Chapter 52: Unpredictable
William Scott smiled and said, “Rabbits don’t eat grass by their burrows. Besides, if I mess around with the employees, this company will be ruined by me in two days. Besides, if I behave so badly in front of you, wouldn’t I be even worse off if you tell your sister?”
Xenia Lewis sneered at William Scott and said, “You have a glib tongue, but don’t get too close to those actresses in the future. I’m not doubting your character, but if you get too close to them, it’s easy for some people to have fantasies. They want to rely on their relationship with you to climb up the ranks and then, they won’t work hard.”
“That makes sense. I’ll try not to go near them in the future.”
“That’s more like it.” Xenia Lewis nodded in satisfaction.
William Scott continued, “I observed for a while just now and realized that Yasmin Sun is not bad. She’s very hardworking.”
“Oh?” Xenia Lewis immediately looked at William Scott warily.
William Scott rolled his eyes and said, “Xenia, look at you. When I say that a girl is not bad, you’re filled with hostility. People who don’t understand the situation will think that I’m your boyfriend.”
“Pfft, dream on.” Xenia Lewis’ face turned red and she said fiercely, “You still dare to have designs on me?”
William Scott quickly said, “I said that others will think so.”
“What do you mean by other people? I think it’s because you have ill intentions towards me. That’s what you really think and then you deliberately blame others. You’re really too dirty. You’re not satisfied with my sister, but you actually dare to have designs on me.”
William Scott widened his eyes and looked at Xenia Lewis with a dark expression. This girl’s logic was really unimaginable.
“Look at you, you’re staring at me. Oh my god, you’re actually targeting me.” Xenia Lewis looked very terrified.
William Scott’s expression darkened. He really had to hand it to her.
“Hehe…” Xenia Lewis suddenly laughed and said, ”Look at how scared you are. I’m joking with you. I’m not the kind of girl who is so egoistic. I know what your attitude towards me is. ”
William Scott finally heaved a sigh of relief and said, “You scared me to death. I thought that I wouldn’t be able to clear my name even if I jumped into the Pacific Ocean this time.”
“Hey, what do you mean? Why? Am I that scary?” Unexpectedly, Xenia Lewis widened her eyes again.
“Can you be more reasonable?” William Scott felt like crying. It was so difficult to reason with a woman.
“All right… You actually accuse me of being unreasonable.” Xenia Lewis stood up and came to him. She reached out her hand and grabbed his waist. “Try saying that again.”
William Scott gritted his teeth and said, “My lady, let’s not talk about it anymore. You’re the most reasonable person in the world.”
Xenia Lewis let go of William Scott, raised her chin, and pouted. “I was just teasing you. I merely saw you hanging out with those girls earlier on. And I wanted to teach you a lesson on behalf of my sister.”
William Scott rolled his eyes and remained silent.
“All right, I apologize. Don’t be so petty.” Xenia Lewis patted his shoulder ingratiatingly.
“You…” William Scott didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
“Let me tell you, we’re all very worried about my sister. She is a workaholic who won’t be able to find a good man. It’s not easy for her to find a workaholic who likes her and can accept her. Furthermore, you’re so outstanding. Naturally, we have to keep an eye on you for my sister.”
William Scott shook his head and said, “I can’t accept your kindness. I’m afraid your sister won’t like it too much.”
Xenia Lewis stuck her head out, her face only ten centimeters away from William Scott’s. She said with a smile, “I know, I’m just teasing you. I treat you like my own brother-in-law, so I went a little overboard when I argued with you. You won’t be so petty and be angry with me, right?”
William Scott gently tapped her forehead and said, “Who can bear to be angry with a cheerful person like you?”
“I know you’re the most magnanimous. Let’s continue talking about Yasmin Sun.” Xenia Lewis grinned. She didn’t care about such small actions.
William Scott did not know whether to laugh or cry. He knew very well that although Xenia Lewis seemed to be joking with him, she was actually reminding him. However, this was not surprising. Surrounded by beauties all day long who can sing and dance was definitely not a small temptation for men.
However, William Scott did not mind. Yvette Quinn was his fake girlfriend, and so was this sister-in-law. If there was really a woman who could touch his heart, he would be upfront about it.
After telling Xenia Lewis about Yasmin Sun’s performance today, she nodded repeatedly and said, “Her attitude is very likable, but it still depends on her ability. In the industry of actors, hard work isn’t the only thing that matters. She still needs true talent. Otherwise, she can only be a streamer.”
William Scott said, “Yes, even if we were to sell one’s looks and temperament, I think it is feasible.”
William Scott and Xenia Lewis were very certain about the company’s long-term direction. They wanted to produce short videos with content. It was similar to that of a television series or an online novel.
However, it would definitely take a long time to create that. The return of profits would also be very slow.
In the early stages, they had to make some trendy short videos and to focus on appearances. They might not be able to earn much money, but at the very least, they could let these actors train their acting skills. This was also what Xenia Lewis and William Scott thought.
As they were talking, his phone rang. It was actually Yvette Quinn.
Xenia Lewis tilted her head and saw the name displayed on the screen. A flirtatious smile appeared on her face as she nudged William Scott’s arm with her shoulder and said, “Hurry up and answer it.”
William Scott could only answer the call and deliberately lower the volume to prevent Xenia Lewis from eavesdropping. she did inch closer and pressed her face against his.
“Tonight I have a dinner appointment. Do you have time to join me?”
“Dinner? You need me to attend?” William Scott was a little surprised.
Yvette Quinn answered, “Yes, I’m worried that they’ll force me to drink. If I’m alone, I’m worried that something will happen.”
“Okay, no problem.” William Scott was a little puzzled. Why did he feel that Yvette Quinn really treated him as her boyfriend? However, he still agreed readily. After all, he still needed her to help him deal with his family.
“Okay, then pick me up at my company tonight.”
