Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 1024

“Sophia, I left the house with Levant. If I leave just like this, it’ll cause trouble for Levant and the winery. Let me stay at the Imperial Garden for one more night. I’ll leave tomorrow. Is that alright?”

She had taken enough advantage of Levant and she did not want to hurt him again.

Furthermore, she wanted to see Evan just one last time.

Once she left, she didn’t know if she would ever see him again. She did not know how much longer she could live either.

“…”

Sophia empathized with her struggles and reluctance to part. She uttered, in between sobs, “Alright. I trust you. I know you don’t want to hurt Evan either. I understand how you feel.”

…

By the time Nicole got back to the Imperial Garden, Evan was already waiting for her on the brown sofa. His deep-set eyes lingered on her frame upon seeing her return.

“You’re back! How’s the food at Levant Winery?”

His words carried a strong pang of jealousy, setting the green-eyed monster free in the living room.

Nicole nodded. “It was nice.”

“You don’t have to eat there anymore. You’d be able to savor the same dishes here, right at home.”

As soon as he said that, another figure entered the living room and nodded at Nicole politely. “Good day, Mrs. Seet. From now on, you can order food that you wish to have, and I shall have it prepared. I was a chef at Levant Winery, but I would be working at the Imperial Garden from now onwards. I can make all the signature dishes from the winery. Feel free to order whatever you like.”

Nicole was rendered speechless.

Evan actually poached Levant’s chef? How thoughtful of him.

Unfortunately, she would not be able to enjoy his kindness any longer. Just thinking about that made Nicole’s heart twinge with pain.

“Are you satisfied with this arrangement?”

“Yes.”

She replied rather flatly before heading to the bedroom upstairs.

Evan’s heart sank as he watched her leave. Was she really satisfied, or did she have other thoughts?

Over the course of dinner that evening, Nicole persisted in her indifference.

Evan made an effort to deshell some prawns and placed them into her bowl. “Have some more.”

Nicole glanced up at him. At that moment, she was conflicted. Before departing, should she leave Evan with happy memories to remember her by, or should she hit him exactly where it hurts?
