Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 535

Indeed, it was a residence worthy of the Duke himself.

“Nicole, this is where I live. Let me bring you inside.” As he said this, Levant extended his arm towards Nicole.

Nicole’s glanced at the man’s large and imposing hand but felt her heart pounding inside her chest. She had a feeling that she would be punished most severely by a certain someone if she accepted.

Bright-eyed, Nicole looked directly at the estate and asked, “Can I go inside now?” Without waiting for Levant to reply, she hurried in.

Levant was left behind with his hand in mid-air, which he retracted angrily. He quickly caught up to her to save himself the embarrassment.

The estate resembled a Renaissance painting. Everything from the layout to the hustle and bustle of servants tending to their chores felt surreal to Nicole.

Nicole stopped abruptly. She couldn’t bring herself to walk any further lest she destroyed the picturesque beauty of the place.

“What is it?” asked Levant suspiciously. He wondered why she came to such a sudden halt.

“This place is so majestic. How did my mother even get involved with all this?” asked Nicole as she gestured vaguely at her surroundings.

Nicole was so overwhelmed by the sights that she was star-struck, no matter where she looked.

She also felt extremely out of place.

Nicole’s mother was just the daughter of a middle-class businessman in Y City. To think that she had come here, to such an aristocratic place to seek answers made her feel weak in the knees.

Levant’s face broke into a dazzling smile. “It is magnificent, alright, but don’t forget that it’s also a place filled with people. Don’t think of its inhabitants as otherworldly or inaccessible. They also have emotions and desires. Like us, they’re very much human.”

That’s true. How else can you abandon my pregnant mother? thought Nicole bitterly.

Suddenly, she felt as if all the beauty and magnificence of the place were deeply flawed.

Levant took them all the way through the twisty gallery towards the guest wing. He also arranged accommodation for her bodyguards and found four maids to attend to her every need.

“If you need me, just let any of the maids know. I need to see to the Duke first.” With a curt nod, Levant departed.

“Alright.”
