Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 785

Nicole knew that Evan would want her to fill him in with the details. However, she couldn’t tell him the truth since Levant had threatened her with her father’s safety. Fortunately, she had come prepared.

“Lately, things have been great on my end. I have headed out for a meal with my assistant for a simple celebration. What about you? Why do you seem to be having a hard time lately? Is it because of your company?”

Evan nodded and denoted, “It’s not a big deal. I have everything under control.”

Nicole was silent at this.

Liar!

Even though Nicole had seen right through his lie, she was conscious that it was a white lie because he was worried that she would be concerned. Hence, she decided to stop poking her nose into his business. “Where are the little ones?”

“They have tucked themselves in. You should head over and take a shower immediately. It’s almost time for bed.”

“Sure.”

Nicole walked past Evan and headed upstairs, returning to their bedroom.

Staring at her departing figure, a sense of uncertainty flickered in his eyes; he was confused by the scent of tobacco on her dress. It didn’t make any sense since she had merely dined with her assistant.

Albeit faintly, Evan, who had always been sensitive toward scents, could detect the scent of tobacco that was exclusive to a certain someone.

It must have been a coincidence, right? Stop overthinking things, Evan! She’s the last person on Earth that you should suspect.

He chuckled and found that his thoughts were absurd.

Once he sorted out the things that he had in his mind, he brought himself upstairs and switched on his computer. Typing, he focused intently on his work.

Meanwhile, Nicole indulged herself in a hot bath. Trying to procure the aid of someone who would be familiar with the structure of Wicked Palace, she wanted someone to infiltrate the Palace and locate her father on her behalf.

Nevertheless, the only candidate that she could think of was herself. As she had stayed in Wicked Palace for some time back then, she was familiar with its structure. However, Levant would definitely take notice of the things that she was up to, the moment she made her trip to K Nation. If he took him somewhere else, it would be increasingly difficult to locate her father’s whereabouts.

Soon, she reached for her phone and called the maid, urging her, “Tell Lady Musgrave that he’s still in Wicked Palace. Get her to send someone who’s familiar with the structure of the Palace to infiltrate the place and locate him.”

“Lady Musgrave has already sent someone over to infiltrate the wicked palace. We’ll get in touch with you as soon as we have any updates on the situation.”

“Okay.”

After she hung up the call, Nicole let out another long sigh. She was pretty sure that she was the reason that her father had been imprisoned in Wicked Palace.

Levant would never let her off the hook easily. She was afraid that it would take more than a few meals with him to save her father.
