Chapter 47: Silencing?

“Why? Are you so excited that you’re about to cry?” William Scott teased.

“I’m not.” Xenia Lewis raised her chin and pointed at the wall. “Ay, why is this dirty?”

On the wall facing the door were four words printed in gold. “Jonia Pictures!”

This was the name that Chen Jiajia and Xenia Lewis had chosen when they worked together. Chen Jiajia quit. Xenia Lewis originally wanted to change the company’s name to include part of William Scotts’ name.

However, changing the name required a lot of procedures. In addition, the financing side also had to be dealt with. Therefore, they would use the original name for the time being. However, these few words were redone and were still quite imposing.

William Scott also saw some marks on the word “Pictures”. Although it wasn’t very obvious, it didn’t seem too beautiful.

“No, I have to wipe it off.” Xenia Lewis immediately went to move a chair.

William Scott smiled and said, “You should rest. I’ll do it.”

Xenia Lewis insisted, “No, no. You men are not meticulous. I don’t trust you. I’ll do it myself.”

William Scott couldn’t dissuade her either. However, men definitely couldn’t deal with such small details as well as women.

The frame of this office building was still very tall. It was more than four meters from the ground to the roof of the shed. The words were hung very high to begin with. In addition, the dirty spot was at the top. William Scott directly dragged over a desk and placed another chair on it before Xenia Lewis could wipe the dirt.

William Scott held onto the chair below, afraid that Xenia Lewis would fall.

However, Xenia Lewis tried to wipe the dirt but her feet were still shaking. She said, “William, hold my legs. Otherwise, I’ll feel unstable and won’t be able to use my strength.”

“Okay.” William Scott agreed and grabbed Xenia Lewis’s calves.

Xenia Lewis shouted, “No, no. I don’t feel confident if you do it like this.”

William Scott smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I’m very strong. This move is enough to ensure your safety.”

“I know you’re strong, but I’m just not confident. You… hug my thighs.” Xenia Lewis lowered her head and pouted. She was slightly dizzy. Back then, she wanted to get into rock climbing partly because she wanted to overcome this weakness of hers.

“Alright, alright.” William Scott shook his head. He held the chair with one hand and hugged Xenia Lewis’s thighs with the other.

“Tighter.” Xenia Lewis said again, “Other than having a foot fetish, you can’t be having a leg fetish, right?”

“Pfft, can we not talk about this anymore?” William Scott did not know how to react.

Xenia Lewis chuckled and said, “Speaking of this, I feel that you really haven’t had this problem in the past few days.”

William Scott said helplessly, “I’ve already said that I don’t have such a problem. You just don’t believe me and have to make up all kinds of stories.”

“Alright, alright. If you don’t behave like this in the future, I’ll believe you.” After saying that, Xenia Lewis started to wipe the dirty things on it.

After wiping it a few times, Xenia Lewis said, “Can you check if I’ve wiped it off?”

William Scott looked up and said, “I don’t think so.”

“Step back and look at it from the angle I was looking at.”

“Then come down first.”

“I won’t move for now. It’s fine. Look at where there’s dirt so I can continue wiping.”

William Scott did not insist. “Okay, let me see.” He took 10 steps back and looked from that angle. “There’s still a little mark on the top corner of the letter ‘t’.”

“Alright.” Xenia Lewis immediately reached out to wipe it. After wiping it twice, she said, “How is it? Is it clean?”

“It’s clean now,” William Scott replied casually.

“Oh, that’s good. Ah, why did you let go of me?” Xenia Lewis looked down and suddenly exclaimed. Her body immediately swayed and she fell.

William Scott’s face darkened. Xenia Lewis really made him speechless. She was the one who asked him to leave just now, but now, it was as if she had just discovered it. Could this girl have done it on purpose? But looking at the way Xenia Lewis fell, she was clearly very frightened.

However, he couldn’t care less. He definitely couldn’t let Xenia Lewis get injured. He rushed over in two steps. However, he was a little far away after all. No matter how fast he was, when he arrived beside Xenia Lewis, she was already about to fall to the ground.

With a leap, William Scott pounced over and hugged Xenia Lewis. Then, he held her and rolled twice before resolving the force of the fall.

“Ah!” Xenia Lewis instinctively hugged William Scott tightly and kept shouting.

“Hey, hey, it’s alright.” William Scott patted her back and tilted his head to the side. Xenia Lewis’s voice was very high-pitched. His eardrums were about to burst.

“Stop shouting!” William Scott reached out and pressed down on Xenia Lewis’s face.

“Ah…” Xenia Lewis finally stopped crying and looked at William Scott in a daze.

William Scott said in a slightly mean tone, “Look at yourself. You didn’t fall. If you shout so loudly and call the security guards over, they will think that I did something to you.”

“T-then what are you doing now?” Xenia Lewis pouted and asked vaguely.

“I…” Only then did William Scott remember that he was lying on Xenia Lewis’s body. He hurriedly stood up with Xenia Lewis still in his arms. “I came to catch you.”

Xenia Lewis gritted her teeth and said, “Hmph, then why aren’t you getting up? You’re doing this on purpose. You just want to bully me. I’ll tell Yvette.”

William Scott said angrily, “Girl, you can’t say such things. If I’m really a bad person and really want to do something to you, using such words to threaten me will only put you in extreme danger.”

“Don’t tell me you want to silence me?” Xenia Lewis rolled her eyes and pouted even more.

“Hmph. Do you think bad people don’t do that? Many cases happen that way. You’re going to be a director. You can’t not grasp the heart of such a character, can you?”

Xenia Lewis blinked and said, “To be honest, I’m really not sure about this. But after hearing what you said, who knows, we might end up with one less consultant in the future.”

‘You’re starting to sound like a proper capitalist.’

“I was forced by you. Hmph, we started this together. We have to share the trials and tribulations together.” As if in celebration of something great, Xenia Lewis stretched out her arm and hugged William Scott’s neck. She was just short of holding a big bottle of champagne in her hand.
