Solara Energy\u2019s background was strong, and its field aligned with her interests.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She smiled and extended her hand. \u201cBarney, it\u2019s an honor. I\u2019ve long admired your reputation and hope we\u2019ll have a chance to collaborate.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLooks like you stole my line, Khloe,\u201d Barney replied with a clear laugh. Behind his sleek glasses, his deep eyes met hers without hesitation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe smiled subtly, taking a business card from her assistant and handing it to him. Barney reciprocated immediately, offering his own card.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After a few polite words, Barney suddenly asked, \u201cKhloe\u2026 have we met somewhere before?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot that I recall,\u201d Khloe replied, pausing slightly. She couldn\u2019t help noticing how direct his gaze was.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Prompted by someone nearby, Barney quickly nodded apologetically. \u201cSorry, it must be a mistake. I don\u2019t know why, but seeing you gives me a strange sense of familiarity\u2026 and comfort.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe had heard enough flattering lines to stay unfazed. She responded politely, \u201cThen I suppose we\u2019re destined to meet. I must admit, I find you quite approachable as well.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Seizing the moment, Barney suggested dinner after the summit. Khloe shot her assistant a quick glance.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr. Lemont, I\u2019m afraid our schedule is packed today\u2026\u201d the assistant replied hastily.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe raised a hand to stop him. \u201cBarney, how long will you be in Goldmont City? Why not wait until I\u2019m free, and I\u2019ll extend an invite?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m here just for the summit. I leave tomorrow,\u201d Barney said, reading the polite brush-off. He smiled and stepped down gracefully. \u201cNo matter. I have more business in Goldmont City in the future. Next time, Khloe, I\u2019ll hold you to your promise.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course,\u201d she replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Having finished with him, Khloe slipped away through a private passage.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Watching her retreating figure, Barney\u2019s expression softened, almost dazed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A friend beside him noticed and nudged him. \u201cBarney, I know Khloe is beautiful, but a word of warning-she\u2019s taken!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh?\u201d Barney curved his lips faintly,\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy Nick Hunt! I hear he dotes on her relentlessly.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nick\u2019s name had not crossed Barney\u2019s mind in years. A prestigious conglomerate backed by state capital, it was discreet domestically but commanded respect internationally.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Really? That was her connection?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 392\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Snapping back to reality, Barney pulled out his phone, intending to save her contact.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Just then, he saw that Angela had called him multiple times. By the time he stepped outside to get her, Angela was nowhere to be found.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He quickly dialed Angela\u2019s number.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m at a coffee shop across the street,\u201d Angela said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSorry, my phone was on silent. Did something happen?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey closed the entrance outside; I couldn\u2019t get in,\u201d she admitted, sounding slightly deflated. She didn\u2019t dare elaborate, worried Barney might probe. The project materials were already with him; her presence was secondary. A shame, though-this had been a prime networking opportunity.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After hanging up, Barney didn\u2019t linger at the summit. He headed straight to find Angela.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Khloe\u2019s phone buzzed. She assumed it was Nick, since she had habitually sent him a message after leaving the summit. She had even mentioned Barney and Solara Energy, noting that some projects overlapped with Nick\u2019s company.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But when she answered, a female voice came through instead.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKhloe.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 392 Advertisement Read Billionaire&#039;s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 392 \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-26913","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\/26913","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=26913"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26913\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26913"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26913"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26913"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
