Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 2007

Chapter 2007 It Is Mine

Wilbur grabbed it happily, glanced at the big money in his hand, turned around, and happily handed it to Maya, wanting to buy crab cakes to eat.

Maya took the money and, after seeing the words “fool’s money” written on it, quietly accepted the money. Then, just as quietly, she added some special seasoning to the crab cakes meant for Zayden.

After they were ready, she placed the cakes in front of the children. “Okay. They are ready to eat. Go ahead, try them.”

Wilbur took a piece from the delicate plate in front of him and ate it with relish. Joy took a bite and could not stop exclaiming how delicious it tasted. Saying that Maya’s culinary skills were beyond compare, she heaped tons of praises upon her.

Zayden watched them eat, drooling greedily, and could not wait to take a piece and stuff it into his mouth. After chewing for a few seconds, he suddenly spat it out.

“Bah! Bah! What kind of taste is this? Why is it so bad?”

“It does not taste bad. It tastes great!” Wilbur said innocently.

“This is exactly how crab cakes should taste like. I think they’re yummy.” Joy took another piece.

Zayden was dumbfounded for a moment. He glanced around thoughtfully and then took a piece from Wilbur’s plate. After taking a bite, he understood what was going on.

“Maya, why are my crab cakes different from theirs?”

“Well, they are eating Maya’s brand of crab cakes. You are eating something different.”

“What brand is mine, then? They are sour and bitter. Is it named ‘sour and bitter’ brand?”

“No, yours are called the ‘fool’s brand.’ With one hundred ‘fool’s money’, that’s all that you can buy.”

Zayden was at a loss for words.

Joy, you are taking Wilbur’s side!

Zayden realized that if he was disrespectful to Wilbur, Maya would go against him.
