Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo

Nicole blurted out the so-called flawless excuse of hers, which she had long rehearsed in her mind countless times, in a sincere and serious manner.

Evan gazed at her with his abysmal pair of eyes. He found her odd because she wouldn’t stop fidgeting with the edge of her shirt.

Knitting his brows together, he neglected the things that she had told him and asked in return because he couldn’t suppress his curiosity anymore.

“I heard that someone has delivered you a gift. What is it?”

Nicole stared at Evan, wide-eyed. She couldn’t figure out who had turned their back against her and told him of the things that they should have kept from him.

After falling silent for a few seconds, she explained, “It’s a present from my assistant. I thought that something bad might have happened to her when I received the gift. Thus, I rushed over to her place to check if everything was fine.”

“What is it?” Evan decided to probe further into the matter. He thought that there was something fishy going on behind the scene because he noticed that Nicole was being anxious in an odd manner.
