Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo Chapter 1338

A Promise

On the next day, Nina acted like a programmed robot, driving to Seet Group after breakfast, as per
usual.

Right as she set foot in the office, she saw Stephen, who had been awaiting her arrival for some time.

“Ms. Nina, here’s the design I did last night. You can have a look at it.”

Nina reached over to take the folder. After going through the content attentively, she found that the
design was outstanding. The packaging could augment the classiness of the product, and the style was
groundbreaking. Hence, she believed it would fascinate the public once launched.

“The design is very well done and unique, especially this part. Using this color scheme really
emphasizes the classiness—”

At that point, she could not help but raise her head to survey Stephen. “Did you come up with the
design by yourself?”

He nodded. “Yes, I thought about it while sketching the design. That’s the final look.”

Again, Nina lowered her eyes to scrutinize the sketch. Some parts of the design were similar to that
suggested once by Chris.

How coincidental… Could Stephen be related to Chris?

At that thought, she raised her head and observed Stephen yet again.

Feeling uncomfortable under her gaze, he asked in puzzlement, “What’s wrong?”

Instead of answering, she queried in a soft voice, “Do you know Chris?”



At the mention of Chris, Stephen felt a pang of heartache. Avoiding Nina’s bright eyes that were eager
for an answer, he shook his head slightly. “I don’t know him.”

Instantly, disappointment surfaced in her eyes. “Your design is reminiscent of his.”

Stephen’s expression darkened. In truth, he suddenly had an inspiration last night, so he switched on
his computer and sketched the design. After seeing his work, he was astounded by his improvement
and could not believe he had drawn it himself.

Although he did learn translation and design, he could not fully comprehend the latter. Hence, he only
continued his translation work and never knew he had such exceptional talent in design till then. Could
it be because of…

Seeing him lost in his thoughts, Nina frowned and questioned, “What’s wrong? Are you all right?”

Her query had him come back to his senses. Shaking his head, Stephen said, “Nothing. I’ll head back
to work now.”

As he walked away, Nina observed his figure. From his physique to his gait, she failed to find any
resemblance to Chris. However, while lowering her head to gaze at the design again, she recalled the
previous events and could not fathom why she was constantly reminded of Chris.

Are Stephen and Chris related to each other? What’s their relationship?

Nina fell into deep thought.

Concurrently, Stephen returned to his office and sat on his chair, looking somber. He could not shake
off a strange feeling. Every time Nina looked at him, he could feel his heart racing, but he never
understood why.

Don’t tell me…



He subconsciously rested his hand on his beating heart with his eyes cast downward. Suddenly, a
promise he made to someone flashed across his mind.

A second later, he murmured, “Don’t worry. I’ll keep my promise.”

Back at the study in Imperial Garden, Nicole, who had just concluded the details regarding the
construction of the hospital, closed her laptop.

After stretching her arms and swiveling her neck, she was about to stand up when she heard Joy and
Zayden giggling at the door.

Upon looking up, she saw both of them smiling at her.

“What are you two laughing at? Did you cause trouble again?”

Joy shook her head. “No, Mommy. I am a good kid.”

Zayden glanced at her and quickly looked back at Nicole, adding, “Joy’s right. We didn’t cause any
trouble. W-We merely…”

Instead of finishing his sentence, the boy scratched his head. Ah, I almost spoke the truth! I truly am
such an honest boy!

“Merely what?” Nicole probed. Joy, standing beside Zayden, immediately put her finger on her lips to
hush him.

Catching her hint, Zayden was troubled. Uh, does Joy not want me to tell the truth? Then should I still
say it?

Feeling hesitant, he continued to scratch his head.
