Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo Chapter 1613
Day And Night
Stephen rescinded his gaze and let out an extended sigh before he regarded her earnestly. “I have my reasons for getting close to her.”
“And that is?”
“She… You should head back first. I’ll explain it to you in due time.” With that, he strode off toward the hotel lobby.
Melanie was fuming when she watched him depart.
What good reasons could there possibly be? All the men in the world are all the same. They’re all lustful bstard. Their wandering eyes are drawn to the next foxiest lady that they can lay their hands on! Explain it in due time? That’s bllshit! No, I have to keep a close eye on him.
Melanie clenched her fists as she sorted out her mind.
Since there’s no news of Nina for so many days, I bet she’s dead! The money spent by whoever called a hit on her certainly did not go to waste, as those who did the job were so thorough that they even took care of the body. If we are still unable to find her body in the next few days, I should persuade Stephen to give up and go home! I shouldn’t wait until the point we’re stuck with this little hussy that we can’t shake off. Right. I have to keep a tighter rein on this situation.
With that in mind, she picked up her pace to catch up.
Out in the dark, Levant looked curiously at Evan.
“What’s your take on this?”
Evan remained silent.
“Rose has probably set her sights on Stephen and wants him for herself. Looks every bit like a love triangle to me. But if Rose is actually Nina, there must be more to it than meets the eye. Otherwise, Nina wouldn’t have tried so hard to put on a show like that.”
“Sounds about right. Nina was taken while she was paying her respects to Chris, and whoever took her must be connected to these two,” Evan said.
“Are you suggesting that Nina is seeking vengeance?”
“Great. Recently, I’ve been able to get some quality rest at night, so I’m well and alert during the day. The day shift suits me best,” Jeremy said.
Damien had no objections either. “I’m okay for nighttime, as I enjoy admiring the moon. Plus, I won’t be lonely since the moon can keep me company.”
“Now, aren’t you the die-hard romantic? Moonlight, really? Still in a mood to admire the moon after having broken up with your girlfriend?” Jensen shot him a look.
“Shut up. Do you have a problem with that? How about we switch it up then? You take the night, and I cover daytime.”
“No, I have no problems at all! Daytime for me, and nighttime for you, it is.”
“That settles it, then shall we—”
As Darius was about to wrap it up, Draven drove a foot into his behind. “You got me working both day and night without rest. Do you think I’m superhuman? Do you reckon that I don’t have to sleep? How heartless can you get?”
“Since you’re the main person in charge, I’m worried that you’ll be dragged down with us if you don’t supervise us at all times! I’m doing that for your sake.” Darius made it out like he was genuinely doing it with his counterpart’s interests at heart.
