Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 1376

Chapter 1376 Change

Is it because I was getting too close to Nina?

But I’m just doing someone a favor. I have to keep my promise!

“You’ve misunderstood, Mrs. Seet. I’ve never thought of wanting Ms. Nina to favor me.”

“You did so many things when you ‘never thought of it.’ Wouldn’t Nina have fallen for you if it was actually your intention, then?”

He was at a loss for words after hearing that.

Meanwhile, John took a glance at Nicole and then at Stephen. Walking toward the latter, he muttered, “You might not know this, but Ms. Nina is someone who has always placed great value in relationships. If you want to be with her, settle your own matters first. And if you don’t want to be with her, please keep a distance from her. Don’t show her how capable you are or how gentle and considerate you can be. It’ll only give people the wrong impression.”

Hearing that, Stephen’s face darkened.

“Think about it. Don’t you think what I said makes sense? People should know their limits when interacting with others. This is the basis of keeping the peace between many relationships. Don’t you know that it’s a disaster if people get too close?” John continued.

Stephen stayed silent for a while before finally speaking. “I understand what you’re saying, Mrs. Seet. I’ll pay closer attention next time.”

“I hope that you’ll be happy with your girlfriend, and I hope that you understand my feelings as a mother.”

“Thank you. I’ll head back to work now.”

“All right.”

Stephen took in a deep breath once he left the president’s office. For the rest of the afternoon, he noticed an uncomfortable sensation in his chest.

He understood what John had said earlier, but he still felt hesitant. Why am I hesitating? He was unsure of the answer himself.

After getting off from work, Stephen drove around in his car with no destination in mind. Feeling irritated by his chaotic thoughts, he subconsciously drove to a bar.

Upon stopping, he rolled down the window and stared at the busy bar, memories suddenly flooding his mind.

He had met Nina for the first time here at this bar. Back then, he was the one who saved her.
