Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 1046

Maya didn’t say anything.

She turned to the empty room, then to the empty closet. I’m not really in a position to say anything right now. Daddy has already gone out of his way to show me that there’s no one else in here. That means that either I made a mistake, or that person has already hidden really well. There’s no point in asking under either circumstance.

“Oh, then rest well, daddy.”

“Okay.”

After Maya left, Evan closed the door and locked it before he headed into the washroom.

Nicole stared. An awkward smile crept up on her lips.

Evan frowned and demanded, “It’s late. Why did you sneak into my room?”

Nicole’s lips never said a word but the gears in her head were turning. I came in to check your pulse. I want to estimate when your poison will act up again, and learn how long you can survive.

Nicole hesitated for a moment before she forced a grin on and lied, “Mr. Seet, I-I was sleepwalking and went into the wrong room.”

Evan narrowed his eyes. “Sleepwalking? So you’re dreaming?” asked Evan as he approached her slowly and dangerously.

Nicole backed away. She didn’t know what Evan’s words meant, nor did she know what he was thinking.

“Well, since you’re dreaming, then let’s do it together.”

What the hell? I-is he saying that he wants to sleep with me?

Nicole hadn’t even really registered what Evan was saying before he dragged her into his arms. She struggled for a bit. She couldn’t break free, but her eyes soon shone with inspiration, so she asked, “Mr. Seet, you’re still not sure whether I am your wife, so it’s a little inappropriate for you to treat me this way, isn’t it?”

“I’m only acting this way because you served yourself up on a silver platter. Besides, now’s the perfect time to prove your words,” replied Evan. He picked her up immediately after and walked to their bed to lay her down gently on the soft bed. Seconds later, he was on top of her.

Nicole thought something was amiss. She laid in Evan’s arms and could feel his heart thumping quickly and healthily. The way he held her and kissed her showed that he was strong as well. There was no sign of him being poisoned, and it didn’t seem like his life was hanging by a thread.

What’s going on?

“Evan Seet, y-you weren’t poisoned, were you?” asked Nicole as she reached out to grab Evan’s wrist. She was going to check his pulse.
