Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo

“Nicole, I understand. I do.”

Davin, who usually did not have a care in the world, looked dejected. He lit a cigarette and took a puff.

He puffed out rings of smoke, shrouding himself in it. For some reason, the smoke looked like a barrier between him and the world, isolating him and making him look lonely.

Davin was no longer the jovial and cheeky guy. All of a sudden, he turned into a serious man who looked like he had experienced all the pains in the world.

“Truth be told, I fell in love with a girl once. She got pregnant as well at that time.”

Nicole frowned and listened attentively. She did not expect to see this side of him but was convinced that every person had a painful past he or she would never want to recall.

“One day, I got drunk, fought with someone, and caused her to suffer a miscarriage. She almost lost her life because of it.”

As he spoke, flashes of memory starting to pop up in his mind like a film.

“After that, she…”

Davin found it difficult to continue with the story when all the gruesome details began to haunt him. Just when he was trying to phrase his sentence, he heard a loud bang.
