Chapter 69\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nick\u2019s question was blunt, leaving Khloe momentarily startled.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not that I don\u2019t like it, it\u2019s just\u2026 we-\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve never once had a gift returned to me.\u201d Nick interrupted, his voice tinged with a cold authority that made the air seem heavier.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThen\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you don\u2019t like it, throw it away.\u201d His tone remained even, but the weight of someone used to command pressed down like a tangible force.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe hesitated, then smiled faintly. \u201cThen I\u2019ll keep it. The ring is beautiful-brighter than anything I\u2019ve seen at jewelry exhibitions. Thank you, Mr. Hunt, I really like it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut\u2026 having received something so valuable from you, I feel it\u2019s only proper to give a return gift. May I ask- what do you usually like? I want to give you something in return.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She added quickly, not wanting to seem distant, \u201cEven though it\u2019s an arranged marriage, I don\u2019t want to feel like I\u2019m always indebted. A gift in return makes things easier between us.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nick, unusually, didn\u2019t brush it off as he often would with a curt \u201cno need.\u201d He only said softly, \u201cNo need to trouble yourself.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Khloe persisted. \u201cNo, really. I\u2019d feel unsettled otherwise. If you don\u2019t have anything particular, I\u2019ll choose something myself-my taste is good. I won\u2019t disappoint you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He studied her serious gaze for a moment and finally said, \u201cSure.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her eyes curved into a small, satisfied smile. \u201cOnce I pick it out, I\u2019ll send it to you. You know, Mr. Hunt, you\u2019re easier to get along with than I thought. I heard from Uncle Oscar that you were strict, but you\u2019re actually quite approachable.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
It wasn\u2019t flattery; it was sincere.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Though his expression remained neutral, Nick had no pretension-he was willing to humor even small matters like her plan to return a gift.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t respond, only reminded, \u201cBreakfast\u2019s getting cold.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe hurriedly picked up her fork and took small bites of her dessert.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When they finished, Nick glanced at the time and instructed Lenny, \u201cPrepare the car. Send Miss Roswell back.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
That afternoon, Khloe received a call.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMiss Roswell, this is the Emeritus Investment Group. We\u2019d like to add 30 million to your current project.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201c30 million?\u201d Khloe blinked, surprised. \u201cWe haven\u2019t even been in contact. Are you sure?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAbsolutely. We trust your team\u2019s capabilities, no conditions attached.\u201d The voice was certain and firm.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Though puzzled, Khloe arranged to sign the agreement half an hour later.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On her way to the office, Charlotte\u2019s call came through. \u201cKhloe! Emeritus is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Hunt Group! They just acquired it, haven\u2019t announced it yet!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe froze, hand gripping the contract. Suddenly, everything made sense. The bold doubling of investment this morning? It was Nick\u2019s doing. Yet he hadn\u2019t mentioned it once.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before signing, Khloe messaged him. His reply was brief.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nick: [Send me the project details later.]\u00a0<\/p>\n
No pleasantries, strictly business.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe: [Got it. Thank you for your trust, Mr. Hunt.]\u00a0<\/p>\n
Thinking of his sharp, almost severe face, she felt a faint, inexplicable warmth and even added a small heart emoji.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nick was in the middle of a meeting when he felt his phone vibrate again. His gaze flicked down, and the corners of his mouth lifted just slightly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After signing the contract, Khloe was ready to leave, but rounding the elevator corner, she almost collided with someone unmistakably familiar-Angela.\u00a0<\/p>\n
