I Met The Female CEO While Escaping A Blind Date

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.

“I’m so sorry my mom bothered you.”

“I’ve said it before. If you help me, I’ll help you too. It’s just mutually beneficial.”

“Now that you mention it, I feel more at ease.”

“Okay, come pick me up at the office tomorrow at six. We’ll go together.”

“Okay.”

“Xenia is with me, so I won’t talk to you anymore.”

Recalling his mother’s 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 didn’t 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.

......

Of course, they didn’t have the ability to hire professional artistes. Now, they only recruited those who weren’t 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, “Go and fetch my sister. Don’t be late.”

“Oh… I almost forgot about that.” William Scott finally remembered.

“You…” Xenia Lewis rolled her eyes at William Scott.

“Haha, okay.” 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, “Something critical happened at my company and I have to deal with it personally, so I can’t go to your place for dinner tonight.”

“Damn… alright then.” Although this caught William Scott off guard, he still chose to forgive her.

“I promised Auntie already, it wouldn’t be good if I didn’t go. I’m thinking of getting Xenia to pretend to be me at your place. Anyway, the two of us are very alike. If it’s not someone close to us, it’s impossible to tell.”

“Get Xenia to go? Will that work?”

“It’s okay. Xenia is a smart girl. Her adaptability is better than mine. She’ll definitely be able to act well. I’ll call her immediately.”

William Scott hung up the phone and looked at Xenia Lewis. Xenia Lewis was busy and said, “Why are you still here? Eh? Why is your expression so weird?”

“Yvette can’t make it to my house today. She said to get you to pass off as her, and she’s going to call you right away to tell you.”

“F*ck!” Xenia Lewis’s eyes widened. Before she could say anything, her cell phone rang.

Xenia Lewis quickly picked up the call and said, “Yvette, it’s not even time to knock off yet, and you’re actually calling me.”

“Don’t say such useless things. I have something on today and can’t go to William Scott’s house. You can pretend to be me.”

“What? I’ll pretend to be you? Are you kidding me?” Xenia Lewis exclaimed exaggeratedly before blinking at William Scott.

“There’s nothing I can do about it. I really can’t leave something as sudden as this. Besides, I’ve already promised William Scott’s mother. It would be too unreasonable if I don’t go. Help me this once and I’ll reward you later.”

“Reward… This is not easy. This reward…”

“Why are you talking so much nonsense? Hurry up. Contact William Scott and discuss with him what to do.”

“Fine, fine. You begged me, yet you still have such an attitude. How can an elder cousin be like this? Hmph.”

After expressing her grievances and unwillingness, Xenia Lewis hung up the phone. Then, she immediately smiled and said to William Scott, “How is it? My acting skills aren’t bad, right?”

William Scott chuckled. “Indeed, I feel that you shouldn’t aim to be a director, but to be an actor instead.”

Xenia Lewis immediately raised her chin and said, “You don’t 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.”

“Alright, then I’ve underestimated you. CEO Yvette Quinn, shouldn’t we leave now?”

Xenia Lewis immediately held William Scott’s arm and smiled sweetly. “Alright, William. It’s my first time visiting your house today, so I can’t go empty-handed. What gift should I buy for your mother? Sigh, I’ll have to ask Yvette for reimbursement later.”

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 wouldn’t 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 didn’t seem like a couple. Now that they suddenly saw Xenia Lewis holding William Scott’s arm, they were even more confused.

They couldn’t understand it and didn’t 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. “Can I really do this? Will I be exposed?”

William Scott comforted her. “It’s fine. My mother isn’t a tiger. You don’t have to be nervous.”

“It’s my first time meeting my mother-in-law, and I can’t help but feel flustered. Everyone says that old ladies like to make things difficult for their daughters-in-law. If I don’t handle it well, or if I don’t perform well, what if your mother is dissatisfied?”

William Scott looked at Xenia Lewis’s flustered expression and couldn’t help but laugh. “Definitely 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.”

“Oh, right, I’m Yvette Quinn now. Even if something happens, Yvette Quinn will be the scapegoat. What am I afraid of?” Once Xenia Lewis said that, she immediately perked up. She puffed out her chest and held William Scott’s arm as they walked into the building.
