Chapter 100 - You Know Everything
Chapter 100: You Know Everything
“William! You’re really too charming! Do you know that I thought you merely wanted to watch the scene just now? I thought that you reacted quickly. As soon as you went to treat the old man, I was stunned. Then, I got so scared that my legs went limp. I thought to myself, are you serious? Who knew that you really knew how to treat illnesses!”
After William Scott and Xenia Lewis left, they exited swiftly to get off to avoid the onlookers. After getting off, she held his arm and chattered excitedly.
William Scott chuckled and said, “That’s right. I know a lot.”
Xenia Lewis hugged his arm and shook it twice. She said excitedly, “Is that so? Then what else do you know? What else are you good at? Tell me.”
William Scott was just joking. He did not expect Xenia Lewis to have such a huge reaction, especially when she hugged his arm so tightly. The contact… was indescribably wonderful, making his blood flow faster.
He coughed lightly and whispered, “Xenia, stop fooling around. There are so many people.”
“I’m not fooling around… Ah…” Xenia Lewis suddenly realized what she was doing and let go of William Scott’s hand. She took a step away and knocked into a middle-aged uncle beside her.
“Young lady, don’t fight when you walk.” The man frowned. Noticing such a beautiful girl like Xenia Lewis, he didn’t get angry, and he merely reminded her.
“I’m sorry, so sorry.” Xenia Lewis hurriedly apologized. Then, she grabbed William Scott’s arm and stuck out her tongue. She gently pinched his arm and said, “It’s all your fault. You made me embarrass myself.”
William Scott said helplessly, “It’s my fault too?”
“Who should I blame if not you?!” Xenia Lewis pinched William Scott again, but she didn’t dare to make a fuss anymore. In public, she still had to maintain her image. She had really shocked him just now.
They took a taxi and arrived at the hotel. The hotel was the venue for the event and it had been arranged by the organizers.
When the two of them arrived at the lobby, Xenia Lewis poked William Scott and said, “Those two annoying fellows are actually here too.”
......
William Scott also noticed the rude couple and said calmly, “Ignore them.”
“I can’t be bothered with them.” Xenia Lewis curled her lips in disdain.
They went to check in. Their rooms were on the twenty-second floor, and they were right beside each other.
After a quick rest in the room, Xenia Lewis came over.
“I’m done unpacking.” William Scott let her in.
She sat on the bed and said, “What’s there to unpack? Just dump the bag somewhere. I’m bored alone, so I have to find you to accompany me. The bed is not bad. It’s quite soft.”
William Scott chuckled and said, “Isn’t the bed in your room the same as mine?”
Xenia Lewis winked mischievously and said, “What’s mine is mine. Sitting on your bed feels like I’m taking advantage of you.”
The two of them chatted for a while before Xenia Lewis said, “You’re actually a doctor. Haven’t you always been a soldier?”
“I am a soldier, but we don’t have a professional medic following us when we’re out on missions. Everyone has to deal with their own injuries, so basically, some injuries can be resolved by ourselves.”
“Damn, a special forces soldier has to be so all-rounded.” Xenia Lewis grinned and said, “I thought all you need to be was to be strong in combat, or perhaps like flying a plane or something.”
“In order to survive, you have to know everything. Sometimes when we go on a mission, we might be in a jungle for months. We might encounter any situation. If we didn’t have a sufficient and swift response, we would have died countless times.”
Worry appeared in Xenia Lewis’ eyes as she said, “That’s really not easy. Then can you tell me about what happened in the jungle? I used to enjoy watching those survival movies.”
“Sure, but we’re going to the event later.”
“Then we’ll talk about it when we get back tonight.” Xenia Lewis smiled proudly and said, “You’re not allowed to go back on your word then.”
Seeing that it was about time, William Scott and Xenia Lewis arrived at a banquet hall on the fifth floor.
Tonight’s event was a cocktail party. A cocktail party was the most common way to socialize. Everyone held a glass of wine and chatted with someone for a while before flitting to another person. They could also listen to others talk and obtain some useful information to find suitable business opportunities.
When the two of them arrived, there were already quite a few people inside. Everyone was gathered in groups and chatting.
Xenia Lewis held William Scott’s arm and said nervously, “This is the first time I’m attending such a cocktail party. I’m really a little nervous. You’re actually not nervous at all. Have you attended such a party before?”
“Yes, I have.” He nodded. He had been to many cocktail parties in the past. There were all kinds of cocktail parties, even those organized by the royal family. When he attended cocktail parties, his status was different.
A cocktail party like this could only be said to be an ordinary one.
Xenia Lewis said with admiration in her eyes, “Why do I feel that there’s nothing you don’t know?”
William Scott smiled and said, “Just treat this cocktail party as a class reunion.”
She nodded and said softly, “I’ll keep following you, in case I don’t understand and do something embarrassing.”
William Scott and Xenia Lewis were new. No one here knew them, so after taking a look at them, everyone did what they should do. No one came to chat with them.
“No one cares about us. What should we do?” Xenia Lewis asked.
William Scott smiled and said, “Let’s go eat first before taking the initiative to talk to someone. We have to seek opportunities.”
The food was arranged like a buffet style. Xenia Lewis looked at William Scott who had picked up a large plate and said, “Will this make people think that we’re here to freeload?”
William Scott smiled and said, “A successful businessman won’t look down on you just because of how much you eat. Moreover, the more casual you are, the more it means that you’re not intimidated. It also proves that you participate in such events often. Then some old foxes will come and talk to us.”
“No way?” Xenia Lewis was a little suspicious. Moreover, as a girl, she was too embarrassed to fill a entire plate with food, so she casually picked some snacks.
They found a table and sat down to eat.
Watching as William Scott wolf down the food, Xenia Lewis did not feel that it was weird at all. Instead, she felt that he was quite elegant when he ate.
