I Met The Female CEO While Escaping A Blind Date

Chapter 82: The Truth of Life

“CEO Scott… Ah!”

William Scott’s office door flung open. When Yasmin Sun arrived at the door, she saw Xenia Lewis leaning against William Scott. She let out a low cry and blushed. She wanted to retreat instantly.

Xenia Lewis actually maintained her posture and said, “Come in.”

Yasmin Sun stood at the door and stammered, “I’ll come back later.”

“Just come in.” Xenia Lewis raised her eyebrows and stood up. Then, she gave William Scott a warning look before she walked out. She closed the door after her.

Yasmin Sun came to William Scott’s desk. Her face was red as she said fearfully, “CEO Scott, I… I didn’t do it on purpose. I won’t spout nonsense.”

William Scott smiled and said, “It’s nothing. CEO Lewis was talking about a role with me and she got into character herself.”

Yasmin Sun immediately said with admiration, “Ah, CEO Lewis is so awesome. I couldn’t tell that she was acting at all just now.”

William Scott chuckled and said, “If you’re a good director, you have to have good acting skills. Otherwise, how can you tell if others are acting well or not? By the way, why are you looking for me?” This was the first time she had come to look for him.

Yasmin Sun clenched her fists and opened her mouth, but no sound came out. Her face was even redder, as if she was afraid.

“If you have anything to say, just say it. Don’t be afraid,” William Scott encouraged her.

Yasmin Sun took another deep breath and said, “I… I have an idea. I wrote this short drama myself. I think I can play the character well, so please give me a chance.”

William Scott said with a smile, “You even know how to write a script?”

......

“I like acting, but I also know that it’s important to act well. If not, the characters in the drama would be soulless. That’s why I usually like to read extensively and I like to study the characters in other shows. However, I don’t know if what I’ve written is acceptable or not. I wanted to show it to the screenwriter, but they wouldn’t do so.”

William Scott chuckled and said, “You’re snatching someone’s job. It’s normal for them to act in this way. Then let me help you take a look.”

“Thank you, CEO Scott! Thank you so much!” Yasmin Sun bowed to William Scott, her face flushed with excitement. Then, she took out her phone and sent a document to him.

“Okay, I’ll take a look in the next two days.” William Scott nodded.

“Then I shall leave first.” Yasmin Sun strode out happily.

Two days ago, when William Scott was working in the company, there were some actresses who came to look for him when they had nothing to do. They said that they wanted to talk about work, but actually, they wanted to curry favor with him.

However, when Sheila Zinc appeared that day, Xenia Lewis appeared as William Scott’s girlfriend. These aspiring actresses all became obedient and no longer dared to look for him for no reason. If they angered Xenia Lewis, then they wouldn’t have to work here anymore.

William Scott opened the document that Yasmin Sun had given him and read it carefully. Needless to say, the story was quite heartwarming. At the very least, he could keep reading the script, and there was something touching about it.

“What are you looking at? Why are you so serious?” Xenia Lewis came in and stood behind William Scott. She tilted her head and looked at his phone.

William Scott said, “It’s a short script written by Yasmin Sun. I think it’s quite good. Take a look.”

“She can write a script?” Xenia Lewis was a little surprised.

“Yeah, I’m just saying it’s good based on my opinion. I still need a professional like you to critique it.”

“Why did she give it to you instead of me?” Xenia Lewis studied William Scott suspiciously.

William Scott rolled his eyes at her and said, “You’re a very busy boss, okay? Besides, your image in the company is more dignified than mine, so she didn’t dare to give it to you.”

“Tsk, you really came up with excuses for her.” Xenia Lewis rolled her eyes at William Scott as well.

“Don’t always judge people by their looks. I’m such an upright man. Even if someone else offered themselves to me, I wouldn’t be tempted.”

“Like hell I would believe you.”

Xenia Lewis and William Scott bickered for a while before looking at the script. After a while, she said, “It’s really not bad, but the story is a little simple. It lacks some twists and turns, but there’s no problem with the theme. If we refine it a little more and include two more twists in the plot, it should be good.”

William Scott said, “Then it seems that Yasmin Sun is indeed a promising talent. You should guide her.”

“Since they’re here to look for you, they naturally need you to lead them. In addition, it’s a good opportunity for you to hone your professional skills. Otherwise, I feel that you’re really doing nothing here. This can be considered as your project.”

William Scott smiled and said, “She’s a beautiful girl. Aren’t you worried?”

“If it were anyone else, I might be worried, but Yasmin Sun won’t take the initiative to seduce you. If others don’t seduce you, I trust that you can still behave well. I believe in you.”

“Then why did you make sarcastic remarks from time to time?” William Scott rolled his eyes at Xenia Lewis.

Xenia Lewis smiled proudly and said, “I’m reminding you. Otherwise, you’ll become too arrogant.”

Next, Xenia Lewis and William Scott discussed the problems and direction of this script.

This was also the first time William Scott had discussed professional matters with Xenia Lewis. As he listened to her talk, he felt that there were many things that he had never discovered about her. This made him look at Xenia Lewis in a different light. She usually looked lively and mischievous, but when she was serious, she became meticulous and she was capable.

“Why are you looking at me like that? Are you admiring me?” Xenia Lewis stopped and suddenly tilted her head to look at William Scott with a smile.

He smiled and said, “I can see your sister in you. When your sister gets serious, you look similar to her.”

“All right, don’t compare me to her. She doesn’t care about anything else in her life except for work. But I’m different. I’m doing this to find joy for myself.”

William Scott said, “It’s also a joy for her to be successful in her career.”

“No, no, no. That is definitely different. I’m not focused on results, and I don’t care if I succeed or not. I just find joy in doing it, but my sister is focused on results. She’s only happy if she succeeds at the end of something. The process is completely painful.”

William Scott gave Xenia Lewis a thumbs up and said, “Xenia, you will live a happy life for the rest of your life.”
