Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 296

“Davin Seet! I don’t care. I want the Northern Suburbs development project. If you don’t agree to it, I won’t let you take the kid home.”

With that said, she looked at Evan and continued, “I’m not satisfied with this apology. Meet with me only when he manages to locate his sincerity somewhere in his soul!”

Having said that, she stormed back into the house.

“Hey! Sheep, where are your manners? Did you just walk away? Aren’t you supposed to invite us in for a drink?”

Neither Kyle nor Juan knew about the incident with the name, so they went to ask Davin about it.

Juan queried, “Uncle Davin, why did you call her Sheep?”

At that question, Davin could not help but laugh. He pulled Juan closer and replied, “Let me tell you a story…”

With a smirk, Davin said, “Once upon a time, Davin and Sheila went to the same kindergarten. One day, the teacher said she would reward star stickers to those who finished their works quickly. To get her star stickers, Sheila missed out on a stroke in her family name and drew a sheep in place of her given name. When the teacher gave them back their works, she was confounded by the name. She asked, ‘Who is Sheep?’ And that was how Sheep became Sheila’s name.”

When he was done with his story, he gazed at Kyle and Juan in a serious manner. “So the moral of the story is, don’t ever misspell your name or use short forms in place of your full name. Got it?”

Kyle nodded solemnly.

On the other hand, Juan sighed. “Ms. Sheila was dumb. She should’ve drawn a shell instead. Shells are much cooler.”

Davin was speechless.

Realizing that Juan made a good point, he stored Juan’s words away in his mind, planning to ask Sheila about it once the opportunity came.

Beside them, Evan said, “But why did I hear that it was your idea for Sheila to write her name in that way? I remember that both of you were desk mates, and the two of you even fought after school because of it.”

“Rumors. Evan, what you’ve heard is a rumor. Sheila only said that to avoid embarrassing herself. She’s slandering my reputation! Look at me. I’m the embodiment of honesty and politeness. I’m a gentleman. Do I look like someone who would do those things?”

The look Evan gave him was as though he was looking at an alien. Finally, he replied in a thoughtful tone, “Yes.”

“Daddy’s right,” Kyle agreed.
