Billionaire's Match (Khloe and Nick Hunt) novel Chapter 773

Why was she so fixated on a mere assistant?

After lunch, Khloe had Michelle escorted back to her hotel by Lenny. Before parting, Khloe emphasized once more: under no circumstances should the news about Nick's accident leak before the bidding ended.

Michelle, still shaken from almost being led into a trap by Angela, nodded earnestly. "Don't worry," she promised. For Nick, this time, she would follow Khloe's orders without question.

On the ride back, Michelle noticed Lenny was unusually tense. He barely spoke, barely made eye contact as she got in and out of the car. Whenever their eyes met, he would quickly look away, as though she were some untamable beast.

By the time they arrived at Michelle's hotel, Lenny silently unlocked the car, waiting for her to step out without a word.

"You really hate me that much?" Michelle finally asked, unable to hold back.

Lenny froze. "What do you mean? I wouldn't dare—"

"You wouldn't dare? Every time you see me, you act like I'm plotting against Khloe. Tell me—do I look that evil? That… unlikable?"

Michelle's voice, sharp and full of anger, left Lenny momentarily speechless.

"No… that's not what I mean."

"Then what do you mean? I'll give you the chance to explain." Michelle crossed her arms and glared at him coldly.
