Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo Chapter 777

With an indifferent tone, Evan muttered, “You can be straightforward. There’s no need for us to speak
privately.”

Susan shot a glimpse at Nicole and hesitated. A while later, she turned to gaze at Evan with sincerity in
her eyes.




“Evan, when I was burnt while saving you, you’d promised me that you would give me something in
return. Back then, I’d asked you to marry me. I’m aware that you like Ms. Lane, so we’ll dismiss the
wedding. Can you promise me something else?”

Susan was aware that threatening Evan with death was no longer useful, in terms of getting Evan to fall
in love with her. Thus, she chose to take a strategic retreat in order to advance in her plan.

Evan remained silent.



Nicole carefully mulled over Susan’s words. Does this mean that she doesn’t want to marry Evan
anymore? Or does she have something else lying in store for us?



Similar to Nicole, Evan was bewildered. He stared at Susan with apathetic eyes. “What is it?”

“Evan, I know that your company invests in the film industry. Your company is about to purchase Border
Films. Since I can’t get your love, I want to have my chance at becoming a popular actress. That way, I’ll
be able to have a better life. Can you fulfill this wish for me?”





She wants to act in a show and become a star?

When did Susan have thoughts like that?



Her request stunned Nicole.

Evan looked at Susan as a hint of worry flitted across his eyes. It was true that Susan was a student of
the performing arts, and it was not as if he could not agree to her request. However, to save him back
then, Susan’s face, body, and arms had burn marks. Although her face had undergone skin grafting and
had recovered, her arms and body still had scars. That was why she was unsuitable to become an
actress.

Sensing his worry, Susan pulled up her sleeves to show him the horrifying scars that were wrapped
around her arm like a centipede.

Instantly, Evan was struck with guilt. Her scars are because of me.



“Evan, look. My arms and body are littered with scars, so I won’t be able to take on many kinds of films.
I’m only suitable for period dramas, where such body parts would be hidden. Seeing as such, can you
please invest in a period drama?”

Investing in a period drama was nothing to Evan.

Evan was more than willing to fulfill this wish of Susan’s if it meant that she would stop harassing him.

However, he did not know what Nicole had thought about this.



Turning to Nicole, he saw her nodding at him; it was a silent agreement from her.

Nicole had thought over this. If Susan were to be busied by her shows, that means that she won’t have
the time to harass Evan or to destroy our relationship! That’s a good thing.

Moreover, for Susan to have suggested this meant that she was giving Evan an opportunity to return the
favor that she had given him. Nicole was certain that Evan was already interested in helping her, and
hence, she saw that she should show him her support for his decision.

Solemnly, Evan uttered to Susan, “I’ll agree to your request. It’ll be me fulfilling the promise that I’d made
to you back then.”

Susan abruptly smiled in delight. “Thank you, Evan. I’ll go home to prepare myself for the audition. Do
call and inform me when you’ve set the time for me to attend the auditions.”

“My assistant will be in charge of this. He will notify you when the time comes.”

Susan froze before she nodded. “Alright. I’ll take my leave now.”

With that said, she turned around to leave. However, the further she walked, the icier her expression
became. By the time she left the living room, the joy on her face was nowhere to be found.

That’s it? She’s left just like that?

Nicole was still surprised by the entire incident.

She had thought that Susan would put on a show whining that she could not bear to live without Evan.

She could barely believe that the other woman had left in such a manner.

“Evan, have you decided to make her famous?”



“I’m only giving her this one opportunity. Whether or not she’ll make it big is up to her.”

“To be honest, I think that she’s good at acting! Look, she’s always seemed to be rather fragile, but
something about her today felt seemingly different.”

There was something different about Susan today, but Nicole could not pinpoint what it was.
