Billionaire's Match (Khloe and Nick Hunt) novel Chapter 857

Chapter 857

The moment Khloe heard that, she immediately understood-Nick was messing with Lucas.

And yet, even when he toyed with people, Nick carried himself with such seriousness that it felt completely real. She had almost believed him

“Look at this scene.”

Lucas paused the screen, pointing at the moment when the protagonist discovered clues in a dilapidated apartment.

“The dim lighting, the chaotic clues-this symbolizes the disorder of information in the emerging energy sector. At the beginning, the protagonist rushes in and chooses the wrong direction, and one mistake leads to another, drifting farther and farther off course. It shows that the more information there is in a field, the more patience you need.”

Khloe had thought he was speaking off the cuff, but he was unexpectedly earnest.

She couldn’t help pressing her lips together. “When you put it that way, Lucas… it actually makes some sense.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she jabbed Nick lightly with her elbow.

Only then did he lift his gaze, adding in an even tone, “Not bad. Being able to discern order within chaos is the first step. If you really want to invest broadly, the key is to first determine which clues are noise and which are genuine signals of value.”

Khloe was speechless.

Did that explanation even add anything?

It was the first time she had seen Nick spout nonsense so seriously.

And yet, with his presence and that face of his, everything he said carried the weight of authority.

If Khloe weren’t an expert herself, she might have believed it too.

Lucas nodded thoughtfully, as if he had just received valuable insight, and turned back to rewatch the scene.

Khloe quietly brushed the back of Nick’s hand, lowering her voice. “Are you done yet? He’s your friend, and you’re teasing him like this? Isn’t that a bit mean?”

“I didn’t say anything particularly outrageous.” Nick pulled her into his arms, murmuring softly by her ear.

At that moment, Lucas’s phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID, his brows knitting slightly, and walked over to the window to take the call.

After a brief exchange, he returned, his expression a touch more serious.

“I’ve got something to deal with. I need to head cut,” Lucas said, his tone still carrying a hint of reluctance. “I got a lot out of today. Nick, we’ll have to discuss this again sometime.”

Nick stood, his expression unchanged. “Take care. Want me to copy the movie for you?”

“Definitely. This film is excellent-so many layers of metaphor. I’ll need to study it carefully.” Lucas’s eyes lit up as he agreed immediately.

After seeing him off, the house finally fell quiet again, leaving only the two of them.

Khloe let out a breath, amused. “Lucas… really is quite the scholar.”

“That’s right. He was always top of his class-competitive, never willing to lose. Someone like him will succeed at anything. He doesn’t need me to teach him.”

Nick followed behind Khloe, wrapping his arms around her from behind, unwilling to let her go even for a moment.

“Are you jealous of his talent? Afraid he’ll come to Goldmont City and steal your business?”

“Maybe.”

Nick’s fingers brushed lightly along the curve of her ear. “After all, dealing with Solara Energy is exhausting enough. I don’t want my wife to have even more competition.’

“Why would he be my competitor? Aren’t you the more formidable one?” Khloe turned her head, the tip of her nose grazing the corner of his lips. “Besides, once I have a baby… I can step back to the second line.”

Though Nick hadn’t appeared much these past few days, it hadn’t slowed him down in dealing with Solara Energy in the slightest.

With minimal effort, he had steered the applying pressure from every angle.
