I Met The Female CEO While Escaping A Blind Date-Chapter 33
Chapter 33: Xenia, You Take Over
After being bombarded by his mother, William Scott finally ran back to his room and sent Yvette Quinn a message.
โIโm so sorry my mom bothered you.โ ๐๐๐e๐ธ๐๐ฏ๐ฏ๐ผ๐el.๐๐m
โIโve said it before. If you help me, Iโll help you too. Itโs just mutually beneficial.โ
โNow that you mention it, I feel more at ease.โ
โOkay, come pick me up at the office tomorrow at six. Weโll go together.โ
โOkay.โ
โXenia is with me, so I wonโt talk to you anymore.โ
Recalling his motherโs nagging, William Scott guessed that Yvette Quinn was probably being nagged at by Xenia Lewis as well. After all, Xenia Lewis had mentioned several times that there was something wrong with their relationship.
The next day, William Scott and Xenia Lewis got busy with the new office. Not only were the two of them there, but they had also transferred the remaining four people from the company over.
Xenia Lewis really wished she had a few more legs to move faster. The rent per day was 5000 dollars. Every bit of time she wasted was money.
The facilities in the office building were quite complete. There were some work desks and sofas in the office. However, due to the uniqueness of their company, the hall still needed to be rearranged and some space was needed.
There were also some filming equipment. In the past, Xenia Lewis didnโt have any money and a lot of what she owned were second-hand items. Now, she naturally had to buy some new ones.
In addition, the company needed to expand now. There would definitely not be enough staff. They still needed to recruit some people, especially artistes. ๐๐e๐ฆwโฏ๐๐๐ฮฝโฏ๐.co๐บ
......
Of course, they didnโt have the ability to hire professional artistes. Now, they only recruited those who werenโt professionals yet but who wanted to join this industry. There were many young men and women who filmed short videos every day. They dreamed of becoming popular overnight and reaching the peak of their lives.
Among them, there were people who had dreams about acting. There were also many who wanted to reap the benefits without working hard. In short, this industry gave many young people opportunities.
When it was almost 5 pm, Xenia Lewis said to William Scott, โGo and fetch my sister. Donโt be late.โ
โOhโฆ I almost forgot about that.โ William Scott finally remembered.
โYouโฆโ Xenia Lewis rolled her eyes at William Scott.
โHaha, okay.โ William Scott was about to leave when his cell phone rang. It was Yvette Quinn.
The moment the call went through, Yvette Quinn said anxiously, โSomething critical happened at my company and I have to deal with it personally, so I canโt go to your place for dinner tonight.โ
โDamnโฆ alright then.โ Although this caught William Scott off guard, he still chose to forgive her.
โI promised Auntie already, it wouldnโt be good if I didnโt go. Iโm thinking of getting Xenia to pretend to be me at your place. Anyway, the two of us are very alike. If itโs not someone close to us, itโs impossible to tell.โ
โGet Xenia to go? Will that work?โ
โItโs okay. Xenia is a smart girl. Her adaptability is better than mine. Sheโll definitely be able to act well. Iโll call her immediately.โ
William Scott hung up the phone and looked at Xenia Lewis. Xenia Lewis was busy and said, โWhy are you still here? Eh? Why is your expression so weird?โ
โYvette canโt make it to my house today. She said to get you to pass off as her, and sheโs going to call you right away to tell you.โ
โF*ck!โ Xenia Lewisโs eyes widened. Before she could say anything, her cell phone rang.
Xenia Lewis quickly picked up the call and said, โYvette, itโs not even time to knock off yet, and youโre actually calling me.โ
โDonโt say such useless things. I have something on today and canโt go to William Scottโs house. You can pretend to be me.โ
โWhat? Iโll pretend to be you? Are you kidding me?โ Xenia Lewis exclaimed exaggeratedly before blinking at William Scott.
โThereโs nothing I can do about it. I really canโt leave something as sudden as this. Besides, Iโve already promised William Scottโs mother. It would be too unreasonable if I donโt go. Help me this once and Iโll reward you later.โ
โRewardโฆ This is not easy. This rewardโฆโ
โWhy are you talking so much nonsense? Hurry up. Contact William Scott and discuss with him what to do.โ
โFine, fine. You begged me, yet you still have such an attitude. How can an elder cousin be like this? Hmph.โ
After expressing her grievances and unwillingness, Xenia Lewis hung up the phone. Then, she immediately smiled and said to William Scott, โHow is it? My acting skills arenโt bad, right?โ
William Scott chuckled. โIndeed, I feel that you shouldnโt aim to be a director, but to be an actor instead.โ
Xenia Lewis immediately raised her chin and said, โYou donโt understand. The director needs to have a more accurate grasp of all kinds of acting skills and characters before he can produce a good film. This is much harder than being an actor.โ
โAlright, then Iโve underestimated you. CEO Yvette Quinn, shouldnโt we leave now?โ
Xenia Lewis immediately held William Scottโs arm and smiled sweetly. โAlright, William. Itโs my first time visiting your house today, so I canโt go empty-handed. What gift should I buy for your mother? Sigh, Iโll have to ask Yvette for reimbursement later.โ
Xenia Lewis had directly gone into character, but the last sentence was a mumble to herself.
There were two other employees in the lobby. They stole a glance and quickly looked away.
Because Delilah Xenos had mocked the relationship between the two of them, Xenia Lewis and William Scott had discussed for a while. The two of them wouldnโt reveal their actual relationship, and would just be known as business partners. When they spoke to each other, they called each other by name.
When the employees saw the two of them together, they felt that they had a good relationship but they didnโt seem like a couple. Now that they suddenly saw Xenia Lewis holding William Scottโs arm, they were even more confused.
They couldnโt understand it and didnโt dare to ask. They could only keep it in their hearts.
William Scott only went to buy some fruits before bringing Xenia Lewis home. When they arrived downstairs, Xenia Lewis was no longer as calm. She stopped in his tracks and pouted. โCan I really do this? Will I be exposed?โ
William Scott comforted her. โItโs fine. My mother isnโt a tiger. You donโt have to be nervous.โ
โItโs my first time meeting my mother-in-law, and I canโt help but feel flustered. Everyone says that old ladies like to make things difficult for their daughters-in-law. If I donโt handle it well, or if I donโt perform well, what if your mother is dissatisfied?โ
William Scott looked at Xenia Lewisโs flustered expression and couldnโt help but laugh. โDefinitely not. My mom is a fan of Yvette Quinn. She might even be a braindead fan. No matter what you say or do, she will definitely like you.โ
โOh, right, Iโm Yvette Quinn now. Even if something happens, Yvette Quinn will be the scapegoat. What am I afraid of?โ Once Xenia Lewis said that, she immediately perked up. She puffed out her chest and held William Scottโs arm as they walked into the building.
