Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 1898

Chapter 1898 I Want Two Million

The moment Wilbur stepped into the living room upon returning to the Simpson residence, he was greeted by the sight of Rodney smoking in the living room with a dark expression on his face.

“Dad,” he greeted.

Rodney lifted his head and glanced at him. “You just came back?”

“Yeah.”

Rodney cut straight to the chase, announcing, “There’s a huge project at the company that requires you to do the negotiation. Your public display of affection on the filming set was very effective. Everyone in the business world is now convinced that you’ll be Evan’s son-in-law soon enough. Hence, the chances of you cinching the project are high.”

“What project is it?” Wilbur inquired.

Reaching out, Rodney snagged a stack of documents off the table and handed them to him. “Here, read through them. While you’re making the headlines with Maya, we’ll seize the opportunity to cinch a few such projects. Then, the company’s profits for the second half of the year will be secure. Also, I’d like to remind you not to concentrate all your efforts on filming and neglect the company’s matters. You must know how to strike while the iron is hot and take advantage of Seet Group’s popularity. When you go over to their house, take a few pictures with Maya and give them to the paparazzi. That will give you a leg up in the business world. Do you understand?”

Wilbur said nothing for a heartbeat, for he had never thought of doing so.

He had never thought of taking advantage of his popularity while dating Maya. In fact, he even felt that it was rather despicable to do such a thing.

However, all that mattered to Rodney was profits. Only when he could generate more profits for the company would his position in this house remain secure.

After all, he wasn’t the only son in the household. There was still Nicholas and his stepmother, Mabel, who killed his mother.

If he didn’t create enough value for the company and couldn’t live up to Rodney’s satisfaction, his position in the man’s heart, the company, as well as the Simpson family would be in jeopardy.

Thus, he still murmured an agreement despite the aversion within him. “I understand.”

“Great! As long as you can manage the company well and bring it to greater heights, my position will be yours in the future. You’ll also be the head of the Simpson family!”

“Thank you, Dad.”

That conversation happened to have been overheard by Nicholas and Janice, who were making their way downstairs.
