I Met The Female CEO While Escaping A Blind Date

Chapter 58: Follow Me From Now On

William Scott rolled his eyes at Xenia Lewis and said, “Forget it. If you go, you’ll have to pretend to be your sister. Then, you’ll scare her.”

Xenia Lewis immediately interjected, “Then I’ll go as myself.”

William Scott rolled his eyes at Xenia Lewis again and said, “How should I introduce you? My girlfriend’s cousin? What will everyone think if the brother-in-law brings his sister-in-law to a class reunion?”

“Hmph, forget it if you don’t want to bring me along. I look down on people with dirty thoughts like you. Do all brother-in-laws and sister-in-laws in the world have to cut off all contact with each other?”

“But this occasion isn’t suitable, I guess.”

“Not if you don’t want to. But I’m warning you, you’d better not cause any trouble with your female classmates.”

“And you say I have a dirty mind. It’s just a class reunion. There’s not much to do.”

William Scott was already used to the way Xenia Lewis interacted with him. Although this girl would throw a tantrum from time to time, she never went overboard. Instead, she could bring him a lot of laughter.

William Scott arrived at New Dragon Villa a little after six o’clock. It was a resort with a nice view on the outskirts of the city. There was a large orchard in the park, and the cottages were scattered throughout the orchard. Everyone ate in the cottages and could chat outside to pick fruits for themselves. It was a good place to take a vacation and relax.

Just as he asked the waiter for the location of the cottage he was going to, Liam Cole called.

“William Scott, there’s an emergency in my family today. Nadia and I have to rush back, so we can’t go to this class gathering.”

“Oh, then go ahead. Do you need any help from me?”

“No need. It’s just that a relative from my family has passed away. He’s in his nineties. It’s considered a happy death.”

......

“Oh, oh. Do you need me to bring you any messages for the class reunion?”

“No, no it’s okay. I was the one who contacted you and in the end, I couldn’t make it. I’m a little sorry.”

“We’ll have many opportunities to get together in the future.”

Of course,William Scott understood what Liam Cole meant. It was a way to hint that they had a close relationship. However, he did not mind. Even if Liam Cole had a motive, it was not necessarily a bad thing.

“Screech!”

William Scott had taken a taxi over, so he had to walk past the parking lot. A brake sounded behind him. It was a black BMW 5 Series.

When the door opened, the two young men got out of the car with sunglasses on. They looked around, full of energy and confidence.

The two of them walked past him. Then, one of them suddenly turned around and looked at him. He took off his sunglasses and sized him up. Suddenly, he said in surprise, “William Scott?”

“Ronan Toft, Zack Linden! I don’t think I’m mistaken, right?” William Scott smiled and extended his hand.

“Damn, it’s really you!” The two of them shook hands with him.

Ronan Toft said, “We lost contact after you graduated from high school. I really didn’t expect you to join us this time. How was it? Where have you been all these years?”

William Scott smiled and said, “I’ve been in the army all this time before returning.”

Ronan Toft continued, “You’ve just returned? Then you’ve been a soldier for a long time. How was it? What rank did you manage to climb to?”

“There’s no rank. I’m just a volunteer,” William Scott replied casually. He really didn’t want to show off in front of his ex-classmates. Moreover, if he said that he was a colonel, no one would believe him. He might as well brush it off.

“Volunteer… You’ve only been a volunteer for so many years.” Ronan Toft’s face immediately revealed disdain.

Zack Linden immediately laughed and said, “Ronan, do you think everyone can become a successful businessman in just a few years like you?”

Ronan Toft also laughed and said, “Don’t say that in front of our classmates. You make me look like a nouveau riche. We’re old classmates, William Scott. I’ll definitely protect you. If you are jobless, just tell me. Come to my company. I can arrange a job for you.” As he spoke, he patted William Scott’s shoulder hard, looking very loyal.

William Scott chuckled and said, “Thank you, old classmate. If I’m jobless, I’ll definitely look for you.”

Ronan Toft put his arm around William Scott’s shoulder and said, “Why are you being so polite with me? I’m always like this. I have too much to eat and my old classmate has come looking for me. At the very least, I have to give you some soup to drink. Let’s go and have a few drinks together today.”

Zack Linden smiled and said, “William, Ronan is paying for everything tonight.”

Although William Scott felt that they were showing off in front of him, he did not mind. He smiled and said, “Ronan, you are really doing well.”

Zack Linden immediately added, “That’s right. Ronan’s company has a net profit of one to two million every year, and it’s about to expand. This time, he’ll have to get a loan of five million. When the time comes, it’ll be a huge company worth tens of millions. If we stick to Ronan in the future, we definitely won’t go wrong.”

“That’s impressive!” William Scott gave him a thumbs up. However, he really didn’t feel anything about it. However, in front of his classmates, he still had to flatter them.

The three of them arrived at the small cottage they had booked. There were already a few classmates there, both men and women. When they saw Ronan Toft coming over, they all surrounded him and started talking. As for William Scott, no one had seen him in a long time, so no one bothered about him for a while.

Finally, the praise for Ronan Toft came to an end. So he took the initiative to say with a smile, “You guys, can’t you see our old classmates who we haven’t seen for many years? William, look at these classmates. Do you still remember them?”

Only then did William Scott smile and greet everyone. “I recognize all of them. I was afraid that everyone had forgotten about me.”

“Damn, William Scott, you were an influential figure in school back then. How could we not remember you?”

“That’s right. At that time, I was very jealous of you. So many girls liked to play with you that I kept cursing you.”

William Scott laughed and said, “Young people tend to be too arrogant. Please forgive me for offending everyone in the past.”

When William Scott was in high school, his academic results were not good, but he was very loyal. In addition, he was a little rebellious. He dared to argue with the teachers and stand up for the people in the class. He had even fought with the students in the other classes a few times. At that time, students who studied hard might not attract much attention, but a boy who dared to take responsibility and stood up for everything was definitely a popular figure in the class.

“Yo, William Scott. You used to be so famous. Why did I hear from Nadia Sawyer that you’re a mover now?”

At this moment, a girl suddenly quipped sarcastically.
