Chapter 70: Reminder

Wait!

William Scott suddenly came back to his senses. Why did he have to be guilty in front of Xenia Lewis? Yvette Quinn was his fake girlfriend. Why should he explain himself then?

“Xenia, I admit that I had a crush on a girl in high school, but that was many years ago. It’s completely impossible now. At most, I was just reminiscing about the absurdity of my youth.”

“Who do you think you’re lying to? Do you think I don’t know? Have you forgotten what kind of person I am? I’m someone who’s going to become a director. I’ve always studied scripts. How can I not understand the ignorant love in the youthful days? Is that something many people will never forget?”

William Scott chuckled and said, “Yes, yes. You’re a great artist. Do you want me to provide you with some material to enrich your research and experience regarding first love?”

Sensing William Scott’s calmness, Xenia Lewis asked curiously, “Is there really nothing going on between you and that woman?”

He smiled and said, “What can possibly happen then? How can I sleep with her? All right, why don’t we talk about serious matters? Why do you have to pester me about this? Even your sister isn’t as nosy as you.”

“I… I know my sister is magnanimous. That’s why I’m managing you for her. Otherwise, she wouldn’t even know if you dumped her. Hmph.”

“All right. Then let’s get down to business.”

“Oh, let’s talk business tomorrow. Right now I’m sleepy.”

With that, Xenia Lewis hung up.

William Scott held the phone and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. What was she doing? What happened to work matters?

“This girl actually wants me to come back early. Yvette really has a good cousin who cares for her. However, if Xenia finds out that my relationship with her is fake, she…”

......

At the thought of this, William Scott suddenly shivered. Xenia Lewis had worried so much about the two of them. If she found out the truth in the end, she would probably kill him and Yvette Quinn.

After hanging up, Sheila Zinc sent a message. “I’m home safely.”

“Good. Rest well.”

“I’m happy today. I’ll sleep well. Good night!”

Sheila Zinc did not chat much with William Scott. After these short messages, she stopped.

This made William Scott heave a sigh of relief. If Sheila Zinc was still as persistent as she was earlier on, he would be worried.

When he arrived at the company the next day, William Scott assumed that Xenia Lewis would ask him about what happened yesterday. Who knew that she would act as if nothing had happened when she saw him? When she should talk about work, she would talk about work. When it was time to chat, she would just talk about random stuff, but she did not mention anything about the class reunion.

This made him feel that Xenia Lewis was definitely plotting something, but he had no clue.

......

Yvette Quinn put down the phone and frowned. What she had been worried about was indeed happening one by one.

Charles Woods’ bank had already sent a notice to the company, requesting that the loan had to be repaid when it was due.

Yesterday, Yvette Quinn had also started to contact other banks, but after contacting a few, they all replied to her with a lackluster attitude. She guessed that Director Woods must have done something and informed other banks not to approve loans to their company.

Although these banks were all competing with each other, under normal circumstances, there were plenty of collaborations. In addition, the important heads of the various banks had close relationships in private. Especially Charles Woods, who had a powerful relative. Therefore, he was really influential in this city. Other banks always had to show his respect.

Mason Zone, who was in his forties, was the director sent by the head office. This director was actually here to supervise Yvette Quinn to prevent her from monopolizing power and to maintain their rein over her.

When he heard the news from the banks, he went straight to Yvette Quinn’s office and said crudely, “CEO Quinn, you have to resolve this matter. If there’s a problem with the funds and the company suffers losses, you won’t be able to bear the responsibility.”

Yvette Quinn was very dissatisfied with Mason Zone. This man had purposely picked on her and used his authority to nitpick on her. He had never come up with any useful solutions. Instead, he kept hindering her work. Now that there was a problem in the company, he didn’t offer to help. He was the first to cause trouble.

However, on the surface, she couldn’t offend Mason Zone. She took a deep breath and said, “I’ll settle this.”

Mason Zone snorted and said, “CEO Quinn, I’ve always thought that you’re a practical person who knows your limits. What happened this time? You brought a man who doesn’t know what’s good for him and even hit Director Woods. That is simply nonsense.”

Yvette Quinn recalled the process that day. Although William Scott had gone a little overboard, she actually couldn’t be angry at him. She said calmly, “He did it to protect me. Do you think I should agree to Charles Woods’ condition and sleep with him?”

“This… Of course not.” Mason Zone wanted to say in his heart that even if he agreed, it was not a big deal. However, how could he say something so absurd to her? He could only shake his head and deny it.

“In that case, I don’t think he’s nonsense,” Yvette Quinn said.

“I’m not going to talk to you about this. Let’s talk about how to resolve this matter now. Charles Woods has already spoken to me through someone. He’s furious now. If you want to resolve this matter, you and that… fellow must apologize to him in person.”

“That’s it?” Yvette Quinn asked, eyes narrowing.

Mason Zone shrugged and said, “As for any other requests, I’m afraid you’ll have to bring them up in person. However, you have to face this matter no matter what. I suggest you go to Director Woods and speak with him. Otherwise, if the company’s loan is taken away, you will probably be fired as the CEO. I think you know very well how many people are eyeing your position. If you don’t handle this matter well, you know what they will do.”

Yvette Quinn nodded. “Thank you for the reminder, Director Zone.”

“You’d better make a decision early. There’s a limit to Charles Woods’ patience.” After saying that, Mason Zone turned around and walked out. The moment he turned around, the expression on his face was conflicted.

Yvette Quinn rubbed her forehead. The bank loan issue was already troubling her, but what really consumed most of her energy was the internal strife in the company.
