Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 1022

“Let him in.”

“Yes, Mr. Evan.”

Levant entered the living room. With a glimmer in her eyes, Nicole ran towards him. “Levant, I haven’t seen you in a while, and I really miss you.”

“…”

Levant looked at her, confused.

Is Nicole talking to me? Did she really say she missed me?

This statement astonished him more than winning the lottery.

“Levant, what’s the matter? Did you come here to see me?”

Levant returned to his senses and said, “Yes! I came here to see you. How are you?”

Nicole nodded vigorously. She gave Levant a warm welcome and showed him to his seat. She then asked the maid to serve him tea, all the while completely ignoring Evan’s existence.

Levant was pleased to receive such hospitality from Nicole. Although he did not understand the change in Nicole’s attitude toward him, he was truly enjoying every second of this treatment.

Evan watched their interactions coldly. He was really starting to entertain the idea of marching over and grabbing Levant by the collar to kick him out of the Imperial Garden.

“Nicole, if you have the time, do visit the winery. They included new delicacies to their menu, so you should head over to give them a taste and see if you like them.”

“She doesn’t like the food at Levant Winery!”

Evan blurted out before Nicole could respond. He stalked up next to Nicole and looked down on Levant with his piercing gaze, emitting an air of a king’s aura.

Levant, who was sitting in Evan’s direct line of gaze, suddenly felt oppressed. Nicole’s warm hospitality was certainly a sharp contrast to Evan’s cold attitude.

He found himself wandering between fire and ice. There was Nicole, whose smile was as warm as the spring breeze, but there was also Evan, whose glare was as cold as ice.

They have always been in harmony with each other. They have never been at odds like they are right now. What happened? Could it be that they are really going through a rough patch? If that’s the case, isn’t this the perfect chance for me to mess up their relationship and get between them?

Levant watched their actions keenly while silently celebrating this discovery. “Nicole, would you like to go?” He asked again.

“Of course! Let’s go now!” Nicole exclaimed, shooting a glare at Evan while she spoke.

Nicole stood up all of a sudden and bellowed at Evan, “Why bother! You treat me like your prisoner and keep me under your close surveillance every single day! I’m sick of this! I don’t want to see your face! Levant, let’s go!”

“…”

Nicole’s rave, filled with bellowing anger, came as a shock to both Evan and Levant.

How could Nicole talk to Evan like that? Was there really trouble in paradise?

While Levant was lost in his own world, he could hear Nicole calling out to him, “Hurry up already!”

He came to his senses and followed Nicole out of the living room. He wanted to look back at Evan, but he didn’t dare to. Even without having to look, he knew that the man left behind would surely be staring daggers at him, wishing to butcher him with his glare.

It was only after they left the Imperial Garden and got in Levant’s car that Nicole shed her pretense. Levant took the initiative to strike up a conversation with her, to which she responded wearily, and all her enthusiasm from before had vanished.

The only thing she could think about was how crushed Evan must have been by her attitude a while ago.

Witnessing a complete change in her attitude, Levant finally understood the situation. Nicole’s enthusiasm towards him just now had been a show to spite Evan!
