Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 1822

Chapter 1822 A Silver Tongue

“Oh, there you are, Evan. I’ve been looking all over for you!”

The unexpected entrance of Davin made Shermaine’s heart sink. Why did he show up at this critical moment? Is he out to stir up trouble?

“Is something up?” Evan asked.

Davin nodded in earnest. “We’ve received word from Y City. Dad and Mom wanted us to hurry back. Also, there are some matters at the office that you must attend to! Maya, too, seems to be making progress with Wilbur. Knowing how complicated his family dynamics are, I wonder if she, with her innocence and naivety, could handle it.”

He then continued, “Then there’s Nina, who’s looking to host a product launch of some sort. There’s been some development between her and Stephen as well… All in all, there are heaps of stuff for you to sort out back in Y City! So, Evan, when do you plan to head back?”

Davin cooked up a whole bunch of concoctions with the aim of getting Evan away and drawing up boundaries between the latter and Shermaine.

Shermaine quietly exhaled. As expected, he’s really up to no good here. But there’s no way I’ll be letting Evan return to Y City, ever.

On Daemonic Mount, she could just about manage the few people around Evan. However, were he to return to Y City, she would have to deal with his parents, children, and staff, among others. No amount of magic, in the form of eloquence or secret techniques, could prevent Evan’s suspicions from festering when everyone began to accuse her of deception.

So how can I convince him to stay?

“Are we going back so soon, Evan? The scenery here on Daemonic Mount is just marvelous. We should stay on for a while longer!” said Shermaine to the unspeaking Evan.
