Chapter 57: You Look Better When You Smile
“What? Your company is still encountering problems?” Janna Sands’ eyes widened as if she had heard something unbelievable.
Yvette Quinn smiled sweetly. “The company is so big. There will always be problems. It can be resolved quickly.”
Janna Sands nodded repeatedly and said, “Not bad, not bad. You’re so capable and nothing can stump you. If William were to encounter this, he would definitely be in trouble.”
William Scott’s face darkened. His mother looked down on him so much?
Noticing William Scott’s expression, Yvette Quinn burst out laughing. “He is also very capable.”
“Don’t praise him. I’ve seen him grow up. It’s you who’s capable. You became the CEO of such a big company at such a young age.”
Yvette Quinn replied modestly, “It’s just a job.”
“Not everyone can do the job. Anyway, in my heart, you’re the best, Yvette.”
In order to portray the same personality, Yvette Quinn could only think of acting according to Xenia Lewis’ personality. However, after doing so, she suddenly felt that it was a good idea to speak like this. She was more comfortable.
After chatting for almost an hour, William Scott said, “Mom, Yvette still has to work tomorrow morning. I have to send her back.”
Although Janna Sands was reluctant, she still sent Yvette Quinn out. When Yvette Quinn was about to leave, she asked softly, “Why don’t you… stay here?”
Yvette Quinn said awkwardly, “Perhaps another time.”
“Ha… yes, yes. I’m not in a hurry. I’m just asking.”
......
William Scott walked Yvette Quinn down the stairs. “My mother often speaks without thinking. I apologize on her behalf.”
Still smiling, she said, “It’s okay. I don’t mind. Parents with sons might have such thoughts.” She got into the car and started the engine.
William Scott waved at her. “You look better when you smile.”
The smile on Yvette Quinn’s face froze. Then she stepped on the accelerator and the car disappeared from view.
When William Scott returned, his mother complained that he wasn’t proactive and didn’t work hard. He could only laugh it off and return to the bedroom after taking a shower.
There was a bunch of messages on his phone. William Scott first read the messages from Xenia Lewis.
“Hello, hello, hello. Any progress?”
“Ha… still no reply to my message. Looks like something is happening.”
“Pfft, don’t tell me you will end up in bed today?”
William Scott looked at Xenia Lewis’ message and the corners of his mouth curled up. He had a happy smile on his face.
“What are you talking about? Your sister came to my house and talked to my mother for a while.”
Xenia Lewis immediately replied, “Damn, my sister went too. I didn’t expose myself, right? After I came back that day, I reflected that I didn’t imitate my sister’s way of speaking.”
“Yeah. At first my mom realized something was wrong, too. Then your sister realized it. Then she started talking to my mom just like you.”
“Pfft! Then isn’t she imitating me? Haha, this is so funny. Am I the real deal or is she the real deal?”
William Scott also replied with a smile, “That’s right. I was also dumbfounded at that time. Who exactly is pretending to be who?”
“It’s too fun. She’s your girlfriend, but she can’t be herself. I’m so amused.” Xenia Lewis sent an emoji expressing her feelings right now.
The two of them chatted happily for a while before William Scott read the message that Liam Cole sent him.
“William Scott, there’s a class reunion tomorrow night. Are you going?”
He immediately replied, “Sure, where and what time? I’ll definitely attend.”
Liam Cole also immediately replied, “Tomorrow at six-thirty at New Dragon Villa.”
“No problem. I’ll be there on time.”
“You can bring your girlfriend. Are you bringing her?”
“Forget it. We won’t be able to have fun if we bring her along.” William Scott rejected him directly. After all, she wasn’t his real girlfriend, so there was no need to bring an imposter on such an occasion.
“Yes, yes. I know you like to keep a low profile. If you force your girlfriend to come, you’ll scare them to death.”
William Scott felt a little amused. This fake girlfriend seemed to make him proud.
The next day was Friday. William Scott went to work as usual. At four in the afternoon, Xenia Lewis finished her work and came to his office. When she saw that he was watching a video on his phone, she immediately pouted and said, “You’re indeed the big boss. I’m so busy. You’re having fun here.”
William Scott smiled and said, “I’m also studying the trend of the market to see what kind of videos are the popular ones.”
“Hmph, I don’t believe you.” Xenia Lewis picked up the cup on the table and went to the water dispenser to get a glass of water. She drank a few mouthfuls.
That was William Scott’s cup, but he did not stop her. In front of him, Xenia Lewis was always so carefree. Not to mention using a cup, she had had a lot of physical contact with him these days, although it was not overboard.
“I’ll leave early today.”
“Dating my sister again?” Xenia Lewis’ eyes were filled with eagerness and curiosity.
“No, a class reunion.”
Xenia Lewis curled her lips and said, “Class gathering? With that snobbish female classmate?”
William Scott smiled and said, “I don’t know who is attending either, but I haven’t seen them for many years. I still want to meet everyone and reminisce about my carefree life in high school.”
“High school… the age of the first awakening of love.” Xenia Lewis sat opposite William Scott. She placed her elbows on the table and rested her chin on her hand. She blinked and said, “Tell me, was there any girl you have a crush on?”
William Scott puffed out his chest and said, “A crush? Is that something I should have? Let me tell you, when I was in high school, it was definitely the most glorious time. All the girls in my class had a crush on me. Even the girls in the other classes had a crush on me. At that time, I would arrive at school every morning with love letters on my desk.”
“Braggart! Just brag as much as you can!” Xenia Lewis pouted with disdain.
“What do you mean by bragging? You don’t know how popular I was back then.”
“Forget it. That snobbish female classmate obviously never had a crush on you.”
“Pfft…” William Scott was at a loss for words. He rolled his eyes and said, “That’s because love has turned to hatred. I ignored her at that time, so she always hated me.”
“Oh…” Xenia Lewis suddenly slapped the table and laughed.” I really didn’t expect you to be bragging so much. But with you bragging like this, I really want to see which female classmates were secretly in love with you. Why don’t… you bring me there? ”
