The shoot\u2019s been postponed until the afternoon, or at worst, we can push it a day. We\u2019ll cover any overtime costs.\u201d Seeing her rare flustered expression, he couldn\u2019t help but reach out and gently pinch her cheek. \u201cThis is really bad\u2026 It\u2019s all my fault for not waking up\u2026\u201d Khloe\u2019s guilt weighed heavily on her.<\/p>\n<p>They were shooting at the Royal Palace, of all places! She couldn\u2019t believe she\u2019d dropped the ball here-it felt like a mortal crime. Nick traced her ear with his fingertip. \u201cIt\u2019s my fault for not waking you. | turned off the alarm.\u201d \u201cThe morning session was planned to catch the best light,\u201d he explained. \u201cBut sleeplessness is special. The Palace staff wouldn\u2019t want the model showing up with dark circles and exhausted. They\u2019d rather reschedule than compromise your look. His words melted away a good portion of Khloe\u2019s \u2014- disappointment. She nodded and glanced at him, curious. \u201cBut.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>why are you up so early? Didn\u2019t we sleep together last night?\u201d \u201c| was nervous about the wedding shoot,\u201d Nick replied, a faint smile tugging at his lips. Khloe\u2019s eyes sparkled, and she returned his smile. Even someone like Nick-battle-tested and composed-could get nervous. Perhaps it was time for her to rein in her own fussiness. Missing the morning light meant the afternoon schedule would be even tighter. The Palace had prepared seven elaborate sets for them, each reflecting the changing seasons, historical eras, and major festivals.<\/p>\n<p>The outfits were exquisite, heavily detailed, and painstakingly crafted. Nick had also specially arranged for Khloe to have several pieces of classical jewelry to complement the outfits, delivered in advance. The shoot was demanding. It included not just wedding photos but also promotional footage. From aftemoon to night, they hardly paused, and even then, they\u2019d only completed half of it. Yet, their speed far exceeded expectations. It was all thanks to their natural elegance. Every pose, every angle seemed effortless.<\/p>\n<p>Just by standing in the frame, they became part of the scenery, each shot looking like a masterful painting. \u2014- Even the Royal Palace officials on-site were quietly awed. Booking Nick and Khloe as cultural ambassadors had been a perfect choice. Any of today\u2019s shots, if released online, would instantly go viral. By the time they wrapped, it was deep into the night. Seeing how exhausted everyone was from skipping proper meals to meet the schedule, Khloe suggested they all have a late -night snack together. Of course, Nick agreed without hesitation.<\/p>\n<p>He asked Lenny to make arrangements, finding the busiest barbecue street nearby where they could self-serve along the block-he\u2019d cover the bill. Khloe led a few makeup and styling assistants to a restaurant specializing in lobster while Nick stayed by her side. He\u2019d hardly eaten all day. Knowing he didn\u2019t like heavy food, Khloe had ordered seafood porridge, a few salty snacks, and seasonal vegetables for him But when the dishes arrived, Nick didn\u2019t touch a thing, Instead, he devoted himself to peeling the lobster for Khloe, wearing gloves like a gentleman.<\/p>\n<p>He wasn\u2019t skilled at this, but after observing the staff a few times, he picked it up quickly. Still, he moved clumsily and slowly. \u2014- Lenny offered to help, but Nick refused. Lenny had no choice but to peel alongside him Khloe, not wanting him to go hungry on her account, gently took off his gloves. \u201cI don\u2019t need you peeling the lobster for me. | like doing it myself. You haven\u2019t eaten much today, so let\u2019s eat together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Please support our website by sharing this novel\u2019s link on your social platforms \u2014 Reddit, Facebook, WhatsApp, and Telegram.
