Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 523

Nicole felt her heart rate rise.

I have a bad feeling about this.

Panicked, she turned around to look at Evan. He was looking down at her intently.

“So, tell me, what’s the consequence of going on a date and drinking with another man?”

“Drinking… hold on a second.” Nicole finally wrapped her head around what was going on.

“Yes, do go on.”

“You… you shameless man! You spiked the wine?” She spluttered.

“Me? It’s not really my thing to play dirty tricks like that. In fact, there is no need for me to employ such tactics, don’t you agree?”

He ripped his mask off to reveal that elegant, charming face of his.

“Evan, you’re finally showing your face.”

Nicole gritted her teeth as she uttered those words. She could feel her body heat up as if she were in a sauna. Even her forehead was covered in sweat.

The touch of Evan’s fingers grazing her face felt cold but stimulating – something she desperately needed at that moment. His gaze was firm but gentle.

All that Nicole could think of was Evan’s touch.

Whatever drug was in her wine, it was strong and it hit hard.

However, Nicole did not want to give in. She suppressed the urge to embrace Evan, brushing his hand away.

“Evan is already dead to me. There’s no use in doing this to me. Sir, who are you, even?”

Why didn’t you tell me that you are still alive?

Why are you just following me around, donning that scary mask of yours? Why are you avoiding my questions and brushing away my suspicions? Nicole’s hopes of a happy reunion with him had been crushed again and again, leaving her with nothing but disappointment and frustration.

It must be fun, playing with my feelings.

Alright then, guess I’ll play along with you. I’ll play your little game too.

Seeing the sorrow in her eyes, Evan could tell how devastating the news of his death was to her.

His heart throbbed.

He knew all too well that her feelings for him were genuine and passionate.
