Chapter 36: Angel or Devil

After William Scott sent Xenia Lewis back and returned home, his mother immediately started chatting with him again.

“Mom, will you stop worrying now?” William Scott felt tired by this as he slumped on the couch.

“I’m not worried anymore. Your uncle’s family looked down on us last time. We’ll see how they look when they realize Yvette Quinn is your girlfriend. Your uncle’s family must be so shocked that their jaws drop. I’ll tell them now.”

William Scott’s face darkened as he said, “Mom, let’s wait for a while. They might not believe you even if you tell them directly. You’ll just get even angrier. Besides, they won’t be shocked if you let them know this way.”

“Then what should I do? I can’t take this lying down.” Janna Sands had an indignant expression.

“Haha, look. Didn’t we agree to go over together for Grandma’s birthday? If we bring Yvette along, Uncle and the rest will definitely be shocked. Also, you don’t have to tell our relatives about this. Everyone will know what’s going on when she comes with us. Most importantly, it will have a greater shocking effect. Think about how awesome that would be.”

William Scott knew his mother’s personality very well. If he didn’t say that, she would definitely call her relatives and friends to show off. Hence, he had to give her a reason that she could accept before she gave up on the idea.

His mother squinted her eyes and imagined that scene. She slapped her thigh and said excitedly, “Yes, yes, you’re right. Think about that scene. Haha… everyone will definitely be dumbfounded. It will be awesome.”

“Isn’t that right, Mom? Acting cool is definitely the best way to announce it to the whole world. Let’s not say anything and have others discover it on their own. Then, let’s just mention it lightly as if it was just a small matter. Isn’t that even more impressive?”

“That’s right, that’s right. That’s the best way to do it. Now that I think about it, what I did in the past was really too tasteless.” His mother patted William Scott’s shoulders forcefully and said, “Son, you’re really impressive. To think that you could think of such a method. In the future, you have to remind me more. Otherwise, I’ll definitely get carried away when I’m pleased.”

“Alright, alright.” William Scott grinned and thought to himself, “Glad you know.” However, he did not dare to say it out loud.

The next day, William Scott arrived at the office early.

Xenia Lewis arrived earlier than him and immediately went to him. She nudged him with her shoulder and asked quietly, “After I left, did Auntie say anything?”

......

“Haha, she picked up the phone and was about to call all her relatives and friends to show off, but I stopped her.”

Xenia Lewis chuckled and said, “Auntie is really interesting.”

William Scott shook his head. “It’s probably the first time I’ve made her so proud since she brought me up. I actually found a big boss to be my girlfriend.”

Xenia Lewis raised her chin proudly and said, “That’s right, that’s because I performed well and satisfied Auntie.”

“Yes, yes, you did very well. You made my mother so happy, she lost her rationality.”

Xenia Lewis chuckled again, but she immediately shook his head and said, “I also got carried away. My sister doesn’t have this kind of personality. Next time I go, I have to be more careful so that when my sister goes, the contrast won’t be too big that Auntie won’t be able to accept it.”

The sound of footsteps could be heard. Some employees had just come to work. The company’s financing had been successful and they had a bright future ahead of them. This raised the morale of the employees as well. Even without Xenia Lewis saying it, they had also come early.

The two of them started their new day of work. They were busy for half a day. In the afternoon, Xenia Lewis ordered lunch for the employees. Everyone worked so hard, so they had to prepare some welfare for them.

Xenia Lewis and William Scott ate together in an office room. There was a coffee table and a couch in this office. The two of them sat on the couch, and the food was placed on the coffee table.

Xenia Lewis took a sip of her drink and heaved a sigh of relief. “The concept is basically set. We have to start purchasing things this afternoon.”

William Scott said, “Alright, let’s go out in the afternoon.”

Xenia Lewis immediately ate two mouthfuls of food and said, “Then eat quickly. Time is money.”

“Slow down, slow down. It’s not that urgent.”

“Why isn’t it urgent? The rent is 5,000 dollars a day. The earlier we get into operation, the earlier we can break even. Cough…” Xenia Lewis coughed and hurriedly raised her hand to her throat.

“Look at you, you’re choking.” William Scott shook his head helplessly and handed the water bottle to Xenia Lewis.

Xenia Lewis didn’t take it. Instead, she shook his head hard, her face turning purple.

William Scott jumped up with a whoosh and grabbed Xenia Lewis. He stood behind Xenia Lewis and wrapped his hands around her abdomen to form a fist. Then, he quickly exerted strength.

After exerting force a few times, Xenia Lewis spat out a piece of meat. Then, she started coughing violently.

William Scott let go of her, patted her back, and handed her the water. Xenia Lewis took it and drank a few mouthfuls before she calmed herself down. “It’s killing me, it’s killing me.”

William Scott was serious and amused at the same time. “You… I told you to eat slowly, but you ate so fast. You didn’t even chew. Otherwise, even if there was food in your airway, you would have been able to cough it out.”

Xenia Lewis sat on the couch and said, “Yes, yes. This is the first time I realized that eating can kill. If you weren’t here, I would have choked to death. When I couldn’t breathe just now, that feeling was really too scary.”

“If I’m not around, you can actually resolve it yourself. When a normal person knows that their trachea is blocked, they will still have about two minutes of consciousness. Don’t panic in this time. Just find a chair with a backrest and press it against the lower part of your abdomen. Press down hard, and the diaphragm in your body will stimulate the airflow in your lungs to rush out. You can still force out the things in your trachea.”

Xenia Lewis rolled her eyes at William Scott and said, “You still want me to do it again? This time, it’s enough for me. I swear that I will definitely eat slowly in the future.”

William Scott chuckled. “Seems like it’s a good thing for you to learn your lesson.”

Xenia Lewis rolled her eyes at William Scott again and laid down on the couch. “I suddenly realized a problem. I’ve known you for a few days and you’ve saved my life twice. You’ve even helped me solve two difficult problems. It looks like you’re an angel sent by the heavens, but on second thought, I’ve never encountered as many unlucky things as I have in the past few days. Are you actually a devil from hell who wants to play me to death?”
