I Met The Female CEO While Escaping A Blind Date - Chapter 20

William Scott heaved a sigh of relief after finally coaxing his mother. He did not have to go on blind dates for the time being and quickly returned to his bedroom.

It had been more than a month since he returned from his job transfer. Initially, he felt especially comfortable doing nothing for the entire day. However, after so many days, he felt a little bored.

Other than that, his parents, relatives, and friends also gossiped about him. His mother didn’t mind it and didn’t get angry even if he was taking a break. However, as a son, he had to consider his parents’ face.

Now, he had to find a job so that he could make his parents proud, especially his mother, Janna Sands. She was someone who cared a lot about her face. He had to make her stand tall in front of her relatives.

With his level of career change, it would definitely not be a problem for him to go directly to the government department. However, William Scott did not like this kind of job. There were too many restrictions.

That meant he had to go to some company. However, as a soldier, it was difficult for him to find a suitable job. Just like what Chen Lan said, being a security guard was more suitable.

In fact, William Scott wouldn’t feel bad being a security guard. It was just a job, and he didn’t lack money. Besides being the captain of Beast Howl, he also had a very special identity… the head of the Storm Mercenary Corps!

Mercenary corps sounded like a team in the game, but in reality, there were indeed many mercenary corps in this world. Most mercenary corps were formed by retired special forces soldiers or people with special skills.

Most of the mercenaries did this extremely dangerous job for the sake of money, but there were also some who joined the mercenary group for other reasons. For example, William Scott joined the mercenary group so that it would be more convenient for him to carry out missions at certain times.

The Storm Mercenary Corps was famous in the mercenary world. It was ranked third.

On the mercenary world’s individual strategy rankings, William Scott was definitely ranked in the top five. However, in the mercenary world, other than the core members of the Storm Mercenary Group, no one knew his true identity.

The missions accepted by the mercenary corps were all rather dangerous, so the rewards were also extremely high. All these years, the income that William Scott earned in the mercenary corps was absolutely astronomical. Even he himself did not know how much it was.

William Scott didn’t tell his parents that he had so much money. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to give it to his parents. It was just that with so much money, there was no way he could explain it to his parents. It would easily reveal that he had been through so much danger all these years.

……

Since these things were already in the past, there was no need for William Scott to make them sad.

After going through so many life-and-death situations, William Scott was actually extremely indifferent towards fame and fortune. Therefore, he felt that his parents’ current ordinary and realistic life was actually more blissful. With more money, it would be easier to break their blissful life.

Therefore, what William Scott wanted to do right now wasn’t to earn money at all. He was just looking for something to do so that he wouldn’t be so bored, and also to fight for his parents’ face.

After thinking about it, it seemed that it was more practical for him to start his own business. He could open a company and spend eight to 10 million yuan on it. Then, regardless of whether he earned money or not, he would just be an imposing and proud figure.

At the thought of this idea, William Scott burst out laughing. He felt like a prodigal.

If William Scott wanted to do something, he only needed to make a call and someone would come up with a few feasible plans for him.

However, William Scott wasn’t thinking of earning money right now. He wanted to find something to do. He felt that it would be more interesting to do everything himself.

The next day, William Scott was about to leave when his phone rang. It was an unknown number.

“Who is it?” William Scott answered.

“Guess who I am?” A girl’s voice came from the phone.

“Xenia, is there even a need to guess?” William Scott replied with a smile. Talking to this girl would unconsciously make William Scott feel happy.

“No way, William. Don’t you have too few female friends?”

“It’s not that there aren’t many, but Xenia’s voice is so pleasant and recognizable. I can tell just by your voice.”

“Hehe… William, you really know how to talk. No wonder a woman like my cousin can date you.”

“If Yvette heard what you said, she would definitely make you suffer.”

“Haha… You won’t tell on me anyway, right, William?”

“Of course. You’re calling me so early in the morning. Don’t tell me it’s just to chat with me?”

“William, are you free today? I want you to go somewhere with me.”

“Where?”

“Just tell me if you have time.”

“I do have time…”

“That will do. Nine-thirty. I’ll be waiting for you at Century Square.”

At 9:20 am, William Scott arrived at Century Square and sent Xenia Lewis his location.

Very soon, William Scott saw Xenia Lewis. Xenia Lewis was sliding over on a skateboard. She was still wearing a white T-shirt, a pair of denim shorts, and a pair of Converse shoes. When she reached William Scott, she spun around and stopped in front of William Scott.

Xenia Lewis took out a lollipop from her mouth and said with a smile, “William, you’re quite punctual.”

William Scott was stunned by Xenia Lewis. From Xenia Lewis, he felt a strong sense of youthfulness. He said, “That’s right. It’s impolite to be late when I’m meeting a beauty.”

Xenia Lewis chuckled. “Since you speak so nicely, I’ll give you a treat today.”

“No problem. It’s my pleasure.”

After making two jokes, William Scott asked, “What are we doing?”

Xenia Lewis moved closer to William Scott and whispered, “William, do you know how to do rock-climbing?”

“Rock climbing? The one that’s on some man-made cliff, where people compete by seeing who reaches the top the fastest?”

“D*mn… It seems like you haven’t played it before.” Xenia Lewis’ face turned bitter.

William Scott smiled and said, “I’ve never played it before, but I feel that it shouldn’t be difficult. With that expression of yours, are you trying to make me compete with you in rock climbing?”

Xenia Lewis exclaimed, “How did you know?”

“Your expression betrayed you. But you’re really bold. You don’t even know if I’m good or not and you want me to compete with me?”

Xenia Lewis revealed an awkward expression and said, “Actually, I had no choice. I originally found an expert, but he suddenly had diarrhea and couldn’t come today. The competition can’t be canceled either. I thought about it and realized that your kung fu is very powerful. Who knows, this thing might work too, so I summoned you to help me.”
