Chapter 394\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t move around-careful with your injury.\u201d Khloe strode purposefully through the crowd and quickly settled beside him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy didn\u2019t you say you were back?\u201d Nick\u2019s voice softened unexpectedly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He brushed off Lenny\u2019s support with a wave of his hand, removed his glasses, and reached out, running his fingers over her cheek and through her hair with a practiced tenderness.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The change in his expression was so sudden, so utterly oblivious to anyone else, that those around them didn\u2019t know where to look. Eyes flicked left and right, at the floor, at the ceiling, before finally sneaking glances at the two of them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So, the rumors about Nick being a doting husband were true.\u00a0<\/p>\n
No one had imagined that a man who seemed so cold and detached, seemingly devoid of emotion, could also possess such a gentle side.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The oppressive tension that had hung in the air moments ago seemed to vanish entirely, replaced by a heady, almost suffocating sweetness.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Despite the worry etched across her face, Khloe still spoke with a hint of playful reproach. \u201cWeren\u2019t you supposed to be resting? Who allowed you to hold a meeting at home?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her voice was low as she leaned close to his ear, careful to give him face in front of all these people.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Nick didn\u2019t seem to care. \u201cI\u2019m resting. Looking at the data isn\u2019t hard work.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWho says? Your face looked completely dark just now,\u201d Khloe whispered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat wasn\u2019t because of the data.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing that she still wasn\u2019t leaning close enough, Nick suddenly drew nearer, his nose brushing hers. He slid a hand behind her head and pressed a gentle kiss to her lips.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s because you didn\u2019t tell me where you were.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2026\u201d Khloe\u2019s cheeks flushed. With so many eyes on them, she curled her palm against his chest. \u201cI was just eager to get back to see you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had indeed taken a call on the way, and forgotten to reply-but hearing her say this made Nick\u2019s gaze darken and soften all at once, like sunlight glinting over rippling waves.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cEager, huh?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes\u2026 very. I missed you\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe buried her face. Why did he always ask her these questions when there were so many people around?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her shy, hesitant words were like tiny cat paws, scratching at the very center of Nick\u2019s heart.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He finally glanced at the others. In an instant, everyone shifted aside awkwardly, bumping into each other in the\u00a0<\/p>\n
process.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cMeeting adjourned.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nick\u2019s words were simple, but rare in that they carried the faintest hint of a smile.\u00a0<\/p>\n
There was no summary, no follow-up instructions. The abruptness left the group uneasy, unwilling to leave, fearing that a termination notice might come in the morning.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Only Lenny dared to speak for them. \u201cSir\u2026 what about this incident, then?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not irreparable,\u201d Nick replied. \u201cThe same mistake must not happen again. Everyone will need to submit a review and reflection.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The room froze.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They had just escaped a serious reprimand.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe glanced at them. Seeing that no one wanted to leave, she assumed Nick had been far too strict.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWriting a reflection is that hard?\u201d she wondered out loud.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She looked back at Nick. \u201cIf it\u2019s not a major mistake, don\u2019t make it difficult for them. I think you\u2019ve already scared them enough.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t know the full details of his project, but she understood working in a team: mistakes could happen, and failures could be shared. Criticism should be measured. A leader who was too harsh couldn\u2019t cultivate the strongest team members.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, no, no! It\u2019s easy!\u201d The department heads quickly assured her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A reflection was the lightest punishment imaginable.\u00a0<\/p>\n
