Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 1034

Of course he was willing to take care of Nicole. He’d been dreaming of meeting her again and promising to do right by her.

But there was a slight problem.

The woman saw right through his concerns and sighed.

“But she doesn’t want to see you, nor does she approve of you taking care of her. You’ll need to solve this dilemma on your own. I’ll give you her location and let you figure this out.”

“Make sure you read that book as well. Every detail you find in there is the result of my efforts, so let’s settle this amicably.”

The woman stretched her hand out expectantly.

Evan glanced at the thick notebook on the table and mulled over his decision. Shortly after that, he took out a gold card and slid it across the table towards her.

“How much is in here?” asked the woman. She was curious about his fabled wealth.

“As much as you need. You’ve done so much for Nicole and there is no way to put a price on that. The card has no limits, so feel free to use it as you see fit.”

The woman’s eyes widened in surprise. For reasons unknown, she felt the card weigh heavily in her palm, like she couldn’t lift it.

“Don’t worry, I will not use the money here frivolously. It will only be used to help people in need. Consider this a joint effort of charity where you and Nicole provide the funds, while Wesley and I provide the services.”

Evan looked at her and nodded appreciatively.

After that, the woman gave Evan an address on a slip of paper, along with a word of caution to not startle Nicole.

“I’ll leave her to you. Wesley and I cannot tarry any longer. You should find someone to secretly keep an eye on her, then figure out how to get her to go back with you.”

The woman wore a look of faint surprise on her face, but she continued. “In fact, I forgot to mention that Nicole has missed you dearly. She hasn’t stopped thinking about you, but her reluctance likely stems from fear. I think she’s afraid that her illness will affect you somehow.”

The word ‘affect’ triggered a strong reaction in Evan, as if a knife had been plunged into him, twisted, and yanked out again.

He had been through thick and thin with Nicole, but did she not trust him? Does she think that the burden of her illness is too much for me to bear?

Does she still consider me an outsider deep down?
