Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 289

Why is this little weirdo here?

He swept his eyes across the store.

Only when he saw Rocky and Nina at one of the tables did he realize they were out for a family meal.

Ignoring Maya, he took his purchases and continued walking.

His apathy disappointed Maya, who then rubbed her plump little hands and followed him silently.

When Evan left the store and was about to board his car, he realized that the girl had been following him.

“Why are you following me?” he asked with a frown.

His frigid tone made Maya feel even more nervous.

She looked at him gingerly. Mommy said Daddy likes me, and he’ll bring me to eat a lot of yummy food.

“I-I want Daddy to bring me to eat yummy food.”

At that, she stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, looking adorable.

Evan stared at her for a while before glancing at Rocky and Nina.

She’s Rocky’s daughter. Why should I be the one to accompany her?

“Find your daddy. I’m not obliged to keep you company.”

Maya stared at him dumbfoundedly. But you’re my daddy!

However, she did not dare to say those words out loud as she was afraid of ending up like Juan. He had been taken away by Evan and could no longer see Nicole.

Without sparing her another glance, Evan entered his car and slammed the door shut.

Instantly, tears welled up in Maya’s eyes as upset overwhelmed her senses.

Watching Evan’s car drive off, she couldn’t contain her tears anymore and cried out loud. The next thing she did was run after his car as she shouted, “Uncle Evan, Maya has been good. Maya’s obedient. Uncle Evan!”

The car drove off into the distance and soon, it disappeared from her blurry vision. Yet, she still ran after the car while crying her heart out.

I have to catch up to Daddy.

I have to make Daddy like me.

…

Right then, Nicole returned to the table, only to find Maya missing. She asked, “Where’s Maya?”

Nina froze for a moment before she lied, “She went to the restroom.”

Nicole furrowed her brows. “Why didn’t you go with her?”

“She’ll be back in a while. The restroom’s just over there.”

“Maya doesn’t know her way around. Don’t you know that? Hurry up and look for her.”

“I don’t want to.”

Nicole heaved a sigh of relief. If Maya was following Evan, she should be safe.

She then swiftly took out her phone to call Evan.

Meanwhile, when Evan saw that Nicole was calling him, he rejected the call without hesitation.

But she did not give up and called him again, only to be rejected by him once more. The cycle repeated a few times before she borrowed Rocky’s phone out of desperation to try her luck.

This time, Evan picked up the call almost immediately.

“Who is this?”

“Evan, you b*stard! Where did you bring Maya to?”

Nicole’s loud voice traveled from the other end of the line.

Evan was confused. What the hell is wrong with this woman? Why is she asking me about Maya?

“Why are you asking me about your daughter?”

“Stop pretending that you don’t know anything. Didn’t she leave with you from the KFC store?”

While it was true that Maya had been following him, he had told the girl to return to her parents earlier on.

“No. She isn’t.”

“Bullsh*t! Evan Seet, what are you trying to do with Maya?”
