Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 1045

Maya stared as Evan took everything to the second floor. She assumed that her father was extremely busy and was going through a rough time, and that got her determined to create even better recipes for her father.

Maya turned around and went back to the kitchen to cook for herself. She put the cooked food aside and washed her hands. She was about to chow down when she saw Evan taking her dishes over and eating away happily.

“Daddy, did you eat the meal I made just now?”

“I finished it!”

“Huh?”

Maya was so flabbergasted that her eyes bulged as she stared at him. When did daddy become such a glutton?

“Your cooking is getting better, Maya. Looks like I will have to get you a food plaza and let you manage it.”

“I don’t want to manage a food plaza, daddy. I want to do something else.”

“What do you have in mind?”

“I haven’t decided yet. I’ll let you know once I figure it out.”

“Okay.”

Evan chatted with Maya while eating the delicious meal she made. It didn’t take him long before he finished eating everything.

Maya stared at her father as he walked up the stairs. She later turned to the empty plates in front of her and the empty plates that Evan brought down from the second floor. She couldn’t quite put a finger on it, but she felt like something was off.

Did daddy really eat this much just because it’s tasty?

Nicole was ecstatic about being able to eat the dishes Maya prepared and peeping at Maya in the house.

The only thing off was that she was gripped with worry whenever she thought about Evan’s medical condition. She would toss and turn at night and had trouble sleeping.

I wonder if the poison is hurting Evan, and who knows when Wesley will be back to treat Evan? Will Evan last long enough until Wesley returns?

Nicole sat up anxiously. She deliberated for a long time before she decided to peek at Evan and see if he was asleep. She would find an opportunity to secretly check his pulse. That would give me a better understanding of how his physical condition is.

Nicole snuck to Evan’s room and placed her ear against his door. She listened for a while, but she never heard anything, so she assumed that Evan was asleep.

Maya thought about it for a while before replying, “Yeah.”

Evan got out of his bed and opened the door for Maya. That was when he realized that the passcode had been entered and the door was unlocked. He recalled the familiar figure he saw running into the washroom and immediately guessed what had happened.

Evan opened the door and let Maya in. The first thing she did was to scan the place. It was obvious that Maya was searching for something.

“Maya, it’s late. Why did you come look for me?”

“Daddy, I-I saw someone entering your room. I don’t recall a maid that thin in the Imperial Garden, and that got me worried, so I came in to see if everything is okay. Daddy, where is the person who snuck in?” asked Maya curiously when she saw that there was no one in the room.

Evan knew that the person Maya saw was Nicole, but Nicole had hidden away. It was obvious that Nicole didn’t want Maya to see her like that, so Evan lied, “There’s no one in here. I’ve been sleeping soundly the entire time, and no one came in.”

“But I definitely saw… something.”

Maya recalled the figure she saw earlier. It was as clear as day, and she was certain that she didn’t make any mistake.

However, Evan insisted that no one was around. He even opened the closet in front of Maya to show her that no one else was in the room. “See, Maya?” said Evan, “There’s no one else in my room.”
