Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 256

Flashing him a stiff smile, she racked her brain and churned out an excuse.

“Mr. Seet, you’ve got the wrong idea. I’ve been applying quite a few acupuncture treatments to my patients lately, so I just need some exercise to soothe my sore limbs.”

“Oh, really? Should I get you a therapist to give you a massage?”

At the same time, Evan sized her up with a crafty look.

Sensing the bad intention from his expression, it took Nicole no more than a second to understand what he was trying to imply.

“It’s not necessary. I can continue doing exercise at home later.” With that, she gave him another stiff smile before spinning around and taking to her heels out to the courtyard as if she were running for her life.

It didn’t occur to her that Evan would actually turn around all of a sudden.

Should she continue pestering him for the several thousand?

At the moment, two voices emerged in her head. One of them was urging her to go for it because her hard work deserved to be rewarded and she needed respect for her effort.

Meanwhile, the other one was dissuading her because she would be able to make more money from her clinic in the future. If she continued pestering Evan for the money, not only might he not pay her readily, but it might also get her into more trouble in the future.

By the time she returned to the backyard, she had yet to make up her mind.

When she entered the room she found the four kids frantically dispersing from where they had been gathering. They scrambled back to their little chairs while sneaking peeks at her from time to time.

“What’s going on?”

Judging from how flustered the kids looked, Nicole sensed there was something fishy.

Juan, being as quick-witted as usual, giggled. “Mommy, we’re thinking of joining a talent class tomorrow since it’s a Saturday and we don’t have to go to school.”

“Talent class?”

“Yes, Mommy. We would like to learn some talents,” Maya chimed in in an adorable voice.

“Where are you kids going to learn it?”

Nicole was stressed out in an instance at the thought of taking some time off her hectic schedule to enroll the kids to the talent classes.

Knowing they were a bunch of bright kids, she believed they would be able to learn anything just as fine by watching videos online but even so, they would still need the respective musical instruments or equipment to practice their skills. But then again, she really couldn’t afford those with the meagre sum left in her bank account.

“Mommy, you may work at the clinic tomorrow because I’ll be teaching them tomorrow. I’ve already moved all my musical instruments and other stuffs here from Hillside Villa.”

Staring at Kyle with gratitude, Nicole reached out to caress his head. “Kyle is such a good big brother.”
