Chapter 38: Vicious Ex-Classmate
Fortunately, when she got busy in the afternoon, Xenia Lewis temporarily remembered this matter. William Scott finally heaved a sigh of relief. Otherwise, it would not feel good to always be guarded against by Xenia Lewis.
In addition, how strong was William Scott’s self-control? Since she always said that he had a foot fetish, he would just not look down whenever he saw women.
Sure enough, the afternoon passed without incident. The two of them picked out many things the company needed.
Now that Xenia Lewis was richer, she would make much faster decisions when buying things. In addition, the services provided by the merchants were thorough. After buying things, they were basically responsible for delivering them to her doorstep and installing them.
The next day, various deliveries began to arrive at the company. William Scott immediately instructed the workers to start installing them according to their designated location.
Another pile of office supplies arrived. This was the third batch of items of the day.
There were too many things, and there was only one worker carrying them. He didn’t know when he would be done, so William Scott personally carried them into the elevator.
Sensing that a man beside him had stopped and was secretly sizing him up, William Scott turned around.
There was a man and a woman a few meters away. Both of them were dressed in professional attire and had name tags. They were probably employees of this building.
“Liam Cole!” William Scott recognized the man and quickly walked over with a smile. “Old classmate, did you not recognize me?”
“William Scott? You’re William Scott!” The man sized up William Scott again and shouted excitedly.
William Scott gently punched Liam Cole’s chest and said, “Ha, it’s me. We haven’t seen each other for six to seven years. That skinny boy from back then has become stronger now.”
“How am I strong? I’m clearly fat.” Liam Cole chuckled.
“Aiya, William Scott, why are you still as touchy as when you were in school? You even dirtied Liam’s shirt. Don’t you know how to be more careful?” The woman beside Liam Cole took out a tissue to wipe the spot on Liam Cole’s clothes where William Scott had touched. Her face was filled with disdain.
Liam Cole immediately felt a little awkward and hurriedly said, “What are you saying? We haven’t seen each other for so long. How can I not be excited? William Scott, this is my wife. Look who this is.”
Only then did William Scott notice this woman. He sized her up carefully. The woman was also very young and looked alright. It was just that her chin was a little sharp, and there was a sense of superiority in her eyes.
Laughing, William Scott said, “I remember now. This is the proud little princess of our class, Nadia Sawyer. I really didn’t expect you to win her over. I’m really impressed.”
Liam Cole immediately became extremely proud and said, “Of course, I’m actually brilliant. It’s just that I didn’t show it in high school.”
William Scott had joined the army after graduating from high school and had never attended military school. Therefore, his high school classmates were the last group of classmates in his life.
After not meeting for six to seven years, seeing his high school classmate at this moment did feel very intimate to William Scott. It also made him very excited.
At this moment, Nadia Sawyer was frowning. Then she pursed her lips and said, “I say, William Scott, I remember that you were also an influential figure in high school. At that time, all the girls in our class were close to you. I thought that you must have been doing better after not seeing you all these years. I really didn’t expect you to be so miserable now that you can only be a mover?”
William Scott was stunned for a moment. He looked down at himself and saw that his clothes were indeed dusty from moving things. Coupled with the pile of things to be moved at the side, it was very normal for people to think that he was a mover.
Liam Cole immediately said, “How can you say that? There’s nothing to be ashamed of even if he was a mover. Every profession has its own merits. William Scott, don’t mind her. That’s just Nadia Sawyer’s temper.”
William Scott smiled and did not explain further. He said, “It’s fine, it’s fine. Isn’t this more candid and honest? In high school, Nadia Sawyer always had a sharp tongue.”
Nadia Sawyer rolled her eyes at William Scott again and shook her head. “William, I’m not being mean. All our high school classmates are doing well. Some of them got into the civil service, some are working in big companies, and some have started their own businesses. You’re definitely the first person to be a mover.”
Liam Cole felt that it would only be more awkward if they continued talking about this. He hurriedly said, “Let’s not talk about this anymore. William Scott, do you have a girlfriend?”
Before William Scott could reply, Nadia Sawyer chuckled again and said, “You’re asking such a stupid question. Think about it, which woman would be willing to find a mover? Which woman would be willing to suffer with him? Unless that woman is blind, or that woman is too ugly.”
William Scott couldn’t help but frown. This Nadia Sawyer was no longer just vicious-tongued. She didn’t think highly of him at all. She was just arrogant and spoke to him in a derogatory tone.
However, Liam Cole’s attitude was still alright. They were all classmates, so there was really no need to stoop to her level.
Nadia Sawyer smirked and said, “I’m right, aren’t I? You don’t have a girlfriend, right? Hehe, in today’s society, if a man doesn’t have ability or money, he should just stay single.”
“Who said that I’m ugly? Or that I’m blind?” As soon as Nadia Sawyer finished speaking, Xenia Lewis’s voice sounded beside William Scott. Immediately after, she hooked her arm around William Scott’s and looked at Nadia Sawyer with an unfriendly gaze.
William Scott had already seen Xenia Lewis coming over, but he did not expect her to stand up for him at this time. He gave her a look and said, “Xenia, let me introduce you. These two are my high school classmates. This is Liam Cole and this is Nadia Sawyer.”
Liam Cole and Nadia Sawyer stared at Xenia Lewis with their eyes wide open. There was nothing to criticize about Xenia Lewis’s appearance. Furthermore, she only had light makeup on. If she had worn more exquisite makeup, she would have been a devastatingly beautiful woman.
Xenia Lewis extended her hand and said, “Hello, I’m Xenia, William Scott’s girlfriend…” After shaking hands with Liam Cole, she shook hands with Nadia Sawyer and asked, “Am I ugly?”
Nadia Sawyer was very embarrassed. “You are… very beautiful.” But she was puzzled. A mover like William Scott had found such a beautiful girlfriend. This was simply not right.
