Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 2051

Chapter 2051 Still Angry

Francesca glanced at her watch. “Ten minutes.” “Thank you!” Sloan followed Francesca to her car. “Mr. Lindberg sent us to protect you, Ms. Felch,” he added nervously. Francesca nodded. “Hmm. And?”

“A man in black intended to assault you two nights ago but we beat him.” Sloan spoke as if he was making a report to Sean.

“So it was you who have been helping me from the shadows! I’ve been wondering why it has been so peaceful lately. It appears that Chrono and his friends did not leave S Nation.” Realization dawned on Francesca.

Sloan nodded. “That’s right. That is why you must be careful and watch out for your safety.”

“I will, thank you,” Francesca said. “Did Danrique not summon you back?”

“He didn’t,” Sloan answered seriously. “We have been following you since the day you left and only found your whereabouts after several days of digging.”

Francesca’s expression hardened. “Who asked you to investigate me? Danrique?”

“Not at all!” Sloan explained hastily. “Sean had us protect you from the shadows, but we did not know where you are, so we just—”

“All right,” Francesca interrupted him. “Your mission is complete. You may return now.”

“No, we have not received the order to return,” Sloan protested solemnly. “Besides, our mission is not complete.”

“What mission?” Francesca asked casually.

“To… protect you.” Almost letting slip something secretive, Sloan changed tact at the critical moment. “Please don’t be angry with Mr. Lindberg, Ms. Felch. He seems to care for you very much.”

“If he cared for me, he wouldn’t have interminable ties with that Hazel.” Francesca grew angry at that thought. “If he cared for me, he would have flown to me long ago to explain instead of sending you to be his messengers.”

“No, it’s not like that—”

“Enough.” Francesca did not wish to speak further with Sloan. “Bring these men back to Xendale. Stop wasting your time here.”
