Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 1749

Chapter 1749 Hunting For Treasure

Regardless, Janice could not shake the feeling that Maya was a threat. Wilbur likes Maya. A lot. If I don’t do something about her, I won’t have any peace of mind during the engagement party.

Having witnessed the entire scene, Wilbur’s assistant waited until the two women had left before returning to the office and reporting everything to Wilbur.

After listening to what had happened, Wilbur frowned slightly and was quiet for a moment, deep in thought. Then, he turned and said, “Jeff, there’s something I need you to do…”

“Got it. Don’t worry, Mr. Simpson. Leave it to me.”

That night, Maya returned to Imperial Garden and recounted what had happened to Nina.

“Don’t you think she has a screw loose? Why would she ask me to accompany her to pick her wedding gown? What’s more, she wants to go to the bridal shop we run! Tell me, how could she have the audacity to suggest such a thing?”

Nina also felt that it was odd. “Is she truly that shameless?”

“Yes! That’s exactly what happened! It was so unexpected that I could hardly believe my ears! I think she was trying to show off, making sure I knew she’s going to be Wilbur’s fiancée,” said Maya.

Nina thought back to when she had bumped into Janice at Wilbur’s company. Even then, she had sensed that Janice was not one to be messed with.

Hence, she cautioned, “Maya, she was probably trying to get close to you because she’s up to something. Maybe she was planning to slip and fall so that she’d lose the baby, then blame it all on you. Remember, stay far away from her. Don’t let her use you as a scapegoat.”

After pondering for a moment, Maya replied, “That makes sense. I didn’t even think about that. I’ll stay far away from her. Thanks for pointing it out.”

“Oh, right. What did Wilbur say when you went to see him?”

“He asked me to go the engagement party.”

Nina was quiet for a brief moment. “He didn’t say why he wanted you to go there?”

“He said he wants me to know everything and that I’ll understand on that day. I suppose he’s planning to reveal some secret then.”

Nina frowned. Secret?

“I’ll go with you. I’m also curious to know what kind of secret the Simpson family is hiding.”

“Stay here and have fun, okay?” said Levant.

He took out his phone as he walked to the courtyard and dialed Davin’s number.

“How’s business?” he asked.

“In a word, good. In two words, so good. In three words, so very good. In four words, so very, very, very good!”

“That’s five words! Has all that money addled your brain?”

Davin counted on the fingers of his hand, then laughed and said, “Are you thinking of coming over to have some fun? I can give you a discount. Twenty percent. How’s that?”

Levant scoffed, “Are you only interested in making peanuts? How are you going to earn big bucks like this?”

“Peanuts? Are you saying that it’s too little? Here, I’ll sweeten the deal. If you bring five people with you, I’ll give you a fifty percent discount. And if you bring ten people, I won’t charge you a single cent. What do you think?”
