Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo Chapter 758

“Has everything ended for us?”

He whispered softly. His heartache could be seen clearly through his deep eyes.




Meanwhile, Nicole was tossing and turning on her bed and could not fall asleep.

Two companies were willing to collaborate with Lane Corporation and that would help her resolve the
problems faced earlier. Her assistant had checked on these two companies and concluded that they
were not associated with Seet Group nor had any business transactions with the latter.

Yet, Nicole still doubted the motive behind the agenda, as to why these companies wanted to collaborate
with her.



People would generally want to work with a top seed. Who would want to get involved in a company with
a bleak future?



Although the two companies have affirmed me that they value my character, I’ve actually never
interacted with their persons in charge before. Moreover, there were unfavorable news about me on the
Internet some time back, which made the reason given by them sound like a lame excuse.

The real reason is probably related to that person.





“Evan Seet, if you’re really behind all these, what’s your intention? Why did you go the extra mile to help
me but hide your identity?”

Since you’ve decided to repay your debt of gratitude through your marriage and sacrifice happiness for
the rest of your life, why do you still care about me so much?



“I know that you had no choice, you had your reasons to do so because you value love and relationships,
and you certainly couldn’t ignore the hardships your benefactor had to go through, but…”

I really can’t accept the fact that you’re married. I can’t stand you being around any other woman.

We all have our fair share of worries, difficulties, and struggles.

Perhaps, that’s our fate.

As Nicole thought about this, her heart wrenched. She let out a sniffle and tears streamed down from her
cheeks uncontrollably.



Five days following that, Nicole received news that Yage Group was going to hold a cocktail party, and all
of the top businessmen in the industry were invited.

After pondering over it, she looked at her assistant and asked solemnly, “If I were to attend this cocktail
party and be lucky enough to meet a few top guns, won’t that save Lane Corporation from its current
predicament and also bring benefits to its future development?”

Her assistant thought about it. “Yes, it will, Ms. Lane. Our company’s growth is rather stagnant now. We
could use some backers to move things forward.”



Nicole squinted her eyes. “All right, I must get ready and seize the golden opportunity.”

A few party scenes flashed through her mind as she thought about what to wear at night.

After two hours of preparation, Nicole looked stunning in a pastel-colored tube dress, delicate make-up,
and 6-inch stilettos. She left Imperial Garden confidently.

The cocktail party was magnificent. Luxury was an understatement. There were marble stairs, expensive
carpets, dazzling lights, and a selection of premium red wines.

Nicole took a deep breath and walked in calmly.

As soon as she entered the hall, she became the center of attention.

“Who is that?”

“She looks like Nicole Lane from Lane Corporation.”

“Oh, the one who had a relationship with Mr. Seet from Seet Group?”

“Yes, that’s right. Unfortunately, Mr. Seet abandoned her and married another woman in the end.”

“So what if she was abandoned? She must be something to have attracted Mr. Seet in the first place.
Why don’t we…”

“You’re interested in her?”

“Who’s not interested in a belle like her?”

A few guys were throwing lecherous gazes at Nicole as if they were wolves, ready to devour their prey.

They held a wine glass each in their hands and walked towards Nicole.



“Care for a drink?”

She gave them a once-over. They dress well and look like some local notables.

She recalled her purpose of attending the party. “Sure, cheers.” She lifted her glass and downed the red
wine.

“You’re really good. Shall we continue somewhere else?”

What?

She started to notice their lustful gazes and ugly smiles. These people have a different agenda, don’t
they?
