If there\u2019s something you can do for me, I\u2019ll let you know.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>His words weren\u2019t so much a comfort as a statement-direct, unpretentious. Khloe couldn\u2019t help but let out a soft laugh.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She subtly turned her head again, stealing a glance at him.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The morning light traced the sharp lines of his profile. His jaw was slightly tense, his expression as cold and composed as ever-but beneath that coldness, she felt a heat that could melt anyone.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The car glided smoothly to the base of the Morrison Group building.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nick leaned over to unbuckle her seatbelt, his low voice brushing against her ear again.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWait for me after work. I\u2019ll pick you up.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOkay.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Watching her disappear into the building, Nick finally picked up his phone, Several missed calls and urgent reports had accumulated.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He clipped on a Bluetooth headset, smoothly turned the car toward the Hunt Group building, and answered the first call.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For once, his voice lacked its usual intensity and icy undertone. He even started with an almost unthinkable,\u201d Sorry.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The person on the other end was immediately flustered, touched to the point of tears.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Had the sun risen in the west today? Nick had\u2026 softened.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe\u2019s mood reflected the same warmth.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After arriving at Morrison Group, she treated the entire staff to milk tea, held a meeting with her five-member team, and later indulged in a Michelin-star lunch.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After the meal, Charlotte asked sharply, \u201cKhloe, did something good happen today? You\u2019ve been so cheerful all morning!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cReally?\u201d Khloe blinked in surprise and touched her face. Her happiness\u2026 was it that obvious?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Charlotte pointed at her lips. \u201cYour smile hasn\u2019t stopped from the moment you got here.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cExactly! Khloe, what\u2019s gotten you so happy? Is it\u2026 something with Mr. Hunt?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The others immediately chimed in, teasing.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe\u2019s face flushed crimson. \u201cN-no\u2026 stop talking nonsense.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it makes sense. Something good must be happening-this morning I saw Mr. Hunt personally bringing you to work!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cReally? No wonder you\u2019ve been glowing lately! So this is what love looks like\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 176\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen\u2019s the wedding? When\u2019s the banquet?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>One by one, the teasing questions came. Khloe didn\u2019t even have time to answer. Flustered, she grabbed her bag and muttered, \u201cI\u2019ll go pay first,\u201d before dashing off.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Still, their words stirred something inside her.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Her progress with Nick had been going smoothly. Though technically a political marriage, their interactions now felt more like a couple in the throes of a new romance.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But a wedding license\u2026 surely that would require a proposal first? Nick hadn\u2019t said a word yet.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>By late afternoon, with over two hours left until the end of the workday, Khloe had already begun tidying her desk and touching up her makeup. Nick was supposed to pick her up soon, and he had even sent a message earlier saying he\u2019d booked a restaurant for dinner.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMiss Roswell, a Miss Keller is here to see you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As Khloe carefully applied her lipstick, her assistant knocked and entered. A partner had brought a major project, specifically requesting to meet with her.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMiss Keller?\u201d Khloe looked up in surprise. \u201cWhat\u2019s her full name?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMichelle Keller,\u201d the assistant replied, handing over a business card.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>2\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 176 Advertisement Read Billionaire&#039;s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 176 \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-26693","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\/26693","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=26693"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26693\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26693"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26693"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26693"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
