Chapter 56: Saliva

“Ah!”

Suddenly, as if she had been stung by a scorpion, Yvette Quinn pulled her finger out of her mouth and pointed it at William Scott. Her face turned red.

Her index finger had been sucked by William Scott just now, but now, she actually held her finger in her mouth. What did this mean? It meant that there was still his saliva on his finger. This was simply eating William Scott’s saliva. It was an indirect kiss.

“Ahem… let’s eat.” William Scott knew that it was useless to play dumb. He laughed dryly.

“You… you…” Yvette Quinn was embarrassed and angry, but she was the one who caused it, so she couldn’t flare up at him.

If it were Xenia Lewis, she would definitely push the blame to William Scott and throw a tantrum at him. However, Yvette Quinn was not such a person. She was a rational person and would analyze who was responsible.

“I’m sorry, I really didn’t expect you to be like this.” William Scott rubbed his nose. This didn’t seem to have any impact, but it was still exciting and erotic.

Yvette Quinn glared at William Scott and said, “Hmph, this matter is over. Don’t mention it again.”

“Okay!” His answer was very straightforward. It was easier to talk to Yvette Quinn.

After this incident, Yvette Quinn’s heart was in turmoil. She felt that she couldn’t think about the company properly. Then, she saw William Scott wolfing down the food and it actually aroused her appetite.

“What’s done is done, and it can’t be undone. It’s wiser to have a proper meal.”

Just as he was about to finish his meal, William Scott’s phone rang. It was his mother, Janna Sands.

He spoke curtly, “Mom, what’s the matter? Yvette and I are having dinner.”

“You guys are having dinner together? That’s not bad. Do you have anything on after dinner? If not, come home for a while?”

“I don’t think so. It’ll be late after dinner.”

“That’s true. You young people must have other programs after dinner. You don’t have to come back tonight.”

“Pfft, Mom, you’re really…” William Scott didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

After hanging up, he shook his head and said, “My mother actually told us to go home after dinner.”

“Then let’s go.”

“What?” William Scott looked at her in surprise.

Yvette Quinn said calmly, “I’m not in the mood to work today. Besides, I can’t always play along with you. Since I’m free now, I’ll go to your house to put on a show with you.”

William Scott thought for a moment and said, “That makes sense. Sorry to trouble you.”

Yvette Quinn quipped, “There’s no need to be so polite. In the current situation, we all need this relationship, so it’s necessary to cooperate with each other.”

“It’s wonderful to work with smart people.”

When they were almost done eating, the two of them paid the bill and left. Half an hour later, the two of them arrived at William Scott’s place.

When Janna Sands opened the door, the first person she saw was William Scott. She exclaimed, “You idiot, why are you back so early? Can’t you go watch a movie with Yvette? You have to watch a horror movie. When a girl is afraid, she will crawl into your arms and then, you can get a room. Do I have to teach you this?”

William Scott was instantly horrified. His mother’s words were too explosive. He coughed lightly and said, “Mom, look who’s here.”

“Hello, Auntie!” Yvette Quinn took a step towards the door from the side. Her face was crimson. Even though she was a CEO and could usually keep a straight face, these words were really too much for her.

“Yvette…” Janna Sands swallowed hard. She was so embarrassed that he wished she could find a hole to hide in.

However, Janna Sands’ heart was really strong. She immediately laughed and warmly pulled Yvette Quinn into the house. “Yvette, as a mother, I’m anxious to make you my daughter-in-law. As long as you don’t marry this kid, I won’t stop worrying. I’m talking nonsense. Don’t mind me.”

Yvette Quinn blushed and said, “It’s fine I don’t mind.”

“Is that so? How can you young people be as old-fashioned as us old people? You should enjoy what you’re supposed to enjoy. My son didn’t even tell me that you were coming. I didn’t even prepare anything.”

Yvette Quinn quickly chimed in, “Auntie, you’re too polite.”

“Yes, yes, we’re family. There’s no need to be so polite. I’m really happy that you’re here to chat with me.”

“I will.”

Janna Sands was extremely enthusiastic about Yvette Quinn. She had countless things to say to her.

Yvette Quinn chatted with Janna Sands as William Scott’s girlfriend. She did not have much experience. When she communicated via texts, she could take her time to mull over her replies. Now that she was chatting in person, she realized how chatty a person Janna Sands was.

Yvette Quinn could only deal with it passively. Basically, she nodded and agreed with whatever Janna Sands said.

“Look at you, child. This is your second time coming to our house. Why are you still so restrained? The first time you came, you weren’t even this restrained. Did you quarrel with that brat? Then tell me. I’ll stand up for you. I’ll scold him for you. Even if I beat him up, he won’t dare to say anything.”

Yvette Quinn and William Scott looked at each other, both knowing what the problem was.

Yvette Quinn and Xenia Lewis’ personalities were completely different. A career woman like Yvette Quinn basically never said anything useless, and she rarely chatted. Therefore, when she chatted with Janna Sands, she was really not used to it. Not to mention taking the initiative to talk about anything, even if she interrupted, it would be very difficult.

As for a lively girl like Xenia Lewis, she was completely different. No matter what Janna Sands talked about, she would join in. She even took the initiative to start a conversation with Janna Sands.

How could Janna Sands know that they were two different people? She naturally thought that there was a change in Yvette Quinn’s attitude.

William Scott felt a headache coming on. He had also ignored this problem. A person’s appearance could be similar and difficult to distinguish, but one’s personality and habits were too difficult.

Coughing lightly, Yvette Quinn smiled sweetly and said, “Auntie, I’m really sorry. There have been some problems at work these past two days, so I’ve been a little depressed. I shouldn’t have brought work matters home. William didn’t bully me. I’m the one who usually bullies him. I hope you don’t blame me.”

William Scott looked at Yvette Quinn and could not help but be stunned for a moment. What was going on? She was actually imitating Xenia Lewis’ tone. Was Xenia Lewis pretending to be Yvette Quinn or was Yvette Quinn pretending to be Xenia Lewis?
