Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo

Chapter 1908 Benefits

Janice’s second attempt at disguising her fury behind a smile was more successful. “I know I used to be resentful of Wilbur and Maya. As Dad said, we should let bygones be bygones and look forward to the future. I am now Nicholas’ fiancée and the mother of his child. It would not be proper for me to think of Wilbur that way anymore. My grudge with Maya is now a thing of the past.”

At a reciliatory gesture, she got to her feet to refill Maya’s glass of wine. “Please don’t trouble yourself, Janice. I can do it.”

“Not at all,” Janice insisted. “You must have servants at home during mealtimes, don’t you? Let me serve you tonight. Think of it as a chance for me to apologize for what transpired before.”

“But you’re pregnant!” exclaimed Maya in disbelief. “It’s not good for you or the baby to be on your feet so often!” The men glanced at each other uncomfortably as they observed the tension in the air from the increasingly formal gestures of accommodation between the two women.

Rodney felt that if Janice was as sincere as she portrayed herself to be, she would finally take up some responsibility for the sake of her unborn baby. Once the child is old enough, I’ll send her away with a large sum of money and hopefully never hear from her again.
