Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo
“No, that’s not what I meant!”
I mean, yes. But I can’t possibly be honest with you.
“Really?” Sheila doubted the man.
Davin nodded his head and lied without batting an eyelid. “Yes, of course it’s true.”
“Great. Then let’s stay together at Imperial Garden then.”
Is she for real? She’s that reluctant to give me some space?
Sheila glared at Davin who was stumped and furrowed her brows. “Why? Do you not want to stay
together with me? Or do you miss hanging out with those good-for-nothing friends?”
“N-no!” Davin stammered.
“Prove it by staying here together with me.”
“Sheep, you’re only here to accompany Nina. Why do you insist I do the same? I—”
“Quit babbling and do as she say!” Sophia interrupted the man.
Davin was rendered speechless.
Mother, I am your child. Why do you choose to side with Sheila instead? You’re making it seem like I’m
your son-in-law instead. Davin could not help but sigh to himself.
“Blake, make a room for Mr. Seet and Mrs. Seet. We’re going to stay at Imperial Garden for the night.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
Sheila gave Davin a triumphant look and Davin gave a resigned look at his mother. He had assumed that
given his mother’s personality, the two of them would not get along well. However, things took a very
different turn and the two of them were ganging up on him instead.
Oh, the misery.
Maya made Nina some Beef Wellington, and Nina wolfed it down in one sitting.
“Nina, I’ll make you more tomorrow if you like it.”
“Thank you, Maya.”
“Don’t sweat it. Just let me know if you’re craving for anything. I’ll make them all for you.”
Nina smiled sweetly at her sister’s kind gesture.
After she was done, Sheila chatted with Nina and somehow they came to the topic on wishes. Sheila
then asked Nina, “Nina, what’s your most earnest wish?”
Nina contemplated for a moment before answering, “I want to launch a really successful press
conference. I’m actually working on it right now. Daddy will make it a reality when he comes back later
on.”
A cosmetics press conference?
Sheila was thinking if Davin and Kyle could help her fulfil that wish. That way, Nina would be able to
achieve her wish sooner.
“Nina, do you have any other wish other than this one?”
Nina thought for a moment and shook her head.
Sheila regarded her and frowned. She noticed that Nina was not speaking her mind. She knew that Nina
was keeping something from her.
“Nina, don’t you have anything in particular that you want to achieve? Or someone whom you want to
meet? Or someplace that you wish to visit?”
Nina was bemused by Sheila’s odd questions. Why is she asking me these questions?
“Aunt Sheila, why do you ask these questions?”
Sheila was stumped. Has she realized something? She hurriedly managed a smile and said, “Oh, I’m
just saying random things off the top of my head.”
“Aunt Sheila, then I’m just going to let you know a random wish of mine. My biggest wish is actually to
stroll along the coast to watch the sunrise and sunset with the love of my life. We will grow old together,
and witness the beauty of life hand in hand.”
Nina’s eyes glimmered with hope and anticipation when she spoke of her wish.
Sheila watched her and felt her heart ache for the girl. It was not an out-of-the-world wish at all. In fact,
the girl’s most earnest wish would come true every day once she found the love of her life.
Having said that, the hope of fulfilling Nina’s wish was bleak since they did not know whether Nina’s
poison had an antidote.
“Nina, what kind of man do you like?”
“I like…”
Chris’ image popped up in her mind right then. In fact, her mind was filled with fragments of their time
together. She could vividly remember his bright and sunny personality, as well as his elegant manners at
K Nation.
