Billionaire's Match (Khloe and Nick Hunt) novel Chapter 952

Just as Lenny escorted Nick and Khloe to the dedicated security checkpoint, Khloe called out to stop him.

"Let's part here, Lenny."

She glanced at the other assistants and staff accompanying them. The luggage Lenny had been carrying was immediately taken from his hands.

But Lenny was completely confused. "Madam… what do you mean?"

"It means you're staying. You won't be coming with us to Swinterland," Nick spoke calmly as he stepped closer, studying Lenny for a moment before lifting his hand to pat him lightly on the shoulder.

Lenny's suit was as impeccably pressed as ever.

Thinking about it, Nick realized he had never seen him dressed any other way. From the very first day Lenny joined the Hunt Group and began working at his side, he had strictly followed Nick's habits and standards in every detail.

"Sir… did I do something wrong?"

Lenny was stunned. All these years, no matter where Nick went, he had followed like a shadow.

"No. I just have something I need you to handle this time, so you'll have to stay at the company."

The corner of Nick's lips lifted slightly, a faint trace of a smile in his eyes.

Lenny had long been accustomed to his boss's cold, commanding tone when giving orders. Hearing him speak so gently now only made him more uneasy.

"Sir, is there really no one else who can take care of it? I'd still prefer to stay by your side and Madam's… Besides, others at the company handle things better than I do…"

Lenny grew anxious as he spoke. He knew he wasn't indispensable, but this trip was for Nick's medical treatment. Beyond his role as an employee, he considered Nick a friend—and wanted to accompany him.

"I trust you more with this matter. And after all these years of working you day and night, it's about time I let you slow down and take a proper break."

Before Lenny could respond, Khloe added with a smile, "That's right. Nick and I have already discussed it. After the wedding, we planned to give you some time off."

Lenny immediately shook his head. "Sir, Madam, I don't need a break. I don't want to—"

"It's not a full vacation. The task we're leaving to you is still very important."

"There's a small arrangement."

Khloe slipped her arm through Michelle's and smiled sweetly.

She knew Michelle was the kind of woman who responded well to gentle coaxing—give her enough emotional reassurance, and she'd become perfectly agreeable.

Nick looked at Michelle and said evenly, "You've received the promotional partnership for the new project, correct?"

"I got it a while ago," Michelle nodded. "But my studio will still take some time to finish setting up, and your new product line needs to be reworked as well. Don't tell me this is all about that?"

The project Hunt Group had won from Solara Energy had already officially begun.

Since Michelle had participated in the bidding process, she was now Hunt Group's promotional partner.

Taking into account that she was establishing a new studio domestically—and that her reputation and image aligned with the brand ambassador they needed for the new product line—Nick had initiated the collaboration with her on behalf of the company after securing the bid.
