Chapter 68\u00a0<\/p>\n
Today\u2019s breakfast spread had been prepared lavishly, in part because of Khloe\u2019s presence. Not knowing her tastes, Nick had simply asked the kitchen to prepare a little of everything. He didn\u2019t speak, only lifted his coffee and took a sip.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe scooped a spoonful of dark chocolate mousse cake and offered it to him. \u201cThis one\u2019s really good.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
For a moment, Nick paused, his brow furrowing slightly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe noticed the faint expression and realized her misstep.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSorry\u2026 I wasn\u2019t thinking. How could I offer you a spoon I\u2019ve already used?\u201d she said, about to pull it back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But the spoon was already accepted. And then-he actually took a bite.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The rich, sweet flavor hit his palate, and for a moment, he seemed almost startled by his own reaction, as if awakening from a dream.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSir!\u201d Lenny\u2019s voice was tense, betraying his disbelief.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Not only was Nick known for his fastidious habits, but he also hated sweets. In any banquet or business gathering, Nick would never touch anything sugary. Yet now, he\u2019d just swallowed a bite of cake offered by Khloe.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nick shot Lenny a sharp look and the latter immediately fell silent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2026 don\u2019t like cake?\u201d Khloe asked softly, noticing Lenny\u2019s reaction and feeling a little embarrassed. Perhaps her gesture had been overstepping.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He dabbed the corner of his mouth with a napkin before replying, \u201cI never did. But today\u2026 it\u2019s not so bad.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018Never liked it\u2026 but today it\u2019s fine?\u2019 Khloe wondered, while she quietly licked her lips, unsure how to respond.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They sat in silence for a while, the air between them suddenly tense. Khloe lowered her gaze and only spoke after finishing her slice of cake. \u201cUm\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou,\u201d he said at the same time. His eyes flicked briefly, sharp and searching. \u201cYou first.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2026 just wanted to say, I might have been a little out of line last night with the drinking. If I acted improperly, please don\u2019t take it to heart.\u201d Khloe\u2019s voice was soft, like a gentle wind brushing past-polite, distant, and cautiously tender.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nick didn\u2019t look at her. His tone was cold. \u201cImproper? And I\u2019m supposed to ignore it?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, it\u2019s nothing\u2026 I just worried\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNothing else you want to tell me?\u201d His words were deliberate, pressing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe blinked, unsure, and he clarified. \u201cI thought that when we met again, you\u2019d first talk to me about last time.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLast time?\u201d she hesitated, recalling the previous evening\u2019s ballroom event. She had left early without saying hi, and she should have mentioned it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI went that night, but\u2026 there was a small accident. My dress ripped, so I left early.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nick nodded, a brief acknowledgment, his gaze drifting to the platinum watch on his wrist, almost absent- minded.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Khloe had considered mentioning that she\u2019d seen him dancing with someone, but his silence and composure made her reconsider. It wasn\u2019t worth creating awkwardness over a rare encounter with a childhood friend.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnything else?\u201d His voice cut through the quiet, firm, almost interrogative, and Khloe felt as if she were being examined.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh.\u201d She thought for a moment. \u201cYes\u2026 I also wanted to thank you for your gift. But it\u2019s\u2026 too valuable. I think it would be more appropriate to return it to you in person.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her words barely left her mouth before the clink of his plate caught her attention. His gaze locked on hers, intense and sudden.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cReturn it? You don\u2019t like it?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
