Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 1747

Chapter 1747 The Engagement Party

Maya frowned upon hearing Janice’s words. Is she living with him in the Simpson residence now?

While she turned to look at Wilbur, the man cast an annoyed glance at Janice and said, “Go home first. I need to speak with Maya.”

Janice was undeterred. “Is it work-related?” she asked with a saccharine smile.

“It is.”

“Oh, that’s wonderful! Maybe I can stay and listen too. It’ll be good prenatal education for our baby, don’t you think? Your dad was just saying last night that he’s going to let our baby take over the Simpson family’s business when they grow up. It never hurts to start the education early.”

Maya suppressed the urge to roll her eyes. Prenatal education? What a lame excuse. She obviously wants to stay around.

However, she could not help but wonder if what Janice said about Wilbur’s father was true. Did Old Mr. Simpson already decide to let the child inherit the business? He sure is generous to his unborn grandchild. But there’s a chance that the baby isn’t even Wilbur’s… Although I guess the baby is still technically a Simpson if the biological father does turn out to be Wilbur’s brother… Does Wilbur not have any objections? Is he going to stand idly by?

In spite of her puzzlement, Maya was unwilling to voice her questions in front of Janice. I guess I should leave and come back after she’s gone.

Just as she was going to excuse herself, Wilbur commanded Janice sternly, “I need to discuss something important with Maya, so I need you to leave now!”

For a second, Janice appeared affronted. However, the look disappeared just as quickly as it came, and she smiled in understanding.

“Sure, I was just kidding about staying. Have a good chat with Ms. Maya,” she said, stopping on her way out to look at Maya. “We’re holding our engagement party three days later. It’d be great if you could come and witness our union, Maya.”

She sounded sincere, but Maya had a distinct feeling that Janice was establishing her dominance over Wilbur. “Back off, he’s mine,” was what she understood from her gaze.

“Sure, I’ll be there,” Maya agreed readily.

“Great! Okay, don’t let me hold you two up.” Janice then told Wilbur, “I’m heading back to cook now, so remember to come home early tonight!”
