Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo Chapter 1612

Friendly Hug

Stephen surveyed the rowdy and chaotic scene that was playing out all around him. “All manner of unsavory sorts hang out in this bar, and that makes this a dangerous place for girls like you. It might be best to avoid coming here if you can help it.”

“Why? Are you worried about me? Worried that I might be taken advantage of?”

Rose winked at a stupefied Stephen who appeared at a loss as to how to respond.

Stephen had mixed feelings. If she were her, I’d definitely not allow anyone to harm her! But if she isn’t Nina, then what business is that of mine?

“It’s getting late. Let me see you home,” Stephen proposed.

“All right,” Rose readily agreed.

As they strolled along the moonlit sidewalk, Rose cast a glance his way and initiated a conversation.

“Do you spend a lot of time in K Nation?”

“No. I’m only here to find someone,” Stephen replied candidly.

“Find someone? Who?”

“I’m looking for a girl named Nina. Do you know her?” Stephen had his eyes firmly locked on her heavily made-up face.

Rose tapped a finger against her own lips as if she was deep in thought before she shook her head. “Nope, I don’t know her! Who’s she to you?”

Don’t know her?

What Stephen could infer from her expression alone was not enough for him to deduce whether she was telling the truth.

“She and I are friends.”

“Boyfriend and girlfriend?”

“No.”

“Why are you looking for her, then?”

The man suddenly stopped in his tracks. “Would you like to know?”

Hearing that, Rose was immediately on her guard. She then shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly. “You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to because I was just asking for the heck of it. Frankly, I’m not that interested in other people’s secrets.”

Stephen tactfully looked out for signs which might suggest deception but was left confounded. So, is she Nina, or is she not? If she is, then her performance is flawless. I can’t see a trace of deception.
