    Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo Chapter 1612


    Friendly Hug


    Stephen surveyed the rowdy and chaotic scene that was ying out all around him. “All manner of


    unsavory sorts hang out in this bar, and that makes this a dangerous ce for girls like you. It might be


    best to avoiding here if you can help it.”


    “Why? Are you worried about me? Worried that I might be taken advantage of?”


    Rose winked at a stupefied Stephen who appeared at a loss as to how to respond.


    Stephen had mixed feelings. If she were her, I’d definitely not allow anyone to harm her! But if she isn’t


    Nina, then what business is that of mine?


    “It’s gettingte. Let me see you home,” Stephen proposed.


    “All right,” Rose readily agreed.


    As they strolled along the moonlit sidewalk, Rose cast a nce his way and initiated a conversation.


    “Do you spend a lot of time in K Nation?”


    “No. I’m only here to find someone,” Stephen replied candidly.


    “Find someone? Who?”


    “I’m looking for a girl named Nina. Do you know her?” Stephen had his eyes firmly locked on her


    heavily made-up face.


    Rose tapped a finger against her own lips as if she was deep in thought before she shook her head.


    “Nope, I don’t know her! Who’s she to you?”


    Don’t know her?


    What Stephen could infer from her expression alone was not enough for him to deduce whether she


    was telling the truth.


    “She and I are friends.”


    “Boyfriend and girlfriend?”


    “No.”


    “Why are you looking for her, then?”

    The man suddenly stopped in his tracks. “Would you like to know?”


    Hearing that, Rose was immediately on her guard. She then shrugged her shoulders nonchntly. “You


    don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to because I was just asking for the heck of it. Frankly, I’m not


    that interested in other people’s secrets.”


    Stephen tactfully looked out for signs which might suggest deception but was left confounded. So, is


    she Nina, or is she not? If she is, then her performance is wless. I can’t see a trace of deception.


    The pair continued on, side-by-side, for another stretch down the street until they arrived outside


    Schumann Hotel. Rose then told him that she had reached her ce and extended her thanks.


    “No need for that, because this is where I’m staying too.”


    “No way. Isn’t this such a lovely coincidence?”


    When her voice trailed off, she spotted a womaning their way. An idea popped into her head which


    made her suddenly throw her arms around Stephen.


    The man was stunned and bewildered by this sudden and unexpected gesture.


    “It seems that the fates keep bringing us together. First, you caught my ss. After that, you helped me


    fend off that thug. Now, we’re even staying at the same hotel. Isn’t such a profound connection just


    deserving of a hug?”


    Not far away, Mnie, who saw the entire scene ying out, was shocked to see Stephen canoodling


    with another woman.


    He… How could he?


    “What do you think you are doing, Stephen?”


    Once Mnie was done howling, she strode toward Stephen. When she stopped before them, she


    stared at Rose with eyes widened in fury.


    Relinquishing her hold on Stephen, Rose looked back innocuously at Mnie. “Who’s this?”


    “I’m his girlfriend! What were the two of you doing just now?”


    “I…” replied Stephen, scratching his head.


    “Couldn’t you tell that we were hugging? Oh, I’m sorry. Don’t misunderstand. It was just a friendly hug!


    Completely tonic and nothing else to it.”


    “A friendly hug? Do you need to hug a friend so tightly? The way I see it, you’re up to no good.”


    “It’s not what you think, Mnie. Look, I’ll exin it to youter.”


    “What more is there to exin? I saw everything with my own eyes!”


    Mnie was livid.


    A hint of smugness shed across Rose’s eyes. “Jeez. I wasn’t expecting your girlfriend to be so


    sensitive. You’d best attend to her, Stephen. I’ll take my leave now.”


    When she was turning away, she sneered at Mnie and wagged her fingers goodbye to her in


    provocation before she sashayed through the doors of the hotel.


    Stephen visually tracked Rose closely from the rear, as he was eager to pick up some more clues off of


    her.


    That, however, upset Mnie who was keeping her eyes on him. She then tugged at Stephen’s arm


    and demanded ountability from him.


    “Just one look at her skanky face, and you’ll know that she can’t be trusted. Now, promise me. I want


    you to promise that you’ll never go near this vixen again!”
