Chapter 88\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was the same woman from that night\u2019s ball, the one who had danced with Nick-his childhood friend, Michelle.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tonight, Michelle had dressed to impress.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A pale blue, strappy gown clung to her figure, clearly a custom, handcrafted piece. The fabric caught the light in delicate sparkles, and a soft white silk shawl draped over her shoulders, amplifying her natural elegance.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yet her cheeks were flushed, her gaze unfocused, and Khloe could tell she\u2019d been drinking.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMichelle\u2026 what are you doing here?\u201d Nick\u2019s voice darkened as soon as he saw her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHow could I not come to congratulate you now that you\u2019re engaged?\u201d Michelle raised her glass toward him, but her eyes immediately flicked to Khloe. She let her gaze linger, assessing her, before a faint, strained smile appeared.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMiss Roswell, you\u2019re truly beautiful\u2026 no wonder Nick chose you as his fianc\u00e9e. You two really do look perfect together.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The jealousy in Michelle\u2019s tone made Khloe\u2019s mouth go sour. It was clear Michelle had feelings for Nick far beyond friendship.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But today was Khloe\u2019s engagement-her moment. Whether praise from others was genuine or not, she could take it graciously. \u201cThank you, Michelle. You look lovely as well.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Michelle was striking-her features sharp, her aura icy. But her next words carried a bitter undertone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLovely, but what good is it if fate isn\u2019t kind? Always meeting the wrong person at the right time\u2026 or the right person at the wrong time.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her voice softened, her gaze again landing on Nick, suddenly shimmering with unshed tears.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe didn\u2019t fully understand her meaning. Around the table, Khloe\u2019s friends looked as if they\u2019d just witnessed some dramatic revelation, their expressions tense and wary.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Everyone\u2019s attention instinctively snapped to Nick.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019ve had enough, Michelle.\u201d His tone was flat now, stripped of all expression. He turned slightly to Lenny.\u201d Take Michelle home.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lenny nodded immediately, moving to support her. But Michelle dodged him, swaying toward Nick instead.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re old friends. You wouldn\u2019t deny me even one drink, right? I\u2019ll finish this, then I\u2019ll go on my own\u2013no need to trouble anyone else.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nick didn\u2019t respond. He simply lifted his glass and drank it down, eyes never leaving straight ahead. Michelle\u2019s tears spilled over her cheeks.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFine, Nick\u2026 you\u2019ve made your point. I won\u2019t trouble you again.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She drained her glass and set it down, but her body went suddenly slack, tipping directly toward him. In an instant, Nick sidestepped, not a thread of her dress brushing against him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lenny, having caught Nick\u2019s silent signal, stepped in immediately, steadying Michelle with a respectful tone. \u201d Ms. Keller, you\u2019ve had too much. I\u2019ll take you home.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Michelle hadn\u2019t expected such complete avoidance from Nick. She hesitated, opening her mouth, but Nick\u2019s cold, unyielding gaze stopped her words in their tracks.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat won\u2019t be necessary.\u201d She glanced one last time at him, pushed past Lenny, and stumbled out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After she left, the atmosphere at the table shifted entirely. All eyes were on Nick, including Khloe\u2019s. But he only gestured across the table.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cPlease, eat. Don\u2019t hold back,\u201d he said lightly, as if nothing of interest had happened.\u00a0<\/p>\n
