Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 2023

Chapter 2023 I Believe In Him

Night fell. Sheila and Davin started carrying out their plan. They drove to Muir residence. They saw Layla sitting decadently on a semi-curved coffee-colored couch when they entered the house.

“Mom!” Sheila’s voice brought Layla back to her senses.

“Sheila and Davin, why did you come?” Layla asked.

“We… We’ve come to talk to Dad about the Southern suburbs,” Sheila replied.

“I see. Your Dad is not at home. He’s gone out.”

“Out? Where did he go?” Sheila continued to ask. Did he go to the lab?

“He said it was a social gathering. He must have gone drinking with someone.” Layla’s gaze seemed evasive as she lowered her head.

Her hands kept rubbing against her thighs. Sheila felt something was off as she noticed Layla’s awkward behavior.

What’s wrong with Mom? Didn’t Dad go to a social gathering?

She asked cautiously, “Mom, did Dad really go to have a drink?”

“Of course!” Layla stood up uneasily upon saying that. “You two haven’t eaten, right? I will go ask the kitchen to prepare more food. Let’s have dinner together later.”

Sheila stopped Layla. “Mom, it’s fine. Since Dad is not home, we will come again tomorrow.”

Layla did not insist either. “All right.”

Sheila immediately walked out. Her pace fastened after they walked past the main door. Davin was chasing her. “Please slow down. Why the hurry?”

“We are going to the lab now! Hurry up. Let’s go as fast as we can.”

Davin could not wrap his head around it. “Why the rush? Your Mom seemed to know something. Maybe your Dad didn’t go for a drink, but he went to the lab. If we go over there now, we might run into him. Our plan will be exposed then.”
