Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 2042

Chapter 2042 All The Places We Know

“I came to check in on you. What are you doing?” Maya stole a glance behind him and frowned. Things of all nature were strewn on his bedroom floor in a haphazard way that even she did not approve of.

Wilbur used to have an obsessive-compulsive disorder. He must be in a really bad shape for letting his room get to this state. Poor guy! Wilbur gazed placidly back at her. “I’m playing. What are you doing here?”

“Let’s take a break and have a chat instead?” “No! I don’t want to talk to annoying people.” Maya was not offended at all. “That’s fine. Maybe we can play a game?”

Wilbur’s interest perked up at once though he tried hard to conceal his curiosity. “What kind of game?” Maya’s eyes twinkled mysteriously. “Let me in and I’ll tell you.”

After a moment’s hesitation, Wilbur nodded and stood aside.

She sighed as inconspicuously as she could at the sight of the unfinished jigsaw puzzle on the floor.

What is this? “Suitable for ages three to seven?” This is too childish even for Joy and Zayden!

“Were you putting together a jigsaw puzzle?” Maya asked with feigned interest.

He nodded. “Would you like to join me?”

She agreed since it provided her with the opportunity to spend time with him in the hopes of jolting his memory.

“I would love to. Let’s work on the piece together.”

After taking their seats on the carpet, Wilbur pushed half of his pile to her. “You work on these. We’re not having dinner until we’re done!”

Maya took her pieces and allowed several minutes of occupied puzzle-solving to settle in before speaking again. “Wilbur, do you recall any of the places we’ve been to?”

Wilbur jumped slightly at the question before nodding like a nervous hen pecking for food.

“You do, don’t you?” Her eyes gleamed expectantly. “Could you tell me where we’ve been?” Hopefully, I’ll be able to trigger him to recall something!
