Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 489

Nicole stood outside the bar with her heart racing as fast as a sportscar. The place was where she had had a steamy night with Evan, where she had treated him as an escort.

Scenes of that night replayed inside her head, and she took a deep breath and closed her eyes, willing herself to forget about the fateful event. She reminded herself that she was here to meet someone.

“Let’s go.”

“Yes, Mrs. Seet.”

Nicole hated the maids addressing her as “Mrs. Seet” when she was married to Evan. Yet, now, when he was gone, she requested them to address as such instead. She wanted everyone to know she was once married to Evan and would be his wife even after death.

Yoda followed Nicole until they arrived in front of a private room, where the bodyguards standing outside stopped them from entering. “Ms. Lane, our master is waiting for you inside. I’m afraid your guard will have to wait outside.”

So the woman turned to Yoda and instructed him to wait outside while she went in.

“Yes, Mrs. Seet.”

Meanwhile, Juan noticed a debit card sitting on the table and frowned. “Did Mommy put this here?”

“Mommy never leaves her debit card here. Did she forget to take it when she left?”

“What if Mommy needs to use it?”

“Should we bring it to her?”

The four children looked at each other and nodded simultaneously.

“But who should go?”

Maya pondered the possibilities and suggested, “How about we draw lots again?”

“You’re here. Come, have a seat.” Levant smiled as if he was greeting an old friend.

Nicole took up his offer and sat across from him. She had come only because of an agreement she had made with the man when she broke the most expensive wine in Levant Winery when she was there.

She’d received a call from Levant a couple of hours ago, saying that he had thought of the thing he wanted her to do. The man had asked her to meet him at the bar.

Just as she was about to ask what he wanted her to do, Levant spoke first. “You don’t have to be so tense. All I want is to become friends with you. I hope this dinner will make you happy.”

Nicole did not reply. After the passing of her husband, happiness was a word that had disappeared from her life. It had become more of a luxurious thing to have.

Knowing that it was all pleasantries, Nicole replied with a polite smile and asked, “Mr. Levant, what do you want from me?”

Upon seeing the sadness in her eyes, he could tell that Evan was still living deep inside her heart. It was a sign that the woman sitting across from him was a sentimental person. He poured her a glass of wine and stared at her affectionately.
