Pampered By The Ruthless Underground Boss

Chapter 156

Chapter 156:

“There’s no need. I’ll take care of it myself. I have to handle it on my own.”

Khloe’s words carried an unspoken message, hinting that she wanted to keep things strictly professional. She knew Henrik would catch her meaning.

Henrik’s eyes darkened just a bit, realizing that Khloe, as a partner, was firm and had no deeper intentions towards him. He should have felt reassured, but instead, a strange sense of dissatisfaction lingered. Khloe was amazing, but her control over her emotions left him feeling oddly unsatisfied. He found himself curious to see how her face would look if she ever truly let her emotions show.

Suddenly, he took her hand, his face inching closer to hers. “Khloe, aren’t you being a little too controlled? A bit of spontaneity would make this more real.”

As he spoke, he leaned back against the sofa, blocking Khloe’s escape. Her breathing hitched, and a faint rush of tension rose within her.

The atmosphere thickened with tension, as if the soft orange light in the room had turned into a warm, pink glow of romance. The moment grew more intense as Henrik’s lips inched closer, moving toward Khloe’s soft, inviting lips.
