Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo Chapter 1289
“This is the benefit of being the president’s wife. She left even before completing one document of translation. Not only does she come in late and leave work early, but she also plays with her phone, does her make-up, and admires her fingernails during working hours. I don’t know if she’s here to work or have fun.”
“You’re right. Mrs. Seet only worked hard for two hours during her first day at work. Based on my observation, her strong working capabilities were all rumors.”
“I couldn’t agree more. She revealed her true colors in just a few days. I think we wouldn’t have to act cautiously from now on. We could just do what we did last time. She wouldn’t have the mood to pay us any attention.”
“That’s true. All she cares about are her fingernails and how she looks. Has anyone noticed that she would act as if she was working very hard when she posed for pictures every time after making up? From what I see, she must be sending the photos to Mr. Seet for him to see on purpose.”
“Yes, yes. You’re definitely right. I think the same too.”
“You’re all just jealous. Her husband is the company’s president. She can work if she wants to and doesn’t have to if she doesn’t want to. Why are all of you so bitter? You can all find a husband as powerful as Mr. Seet should any of you have the capabilities to do so.”
Everyone was rendered speechless upon hearing that remark.
In the company’s parking lot at that moment, Nicole was sitting in Evan’s Maybach watching the few people gathering and ridiculing her through the CCTV footage.
They were all languid when working but energetic when gossiping about me.
She curled her lips into a faint smile as she thought about her decent acting.
Evan had his purpose for bringing her into the company. She pondered hard and felt that the only way for the employees to lower their guard, ignore her, and do whatever they wanted, just like before, was to let them think that she was a useless wallflower.
That was what she wanted. That way, some people would self-expose their true colors. Then, only she could get what she desired.
Feeling pleased, she exited the security footage. As soon as she did that, she received a call from Juan.
“Mommy, stay at home if you feel tired. You don’t have to come to the company.”
“Why is that? Does the company not welcome me?”
Juan went speechless momentarily before he sighed. “Mommy, I think that coming to the company is bad for your reputation.”
Hearing his concern, Nicole smiled. “Don’t worry. I don’t mind.”
Some sacrifices are needed to accomplish a goal. Moreover, I’m pretending to be a wallflower, not that I’m truly one. One day, I will make the employees who gossiped about me change their views on me.
Juan was speechless. He couldn’t comprehend why Nicole wanted to make people gossip and ridicule her by going to the company.
On the other hand, Kyle narrowed his eyes. He had a hunch that Nicole must have her purpose of doing so.
“Mommy knows what to do. Juan, let her be on this matter. We’ll just pretend as though we haven’t heard about it.”
Juan was still silent. He blinked his eyes slyly as he came to realize that Nicole would have her reasons for doing so. Out of curiosity, he wanted to find out secretly what Nicole was going to do.
At eleven at night, Evan returned to Imperial Garden from his business trip.
“Have you eaten?” Nicole looked at him in surprise. She received news that he would be back the next day but didn’t know he would be back that night.
“Yes, I have. I’ll go bathe,” Evan said in his deep sexy voice.
Nicole prepared his pajamas for him.
After he was done with his shower, both of them sat on the bed to chat. Evan fixed his gaze at the warm lighting in the bedroom and felt that the mood was romantic.
Nicole did not pay attention to any of those. She told Evan about her translating job at the Seet group. While looking at her affectionately, he said, “I’ve handed this matter to you. All is good as long as you know what to do.”
“Okay. All you have to do is sit back and observe how I help you find the culprit.”
Evan then tapped her nose dotingly. “Mrs. Seet, how were the children when I wasn’t home these few days?”
