Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo
Kyle explained his stance, “I think he will feel morally obliged to accompany Nina if he knows about the
poisoning. In turn, he might spend time with Nina out of moral obligation. If Nina has gotten better after
this, and Chris no longer feels morally obliged to sympathize with her, then Nina might fall even deeper
into the rabbit hole. What will we do about the situation then? Sympathy is not love after all.”
“Kyle, what do you mean?”
“Just let him know how Nina feels toward him and don’t mention the poisoning. Let him make the
judgement on his own. We need to make sure that he’s truly willing to spend time with Nina.”
Davin and Sheila exchanged glances after listening to him. Nevertheless, they tacitly thought that Kyle
was really rational and mature when it came to relationships.
“It’s settled, then. I will ask Avril to ask how Chris truly feels about her.”
“Will Avril really help you out? I heard that she’s aggressively pursuing Sir Musgrave recently,” Davin
gossiped.
Sheila rolled her eyes at him and said, “That’s why we need to ask for her help and divert her attention!”
Then, Sheila called Avril. The latter heartily agreed to help out. However, her only condition was that
Nicole had to put in a good word for her in front of Stephen as she was helping out Nicole’s daughter
after all.
“All right. I promise you on behalf of Nicole. Don’t worry, she’ll put in a good word for you.”
“Okay, then. I’m going to meet Chris right now.”
“We await your good news.”
Davin then cast a concerned look over at Sheila. “I think it’s inappropriate that you ask her to go.”
“Why?”
“Well, you know her. She’s not the type to hold her tongue and think over her actions. What if she
infuriates Chris? What’s going to become of Chris and Nina then?”
Sheila rolled her eyes at Davin yet again. Idiot, what do you know?
Even if Avril was only helping Nina out in hopes of getting Nicole to put in a good word for her in front of
Stephen, Avril had everything to gain to matchmake Chris and Nina. Even if Chris did not harbor any
feelings toward Nina, Avril would definitely rack her brains out trying to get him to Nina’s side.
“Quit worrying. Just wait for the good news.”
Avril was Murphy’s daughter, and Murphy had close relations with K Nation tycoons. Hence, it was a
piece of cake for Avril to meet Chris.
After knowing that Chris was at K Enterprise, Avril proposed a meetup on the grounds of a potential
collaboration.
“Hello, Mr. Sanders.”
“Ms. Morris, what brings you here today?”
Avril regarded him seriously and asked, “Mr. Sanders, I heard that you have a crush on Nina Lane. Is
that true?”
Chris’ face stiffened. He had not expected anyone to bring the matter up, and to his face, nonetheless.
“This is a private matter.”
“I understand. However, if I was not entrusted by someone, I wouldn’t have asked you this question
either. To my understanding, you decided to make use of Nina back then, but something happened
between the two of you, and you decided to head back to K Nation instead. Nina came all the way here
and wanted to help you out and you rejected her offer. You told her a white lie to make her leave so as
not to endanger her. Is that correct?”
“What are you trying to say?” Chris regarded her with his deep-set obsidian gaze.
“I’m saying that you actually still have feelings for Nina. Maybe you only thought about using her in the
beginning, but you fell for her as time went by. You did not expect that to happen either, did you?”
Chris said nothing as his eyes darkened and his hands clutched tighter on his cup.
Avril was delighted by his reaction as it validated her guess. Chris still had feelings for Nina. If that was
the case, then it would be easy to deal with the following matter.
“Just pursue her if you still like her. I think you’re well aware of her feelings for you too, especially
considering the fact that she came all the way to K Nation to help you out. Why choose to live in regret
when the feeling is mutual for both of you?”
