Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 358

Nicole rubbed her fingers lightly as she thought about John’s words. She couldn’t help but feel that Evan had crossed a line this time—his actions had utterly humiliated her.

She looked up at Evan without a trace of fear on her face. “Mr. Seet, the Lane Corporation might be in dire straits right now, but I won’t sell my body because of that!”

“I haven’t played any of the emotional games you’ve accused me of playing. As for throwing myself at you, you can dream on!”

“…”

Evan froze. So much for John’s reminder—Nicole had completely misunderstood his words.

However, Evan took an issue with her denial of throwing herself at him…

Looking up at Nicole, he smiled blithely and said suddenly, “When you’re drunk, you do throw yourself at me, though.”

Nicole frowned, her cheeks flushing red with embarrassment.

“Evan Seet,” she snapped, “why exactly have you invited me here today?”

Seeing her furious expression, Evan coughed slightly.

“I called you here to talk about our company’s partnership. Let’s get serious!”

Nicole looked at him suspiciously. There was something off about Evan’s behavior today.

Could he be making use of their partnership to make a move on her?

That was quite unlikely. After all, Nicole had gotten drunk yesterday night, and it would have been a wonderful opportunity for Evan to take advantage of her. However, he hadn’t done anything. Perhaps he was contemptuous of her!

Nicole’s head buzzed with theories. Ultimately, she decided, it was better to keep her guard up around this man. Heaving a sigh, she sat down and started discussing the partnership contract with Evan.

As Nicole listed her requests, Evan agreed to them without even pausing to consider them carefully.

As the requests became more outrageous and Evan continued to approve them, Nicole started feeling a little perplexed.

Evan never engaged in a business deal that would cost him a loss. Why was he suddenly opening his wallet so generously in order to save a small, struggling company like hers?

Nicole suspected that he had an ulterior motive.

After the talks concluded, John came in with the contract. Seeing Evan lifted up the pen and signed his name on the contract, Nicole finally felt at ease.

That thin piece of paper was the Lane Corporation’s way out of their quagmire.

Nicole thanked Evan sincerely before placing that piece of paper into her bag carefully.

Looking up at him, she said, “Mr. Seet, I need to ask you for another favor. Maya wants to eat your spaghetti again. Can you teach me how to make it?”
