Chapter 49: Report to Me From Now On
After attending the cocktail party, Yvette Quinn called Xenia Lewis.
Xenia Lewis and William Scott had yet to leave the company. Xenia Lewis curled her lips and said, “This must be nothing good from Yvette.”
“It’s just a phone call. Isn’t that normal?”
“Her time is so precious. She never has time for small talk. Something must be up.”
After picking up the call, Yvette Quinn asked directly, “Xenia, were you with William Scott in the past few days?”
Xenia Lewis immediately said with a smile, “What do you mean by that? Why? Are you afraid that I’ll snatch my cousin-in-law from you?” As she spoke, she had already put the cell phone on speaker.
Yvette Quinn said, “Don’t mess around. I met a classmate of William Scott’s today. Her name is Nadia Sawyer.”
“Oh, oh, I know this person. William and I happened to bump into her that day. This woman is not a good person. Her mouth is so vicious. I was about to explode from anger when I heard that. Then, I pretended to be you and criticized her. When she saw you, was she so frightened that her legs went weak?”
Yvette Quinn said unhappily, “Don’t keep causing trouble outside, especially in my name. If you cause any trouble, it will be a problem for my company.”
“I say, Yvette, that’s a very hurtful thing to say. I look like you. That’s not my choice, but I’m also an independent individual, right? What I want to do is my own business. I can’t possibly have to consider you for everything, right?”
“What nonsense are you talking about? I never controlled what you do, but you can’t go out and cause trouble in my name.”
“I know, I know. I helped him, but I’m also helping you. You don’t appreciate it at all. You even come finding trouble with me. I really don’t know if William still has a place in your heart.”
“Ahem…” This sentence choked Yvette Quinn. She said angrily, “You don’t have to worry about me and him.”
......
“Heh, you said it yourself. In the future, you’d better not use me for your matters with William.”
“How dare you threaten me? Do you have a death wish?”
Xenia Lewis said with a smile, “I wouldn’t dare to threaten you, but if William’s mother treats you to a meal or if he needs you to be present, you’d better not let me represent you.”
“Alright, I’m convinced. However, if you encounter anything in my name or with William Scott in the future, you have to inform me in advance. Otherwise, I will deal with it very abruptly.”
“Got it. If anything involves William or me in the future, I’ll report it to you.”
After the two of them ended the call, Xenia Lewis curled her lips and said, “Did you hear that? You guys actually made me take the blame for your matters. Is there any justice in this world?”
William Scott smiled. “I’m not blaming you.”
“Hmph, if you blame me, I’ll really fly into a rage.” Xenia Lewis pouted. Then, she sized up William Scott and frowned. “That’s not right. Why didn’t Yvette call you just now?”
William Scott chuckled and said, “If she doesn’t clarify this sort of thing with you, how can she question me first?”
“That’s not right either. I don’t think I’ve heard her call you in the past few days.”
“Do you think I have time to talk to her on the phone, or does she have time?” William Scott shook his head and said, “We’ll just chat on Telegram before bed at night.”
“I’ve never seen anyone date like you guys. Seriously.” Xenia Lewis couldn’t help but shake her head.
“Alright, don’t worry about us. We’re starting tomorrow. Are you really not going to tell Yvette?”
“I won’t tell her. I definitely won’t.” Xenia Lewis raised her chin and clenched her fists tightly. She said, “At this point, it’s only because of your financing and the the favor of Millennium Productions. It has nothing to do with my efforts at all, and Yvette will scold me even more. Therefore, I must make some achievements before telling her and my family.”
William Scott said, “Alright, then let’s keep a low profile and not invite anyone.”
“Yes, yes. Keep a low profile but do things well. When our film becomes popular and wins an award, we’ll surprise them.”
As they were talking, William Scott received a message from Yvette Quinn on Telegram.
“In the future, you must inform me about anything involving Xenia.”
Xenia Lewis tilted her head and stole a glance at William Scott’s phone. William Scott smiled and said, “Look, Yvette has started lecturing me too.”
Xenia Lewis took a look and then laughed. “Then I feel better.” Then, she stopped peeking.
William Scott replied directly, “I’ll inform you when she pretends to be you.” There was no need to inform her if that wasn’t involved.
Yvette Quinn didn’t think too much about it and didn’t reply.
William Scott and Xenia Lewis checked the company carefully again and confirmed that there were no more problems before returning home to rest.
The next morning, William Scott came a little earlier than usual.
William Scott’s life over the years was indeed very exciting, but this was the first time he had such a smooth working experience. In addition, this could be considered his first business venture. It was also a novelty. At the very least, he had something to do today and it wouldn’t be boring.
As soon as they entered the building, two people greeted them. It was Nadia Sawyer and Liam Cole.
“Morning,” William Scott greeted with a smile.
Liam Cole and Nadia Sawyer blushed at his smile. Nadia Sawyer nudged Qian with her shoulder. Liam Cole opened his mouth but smiled bitterly, not knowing how to begin.
William Scott knew why the two of them were looking for him. He smiled and said, “Old classmates, don’t tell me you treat me as our strict old form teacher?”
William Scott’s joke finally made the two of them feel a little more natural. Liam Cole smiled bitterly and said, “William Scott, that day, Nadia Sawyer and I…”
William Scott patted Liam Cole’s shoulder and said, “It’s just a joke between classmates. What’s wrong with that?”
Liam Cole’s face turned even redder. “You still care about our friendship as classmates, but we’re too pragmatic… I’m really embarrassed to come looking for you.”
Nadia Sawyer also blushed and said, “William Scott, I apologize. I hope you…”
“It’s fine. Our relationship as classmates can’t be erased over time. However, if you want to work with Yvette’s company, I think we still have to be impartial. I won’t let her have any special care because of our relationship as classmates. I hope you can understand.”
