Billionaire's Match (Khloe and Nick Hunt) novel Chapter 1093

Charlotte's calm, almost effortless composure felt like a string that had suddenly snapped and been hastily reattached—more unsettling than if it had broken entirely. It only made people worry more.

Ethan wanted to do something for her, but he also feared that if it came from him, it might only add to her pressure. Khloe had even reminded him before: when it came to Charlotte, his concern should never be too direct.

After all, Charlotte had a strong sense of pride. The more pain she was in, the more she feared being exposed.

"I'm fine. Everything's the same as usual—work's going smoothly. It's just… a little boring, I guess."

For some reason, Charlotte suddenly blurted that out. Even she was a little surprised after saying it.

Ethan was a little surprised as well.

Then he quickly said, "Boredom's easy to fix. I get bored a lot too… How about I take you out sometime? Or is there anything you really want to do? After work or on your days off, I can come with you—"

"Ethan, that's not what I meant. I was just talking casually. Please don't take it to heart."

Charlotte quickly interrupted him, and even tone turned distant again in an instant.

Ethan's heart sank slightly, but he immediately controlled his expression and nodded.

"I didn't take it to heart. I was just speaking casually too. Khloe asked me to look after you. As long as you're doing well, that's all that matters. If you run into any trouble, you can come to me."

The atmosphere turned stiff again. Ethan felt a bit helpless and could only awkwardly salvage the situation.

"Okay," Charlotte responded softly. Then she asked, "What about you? What happened tonight? How did you get injured?"

"Don't even mention it. I got beaten up by some bastards."

Just thinking about it made Ethan scoff coldly, his tone sharp with irritation.

"Bastards? Who would dare lay a hand on you?" Charlotte looked genuinely surprised. "And you didn't fight back?"

"How was I supposed to? There were too many of them, and I'm not in good shape recently either…"

He answered irritably, only to notice her brows tightening.
