Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 1746

Chapter 1746 A Bad Penny Turning Up

“Why did you stop the security guards, Mr. Tierney?” the receptionist asked, unable to suppress her curiosity.

Jeff lowered his head to look at her. “You’ve only been working here for a month, so there are a lot of things that you’re still unaware of. I’ll only tell you this—don’t stop Janice when she comes to see Mr. Simpson. At least, not unless the engagement becomes a sure thing set in stone, got it?”

“But why?”

“It’s complicated. You don’t need to know. Just do as I say, okay?”

Though still dubious, the receptionist nodded. “Okay, got it.”

Worried about his boss being sandwiched between the two ladies, Jeff hurried upstairs.

Meanwhile, one step ahead of Janice, Maya stood face-to-face with Wilbur. Only after surveying her countenance and attire did he ascertain that she was, in fact, Maya.

“Maya?” he called, blinking.

“Surprised to see me?” Maya remarked. “Is my presence not welcomed here?”

Wilbur contained his astonishment, his expression changing into a neutral one. “Why are you here?”

“Well…” Wondering how to phrase the question she had in mind, she glanced at the chair beside them.

The man followed her gaze and offered, “Have a seat!”

Maya complied before speaking up. “I’m here because I saw the news that you’re about to be engaged three days later, and I was reminded of how I hit you over the head with a wine bottle some time ago. So I just wanted to check on your recovery, wondering if that incident left a scar that would affect your appearance.”

She scanned his face carefully. “Well, it looks like my worries are redundant. There’s no scarring from what I can see.”
