Billionaire's Match (Khloe and Nick Hunt) novel Chapter 742

Michelle stepped out and immediately ran into Lenny, who looked like he wanted to crawl onto the doorframe to block her. Her face darkened instantly.

"Hey, are you kidding me? Do you think I'm some kind of monster?"

Michelle knew exactly why Lenny treated her like this—like she was a thief about to rob a house. Last time, when she was heartbroken and wanted someone to stay with her through the night, this guy had taken every opportunity to twist the knife in her heart. Even when she boarded the plane, he had found subtle ways to remind her not to ruin Nick and Khloe's happiness.

Only after leaving did she realize that Lenny's willingness to stick around was simply because he feared she would refuse to leave. Even a lowly assistant looked down on her like this. Her pride felt utterly shattered.

"Miss Keller, I… I was just worried about you," Lenny said, taking a half-step back. His tone was polite, though forced.

Michelle gave him a flat look, entirely unconvinced. "Worried I'd eat Khloe?"

Lenny froze again, at a loss. He could handle any challenge at work, but a woman's accusations left him completely defenseless.

Fortunately, Khloe had followed them out. "Lenny, escort Miss Keller out, please."

"Yes, Madam." Lenny nodded and immediately stepped aside, gesturing for Michelle to lead the way.

Michelle ignored him, glanced once at Khloe, and strode off.

Lenny hurried to follow. Inside the elevator, with only the two of them, the atmosphere thickened instantly.

Michelle suddenly leaned against the wall, head lowered, brushing at the corner of her eyes.

She seemed to be crying.

Panic surged through Lenny. "Miss Keller, I really didn't mean anything against you today. I was just…"

"Tissue?"

Michelle's voice was muffled, almost hollow.

Lenny froze for a moment, then fumbled through his pockets and handed her a pack of tissues.
