Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 1002

When the car arrived at the hospital minutes later, the doctor was already on standby. He wasted no time in giving Nicole an examination.

“How is it?”

The doctor paused for a moment before answering him. “Mr. Seet, I doubt this was one of Mrs. Seet’s episodes. She seems to have collapsed due to a sudden increase in her blood pressure.”

“Will she be fine?” Evan’s voice was full of concern.

“Don’t worry Mr. Seet, Mrs. Seet should come to in a while.”

His words greatly relieved Evan. Taking a seat by her bedside, he silently prayed for her well-being.

When Avril arrived at the Imperial Garden, Evan and Nicole were not around. Hence, she found a reason to talk to Stephen.

She took the chance to ask him, “Why did you tell others about how I threw myself at you?”

Stephen froze at her question. Aside from Nicole and Evan, he had not told anyone. No one else should be in the know.

Noticing his lack of response, Avril proceeded to grill him further. “Do you hate me that much? To the point that you wish for everyone to mock me?”

Stephen remained silent.

“I take it that your silence means a yes?”

Still quiet, Stephen’s brows furrowed.

Avril shot him a look of despair and grumbled, “Why do you have to be that way? Even if you’re not fond of me, it doesn’t give you the right to degrade me like that! My dignity is worth a lot too, alright. Now, everyone knows about how I drugged myself and tried to seduce you. My reputation is completely tarnished. Do you really want to see me kill myself?”

With a grim look etched on his face, Stephen still did not say a word.

This further upset Avril, causing her to weep uncontrollably.

Staring at her crying her heart out unsettled Stephen as he was fearful that others would misunderstand. “Please Avril, don’t be like this.”

She turned around to look at him full of hope and asked, “Are you comforting me?”

Stephen responded, “If you really want to cry, don’t do it here. Should other people get the wrong idea, it would be more unfavorable to you.”

Avril blinked a few times and stuttered, “You… You want me to… Go home to cry? Why don’t you just ask me to stop crying?”

Stephen was at a loss for words.
