Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 1887

Chapter 1887 Buying Time

When Nicole and Evan caught sight of Davin upon entering the living room, both of them were surprised. Logically speaking, the underground palace should be busy at this time. Why is he free to come over?

“Is something the matter, Davin?” Evan asked, cutting straight to the chase.

In response, Davin chuckled sheepishly. “Evan, I’m indeed not one for random social calls. I’m here to seek your help.” Then, he explained Steven’s stipulation.

“Have Sally and Kyle become engaged?” Astonishment flooded Nicole.

“That’s what Steven said. He wants an answer from me in ten days. Otherwise, he won’t allow me to use the underground palace anymore. What do you two think about this, Evan, Nicole?”

Nicole asserted that the opinion of the parties involved was most crucial. As long as Sally and Kyle had no objections, she had none either. However, she was afraid that Sophia would be displeased.

After all, the matter of Sally faking a pregnancy was still a thorn in the latter’s flesh.

Evan likewise felt that a sudden engagement was too hasty. He pondered for a while before giving Davin an idea.

“How about this? On the tenth day, tell Steven that the Seet family has agreed to the engagement between Sally and Kyle. Also, inform him that the Seet family plans to make it a huge affair. Therefore, time is needed to make the necessary preparations.”

“Are you thinking of buying time on the preparations?” Nicole queried.

“Yes. We’ll prepare for two months, and Mom’s anger will have likely abated by then. At that time, we’ll host the engagement party. The timing is just right.”

“What if Steven finds it too long and doesn’t want to wait? He was in a frenzy when he came and sought me out today. I think he’s straining at the leash to settle this matter immediately.”

Nina, who was listening at the side, chimed in with her analysis, “Uncle Davin, he’s Sally’s father, so he should be most eager to see the engagement party be a huge affair. After all, that shows that the Seet family attaches great importance to his daughter. If he’s impatient, ask him why he’s in such a hurry to dispose of her like she’s just a piece of trash and if his daughter’s dignity doesn’t matter. Also, tell him that he should consider his daughter’s interests as a father. Having it as a grand affair will only benefit them.”
