Billionaire's Match (Khloe and Nick Hunt) novel Chapter 950

Khloe nestled against Nick's chest, finally drifting into sleep. Nick closed his eyes as well, his hands firmly wrapped around her shoulders, as if holding her could anchor his own peace.

Lenny sat alone nearby. The night was deep, yet sleep eluded him entirely.

…

The next day, at noon, on the top floor of the Morrison Group building, a shareholder meeting wrapped up in the executive conference hall.

The doors swung open, and shareholders and executives filed out. Shortly after, an appointment notice was sent via email to all employees.

Due to CEO Khloe's indefinite leave, the Vice President, Ethan, would temporarily assume the role of CEO. Michael, as acting director, would oversee the project and R&D departments. Charlotte was promoted to Chief Secretary to assist Ethan.

At the same time, the CEO's office gathered its staff. Charlotte and Khloe's original team were present. Ethan, having just completed the reinstatement formalities, limped in.

Michael, however, was absent. He was assisting Oscar with a surgery and had only called Khloe earlier, unable to see her and Nick off in person.

In truth, Michael had long decided to continue his entrepreneurial ventures. He had no intention of taking over Morrison Group or Oscar's businesses. It was only Khloe's repeated requests that had gotten him to take a nominal position, granting him authority merely as leverage for Khloe against Ethan—a fact Ethan fully understood.

He didn't mind. That Khloe had entrusted him with the company's reins, even temporarily, was already more than enough. He asked for no further trust.

The CEO's office, once filled with sisterly warmth, immediately tensed up the moment Ethan walked in. Looking slightly embarrassed, he placed the documents that needed Khloe's signature on the table and cleared his throat.

Khloe looked at him—now dressed in a suit, a far cry from the arrogant, overbearing man he used to be—and couldn't help but smile.

"Ethan, wasn't it just a knife wound? How come your legs aren't working either?"
