Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 1913

Chapter 1913 Heart To Heart

Evan, Nicole, Joy, and Maya returned to Imperial Garden in high spirits only to realize that Nina had not returned. “Is Nina home?” Nicole asked the butler. “It’s awfully late.”

“She hasn’t come home yet. Perhaps she has an appointment?” Maya took out her phone. “Let me call her, Mom.”

At that moment, Nina’s heart was thumping wildly from the story she had just heard. The ringing of the phone served to give her a respite from the grief that overwhelmed her. Upon realizing that it was Maya who was calling, she answered the phone promptly.

“Nina, are you on a date? We’re worried for you for being out so late.” Nina merely grunted.

“Who are you out with?” Maya asked, intrigued. “A guy or a girl?”

Nina glanced at the seat across from her. “It’s a guy.”

“A guy! Who is it? Is it Stephen? Is he back?”

“Yes, he is.”

“I’ll let you guys catch up then. See you back home.”

Maya hung up and relayed the information to her parents. Evan assured Nicole that their daughter would be safe in Stephen’s care.

Nicole nodded and followed her husband up the stairs after wishing Maya good night.

“Isn’t Stephen away on a mission to investigate Chris’ death?” Maya muttered to herself. “Has he found something?” I will ask Nina about it when she comes home.

Back at the restaurant, Nina remained as still as a statue after ending the call with Maya.
