Chapter 496:
Khloe explained, “Artist seems envious of my success. | intend to flaunt my achievements, particularly with
Peaks of Eternity soon premiering. I'll throw myself into promoting it, which will compel her to act. Once she
does, we'll catch her.”
Setting her plan into motion, Khloe arranged a meeting with Tess at the office to discuss promotional strategies,
then switched into a new outfit and departed.
Committed to his duty, Henrik accompanied her, impeccably dressed in a formal suit complemented by his
bodyguard uniform and a mask, embodying his role perfectly.
Upon their entry into Tess’s company, they turned heads. Henrik’s commanding presence was unmistakable,
even behind a mask.
The young female staff immediately took notice, their excitement evident. “Who's the striking man in the mask?
He's absolutely alluring,” whispered a girl with a ponytail to her friend, her curiosity piqued.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Look at his physique; he must be scelebrity,” her friend responded admiringly.
Mistaking Henrik for a celebrity, they watched as he accompanied Khloe inside. A few of the more adventurous
employees approached him.
“Excuse me, handsome. Whom are you here to meet? Are you a new celebrity Miss Byrd has signed? I'd be
happy to give you a tour.” A well-made young woman fluttered her eyelashes, looking at him with open
admiration.
Henrik’s brow furrowed as he subtly edged closer to Khloe, positioning himself protectively behind her.
As Khloe observed this, a peculiar feeling washed over her. She cleared her throat and addressed the situation.
“He’s my bodyguard. We have an appointment with Miss Byrd. Could you tell us if she’s available in her office?”
Upon discovering that Henrik was a bodyguard, the employee’s eyes lit up with even greater enthusiasm. She
responded brightly, “Yes, Miss Evans, Miss Byrd is expecting you. I'll make sure your bodyguard is well taken care
of”
Khloe acknowledged her with a nod and began to walk away.

However, the employee wasn’t done yet, turning her attention back to Henrik. “Hey, handsome, could | have
your contact details?”
“I'm on duty. No contact details,” Henrik finally responded, his tone detached.
His voice, somewhat obscured by the mask, carried a deep and captivating quality that drew excited giggles
from the surrounding girls. Despite this, the employee continued to press him for information.
Khloe, hearing the growing chatter behind her, felt a flicker of annoyance. Henrik certainly had a way of turning
heads.
In a cool, firm voice, Khloe looked back. “Are you coming, or do | need to cget you?”
With that, she marched straight to Tess’s office, Henrik close behind, leaving the disappointed women in their
wake.
Tess welcomed Khloe with a warm smile. However, her expression shifted to one of astonishment upon seeing
Henrik, and she nearly exclaimed, “Hen...” With several employees still lingering outside, Tess’s outburst
threatened to blow Henrik’s cover.
Khloe didn’t waste a second and stepped forward to cover Tess’s mouth with her hand, signaling her with a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmglance to stay silent.
Tess froze for a moment before it clicked, a flash of regret crossing her face as she gave a quick, almost
apologetic nod.
Khloe let her hand drop slowly and leaned in to murmur, “Keep it to yourself—he’s undercover.”
Tess nodded once more, her shock evident as she moved to shut the door. Henrik showing up in person was the
last thing she'd expected.
Henrik had a mountain of responsibilities, too many businesses to keep track of. Lately, he had been ruffling
feathers among various factions, pushing for someone to join the Congress. It was almost unbelievable that he'd
set all that aside to be here with Khloe.
