Chapter 251:
Khloe blinked, her eyes drifting to the window. A faint smile tugged at her lips as she spotted the familiar Rolls-
Royce parked below. “Why pretend to ask when you've been followingthis whole time?”
Khloe smiled lightly and made her way down the stairs towards the sleek black Rolls-Royce. She tapped on the
window, and it slid down to reveal Henrik’s undeniably handsface.
“You figured out I was following you?” Henrik asked, opening the door and pulling Khloe inside with one quick
movement. She couldn't react in tand landed squarely on his lap.
When Khloe shifted, trying to get up, he gripped her arm firmly, drawing her even closer to him.
The annoyance he had felt seeing her with Eric dissolved completely as he held her in his arms.
Khloe scoffed. “What do you think you're doing?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHenrik gave her an almost innocent look. “What if | told you it’s just a coincidence? Would you believe me?”
Khloe held back a quiet laugh.
She knew he wasn’t lying, but it was obvious he’d been tailing her.
Noticing the rare flicker of guilt on Henrik’s face, Khloe chose not to call him out. Instead, she tilted her chin with
a playful glint in her eyes. “Alright, | believe you. Just don’t do it again.”
Henrik’s eyes sparkled with amusement as he drew her closer, wrapping her securely in his embrace.
Khloe couldn't deny the wave of comfort that settled over her, feeling his warmth and steady heartbeat.

Henrik, content with the closeness that Eric's involvement had unintentionally allowed, let her go. He didn’t want
to make her overly cautious of his displays of affection.
The car, with Alan at the wheel, pulled up at the site of Khloe’s nearly renovated new lab.
Khloe had only one interview on her schedule today. As she reached for the door to step out, Henrik caught her
hand and refused to let go.
“I'll be late for my interview.” Khloe turned back with a hint of frustration. She didn’t want to make a poor
impression on the rare candidate who had agreed to the interview.
But Henrik didn’t let go. With Alan there as his audience, he used the moment to feign affection. “I have to stick
by you. What if stroublemaker shows up again?”
Hearing Eric reduced to a mere “troublemaker,” Khloe couldn't help but laugh. She wondered how she'd never
caught on to Henrik’s childish streak before.
“There's no need for that. Gloria's with me—she’ll keepsafe,” Khloe replied, tugging at her hand, though
Henrik’s grip only tightened.
“I can help give your new company scredibility. You're short on staff, and your first interview could use a bit
more backing,” Henrik said with sincerity.
Khloe massaged her temples.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHenrik seemed insistent on tagging along, but that wasn’t going to work.
If he showed up at the interview, it would tip everyone off that they were connected to a powerful company.
While this would attract candidates, it might also draw opportunists. Her lab had to remain firmly under her
control, free from outside interference.
Oddly enough, the Dayton family’s blacklist had worked in her favor, serving as an unintentional filter for
genuine talent.
“Absolutely not! You being there would only make things more complicated,” Khloe said decisively.
