With her team assisting, the shoot wrapped up in under an hour.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>By the time filming ended, night had fully fallen.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Just as Nick\u2019s car was about to depart, Michelle knocked on the door.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Lenny rolled down the window and cast a glance at Nick in the back seat, who had his eyes closed in rest, then politely asked, \u201cMiss Keller, may I help you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy car\u2019s full. Could I hitch a ride back to the hotel?\u201d Michelle\u2019s gaze flicked toward Nick. \u201cNick, while we\u2019re heading back tonight, I can go over tomorrow\u2019s schedule in the car. That way, we don\u2019t need to discuss any further back in the hotel room.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Hearing this, Nick finally opened his eyes and gestured for Lenny to let her in.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As the door opened, Michelle moved toward the seat beside Nick. He said coldly, \u201cThere\u2019s space in the front.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nick was seated in a seven-seater business van; the rear seats were largely empty.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A flicker of embarrassment crossed Michelle\u2019s face. She obediently moved to the front, thoughtfully leaving two empty seats between herself and Nick.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIs this alright?\u201d she asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nick didn\u2019t respond verbally. He merely made a hand gesture indicating she could begin.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The car glided along the winding mountain road. Inside, a single reading light cast a warm, muted glow. Michelle pulled out a tablet and began walking him through tomorrow\u2019s schedule.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nick mostly listened with his eyes closed, occasionally opening them to ask one or two concise questions at key points.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2026The last segment,\u201d Michelle said, turning the tablet toward him to show a diagram. \u201cTomorrow morning, we\u2019ve added a project-we\u2019ll need to shoot the mountain observation deck around midnight\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The car swerved as she spoke, and her body jolted; the tablet nearly slipped from her hands. Michelle saw Nick instinctively lift an arm, expecting him to steady her. Instead, he leaned back, folding his arms as if to shield himself-even against the chance she might brush him across the seat gap.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ll follow your arrangements. Wrap up as early as possible,\u201d Nick said, his voice flat and calm.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Michelle nodded, putting the tablet away. Once the discussion ended, only silence remained between them.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Her gaze drifted to the window, lost in the impenetrable darkness outside, fingers curling into a fist.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Late that night, the car arrived at the hotel.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Lenny stepped out to open the door for Michelle. Though there was only one decent hotel near the mountains, Nick had arranged for them to stay in separate wings.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Just as Nick turned to leave, Michelle spoke abruptly. \u201cNick\u2026 have you ever told Khloe the truth about yourself?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 293\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nick\u2019s steps froze. The night stretched his silhouette long and cold.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Michelle hurried to stand in front of him. Lenny reached out instinctively. \u201cMiss Keller\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was my fault back then. I didn\u2019t fully trust our bond and wavered. But now I know-I love you, and I accept everything about you.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut Khloe is different from me. If she knew the truth\u2026 do you think she\u2019d still stay by your side?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Michelle\u2019s voice wavered, her composure cracking. This was likely her last chance; she wasn\u2019t willing to give up.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe is different. She would never\u2026 leave me in my vulnerable moments,\u201d Nick said coldly, his voice low and steady, yet his back stiffened just imperceptibly.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince that\u2019s the case, do you dare let Khloe know that the one sleeping beside her might spin out of control\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShut up.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nick\u2019s voice was hoarse, low, and dangerously calm.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>2\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 204\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 293 Advertisement Read Billionaire&#039;s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 293 \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-26814","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\/26814","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=26814"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26814\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26814"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26814"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26814"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
