Chapter 497

Chapter 497:

Once the door was firmly shut, Tess glanced over and muttered under her breath, “Henrik, when did I miss the memo that you’re utterly smitten?” Henrik’s icy gaze pinned her. “What would you know? You’ve never felt love.” The frost in Henrik’s eyes melted as he turned to Khloe, pulling out a chair for her. “Don’t just stand around—sit down and relax.”

Tess couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed by the affection on display, leaving her momentarily speechless.

After a beat, she turned to Khloe and said, “Let’s wait for the broadcast to start. It’s just five minutes away, and I can keep an eye on the data from here.” As Khloe settled into the chair, Henrik remained by her side, silent and steady, like an unyielding pillar. Tess, meanwhile, threw herself into adjusting the equipment, fine-tuning everything for the broadcast about to begin.

The room grew more charged with each passing second. While Khloe and Henrik exuded calm, Tess’s clenched fists revealed her growing nerves. With so much riding on Peaks of Eternity, Tess knew her company’s future hung in the balance.

Noticing Tess’s tension, Khloe reached out and took her hand with a reassuring look. “Relax. The story I’ve written won’t let us down,” she said, her voice calm and confident, its quiet strength slowly beginning to ease the tension in Tess’s shoulders.
