Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 1823

Chapter 1823 The Deal

Levant watched in amusement as Shermaine flipped the script and caused Davin’s big move to backfire.

He cleared his throat and strode over.

“I’d say, don’t have him go back just yet. Send Jensen and Darius back with the antidote for Faye and also have them check in with Aunt Sophia and Uncle Jonathan to set their minds at ease. Davin’s molly-coddling as an uncle isn’t good for Maya’s personal growth. It may be better for her to go through the paces herself. After all, there’s surely no way for Davin to follow her into the Simpson residence in the event Maya got herself married to Wilbur now, right?”

Seeing that Levant was speaking up for him, Davin went along with an agreeable nod.

“Right. Of course. Think he’s got a point there, Evan. Maya’s still got an older sister like Nina to look out for her! Besides, if she can’t manage it, there’s still Dad, Mom, and Kai. With Mom’s short-fuse, she’ll never stand by while Maya is being bullied. So I think… we don’t have to worry too much about it, and there isn’t any reason for me to head back earlier either!”

The reticent Evan regarded Davin for a while. “All right. It’s getting late. We ought to head back!”

With that, the former turned and started his descent from the mountain.

Shermaine did not hasten to catch up. Instead, she glared at the pesky Levant and Davin for spoiling things for her.

If I’m able to somehow convert these two potholes into stepping stones, won’t that bring me that much closer to success with Evan? Now, what would they fancy, and how might I be able to win them over?

Being fixated upon so blatantly made Davin and Levant squirm.

“Why are you staring at us like that?” Davin asked.

“I was just wondering, what exactly is the deal with you two? Why are you both being so detestable?” Shermaine rolled her eye at them before she rescinded her gaze.

“Us? Detestable? You’ve got some cheek talking like that after what you did to have my brother turn out this way. To think you’d even try to pass yourself off as someone else’s wife? Not only are you detestable, but you’re also completely indecent, utterly depraved, and categorically despicable. I can’t even begin to describe how you are!” Davin let her know in no uncertain terms what he thought of her.

At first slack-jawed, Shermaine bounced back with a serene smile. “Say whatever you like! It doesn’t bother me, so long as I’m able to get what I want!”
