Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 777

With an indifferent tone, Evan muttered, “You can be straightforward. There’s no need for us to speak privately.”

Susan shot a glimpse at Nicole and hesitated. A while later, she turned to gaze at Evan with sincerity in her eyes.

“Evan, when I was burnt while saving you, you’d promised me that you would give me something in return. Back then, I’d asked you to marry me. I’m aware that you like Ms. Lane, so we’ll dismiss the wedding. Can you promise me something else?”

Susan was aware that threatening Evan with death was no longer useful, in terms of getting Evan to fall in love with her. Thus, she chose to take a strategic retreat in order to advance in her plan.

Evan remained silent.

Nicole carefully mulled over Susan’s words. Does this mean that she doesn’t want to marry Evan anymore? Or does she have something else lying in store for us?

Similar to Nicole, Evan was bewildered. He stared at Susan with apathetic eyes. “What is it?”

“Evan, I know that your company invests in the film industry. Your company is about to purchase Border Films. Since I can’t get your love, I want to have my chance at becoming a popular actress. That way, I’ll be able to have a better life. Can you fulfill this wish for me?”

She wants to act in a show and become a star?

When did Susan have thoughts like that?

Her request stunned Nicole.

Evan looked at Susan as a hint of worry flitted across his eyes. It was true that Susan was a student of the performing arts, and it was not as if he could not agree to her request. However, to save him back then, Susan’s face, body, and arms had burn marks. Although her face had undergone skin grafting and had recovered, her arms and body still had scars. That was why she was unsuitable to become an actress.

Sensing his worry, Susan pulled up her sleeves to show him the horrifying scars that were wrapped around her arm like a centipede.

Instantly, Evan was struck with guilt. Her scars are because of me.

“Evan, look. My arms and body are littered with scars, so I won’t be able to take on many kinds of films. I’m only suitable for period dramas, where such body parts would be hidden. Seeing as such, can you please invest in a period drama?”

Investing in a period drama was nothing to Evan.

Evan was more than willing to fulfill this wish of Susan’s if it meant that she would stop harassing him.
