Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo Chapter 1214
“Davin Seet, it seems like you’re quite well-versed in the matter huh. I haven’t heard you mention Renee in a while. So, are you hopelessly in love with her as well?”
“Sheep, don’t 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 don’t see the point of marrying you then. Why are you doubting me, by the way?”
Sheila regarded him from head to toe as her mind went into overdrive contemplating how sincere he was.
Davin let out a sigh. “You 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!”
“Really?”
“No truer words have been spoken,” Davin said adamantly.
Sheila was amused by his deadpan expression. “I’m going to believe you for the time being. If I find out you’re doing anything fishy behind my back, I’m going to make sure to teach you a good lesson.”
“Don’t worry. I’m not that kind of man.”
“Great. Let’s come back to Nina.”
Sheila then steered the focus back on Nina and Chris’ issue.
“I think we have to go along with Nina’s wishes and make her happy for the time being. Since she still has a crush on Chris, let’s just ask him to spend more time with her.”
Davin shot her an incredulous look. “Chris 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, didn’t Nina say that he’s 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!”
Sheila hugged her arms and peered at him. “You’re 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.”
“He did not? Then why didn’t he let Nina help him?”
“I think he doesn’t 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 he’d rather lie to her than endanger her.”
Davin and Maya fell silent as they had not expected that Chris to be that considerate towards Nina. In other words, didn’t it mean that he was putting Nina well above his pursuit of fame and fortune?
“Is this rascal the type to give up on fame and fortune for his beloved?” Davin sighed.
“I think it’s very likely.” Sheila nodded her head. “Uncle Morris mentioned that his two sisters have stripped Chris of most of his influence and seized control over K Enterprise. The man’s really in between a rock and a hard place right now.”
“Um… Since he’s so considerate toward Nina, should we let him know about her condition right now?”
Kyle was befuddled by the ongoing discussion of the group and asked, “Wait a minute, I’d like to know how this Chris guy is related to Nina?”
“Let’s go to the study. We’ll explain everything to you.”
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.
However…
“I think we’d better not mention Nina’s poisoning to him.”
“Why?” Maya gave Kyle a puzzled look.
She thought that Chris might offer to accompany Nina if he knew about the poisoning.
