I Met The Female CEO While Escaping A Blind Date

Chapter 44: Begin Your Performance

A trace of shame appeared on Jess Lane’s face, but the thick powder completely covered the blush of embarrassment. She said, “What do you know? I’m an anchor invited by this company. Do you know what an anchor is? In the future, I’ll be the top host in this company. In the future, just watch me become famous online. Don’t say that a mover like you didn’t have a chance to fall in love with me in the past. In the future, you won’t even have a chance to talk to me. Now that I’m talking to you, you’d better be thankful for this opportunity.”

William Scott almost burst out laughing. He had never seen a woman who felt so good about herself. He shook his head and said, “I don’t think so. Maybe the company doesn’t need you. Actually, I feel that your chances are really not high at all. It’s best if you don’t go for the interview, in case you suffer a blow.”

Jess Lane was furious. “Pfft, you don’t need me? I’m already a live-streamer with a lot of fans. I’m giving them face by coming to this company. They have to beg me. In our line of work, what can a mover like you know?”

“Hehe…” Jess Lane sneered again. “I understand. I didn’t like you on the blind date, so you want to take revenge on me? You even want to trick me into leaving this place. You’re really black-hearted.” She felt that she had seen through William Scott’s scheme. At this moment, she was both proud of herself and disdainful of him.

William Scott shook his head and said helplessly, “I’ve already advised you. If you don’t believe me, then forget it.” After saying that, he couldn’t be bothered with this woman and walked straight into the company.

“Hmph! When I become famous in the future, you’ll regret it even more. If a trashy mover can have a chance to go on a blind date with me, it’ll be a blessing for a few lifetimes.” With a cold laugh, Jess Lane twisted her waist and followed him into the company.

At 9:25 a.m., William Scott changed into a clean set of clothes and arrived at the interview office. Xenia Lewis was already sitting there, and the old employee of the company, Layla Wilson, was in charge of arranging the interview.

The two of them sat in the main interviewers’ seats. Xenia Lewis straightened her clothes and said, “I’m actually a little nervous.”

William Scott said casually, “You’re the main interviewer now. You’re the one who can decide if the other party is working here. You decide a person’s life. You can use whoever you think is good, or not. It’s the interviewee who needs to be nervous.”

Xenia Lewis stuck out her tongue and said, “I know that too, but this is the first time I’m the main interviewer. I’m afraid that I’ll stutter when I speak. That would be embarrassing.”

William Scott teased with a smile, “Can you be more promising?”

Xenia Lewis rolled her eyes at William Scott and puffed out her chest again. She looked at the time and said to Layla Wilson, “Let’s begin.”

The first person to enter was called Sophia Davis. Her appearance and temperament were barely passable, and her talent was really average. However, looking at the seriousness of her performance and the anticipation and nervousness after her performance, it was obvious that she was looking forward to getting such a job.

......

The people who were interviewed thereafter were basically the same. However, everyone’s talent was average. The most good-looking person could only score six or seven points. Compared to Xenia Lewis, they were still much inferior.

However, it was still a pleasure to watch beautiful women sing and dance in front of them.

After another interview, Xenia Lewis suddenly snorted at William Scott and said, “You’re an interviewer now, you’re not here to admire their performance.”

“I admire their performance because I’m fulfilling my duty as an interviewer.” William Scott looked at Xenia Lewis in confusion.

“You make it sound so nice. Look at you. Every time someone comes in to perform, you look like you’re enjoying it. You’re smiling and nodding at them. Are you seriously evaluating their ability and standard?”

William Scott smiled and said, “I am being serious. I also know that only Number Three and Number Five who are not bad. The rest are terrible. But everyone has dreams. If I shake my head to show that I don’t appreciate it, it will be a blow to them. I smile and nod with a look of admiration. At the very least, it can give them a sense of anticipation. People can only be happy if they have dreams.”

“That’s what you claim. I think you’re just looking at beauties here.” Xenia Lewis pouted. She did not believe William Scott’s words at all.

Jess Lane arrived at the interview door. She first straightened her dress, then took a deep breath before knocking.

“Come in,” a man said from inside.

Why does this voice sound a little familiar? Jess Lane muttered in her heart, but she didn’t have time to think too much and directly pushed open the door.

Jess Lane held her head high and puffed out her chest. She wanted to show off her best side, but after taking two steps, her gaze landed on William Scott’s face. Then, she cried out involuntarily. After that, her mouth could not close, and her eyeballs almost fell out.

“What’s wrong?” Xenia Lewis frowned.

“You… you… why is he here?” Jess Lane pointed at him and shouted.

Xenia Lewis turned to look at William Scott and said, “Do you… know each other?”

“W-we do. Good morning, interviewers!” Jess Lane smiled, but she was secretly complaining.

She had never expected William Scott to be the interviewer here. Not to mention that when the two of them were on a blind date, she already looked down on William Scott. Just now, at the elevator, she had said some nonsense. She had definitely offended William Scott.

Her mind also quickly assessed the current situation. William Scott’s parents knew her family. When they were introduced, she knew that William Scott’s family was very ordinary, so they definitely wouldn’t have that much money to open such a film company.

Moreover, from the way he came in and spoke, it was obvious that a beauty like Xenia Lewis was the one who had the final say. Either William Scott did not have much say, or he had joined the company relatively early. He definitely did not have much power in this company.

Xenia Lewis nodded and said calmly, “Then please show us your talent.”

“Okay, okay!” Jess Lane took a deep breath and began her performance.

Watching Jess Lane performance, William Scott couldn’t help but find it ridiculous. This woman really added a lot of miscellaneous parts as she sang. One moment, she would pout and act cute, and the next moment, she would flirt. She even had provocative moves.

While he was watching with interest, William Scott suddenly felt a pain in his thigh. He looked down and saw Xenia Lewis’s hand pinching his thigh fiercely. At this moment, Xenia Lewis’s gaze was on Jess Lane and she did not look at him at all.

At this moment, it was not good for William Scott to pull her hand away. He could only endure the pain and pretend that nothing had happened as he continued to enjoy Jess Lane’s performance.

Then, he realized that Xenia Lewis’s grip was getting more and more ruthless.
