Chapter 77: Decision
Xenia Lewis and Sheila Zinc really felt like they had met their match. For a moment, neither of them had the upper hand. Moreover, the both of them could tell that neither of them could convince the other.
Sheila Zinc suggested again, “I think we should let William decide for himself. No matter what, we can’t make the decision for him.”
Xenia Lewis raised her chin arrogantly and said, “Hmph, you’ve indeed at an advantage. However, if I don’t let him say this himself, you won’t give up.” She picked up her phone and sent a voice message. “Darling, come to my office.”
In less than a minute, William Scott arrived at the office. Xavier Herd stuck his head out the door and then shrank back. This sort of showdown might be very exciting, but it was also very likely to cause trouble to him. It was better to avoid it.
The two of them looked at William Scott quietly as he entered.
He coughed lightly and said, “Eh, the atmosphere between the two of you isn’t right. You should have scolded me as a scumbag and chased me out.”
“You’re not feeling guilty at all,” Xenia Lewis said angrily.
William Scott came over and placed his hand on Xenia Lewis’ shoulder. “As a man, if I’m in the wrong, I will admit it. It’s useless to be afraid and feel guilty. Sheila, I can only say that when I saw you that day, I was really excited and a little impulsive. However, my rationality still reminded me that I can’t do this, so…”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtXenia Lewis was in an exceedingly good mood. She raised her hand and held William Scott’s hand, then looked at Sheila Zinc as if she was the winner.
At this moment, Sheila Zinc was not disappointed nor was she livid. Instead, she smiled and said, “This is the William Scott I know. If you are still hesitant or you choose me, I will really be disappointed instead.”
William Scott also smiled and said, “Sheila, you’re much more mature and magnanimous than before.”
Sheila Zinc stood up and said, “I have to be magnanimous. I can’t possibly cry here and make you pity me, right? What’s the point of begging for such feelings?”
At this moment, Xenia Lewis also stood up and extended her hand to Sheila Zinc. She said, “Your response is really admirable. I have to admit that if he chooses you, I definitely wouldn’t be as magnanimous as you.”
......
Sheila Zinc shook hands with Xenia Lewis and answered, “This is very simple. We haven’t really fallen in love yet. If we really got along, I wouldn’t be this calm. But it’s impossible for me not to feel any jealousy. I’m still very envious of you.”
Releasing Xenia Lewis’ hand, Sheila Zinc took a deep breath and said, “Cherish William well. Don’t give me a chance. Otherwise, if he comes to me, I won’t let him go.”
Xenia Lewis raised her chin and said, “I’ll take care of what belongs to me.”
“William, I’m leaving. I’m still your classmate. I can still chat with you in the future, right?” Sheila Zinc extended her hand to William Scott.
William Scott shook hands with her and said apologetically, “Sheila, I’m really sorry, but I’m also sincerely grateful to you.”
Sheila Zinc gave William Scott another sweet smile and turned to walk out of the office.
William Scott and Xenia Lewis sent her all the way to the door. Xavier Herd grinned and said, “Sister-in-law, I’ll come and look for you all again in the future.”
Xenia Lewis smiled and said, “Sure, come for a visit whenever you like. I won’t keep you today. Send Sheila back safely. When you come next time, I’ll treat you to a meal.”
“Okay!” Xavier Herd agreed readily, then secretly gave William Scott a thumbs up.
As he watched Xavier Herd and Sheila Zinc enter the elevator, William Scott felt a pain in his waist. He turned around and saw Xenia Lewis’ murderous gaze.
He smiled at her and said, “All right, the show is over.”
Xenia Lewis grabbed William Scott’s arm and dragged him all the way to the office. Looking at William Scott’s nonchalant expression, she couldn’t help but hiss angrily, “Acting? Do you really think I’m acting? You’re right, there’s no need for me to act as my sister anymore, but I’m just as furious. You actually hooked up with your first love behind my sister’s back. If I didn’t find out in time, would you really continue spending time with the other woman and cheat on my sister?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWilliam Scott gently pulled Xenia Lewis’ hand away and sat on the sofa. He said, “No, what I said to you both in person is the truth. If I really wanted to cheat on your sister, I would definitely prevent her from coming here. It’s impossible for me to be with Sheila. It’s better to keep this beautiful memory in my heart.”
Xenia Lewis snorted and sat beside William Scott. Her small hand pinched his thigh again and retorted, “You were just careless. You didn’t expect Sheila Zinc to come to your workplace and you also didn’t expect her to meet me.”
William Scott grinned and pretended to be in pain. “Am I that careless? This is a huge matter. How can I be so careless?”
“Hmph!” Xenia Lewis pinched him again before letting go. Actually, she also believed William Scott. However, she was still unhappy when she witnessed everything today. At the very least, she felt indignant for Yvette Quinn. “I’ll definitely tell my sister about this. Let’s see how she deals with you.”
William Scott smiled and said, “Suit yourself.”
Xenia Lewis widened her eyes and said, “Damn it, aren’t you afraid that my sister will flip out?”
“Oh… she’ll definitely be furious, but in the end, I supposed I made the right decision. I can be forgiven.” Of course, William Scott knew that Yvette Quinn wouldn’t mind. However, if he was too obvious in front of Xenia Lewis, she would probably suspect their relationship again.
“I’ll scold you then!” Xenia Lewis glared at William Scott.
“You, you’re stricter than your sister.” William Scott shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
“I…” A trace of panic flashed across Xenia Lewis’ eyes. Then, she puffed out her chest and said,” My sister is too careless with her relationship. I’m helping her keep an eye on you. Otherwise, she would still be devoted to you blindly. She wouldn’t even have an idea what you’re up to behind her back.” ”
“Pfft, this is too much. Am I that kind of person in your heart?” William Scott rolled his eyes.
“This is called taking precautions. All threats have to be nipped in the bud. My sister doesn’t have time to care about you. Since I’m free, I’ll definitely fulfill my duty and watch over you, a playboy!”
