Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo

Just as she was deep in thought, Evan turned around and walked towards her. He stared down at her coldly.

“…Levant has been keeping tabs on you since a year ago!” His words seemed to have a deeper meaning.

Nicole felt a little confused and panicked.

Levant had been keeping tabs on her since a year ago?

How was that possible? Why would he do that?

“Were you and Levant involved in a romantic relationship with each other a year ago?”

Nicole looked absolutely flabbergasted. The memories of the past year jumped out at her, but try as she might, she couldn’t remember where she had seen Levant at all.

Evan’s eyes were cold as ice. When he spoke, his voice was hoarse. “After the breakup, Levant couldn’t forget you, could he? Was that why he wanted to marry you so much?”

“…”

Nicole shook her head.

What relationship? What breakup? Those were the most preposterous rumors about herself she had ever heard.

Evan mistook her silence as a confession of guilt.

So this was why Nicole had been acting so distant towards him lately. She had something to hide and it probably had something to do with Levant.

Perhaps they had a past relationship with each other that Evan didn’t know about.
