Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo Chapter 1286
The next morning, Nicole noticed Maya getting ready to leave for the food plaza as soon as she woke up.
“Mommy, have some breakfast. I’ve already eaten, and I’m heading out to work.”
“How’s Nina? Is she okay?”
Maya gave it a thought and replied, “She has been eating a lot. Other than that, she’s doing fine.”
Despite that, Nicole still couldn’t stop worrying about her as she went to knock on Nina’s door.
The latter was still sleeping, and she quickly wrapped herself under the blanket after hearing the knocking.
“Nina, it’s me. It’s time for breakfast.”
As soon as Nina heard Nicole’s voice, she peeked her head out from the blanket and responded, “Mommy, I’m not hungry. I’ll sleep a little longer.”
“Okay. I’m heading to the company later, and I’ll help you take a few days off. Take the time you need to recover, all right?”
Nicole understood how awful the breakup was, so she felt that Nina needed a few days to sort out her emotions.
After breakfast, she drove to the company. When the employees saw her, they quickly greeted her politely, “Mrs. Seet.”
As Nicole smiled and nodded at them, she continued her way to the Translation Department.
When the manager of the department noticed her, he quickly bowed. “Mrs. Seet!”
“I’m here to work.” Nicole went straight to the point.
“I know. Kyle has already informed me of the situation. I’ve already set up your station, so please follow me.”
“There’s no need. I used to work here, so I know where it is. I’ll go there myself.” After she spoke, she walked into the office.
At that moment, the manager got his guard up. Now that Mrs. Seet is in the same department as me, I must be more vigilant and cautious. Otherwise, she would find fault in me.
When she walked into the office, she noticed that all the employees were sitting upright and working solemnly. Seeing that, she grew fond of the atmosphere.
She then made her way to the seat that was reserved for her and sat down. Grabbing a document, she read it for a bit and then proceeded to work. Her bright eyes were trained on both the monitor and the document as her fair, slender fingers tapped effortlessly on the keyboard.
The other employees in the office would glance at her from time to time for fear of being reprimanded or punished for making a mistake.
My, my. Working with Mrs. Seet is sure stressful!
Nicole was very efficient at work. In the span of merely two hours, she had finished what the ordinary employees couldn’t finish in just a morning. She glanced at the time on her watch and was about to do something else when she received a call.
“Mommy, are you at home?”
“Joy, I will return home in a while. What’s the matter?”
“I’ve missed you, Mommy. I want to play with you.”
“Okay, I’ll be there soon.”
“All right! I will wait for you here at Grandma’s.”
Nicole then proceeded to pack her things and left the company to Seet Residence.
On the way there, she was curious about Joy’s process of matchmaking Levant and Tiffany.
Meanwhile, Joy was waiting at the front door, folding her arms as if she was an adult.
Seeing Nicole’s car drive into Seet Residence, she waved her arms excitedly and shouted, “Mommy! Mommy!”
Later, Nicole parked her car nicely and paced up to Joy.
“Have you been a good girl to Grandma, Joy?”
“Yes! I’m the best girl!”
Nicole then reached out and pinched Joy’s fair little cheeks dotingly. This kid really inherited Evan’s best features. Her eyes, nose, and lips are just like his.
“Mommy, Uncle Davin treated us to a nice meal yesterday, and we have accomplished something big.”
“Oh? What is it?”
As Nicole asked, she carried Joy in her arms and walked to the living room.
Before Joy could tell her about it, she saw Davin, Zayden, and Luke walking down the stairs, followed by Sheila.
