Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 956

After leaving the shopping mall, she spotted a drinks shop opposite. As she suddenly had an urge to drink something, she walked over with her bags in hand.

She ordered her favorite melon-flavored milk tea and sat down in a quiet corner to wait.

The waitress only served her the drink after a long while.

“Ma’am, here’s your milk tea.”

“Why did it take such a long time?”

“The drinks we sell here are different from the others. Have a taste of it!”

When Nicole picked it up and took a sip, she could not help but frown. It tasted quite weird, unlike the drink she had in the past.

“Is this the melon-flavored milk tea?”

The waitress stared directly into her eyes. Instead of replying, she merely smiled and left.

Nicole’s brows furrowed. She kept scrutinizing her milk tea, thinking that there was something strange with the waitress’s smile.

Is there something wrong with this drink? Not daring to finish the milk tea, she stood up and hurriedly left the shop.

When the bodyguards saw her rushing out so quickly, they worriedly asked if something had happened to her.

The waitress’s strange smile surfaced in her mind again, making her feel immensely uneasy.

She softly mumbled, “Nothing. Let’s go home.”

After returning to Imperial Garden, she felt extremely exhausted and was overcome with a strong urge to sleep. She started to wonder if the milk tea had been spiked.

She laid on the bed and soon began to dream.

This was a very drowsy sleep. She even had a nightmare that was plagued with terrifying images.

It was already nighttime when she woke up. Evan was sitting beside the bed and watching her silently.

As she stared at Evan, his face suddenly morphed into Zane’s face. She sat up abruptly and exclaimed in shock, “Why are you here?”

Evan frowned. “I’m waiting for you to wake up so we can eat together.”

Eat?

The scenes of her being tortured and forced to eat leftovers when she was staying in the Lane family suddenly appeared in her mind.

“Maya, as long as you’re determined, your diet will definitely be a success.”

“Yeah!”

The four children started eating. However, Nicole picked up her fork and suddenly placed it down.

“The fish! The fish is crying out in pain. Don’t eat it anymore! It’s hurting!”

Everyone was rendered speechless.

Evan and Stephen glanced at her in shock, while the children were dumbfounded as well.

Widening her eyes, Maya asked, “Mommy, if the fish is already dead, how can it cry out in pain?”

Nina side-eyed her. “You’re wrong. Even if the fish isn’t dead, it won’t cry out in pain either!”

Nicole’s eyes bore into the plate of roasted fish. Earlier, I heard the fish crying out in pain. What happened? Was it a hallucination?

“Nicole, do you feel uncomfortable?”

Turning around and glancing at Evan, she shook her head gently. Although she could not shake this feeling of uneasiness, she did not know what was causing it. As she was still clueless about what was going on, she did not want to make Evan worry and merely replied, “It’s… It’s nothing. I’m just joking with you.”
