Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo

Sofie took Lisa’s lessons to heart. I must learn to endure this and wait for opportunities to emerge.

Hence, she refused to take that slight personally as she started to laud praises upon the children instead.

Her measured response was well received by Russell.

“It’s good that you like them.”

Sofie smiled in satisfaction and thought about launching another round of compliments for the four kids.

It was at this moment when she heard Evan proclaim loudly, “I don’t need you to like them!”

Stunned, Sofie was at a loss for words.

The atmosphere soon turned awkward.

Then, Jonathan shot Evan a look.

Russell also reprimanded Evan for his choice of words.

Evan got to his feet, unable to contain the frustration that was mounting within him.

“Grandpa, Dad, I’ll head upstairs to check on the children.”

“Evan…”

Russell halted him in his tracks. “Your father and I will go to them. You shall keep Sofie company.”

With that, he gave Jonathan a look and the two of them made their exit.
