Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 1798

Chapter 1798 An Unlikely Proposition

“Ouch! Okay, Evan. I’ll release him, but you have to let me go first.” The color drained from Shermaine’s face as she did not expect such ungentlemanly conduct from Evan.

Fine. We’ll see how you’d handle it when I show you what I’m really capable of!

“You release him first!” Evan bellowed.

“Alright, alright.”

A furtive undercurrent slinked beneath the clarity of Shermaine’s eyes, and the corner of her lips curled up inconspicuously while she paid lip service to him. “I’ll take you to him. Just follow me.”

After she arrived in her own room with Evan, she approached the shelf and reached around the side to make a subtle twist upon the activating mechanism. The stone wall shifted with a grunt, and a secret entrance presented itself right before their very eyes.

“The one who impersonated Elias is trapped inside. Go on in, and you’ll be able to see him!”

Evan strained his eyes to look. He had no idea where this passage led and was, at the same time, wary about any potential trickery on the part of Shermaine. Hence, he made a very deliberate request. “You’re coming with.”

Shermaine’s brows perked up, a little surprised at the former’s vigilance, but she voiced no objections as that was what she had intended to do anyway.

So, Shermaine entered the secret passage alongside Evan under duress.

Meanwhile, the sound of combat greeted the trio led by Davin when they descended the mountain, and Davin was stunned to see Levant and Elias in the thick of it.

Levant is really doing everything he can to stall Elias so that I can have enough time to secure the antidote. It’s a shame that I came away empty-handed.

“Shall we have Mr. Levant pull out together with us, Mr. Davin?”

“There’s no hurry. It seems to me that Levant has the upper hand at present and is in no immediate danger. Let them continue at it for a while longer.”

“In that case, are we to watch by the sidelines?”

“Yes. Let us observe for now.”

Hence, Davin, Damien, and Draven hid and spectated from behind a rock.

Levant proved to be a stronger opponent than Elias had anticipated. A rare encounter in itself for him.
