Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo

Chapter 164

Evan tried to move the table away but to no avail.

As he got furious, he even wished to saw off the leg of the table.

“Are you really staying here?”

Knowing that he would definitely look ghastly at this moment, Nicole turned around to avert his gaze.

Meanwhile, he heaved a sigh and said grumpily, “Alright, I will make sure you regret your decision and beg to leave later!”

Once he finished, Nicole couldn’t help but feel somewhat nervous.

What is the jerk planning to do? Will he torture me?

After Evan went upstairs furiously, she immediately put the table away. Then, she ran back to her bedroom and locked the door.

At this moment, her heart was thumping.

I’m staying here now, but terrible things might happen next. Davin asked me to act cute shamelessly to persuade Evan, yet…

Will Evan do something to force me to leave before I can say or do anything?

Since it was a lot more difficult than she thought, she was rendered clueless.

At this moment, Davin coincidentally called her when she needed help the most. She quickly answered the phone without hesitation.

“When I came to the office, I heard from John that Evan went home. How was it? Did he ask you to stay? Did he talk nicely to you? And did you deliberately find fault with him to vent your anger?”

“Do you think Evan is you? He wanted to drag me away like a dog! My god, I couldn’t stay here if I weren’t brazen-faced enough.”

“What? He went overboard this time. Wait a minute. I’ll complain to Julia now.”

However, after Davin gave it some thought, he felt that it wasn’t a good idea to complain to Julia because Sophia would know the truth too.

“Ms. Lane, I have an idea. Since you have pulled yourself up by your bootstraps to stay in the house, I’m sure you can persuade him to let you stay. Don’t play hardball with him because that is when he will get provoked. I’ll send some suggestions to you later. Please take a look and make it as your reference.” Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

Nicole heaved a sigh as she couldn’t think of a better idea and replied, “Alright.”

Once Davin hung up the phone, he hopped into his car and flipped through several e-books about the strategies to “tame” a president stored in his phone. Then, he wrote down some of the conclusions seriously and sent them to her in a text message.

On the other hand, Nicole was rendered speechless after reading his message. She felt that the so- called strategies weren’t about persuading Evan. Instead, they were about how to pretend to be innocent, pure, and weak to arouse his sympathy.

Can I fool Evan with these tricks? I’m more worried that these will backfire on me once he thinks I’m seducing him!

After giving it some thought, she decided to give it a try because custody of Juan was of utmost importance.

She deliberately put on light makeup to look more like an innocent lady. Then, she put on a pink jacket and looked at herself in the mirror repeatedly.

Nonetheless, she didn’t feel that she looked gentle or weak in any way. Since she had to work and raise the three kids by herself for many years, she trained herself to be strong mentally and physically.

“It’s difficult! No way, I have to put on makeup again.”

After nearly an hour, Nicole was finally satisfied with her look and opened the door.

Much to her surprise, she saw Evan standing right in front of the study and staring at her.

Bang!

She immediately went back to her room and closed the door.

She was petrified by his cold-eyed stare and the stressful depression around him.

After calming herself down, she was worried that her plan would go south if she didn’t take the initiative. Hence, she plucked up the courage and decided to stick to her plan.

For one more time, she looked at herself in the mirror and acted pitiful and weak. When she was satisfied with it, she opened the door again.

Meanwhile, Evan, who was still standing in front of the study, sized her up carefully.

What is this troublesome woman trying to do? She banged the door when she saw me earlier. But why is she coming up to me now?

When Nicole came up to him, she lifted her head and said, “Mr. Seet, I was rude earlier on. Please accept my apology. I…”
