Chapter 45: Thick-Skinned
William Scott thought that it would be over if he endured it, but Xenia Lewis’s hand had no intention of stopping at all. Moreover, she was twisting it even more ruthlessly.
William Scott suddenly understood. The more he did not show anything, the more indifferent he seemed towards the pinching, and the angrier Xenia Lewis became. That was, she used more strength. Although this did not cause him any harm, it was really quite painful to keep letting her pinch him.
However, he could not reveal anything in front of Jess Lane. William Scott could only secretly reach out and pat the back of Xenia Lewis’s hand, begging for mercy.
However, Xenia Lewis had no intention of letting him off. This was clearly not sincere enough. William Scott could only hold her hand and squeeze it gently.
Xenia Lewis’s hand suddenly froze before she retracted it.
At this moment, Jess Lane’s performance ended. Xenia Lewis said, “Alright, go back and wait for the notice.”
Jess Lane quickly said, “I have other talents. I’ve been a live-streamer for two years. I…”
Xenia Lewis waved her hand indifferently and said, “That’s all for now. I’ll inform you tomorrow.”
Jess Lane had no choice but to bow and walk out of the office. However, before she walked out, Jess Lane looked at William Scott and winked at him.
William Scott couldn’t help but shiver. This wink was too sudden, and he was completely caught off guard.
“William Scott, what’s going on between you and that Jess Lane?” As soon as Jess Lane went out, Xuanxuan immediately gritted her teeth and questioned William Scott.
“She just went on a blind date with me once. Then we didn’t like each other.”
Xenia Lewis snorted and said, “You don’t like her? She winked at you just now. Do you think I can’t tell? Also, when you looked at her just now, you clearly looked very engrossed.”
......
“I think her performance is really interesting. She’s really flirtatious enough. Such a performance might attract some geeks.”
“Don’t even think about it. I would never want such a woman in the company. Hmph. A geek wouldn’t like such a woman. I’m warning you, you have Yvette. If you flirt with another woman, I’ll definitely tell her.”
“Ha, I won’t want this woman either. This woman’s character is very bad. Even if our company is doing this to earn money, we definitely can’t accept someone with bad character.”
“Bad character?”
“That’s right. After the interview, I’ll tell you about the blind date. It’s very strange.”
“That’s more like it.” Only then did Xenia Lewis let William Scott go.
At 11:30 in the morning, all the applicants were interviewed. William Scott and Xenia Lewis exchanged opinions and basically confirmed that they would take in six people. When Xenia Lewis saw Jess Lane’s name, she asked about their blind date.
William Scott roughly explained what had happened that day. This made Xenia Lewis snort. “Such a woman is really materialistic. Hmph, but I feel that she’s really stupid. If she knew that you were so powerful now, she definitely wouldn’t have said such things.”
After a busy day, William Scott returned home at around six. The food was ready and his mother was waiting for him to eat with her.
William Scott still enjoyed this kind of life. Even if he didn’t have any delicacies and only ate some ordinary home-cooked dishes, it still felt especially warm.
Just as they finished eating, there was a knock on the door. William Scott opened the door and saw Jess Lane and her mother.
“William, you’re at home. I was afraid you weren’t at home.” A smile immediately appeared on Jess’s face, and her voice was so coy that it made one’s bones tingle.
William Scott felt his scalp go numb. “What’s the matter?”
Jess Lane said, “We’re just here to visit.”
William Scott’s mother, Janna Sands, walked over at this moment. When she saw the two of them, she frowned slightly, but she still smiled and said, “Come, come in and have a seat.”
William Scott really wanted to ignore them, but this was his mother’s colleague. It wasn’t good to make things too awkward, so he could only let them in.
At this moment, Jess Lane did not sit down. Instead, she winked at William Scott and said, “Let my mother and Auntie chat. Let’s go in and chat for a while.”
William Scott hurriedly said, “There’s no need. Let’s chat together.”
At this moment, Janna Sands coughed lightly and said, “That’s right. It’s more lively when there are more people.”
Jess Lane was a little embarrassed, but she was really thick-skinned. At this moment, she smiled and said, “Auntie, after the last blind date, I went back and thought about it. I feel that we’re quite suitable.”
William Scott shrugged. “I don’t have a mansion or a luxury car.”
“If you don’t have it, you can buy it when you earn money in the future,” said Jess Lane immediately.
William Scott chuckled and said, “But I have to be filial to my parents. I’ll have to come home for a meal every once in a while if I have nothing on.”
Jess Lane immediately said, “Then I’ll come back with you. Being filial to your parents is a virtue.”
At this moment, William Scott really admired Jess Lane. Why was this woman so thick-skinned? Moreover, she could actually face him calmly even though she knew that he was targeting her. It seemed that in order to become an internet celebrity and enter the company, she really did not care about her face.
If it weren’t for his mother’s relationship with his colleagues, William Scott would have chased her away. But now, he was really having a headache. Such shameless people were often the most difficult to deal with.
At this moment, Janna Sands stood up and said, “I’m sorry, but our family is very traditional. We have high expectations for our daughter-in-law. Although we don’t expect one to be extremely virtuous, they should still have the most basic virtue of filial piety. We’re not asking our son to always come back to visit us, but if our son wants to come back, our daughter-in-law can’t interfere with that.”
Jess Lane hurriedly said, “Auntie, it’s my fault. I’ve already deeply reflected on myself. We… we don’t even have to buy a house when we get married. We’ll just stay with you.”
Janna Sands chuckled and said, “That’s not necessary. The main thing is that you’ve already missed the best opportunity. Our William already has a girlfriend now. Moreover, a girlfriend who… Well, she’s indeed very good in all aspects. I’m very satisfied.”
William Scott secretly gave his mother a thumbs up. At a critical moment, his mother would stand up for him. That would be even more useful than his words.
Janna Sands had made herself clear. Jess Lane and her mother were instantly speechless. The two of them looked at each other and did not seem too disappointed. It was as if they had already expected such a situation.
