Chapter 87 Chapter 87: Khloe flushed slightly, feeling a bit awkward at being patted and praised, as though she were a little kid being Humored, yet strangely comforted, Khloe couldn't help but feel a sense of security in the moment. Henrik, noticing her response, inquired, "You've got classes at Zhecrora University, right?" "Yes," Khloe confirmed, unfazed by his knowledge. It was only natural for someone like him to have access to information that others wouldn't.
"Rhett teaches there, so he'll keep an eye on you," Henrik said with a casual shrug.
"Rhett? Isn't he the CEO of Evergreen Capital?” Khloe asked, her curiosity piqued.
It struck her as strange how Henrik's subordinates were so multi-talented. Despite Evergreen Capital's success, Rhett still had the tand energy to teach at Zhecrora University.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"He actually started out studying biology and medicine. Evergreen Capital is just something he manages to keep attention away from his real interests. He doesn't deal with investments at all-he doesn't even know the first thing about them." That made sense.
Khloe nodded, starting to understand.
That explained a lot. She had always thought that Rhett didn't have the usual cutthroat businessman vibe but instead carried a more academic, thoughtful presence.
Even so, it was hard to picture how Rhett ended up working with Henrik. Khloe wondered how they had crossed paths.
But since Rhett had clearly chosen to keep his relationship with Henrik private, Khloe decided not to pry. Sthings, after all, were best left untouched.
As she drifted into her thoughts, Henrik abruptly scooped her up.
Khloe instinctively wrapped her arms and legs around him, holding on tightly as though seeking reassurance. "What do you think you're doing?" she asked.

He then reached for the aromatherapy diffuser on the nightstand and turned it on. Soft, pale blue smoke began to rise, swirling gently in the air like light ribbons.
The fragrance started as a faint whisper, a gentle, calming scent that gradually deepened as the smoke rose. It reminded her of a garden in full bloom, sweet and captivating. The aroma carried the grounding warmth of sandalwood, the fresh scent of jasmine, and a touch of an unfamiliar herb, creating a serene and balanced atmosphere.

It smelled wonderful.
Khloe's eyes lit up in appreciation as she looked at Henrik, her hand resting on his thigh. "Where did you get this? I'd love to have some," she asked, her hand inching a little too close to his manhood.
Henrik stiffened slightly, his breathing quickening. He took her hand in his, his voice low and hushed. "I made it myself. If you'd like, I can make more for you."
Realizing she had overstepped, Khloe felt a flush of embarrassment. She had been a little tdo relaxed recently. "I'm Sorry. I didn't mean to,” she said quietly, trying to pull her hand away. But Henrik didn't let go, his gaze fixed on hers, only softening when he looked at her lying on the bed.
Forcing aside the thoughts he shouldn't entertain, Henrik said, " show you how to make it when I get the chance. For now, just try to relax and get srest."
Khloe closed her eyes as instructed, feeling the tension melt the calming f Janey with fragrance. Unlike before, she drifted into a peaceful sleep quickly. mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliI0fiflO&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
