Chapter 61: Be My Assistant
After entering the private room, Sheila Zinc and Ronan Toft were still the center of the crowd. When the two of them sat down, the others also sat down.
William Scott and Xavier Herd sat together and chatted softly.
Actually, some of them who were doing well would look down on those who were not doing well. But most of them were still at the beginning of their career. There was not much difference, and their sense of superiority was not that strong. They did not really look down on William Scott and Xavier Herd. Otherwise, Xavier Herd would not have participated in the class gathering.
However, with Sheila Zinc’s return and Ronan Toft paying the bill, everyone naturally surrounded the two of them and ignored Xavier Herd and William Scott.
Soon, the dishes were placed on the table, and the atmosphere became livelier. Everyone drank and subconsciously chatted about interesting memories in high school.
At this moment, William Scott finally felt that he was at a class reunion. In his opinion, a class reunion shouldn’t be about comparing successes. Instead, it should be about reminiscing about those happy times and keeping contact.
“Hey, did you notice that Sheila Zinc has been looking at you?” Xavier Herd secretly poked William Scott and whispered.
How could William Scott not notice it? He deliberately pretended to be confused and said, “No way.”
“How could I not know what was on your mind when you were in school? At that time, Sheila Zinc had never been interested in you. I didn’t expect her to be so interested in you now. As a man, you should take the initiative.”
William Scott grinned and said, “Stop spouting nonsense. You were so innocent in high school. Now that I think about it, it’s ridiculous.”
After a few drinks, everyone was no longer sitting in their seats. From time to time, they would get up to chat and toast others.
Sheila Zinc also stood up. This was the first time she had taken the initiative to stand up. Everyone turned to look at her and saw that she was holding a glass in her hand. It was obvious that she wanted to find someone to toast her, even if it was only a non-alcoholic drink.
Everyone was looking forward to it. If Sheila Zinc came to drink with them, it would definitely be a very proud moment.
......
Unexpectedly, Sheila Zinc walked directly behind William Scott and said to Xavier Herd, “Xavier, can we exchange seats?”
“Okay.” Xavier Herd was extremely excited. He gave William Scott an ambiguous look and quickly slipped away.
Seeing Sheila Zinc sit in Xavier Herd’s seat, everyone suddenly fell silent and stared at the two of them.
The atmosphere was a little strange. Sheila Zinc looked around and said, “Why is everyone looking at me? I’m just talking to William Scott.”
Silence. Complete silence. Pairs of eyes were still focused on both of them.
Sheila Zinc was a little speechless. She said to William Scott, “William, let’s go out and talk. I have something to tell you.”
William Scott met her gaze and nodded. Then, he stood up and walked out with her.
“Damn, no way. Is Sheila Zinc mistaken? She’s actually chatting with William Scott in private.”
“Didn’t you hear Sheila Zinc say that she has something to say? Don’t think too much. Who is she? She’s God’s favored one. How can she be compared to William Scott?”
“That’s right. One belongs to the sky and the other is on the ground. I really don’t know what’s in your head.”
“In my opinion, Sheila Zinc must have wanted to lend William Scott a hand on account of their friendship when she knew that he wasn’t doing well. She was afraid that he would feel embarrassed, so she went out to speak to him in private.”
“That must be it. Sheila Zinc is just so kind-hearted. She’s already so successful now, but she still attended the class reunion. She’s someone who cares about old times.”
While everyone was discussing happily inside, William Scott and Sheila Zinc had already exited.
“Take a walk with me. The scenery looks nice.” Sheila Zinc still had a faint smile on her face.
William Scott nodded. He could hear the discussion in the room clearly, and Sheila Zinc could definitely hear it too.
The two of them walked side by side along the orchard path in silence. After a while, he asked, “Didn’t you have something to tell me?”
Sheila Zinc stopped in her tracks and bit her lip slightly, as if she found it difficult to speak.
William Scott’s boldness emerged and he asked, “What’s wrong? Is there something you can’t say? Or have you encountered some difficulties? We’re ex-classmates. No matter what problem you encounter, I’ll definitely help you.”
Sheila Zinc’s eyes suddenly moistened. He was still the William Scott in her heart. She said softly, “William Scott, I’m really in trouble. Why don’t… you come and help me?”
“Help you? What is it regarding?” William Scott was merely joking. He didn’t expect Sheila Zinc to really be in trouble.
“This…” Sheila Zinc took a deep breath and calmed herself down. Her eyebrows curved into crescents again. “I don’t have an assistant. Come and be my assistant.”
“Assistant?” William Scott’s eyes widened. He pointed at himself first. “I’m a man. For you…” He pointed at her and said, “Be an assistant for a beautiful woman like you? ”
“That’s right,” Sheila Zinc said with certainty. “When I’m out now, I have to walk by myself. Most of the time, it’s inconvenient. I need an assistant to help me manage my work and personal life. I won’t feel at ease if I find someone else. You’re my ex-classmate. You definitely won’t harm me. I would definitely feel at ease if I hire you.”
William Scott tilted his head and looked at Sheila Zinc. “But you’re a beautiful woman and I’m a man. Isn’t it… inconvenient for me to manage your life?”
Sheila Zinc blushed a little, but she still did not avoid his gaze. She said, “This is very normal. Many female celebrities actually have male assistants. Although women look meticulous, men can also possess this trait. Men are stronger, so there are some things that women can’t do. Besides, would you do anything to me?”
William Scott rubbed his nose and said, “That’s hard to say. You’re so beautiful. This is a huge temptation for men. No man can withstand such temptation.”
“You still think I’m beautiful now too?” Sheila Zinc’s eyes glistened, and there was actually excitement and anticipation in her eyes.
“Of course.” William Scott was a little surprised that a woman like Sheila Zinc would focus on this.
“Then you agree?” Sheila Zinc said excitedly, “All right! You can go back and prepare. Join me in two days.”
William Scott was dumbfounded. What was going on? Had he accepted her offer?
