Chapter 1

In my poorest year, a fleeting thought flashed through my mind:

[Lucas Gray, the heir to the Gray Empire, is looking for a lover who can't hear his secrets.]

A lightbulb went off in my head. I decided to pretend to be deaf and mute to seduce Lucas.

No matter what scandalous things he whispered in bed, I remained impassive.

Until his first love returned from abroad, and Lucas slapped a check for ten million dollars on the table in front of me.

"You should move out for this month," he said.

I blurted out, "Sure thing, boss!"

I grabbed the check and was about to leave when I realized I'd blown my cover.

Another thought popped into my head:

[LOL, this woman is so honest. Actually, the male lead has known her secret for a long time!]

I froze on the spot, my mind going blank. Then I heard Lucas chuckle softly.

"What's wrong? Can't keep up the act anymore, little deaf girl? And here I thought you could endure anything."

Who would have thought a CEO would fancy a deaf girl?

Well, apparently mine did! In fact, he wouldn't have it any other way!

Being his "deaf" sugar baby was quite convenient. I could appear anywhere without raising suspicion.

Whether it was during confidential business discussions or industry gossip sessions, absolute secrecy was guaranteed.

Plus, I didn't have to listen to my sugar daddy's endless chatter or insults.

I could do whatever I wanted, even deliberately annoying him for fun if I felt like it.

After all, I was "deaf." I couldn't hear what he was saying, right?

Except I wasn't really deaf. I was faking it.

The only downside was sometimes... like now.

Listening to Lucas's words that were more explicit than an R-rated movie, I could only pretend not to hear and look at him with doe eyes.

Pretending he was a perfect gentleman.

In reality, I was cursing him as a pervert in my mind.

Wait! I suddenly realized, maybe his ex-girlfriend ran away because of this!

Lucas gently tapped me with his large hand.

He used sign language to ask if I was hurt and if he should be gentler.

But what he was actually saying out loud was utterly filthy.

I couldn't help but roll my eyes internally.

What a fake gentleman.

But on the surface, I looked at him pitifully, trying hard not to make a sound.

The next day, I slept until the afternoon.
