saw no reason to respond to Veronica either. Besides, from his demeanor, it was obvious he didn\u2019t want whatever this was to be made public. Their marriage arrangement was still only verbal-nothing official yet.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll teach you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The words brushed past her ear, low and close. His breath grazed her neck, and something flickered through her chest like a spark catching fire. Heat spread from her ear to her face, and she quickly lifted her drink to hide the flush.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay,\u201d she murmured.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Veronica, ignored completely, shot up from her seat. Anger and humiliation burned in her chest. Yet, no matter how much noise she made, Nick didn\u2019t spare her so much as a glance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her eyes filled with tears, and she stormed off. A few of her friends hesitated before one of them finally followed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At another table, Winnie lowered her head, pretending to eat. Through her lashes, she watched Khloe and Nick talking quietly, a faint smirk curving her lips.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This dinner, she thought, hadn\u2019t been a waste after all. She\u2019d witnessed something far more interesting than she expected.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nick, as always, managed his time precisely. He took a few bites, set his utensils down, and his assistant appeared almost immediately to remind him of an upcoming online meeting.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSee you tonight,\u201d he said to Khloe, his dark eyes calm yet magnetic-impossible to look away from, and just as impossible not to fear.\u00a0<\/p>\n
