Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo

Chapter 16

Nicole’s heart stopped beating. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“Who are you?” Evan asked as he stared at the child curled up into a ball next to the bed.

Nicole immediately rushed in and jumped in shock at the sight.

Since when did my precious Juan become a little girl?

The boy was wearing Nina’s clothes and had a wig on.

He sure moved quickly!

“S-She’s my daughters’ playmate.”

“Is that so?”

Juan nodded fervently.

Evan couldn’t be bothered with a “little girl”. He turned and left after giving Nicole a glance.

Juan was secretly delighted. Isn’t he supposed to be a smart guy?

He actually fell for my tricks.

But this is just a preview. The show’s only about to start.

After locking the door, Nicole frantically pulled Juan into her arms.

“Thank God you acted quickly, or he would have found out.”

Juan fell silent as his eyes turned misty. If I tell Mommy that I had purposely drop that glass, Mommy would surely…

Forget it. The moment he imagined his mother nagging him, he changed his mind instantly. He wouldn’t want to go through that.

“Don’t worry, Mommy. I’ll be careful next time.”

Nicole hugged Juan even more tightly. This boy was her life. Evan Seet must never find out about him.

Inside the Maybach.

“Who would’ve thought that woman had such guts to mess with you, Mr. Seet?”

“She’ll pay for it!”

John nodded thoughtfully.

“They’re right. Your abilities are endless, Mr. Seet. Mr. Kyle’s going to give that woman a hard time whenever she tries to treat him.”

Thinking back to how Kyle behaved when he gave the child a Lego set and a tablet, John figured he was being objective with his remarks.

Evan’s lips curled into a faint smirk. Kyle was abandoned not long after he was born; it’s only natural if he gives that woman a hard time now.

The next day.

Nicole arrived at the Hillside Villa on time to treat Kyle.

Since she had already been discovered by Evan last night, there was no longer any need to put on a disguise. Thus, she showed up as her true self.

Meanwhile, Kyle couldn’t get used to this new look.

“Where’s the lady from yesterday?”

Nicole reached for her medical kit and told Kyle that she was the same woman.

Kyle frowned; the more he stared at her, the more things didn’t seem right.

“No, you’re not!”

“It really is me. I had my own reasons for using a disguise yesterday, so…”

As Kyle listened to the woman explaining herself, he had a puzzled expression on his face. The woman from yesterday might not look pretty at all, but she gave off a warm and down-to-earth feeling.

Yet, that plain-looking face turned out to be a disguise?

Feeling as though his heart had been shattered, Kyle flew into a rage.

“So you’re a liar!”

“No, I’m not a liar. I’m-”

“Why should I believe you when you can even change your face?”

Nicole was stumped.

Evan, who was standing right next to them, gazed at Nicole in amusement.

“Remember this, Kyle. Women are always great liars. Not only can they change their faces, but they can also play dead!”

Play dead…

Nicole could only suffer in silence at the mention of these two words.

She wouldn’t have chosen to play dead if it weren’t for the sake of protecting the three children.

Upon hearing Evan’s words, Kyle glared at Nicole like an enemy.

“I won’t let a liar treat me, Dad. Make her leave!”

“I won’t lie to you, Kyle. You have to get better quickly,” Nicole insisted.

Then, she anxiously turned to Evan. “Kyle really has to be treated as soon as possible, Mr. Seet. You should know what matters most right now.”

Evan glared at her before walking over to Kyle and stroking his head.

“She may be terrible, Kyle, but there’s no one else who can replace her. She’s an excellent doctor and hacker. You can let her treat you as you compete over your hacking skills.”

A hint of astonishment appeared in Kyle’s disdainful eyes.

“You know how to hack?”

Nicole stilled for a moment before nodding.

She didn’t know how to hack at all, but she’d readily say yes if it meant being able to continue treating Kyle.

“Really? Then you can stay. But you’ll have to spend two hours practicing hacking skills with me every day.”

Kyle gave her a goading stare.

Two hours each day…

This was practically impossible for Nicole as she obviously knew nothing about hacking.

Just as she was in a bind, Kyle continued, “What do you say?” If you won’t, then get out of here!
