Chapter 81: I’m Your Girlfriend Now
“Did you arrange all this?”
After a while, Yvette Quinn finally recovered from her shock and stared at William Scott.
“I guess so.” William Scott didn’t deny it. Then he picked up his chopsticks and said, “Damn, I forgot to ask that b*stard to pay the bill. Now we have to pay for these food ourselves.”
Yvette Quinn’s face darkened. “You actually destroyed Director Woods completely. You…” She didn’t know how to describe it.
William Scott picked up a mouthful of food and stuffed it into his mouth. As he chewed, he said vaguely, “Sit down and eat. We spent our money on this. It’ll be a huge loss if we don’t eat it.”
“You…” The corners of Yvette Quinn’s mouth twitched. Then, she picked up her chopsticks and picked up some food for William Scott. “Eat! You only know how to eat. I shall eat with you today.”
After eating for a while, her resentment disappeared. Then, she softened her tone and said, “William, thank you so much for today.”
William Scott took a sip of water and said, “It’s nothing. Although I’m your fake boyfriend, I still have to do my duty to protect my girlfriend.”
“If you want to put it that way, I really can’t thank you anymore. Well… how did you do it? Charles Woods came from a powerful background. In just a few days, you have him arrested.”
William Scott leaned back and burped comfortably. “I’m not that capable. It’s just that someone I know happened to be investigating him. I just conveniently assisted him.”
“I see.” For some reason, Yvette Quinn felt a little relieved. This seemed to make sense. If this matter was really orchestrated by William Scott, then this man was too terrifying.
William Scott chuckled and said, “Do you think I did this myself?”
Yvette Quinn’s tone was much more relieved. “I agree. I think it’s scary.”
......
After dinner, the two of them left. Yvette Quinn drove William Scott back to his place.
William Scott did not get out of the car. He said, “It’s Saturday the day after tomorrow. Will you be able to go to my grandmother’s house?”
“You’ve helped me so much. I’ll definitely try my best to make time for you, but the company has been in a mess for the past two days because of the loan. I’m really afraid I won’t be able to make time. If I can’t go on Saturday, then I’ll get Xenia to help. Is that okay?”
Yvette Quinn sounded gentle and soft.
William Scott nodded. “If it’s too much trouble, I’ll just tell my mother.”
Yvette Quinn shook her head. “That’s not very nice. After all, I promised your mother a long time ago. She would be very disappointed if I couldn’t turn up. I can’t go back on my word.”
“All right then, do as you see fit.” William Scott got out of the car and waved before leaving.
On Friday afternoon, Yvette Quinn sent a message to William Scott. “I’m really sorry. I won’t be able to make it tomorrow. I have to get Xenia to help. I’ve already told her.”
Less than two minutes after Yvette Quinn sent him the message, Xenia Lewis entered his office aggressively.
She slammed her small hand on the desk and snorted. “Hey, the two of you are too much! Can’t you two date each other properly? You actually want me to replace her when you go back to see your elders. Aren’t you going a little overboard?”
William Scott shrugged and said, “I told your sister that it’s all right, but she said that it’s impolite. If you don’t want to go, I’ll find another excuse. Actually, this isn’t a big deal.”
“I didn’t say I wasn’t going. Are you displeased with me?” Xenia Lewis glared at William Scott.
He replied sincerely, “I didn’t. I just feel bad about letting you take her place.”
“What choice do I have? My sister doesn’t know what’s important and what’s not. How can she not turn up when she is meeting her boyfriend’s family? Forget it, forget it! For the sake of her future happiness, I can only bite the bullet and help you again.”
As he spoke, Xenia Lewis’ phone sounded.
She quickly took a look and replied. “Auntie, I’ll pick you up tomorrow morning. Do I still need to prepare anything?”
“Oh, it’s my first time going there. I can’t go empty-handed, especially since it’s Grandma’s birthday. I have to prepare a gift. Otherwise, it would be rude.”
Xenia Lewis was obviously chatting with his mother. This made William Scott wonder what was going on. How could she chat with his mother?
After Xenia Lewis replied, she went to William Scott. She said proudly, “Are you very surprised?”
William Scott nodded and said, “That’s right. Are you chatting with my mother? Did you use your sister’s number?”
“Do you think my sister is stupid? My sister is so smart. The number she used to converse with your mom has changed. She and I can both use this number. This way, when I use her identity, there wouldn’t be any hiccups.”
William Scott gave her a thumbs up and said, “The two of you are really thoughtful.”
Xenia Lewis said with a smile, “That’s a must. We have to love our profession. Pretending to be my sister now is also a form of training for my acting skills. Art comes from life.”
“Now that you’ve opened a film and television company, how could you possibly not have an opportunity to perform?”
“That’s different. Those performances always have a script prepared in advance, so the direction of the story is clear. But impersonating my sister is completely different. Although there’s a general script, there’s a lot of uncertainty about it. That’s extremely challenging, so I find it especially fun.”
William Scott chuckled and said, “Life is like a movie. Actually, we’re acting every day. It’s just that you’re acting as yourself.”
Xenia Lewis looked at William Scott in surprise and said, “Not bad, you’re quite philosophical. Have you heard of that philosophical song?”
William Scott was confused. “A philosophical song?”
“The mountain roads have eighteen curves. The roads underwater are linked nine ways…”
“Pfft, this philosophy is really funny.” William Scott laughed.
It was Xenia Lewis’ turn to widen her eyes. She sized him up and said, “You’re not deliberately teasing me, right?”
“What’s wrong? It’s indeed quite funny. You have a sense of humor.” William Scott smiled at Xenia Lewis.
“Pfft, my brother, you’re really hilarious. This is just a joke. I thought you’ve heard of it before.” Xenia Lewis couldn’t help but laugh. She said, “As the CEO of our company, you have to be more sensitive about the entertainment industry, okay?”
“CEO Lewis is always right.”
“I’m CEO Quinn now. Pay attention to how you address me. Besides…” Xenia Lewis placed her hand on William Scott’s shoulder and leaned over. “I’m also your girlfriend.”
