Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo

Chris understood what Avril was trying to say.

However, Nina was only sixteen years old. She had an exciting and fulfilling life ahead of her. Chris

thought that maybe she had yet to meet her destined fate and that he might not be the one for her.

Avril was starting to get exasperated at the deafening silence stretching between them. She let out a sigh

and continued to persuade him.

“Do you think Nina is not a good match for you? You know her inside out, especially her family

background and capabilities. Her aptitude for the makeup industry is more than enough to make her an

excellent match for you. I don’t think it is possible for you to meet another woman who will love you as

much she does in the future. Most importantly, whether you admit it or not, you do have feelings for her.

You’re a man, for goodness’ sake. Just grow a pair and go for her!”

It’s not that I don’t want to go after her, I just don’t think that I should.

“Nina… she has a bright future ahead of her.”

He lowered his head and stared down at the table in front of him as he tried to conceal the conflicted

feelings storming inside of his chest.

Chris loved Nina, and he hoped for nothing but the best for her. After a few years, when Nina knows

better, she will find someone better suited for her, and they will spend the rest of their lives in bliss.

Avril saw that Chris was spiraling further into his own presumptions, and decided to take a different

approach.

“Chris, do you think you’re so great by choosing to let her go? Are you really happy letting the love of

your life slip away just like that? Do you have any idea how excruciating it is for Nina to try and suppress

her feelings for you every single day, all because you think it’s for her own good? Right, you love her, so

you should understand how tormenting it feels to suppress that kind of love. You’re not a great man at all,

Chris. In fact, you’re a coward!”

Even though Avril’s words were harsh, every single word hit Chris hard. He knew deep down that he was

a coward.

Avril continued to make her case after noticing that he was listening. “Actually, you have a fair chance of

winning in the power struggle against your two sisters. You only feel like you’re not on a level playing

field because of your cowardice. If you’d just be more courageous and protect Nina like she’s your wife,

she will be able to help you out in the battle against your two sisters. Just man up!”

Then, Avril got up and left. She paused and stopped right at the entrance of the office. Then, she turned

around and looked at him sternly. “If your cowardice leads to you and Nina ending up with people who

are not destined to be together with the two of you, then both of you will live the rest of your lives in

regret, hoping that you could turn back time and make the right decision right now.”

Her words hung in the air as she turned back around to leave.

A storm raged in Chris’ heart as the air went still with silence.

He was trying hard to suppress the feelings raging within him. However, Avril’s words had managed to

stir it all again.

Nina likes me.

I like Nina too.

It is really not easy for two people to develop mutual feelings for each other, right? Should I muster the

courage to hold onto it?

Chris was at a loss with what to do as he battled with himself.

The night fell, and he went back home. He sat in his study and stared at the reports spread out before

him blankly.

Avril’s words echoed in his mind. Then, he reminisced the times he spent with Nina as waves of

emotions washed over him.

Nina must have struggled as she battled herself on the decision to come to K Nation to see him. It must

have not been easy for her to convince her parents either.

However, Chris felt remorseful for lying to her.

She must really hate me right now.

He stared out into the darkness out the window and wondered what Nina was doing.

After hesitating for almost half a day, his impulse won the battle and he gave Nina a call.
