Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo

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

Besides, Aunt Portia might not agree to let him replace Levant too.

She decided to walk away. Yet, she barely took a few steps forward before she turned around to glance at the bodyguard again.

“Ms. Ankins, what’s the matter?”

“I’m fine.”

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

“No, it’s not necessary!”

It was only then did Daphne continue her way to Levant’s room.

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.

Unable to stand his indifferent attitude, Daphne snapped, “Levant, I suppose you understand it very well that I’m much more important to Aunt Portia than you, and I’m going to be your future wife. Are you sure you’re going to continue giving me the cold shoulder?”

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

Lady Musgrave is my foster mother and she isn’t related to me by blood. Perhaps, it’s true that Daphne, her niece, does matter more to her.

But, so what if that’s true?

It’s up to Sir Musgrave to decide his successor.
