Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo

Chapter 991

How does one make sure that the leaves stay on the tree forever?

It’s impossible. One cannot simply bend the rules of nature. Leaves will certainly fall, and new ones will take their place. The process perpetuates until the tree dies.

‘‘Nicole, what say we stop this lollygagging and do something fun instead? Let’s see… oh, I’ve got a joke, you want to hear it?’’ asked Sheila after taking a deep breath.

Nicole was unperturbed. Keeping a straight face, she continued to stare blankly at the fallen leaves.

Meanwhile, Sheila’s heart was racing. She was afraid that the silent treatment from Nicole was because the latter would start acting up again. After all, it always ended up making Nicole oblivious to her surroundings while behaving like a gonzo animal.

‘‘Forget about what I said, Nicole. Jokes aren’t quite your style, huh. It’s alright; I get it. We can do something else, though. Do you have anything in mind?’’ said Sheila with a timid tone.

‘‘Well then, how about some shopping?’’ Nicole turned around and finally glanced at Sheila.

Sheila was startled for a while. Although she gave that suggestion, she was still worried that Nicole’s illness would take over her conscious mind at the shopping district. If that were to happen, it would definitely be on the news the ensuing day.

Nicole would then have to kiss her project with the Muir Group goodbye. And after that, she would probably be notorious for her ‘‘stellar performance’’ at the shopping district for years to come.

Taking all that into consideration, Sheila concluded that it would be perilous to go with her proposition. So instead, Sheila tried to come up with a better proposition to deter her from going shopping.
