Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo Chapter 538

Hmm, this young lady is arrogant.

“I just came back today. What can I do for you?” Levant inquired coolly.

The lady walked to the table and towered above him.

“Who is she?”

Levant placed his cutlery down. “Let me introduce you to Nicole Lane, a good friend of mine. This is my
cousin, Daphne Ankins.”

Cousin?

Is she the one skilled in acupuncture?

Oh, this is great. I don’t have to plan for an encounter.

Should I befriend her to help with my investigation?

“Friend? Levant, when did you befriend someone this lowly? Look how excited she is. She must be
scheming something, so be careful.”

Her nasty words hit Nicole hard.

But to think about it, Levant was a nobleman. She was just a lowly commoner, after all.

Daphne’s right. I’m actually scheming things, but my target isn’t Levan but you, dear Daphne.

“She’s right. I’m lucky to have met you, Mr. Levant.”

“Nicole, don’t belittle yourself.”



“Levant, she’s right. At least she knows her place.”

Levant glanced at his petty cousin, who was putting on a haughty look.

However, Nicole couldn’t be bothered about Daphne’s attitude as she came here with a motive. So she
decided that temporary setbacks would always be overshadowed by persistence as long as she
achieved her goals. Hence, the most important thing now was to befriend Daphne.

“Ms. Ankins, you haven’t had dinner yet, right? Come, join us for dinner.”

Daphne looked at Nicole before turning to Levant.

But he said nothing.

Is he not welcoming me? Fine. I’ll stay against his wishes. Daphne huffed silently.

She plopped down on a seat next to Levant before informing the maids to prepare her utensils.

“Levant, you’ve lost weight. Eat up.”

Levant just ignored her. “Nicole, you should eat more,” he told her.

She looked up and met Daphne’s malicious gaze.

She had a jolting shock.

Why is Daphne staring at me like I’m her love rival? Is she seriously thinking that I’m her enemy?

She seems extremely jealous. Obviously, she’s in love with him. But isn’t Levant her cousin? So can
they be together?



Nicole pondered for a while before she concluded. Perhaps these two aren’t really related. She might
be adopted or something. As they are not blood-related, they can be together.

As she wanted to befriend Daphne, she took a piece of fish and placed it on her plate. “Ms. Ankins, eat
up.”

“Stop giving me food. That’s filthy.”

Nicole froze at her rude comment.

Daphne picked up the piece of fish and threw it on the table in disgust.

Fine, I was wrong.

Some people are seriously annoying.

I wouldn’t have given you the fish if I don’t need your help!

Nicole proceeded to ignore her and resumed eating.

After filling her stomach, she stood up and announced. “I’m done. I’ll go back to my room now.”

“I’ll escort you,” said Levant as he rose to his feet.

“It’s alright. Please continue eating,” replied Nicole as she left the dining room.

“Levant, I have something to tell you.”

He glowered at her before sitting down. “What is it?”

Daphne waited until Nicole’s figure disappeared from sight before she spoke, “Levant, who is Ms.
Lane? Don’t forget that I’m your fiancée.”



“Fiancée? Really?” He scoffed as if he had heard a joke, then his gaze at her coldly.

“Levant, don’t forget you’re nothing without Aunt Portia! You have to marry me!”

“Yes, I owe your aunt a favor, but I don’t love you. I won’t marry you just to repay the favor.”
