If this continued, her position within the company would become entirely ornamental.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A sharp knock echoed, and the office door opened as soon as she responded. Ethan strode in, placing a slim folder on the vast expanse of her polished blackwood desk. With a single, dismissive glance from him, the assistant scurried out.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe scanned the documents. It was a post-mortem report on one of Morrison Group\u2019s failing subsidiaries\u2014a project bleeding billions with a severed funding chain.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s this?\u201d Khloe asked, looking up to meet Ethan\u2019s gaze, her expression a mask of cool amusement.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI heard you\u2019re quite capable, especially when it comes to project management,\u201d he said, settling smoothly into the Italian leather chair beside her desk. The sunlight caught the exquisite fabric of his tailored suit, radiating an air of effortless privilege.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYour team isn\u2019t lacking for talent, Ethan. And as you know, I\u2019m in management now. I don\u2019t handle individual projects,\u201d Khloe replied, her voice even, refusing to take the bait.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNaturally,\u201d Ethan said, steepling his fingers. \u201cMorrison Group is brimming with talent. I know you\u2019re eager to dive in, but if you can\u2019t win the confidence of the executives and shareholders\u2026 forcing a transition would make both Mother and me look irresponsible.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIsn\u2019t their confidence something you and Clarice ultimately\u2026 influence?\u201d Khloe\u2019s voice was soft, but the challenge in it was unmistakable.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Their eyes locked. Both were smiling, but the air between them crackled with a silent, spreading tension.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s not make this adversarial, Khloe. We\u2019re family,\u201d Ethan said, the pleasantry not quite reaching his eyes. \u201cI simply believe that if you can salvage a doomed project and prove your capabilities, then assuming a leadership role would be\u2026 justified.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn one condition,\u201d he added. \u201cYou do it entirely on your own. No company resources. No use of any corporate assets. Prove your merit and earn everyone\u2019s trust.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He made it sound so reasonable, but the trap was exquisitely laid: he wanted her to balk.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And he had chosen wisely. The project on her desk was the company\u2019s white elephant-a subsidiary whose funding had dried up six months ago, where three rounds of partners had failed, and even Ethan\u2019s own hand- picked team had thrown in the towel.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But as Khloe flipped to the section on potential partners and saw the Cameron Group listed, a slow, knowing smile touched her lips.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>By any objective measure, the project was a lost cause. But this was her project-the Cameron Group deal she had personally managed before. The very same one Angela and Trey had just spectacularly failed to close. Now, it had landed in her lap as the perfect key.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 4\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When it came to deals like this domestically, she was second to none-and everyone who mattered knew it. This deal had always been hers. If she could snatch it back from Fox Group, she wouldn\u2019t just be saving a Morrison subsidiary; she\u2019d be forcing Trey and Angela to swallow a very public defeat.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe lifted her gaze to meet Ethan\u2019s, a faint, confident smile now playing on her lips.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you believe I\u2019m the one for the job, then I\u2019ll take the project. But understand this-it will be run by my rules.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>2\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 54 Advertisement Read Billionaire&#039;s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 54 \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-26571","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\/26571","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=26571"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26571\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26571"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26571"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26571"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
