I left breakfast at your door. Don\u2019t forget to take it.]\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The moment Khloe saw the message, she opened her door. Sure enough, a black, round thermal container sat outside.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Inside were all kinds of food and several drinks.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Everything was packed in the insulated containers from his home. It looked very much like something specially prepared by Nick\u2019s personal chef.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Warmth spread through Khloe\u2019s chest. She replied at once: [Got it, thank you. Have you eaten breakfast?]\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>There was so much more she wanted to ask-why he hadn\u2019t stayed the night, whether he was busy today.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But after typing for a long time, she ended up sending only that.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nick replied quickly: [I\u2019ve eaten. I\u2019m a bit busy right now. Let\u2019s talk later.]\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Seeing his message, Khloe could only delete the long paragraph she\u2019d typed out. She sent back a simple [Okay], along with a small emoji.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nick set his phone down, then turned to look at the woman who had barged into his office.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMichelle, the rules here at the Hunt Group are clear. You\u2019re not allowed to see me without an appointment. If you do this again, I\u2019ll reconsider all cooperation with your family.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>His voice was icy. He leaned back in his chair as he spoke, not even bothering to spare her another glance.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Michelle\u2019s eyes were red. Lenny and the bodyguards stood nearby, unsure whether they should forcibly escort her\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>out.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Keller and Hunt families were currently collaborating on a project, so Michelle had access to the Hunt Group office building. By rights, they were acquaintances.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In the past, when Michelle had urgent matters and couldn\u2019t reach Nick, she had come straight to his office. His reactions back then had always been indifferent, never harsh.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Because of that, Nick\u2019s people had always treated her politely.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNick, why did you block me? Why are you being so heartless? What did I do wrong?\u201d Michelle demanded, unable to understand. \u201cThe way she treats you-can\u2019t you see what kind of woman she is?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Last night, she had sent Nick several messages. When she checked this morning, she discovered she\u2019d been blocked.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShut up.\u201d Nick snapped.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He lifted his gaze suddenly, the cold scrutiny in his eyes so sharp that Michelle felt a chill run through her whole body.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She had never seen him glare at her like this before. Her heart sank.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEveryone out.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Only after Nick gave the order did Lenny lead the others out of the office.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 153\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When the door closed and only the two of them remained, Nick spoke again. \u201cWho gave you permission to have someone follow her?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Michelle had hired people to take photos of Khloe and Trey. The moment she sent them to him last night, he had threatened to end the cooperation with the Keller family and ordered her to delete everything immediately.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo you know she\u2019s involved with another man?\u201d Michelle shot back. \u201cNick, even if you\u2019ve been hurt before, you shouldn\u2019t be this undiscriminating!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She finally lost control, speaking in a rush, her words careless and sharp.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Before she could finish, the pen on his desk was flung violently away, startling her so badly that she jolted.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nick had been raised with strict discipline. Even when furious, he had never vented his anger openly-especially not in such a rough manner, and certainly not toward her.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Michelle\u2019s eyes instantly welled up. \u201cNick, is it really necessary to treat me like this over a woman you\u2019ve only known for such a short time?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMichelle, listen carefully.\u201d Nick\u2019s voice was cold and steady. \u201cShe is my fianc\u00e9e. This time, for the sake of the past kindness your family once showed me, I won\u2019t pursue the matter. But if I hear anyone slander her even once, I will not be merciful.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He stared at her, as if delivering a final warning.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe same goes for you and your family. If you think you can\u2019t accept this, then there\u2019s no need for any further dealings between our two families.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 153 Advertisement Read Billionaire&#039;s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 153 \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-26670","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\/26670","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=26670"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26670\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26670"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26670"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26670"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
