Chapter 42: Not Worthy of You
Of course, William Scott wouldn’t actually listen to his mother. After a while, Yvette Quinn came over.
“Thank you for coming all this way.” Yvette Quinn sat down politely.
William Scott smiled and said, “It’s alright. It’s not far. Come, come and eat. My mother personally made it for you.”
Even in her office, he was still calm and composed, as if he was facing an old friend. This surprised Yvette Quinn even more. Even though they were familiar with each other, the pressure one felt was different under different circumstances. To be able to be so calm in her office, this guy was indeed someone who had been exposed to different situations.
“There are so many. How can I eat them all?” Yvette Quinn frowned when she saw that William Scott had opened four boxes of pies.
William Scott smiled and said, “I haven’t eaten either. Besides, each is filled with a different topping. My mother even asked me to report which kind you like.”
William Scott acted as if he was eating at home. He opened the containers, scooped up the pie, and ate one himself. He said, “This is topped with more meat. Not bad.”
Yvette Quinn shook her head. “It’s too greasy. I’m afraid I won’t be able to eat it.”
William Scott said, “Try it. Having one wouldn’t change a thing. My mother’s pie is superb, and the meat topping isn’t greasy either.”
Yvette Quinn was skeptical, but she still ate one. At first, she only took a small bite and frowned slightly. After tasting it carefully, her frown immediately relaxed. Then, she took another small bite and chewed a few times before eating the remaining half of the pie.
“How is it? It’s good, right?” William Scott asked with a smile.
“It’s indeed not bad. Auntie’s pies are really delicious,” Yvette Quinn praised.
“There’s some cheese here. Would you like some?”
......
“Let’s have some.” Yvette Quinn didn’t decline.
Soon, Yvette Quinn was full. Then she shook her head and said, “I’m full.”
“Hehe, you haven’t eaten much.”
“I ate a lot more than usual today.”
“If you’re full, just say a few words to my mother so that I can report back.” William Scott was not polite at all. After saying that, he ate the remaining pies.
Yvette Quinn took a sip of water to moisten her throat. She sent a message to Janna Sands, and it was a voice message.
“Thank you, Auntie. Your pies are delicious. I ate a lot more than usual.”
“Good! I was afraid that you wouldn’t like it. If you like it, I’ll make more pies when I’m free in the future and get William to send them to you.”
“Auntie, there’s no need. This is too much trouble for you.”
“What trouble? It’s not troublesome at all. I’m too free from work all day. I can’t wait to find something to do. If you have time in the future, come to our house to eat. If not, I’ll get William to send it to you. Tell me what you want to eat.”
Yvette Quinn looked at William Scott, who said playfully, “Think of a way to refuse. Otherwise, I’ll be delivering food every day.”
Yvette Quinn ignored him. “Auntie, I’ll really feel bad if you do this.”
His mother immediately said, “If you feel bad, then move into our house earlier. It’ll be easier for me to take care of you guys.”
William Scott was swallowing a mouthful of pie. When he heard this, the chewed pie choked in his windpipe, causing him to cough repeatedly. He was in an indescribably sorry state.
Yvette Quinn’s face turned red as well. “Auntie, this is… too early.”
“Haha, I’m sorry. I was too anxious. You know, Auntie is your fan. I didn’t expect you to become my son’s girlfriend. I really can’t see how that brat is worthy of you, so I was afraid that you would run away one day. That’s why I was especially anxious to have you stay with us, even if it wasn’t a real marriage.”
Yvette Quinn glanced at William Scott, feeling a little indignant. This guy never seemed to have any awareness that he was not worthy of her, especially in front of her parents. He was so calm being himself.
However, Yvette Quinn was a CEO after all. If it were Xenia Lewis, she would definitely take revenge on William Scott. “Auntie, I understand, but we still need some time.”
“Yes, yes, I understand. I’m just afraid that he won’t be good enough for you. You’re already a big CEO, but he doesn’t have anything yet. All he knows is to run around outside.”
“Auntie, you’re too humble. William is also a very outstanding person.”
“You really think so? Tell me what’s so good about him. What do you admire about him?”
Mom, is this how you chat? When he saw the awkward expression on Yvette Quinn’s face, William Scott placed his hand on his forehead.
Yvette Quinn reacted quickly. “William is a responsible man. In addition, he’s also very considerate. Although he doesn’t have a job now, I believe that if he wants to have a career, it will be very easy for him to achieve results.”
William Scott gave her a thumbs-up. “Impressive, impressive. You really have good taste. You actually discovered so many good points from me.”
Yvette Quinn snapped, “With Auntie on the line, could I possibly say that you’re useless?”
“What do you mean, useless? Your parents think very highly of me, okay?”
“Don’t worry. If you can do that, I’ll get your parents to approve of me as well.”
After William Scott finished his dumplings, Yvette Quinn also finished chatting with his mother.
William Scott was about to leave when Yvette Quinn called out to him, “I’m afraid I can’t be sure about going to visit your grandmother next week. After all, I would still have to stay there for a day.”
William Scott didn’t care much and said, “It’s fine. My mother knows that you’re very busy. Our goal is to make our families believe that we’re in a relationship. It’s fine as long as they don’t force us to go on blind dates in the future. Once that’s done, there are some things that we can just muddle through.”
“Mm, but when you treat my parents, you always do your best. On the other hand, I always find all kinds of reasons. This isn’t right of me. If I really can’t go, I’ll beg Xuanxuan to go in my place.”
William Scott thought for a moment and said, “Then let’s talk about it later.”
As William Scott left Yvette Quinn’s office and passed by Secretary Mira, she quickly gave William Scott a bright smile and made a mental note of his appearance. This man definitely had a special relationship with Yvette Quinn, be it a relative or a boyfriend. He was someone she had to respect.
William Scott took the elevator downstairs. As soon as he left the company, Chen Lan came forward.
“Lydia, what are you…” Su Zhifeng asked the obvious.
Chen Lan looked William Scott up and down, then coughed lightly and said, “You’ve been in the CEO’s office?”
