Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo Chapter 1214
âDavin Seet, it seems like youâre quite well-versed in the matter huh. I havenât heard you mention Renee in a while. So, are you hopelessly in love with her as well?â
âSheep, donât try to corner me. What happened between Renee and I was in the past. If I truly have feelings for her, I can actually just choose to spend the rest of my life with her. I donât see the point of marrying you then. Why are you doubting me, by the way?â
Sheila regarded him from head to toe as her mind went into overdrive contemplating how sincere he was.
Davin let out a sigh. âYou really like to make your own assumptions and accuse me of things you make up in your mind. I swear I no longer have feelings for Renee!â
âReally?â
âNo truer words have been spoken,â Davin said adamantly.
Sheila was amused by his deadpan expression. âIâm going to believe you for the time being. If I find out youâre doing anything fishy behind my back, Iâm going to make sure to teach you a good lesson.â
âDonât worry. Iâm not that kind of man.â
âGreat. Letâs come back to Nina.â
Sheila then steered the focus back on Nina and Chrisâ issue.
âI think we have to go along with Ninaâs wishes and make her happy for the time being. Since she still has a crush on Chris, letâs just ask him to spend more time with her.â
Davin shot her an incredulous look. âChris is the de facto inheritor of the K Enterprise. Do you think he will just play along and spend more time with Nina just because you tell him to? Besides, didnât Nina say that heâs already found a new girlfriend? Even if he agrees to be a two-timer, do you think his girlfriend will just give him her blessing? Nina is not the kind of woman who is willing to be the third wheel in a relationship either!â
Sheila hugged her arms and peered at him. âYouâre not a know-it-all. Chris just told Nina that he no longer needed her help as he already found someone to help him. He only mentioned that the woman was older than Nina. There was no mention that the woman was his girlfriend either. Nina just assumed that she was his girlfriend. Actually, I already called Uncle Morris to confirm that Chris could not find anyone to help him out. As for the competition between him and his two sisters, Chris suffered a total loss.â
âHe did not? Then why didnât he let Nina help him?â
âI think he doesnât want to put Nina in danger. His two sisters will not let Nina off the hook if she had stayed behind in K Nation to help him out. I think that heâd rather lie to her than endanger her.â
Davin and Maya fell silent as they had not expected that Chris to be that considerate towards Nina. In other words, didnât it mean that he was putting Nina well above his pursuit of fame and fortune?
âIs this rascal the type to give up on fame and fortune for his beloved?â Davin sighed.
âI think itâs very likely.â Sheila nodded her head. âUncle Morris mentioned that his two sisters have stripped Chris of most of his influence and seized control over K Enterprise. The manâs really in between a rock and a hard place right now.â
âUm⦠Since heâs so considerate toward Nina, should we let him know about her condition right now?â
Kyle was befuddled by the ongoing discussion of the group and asked, âWait a minute, Iâd like to know how this Chris guy is related to Nina?â
âLetâs go to the study. Weâll explain everything to you.â
They went to the study. Kyle finally understood the whole picture after they divulged everything to him. He agreed that Nina would be pleased to have Chris around.
Howeverâ¦
âI think weâd better not mention Ninaâs poisoning to him.â
âWhy?â Maya gave Kyle a puzzled look.
She thought that Chris might offer to accompany Nina if he knew about the poisoning.
