Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo

How can I possibly fall in love with a man I just met?

“I’m fine.”

“Should I get him tied up to receive punishment?”

“No, it’s not necessary!”

Levant was swamped with work at the moment, so he had no time to entertain her. Not taking her confrontation about the kids seriously, he only gave her a perfunctory reply before asking her to leave.

Levant’s face fell as he went lost in thoughts. In fact, she’s got some point there.
