Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo

Chapter 87

“Mom, I’ve already made up my mind. Even if she asks you to talk to me, I am not changing my stance. I will never let that woman step into the office or Hillside Villa ever again!”

“You… why do you have to make life so difficult for a woman?”

Why?

Because I hate her!

Because we’re talking about a heartless, instigative, and manipulative woman who abandoned her family, feigned death, lied… and did all sorts of bad things!

But Evan did not intend to mention any of those to Sophia.

He did not want his mom to know that Tussaud’s real name was Nicole and that she was Kyle’s mother.

Evan was worried that if Sophia found out about that, she would start helping that woman so that Kyle would finally have a mom.

He did not expect that even without him mentioning it, Sophia was already taking that woman’s side. That had really surprised Evan.

Wait a minute!

Mom can’t have possibly already found out that Nicole is Kyle’s mom… right?

Wanting to test the waters, Evan spoke, “Mom, do you know that she’s… “

“What?” Sophia looked at Evan with a confused look on her face.

Ah, I don’t think mom knows it yet. Evan heaved a sigh of relief.

“Mom, she’s an extremely competent doctor and should be using her skills to treat patients and save lives! How can we keep her in our company?”

Sophia was at a loss for words as she stared at her son. The reason he gave seemed like a good one.

But…

She would very much prefer such a virtuous woman to be her daughter-in-law instead!

Sophia was feeling rather confused by Evan’s words.

By saying that, is he actually putting Tussaud’s interests first or going against her?

Maybe he has his own plans?

“Evan, what exactly are you thinking of?”

“Mom, just stop worrying about me. You and dad haven’t taken a vacation for a long time, right? Why don’t you guys go somewhere and have some fun? You’ve always wanted to go to Paris, no?”

Indeed, Sophia had been planning to go to Paris for a long time.

However, Jonathan seemed reluctant to go as he kept giving her excuses on multiple occasions when she brought up the idea. That was also the reason why the trip was delayed.

“But your dad… “

“Don’t worry about dad, I’ll handle him!”

Why is this boy so keen for me to go away on a holiday…?

Sophia’s eyes darkened.

On the surface, she pretended to leave the office happily as Evan had promised to settle the problems surrounding her Paris holiday.

The corners of Evan’s mouth curled up into a smile, thinking that the matter had finally been resolved.

Nicole, now that there’s no one to back you up anymore, I’ll see what other tricks you have!

At the same time, Nicole was munching on an apple while watching the job advertisement which Seet Group had put up on television.

It seemed like the position she held was indeed an important one.

Just then, an idea suddenly struck her. Nicole put down her apple and clasped her hands together as she prayed: Dear God, Evan Seet is such a horrible man to bully a defenseless woman like me! Please make sure that he would not be able to find any suitable candidate to fill that position. I’ll definitely give thanks for my prayer answered! Please help me! Amen!

When Nicole was done with her prayer, she opened her eyes and let out a peal of abrupt laughter.

She was surprised that her hatred for Evan had already grown to such an extent. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

Heh, am I too evil for wishing that?

As if the heavens took pity on Nicole, the next few candidates interviewed by the hiring team who knew how to speak the native dialect of A Nation did not meet the company’s hiring requirements.

The only one who passed had requested for an exorbitant remuneration.

When Evan heard about that outrageous request, he slammed the candidate’s portfolio on the desk and bellowed, “How dare he state such a condition with just these capabilities! Don’t we have any better candidates? The ones we had are all trash!”

John looked towards the ground, afraid to make eye contact with his boss.

He cleared his throat lightly and touched his nose nervously. “Maybe, top talents tend to be more arrogant due to their sense of superiority?”

Arrogant to the point that his requested salary is even more than the entire net worth of the company?

“Just tell him to get lost!” Evan yelled, exuding a terrifying aura.

“Yes, boss!” John answered and darted out of the room as if running for his life.

As for that candidate, he was treated like a madman and thrown out of the building by the security guards.

Feeling aggrieved by the company’s treatment towards him, the completely baffled man took a detailed look at the hiring contract. There was a mistake in the expected remuneration…

Something doesn’t seem right.

He remembered very clearly that he did not ask for one hundred million for every word translated!

What was going on?
