Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo Chapter 1217

Nina was surprised to see the caller ID.

Why is Chris calling me?

In the afternoon, Sheila told her that Chris did not actually find an assistant, and that he actually refused her help because he wanted to protect her.

Nina could not help but wonder if Chris was truly looking out for her, or that he hated her so much that he did not want her help even if he could not find an assistant?

She did not have the courage to decide which was the reason that led to his decision.

Love had the power to drive anyone to overthink, and to ruminate and second-guess every single detail.

Nina’s heart pounded as she looked at the caller ID. The surprise at seeing his name was undeniable. In the end, she hesitantly picked up the call.

“Hello—”

A familiar voice rang in Chris’ ears. He was stumped by the fact that her single word was enough to warm his heart.

“Nina, it’s me. Are you doing fine?”

Nine thought his voice sounded deeper than she remembered it to be. Maybe it’s because we haven’t talked in a long time. Nina’s heart skipped a beat. She had listened to the voice countless times in her dreams that it made her question the surreal moment.

“I— I am doing okay. How about you?”

Chris paused for a moment. “I’m fine too.”

Silence stretched between the two. They were equally excited to be hearing each other’s voice, but at the same time were at a loss of what to say.

In the end, Chris broke the silence. “Nina, I’m going back to the country for a business trip these few days. Are you available to hang out sometime?”

“Sure!” Nina answered in a heartbeat, then she silently cursed herself for being too outright with him. Then, she hurriedly added, “You’re my teacher after all. I should treat you to a meal. Just give me a call when you’re in town.”
