Chapter 75: Mars Crashes Into Earth

Xavier Herd was staring at the three of them with his mouth agape, but when William Scott looked at him, he turned his head away swiftly. He was just short of shouting at William Scott, “Don’t get me to help, I can’t interfere.”

Of course, William Scott did not want the two of them to continue fighting like this. He raised his voice, “Xavier, come here. Let me introduce you.”

Xavier Herd had no choice but to bite the bullet and come over. He chuckled at Xenia Lewis and said, “Hello, Sister-in-law. I’m Xavier Herd.”

Hearing him call her sister-in-law, the smile in Xenia Lewis’ eyes deepened. She took the initiative to shake his hand and said, “Xavier, I heard from William that you’re his good friend. Come over and visit us when you’re free in the future.”

Xavier Herd immediately said excitedly, “Sure, sure. There are so many beauties here. It’s indeed very fun.”

Xenia Lewis chuckled and said, “Then I’ll introduce you to them later.”

Xavier Herd immediately beamed with joy and hurriedly said, “Then I have to thank you, Sister-in-law. If I can just have a casual chat with these pretty ladies, it’s enough for me to brag.”

Just as he was talking happily, he suddenly felt a pain in his calf. He saw that Sheila Zinc had just retracted the tip of her shoe and he was suddenly shocked. By right, he should be on the same team as her. Now that he was fawning over Xenia Lewis, and in doing so, he had betrayed Sheila Zinc.

At this moment, Xenia Lewis said, “Xavier, Sheila, why don’t you come to our office?”

Sheila Zinc said, “Sure, I’ll have to trouble you, CEO Quinn.”

Xavier Herd quickly interjected, “I think this place is quite fun. I reckon I should stay here and take a look.”

“Just go.” William Scott immediately glared at him with his eyes. Facing the two women was like being roasted on a fire. With Xavier Herd around, he could at least reduce some of the tension.

Xavier Herd gave William Scott a helpless and bitter smile.

At this moment, Xenia Lewis said, “Since Xavier wants to stay, William, just show him around. I’ll show Sheila around then. She definitely wants to admire different things from you guys.”

“Okay, sure!” William Scott and Xavier Herd agreed and slipped away.

The two of them watched as Xenia Lewis and Sheila Zinc left. Xavier Herd heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, “William, you have a girlfriend? Why didn’t you tell me in advance? Then I wouldn’t have brought Sheila Zinc here. At the very least, I would have informed you in advance before I brought her here. Now that Mars is crashing into Earth, aren’t you doomed?”

At this moment, William Scott did not care much. “It’s nothing.”

“Nothing? It’s not like I couldn’t tell how you and Sheila were the day before yesterday. She clearly treated you as her boyfriend. Most importantly, you didn’t tell her you had a girlfriend. This is… a little overboard.”

William Scott patted Xavier Herd’s shoulder and said, “Let them settle this matter themselves. Sometimes, giving up isn’t necessarily a bad thing.”

Xavier Herd rolled his eyes and said, “What nonsense are you talking about? Let me ask you, who do you want to choose?”

Regarding matters of the heart, if it did not involve Sheila Zinc, William Scott should have told Xavier Herd. After all, this was a friend he trusted very much.

However, because one of them was Sheila Zinc, and Xavier Herd had a good relationship with Sheila Zinc, Xavier Herd would definitely not be able to hide it. In the end, he would spill the truth to her, and that was why William Scott could only hide it from him.

“I’m asking you a question. Who exactly do you like?” Xavier Herd straightened his neck and questioned William Scott.

William Scott sighed softly and said, “Xavier, my relationship with Sheila can only be a teenage fantasy. Now, it suddenly became a reality and then I was pushed into it. But I’ve calmed down. This is already in the past, so I still have to choose to be with my girlfriend.”

Xavier Herd met William Scott’s gaze, before he suddenly punched him and said, “I thought you wanted to be like the male lead in novels, saying that you like both of them and don’t know which one to choose. In the end, you want to have a harem of women. If you really do that, I’ll really look down on you.”

William Scott chuckled and said, “That’s just a novel. In reality, isn’t that a scumbag? If I like a girl, that means I will only like her. If I don’t like a girl, I should just let go so that I don’t harm others.”

Xavier Herd said, “All right, since you’ve already decided, I’ll help you to advise Sheila Zinc later. But to be honest, we’re all classmates. I still hope that you can be with Sheila.”

Seeing that William Scott did not respond, Xavier Herd said, “Since you’ve made your decision, I won’t persuade you. However, what I’m worried about now is… Will your girlfriend let you off if Sheila Zinc came to look for you? I’ve seen this happen on television too. Your girlfriend is the CEO, and she’s also a very domineering woman. Can she stand it if you suddenly have a first love and even come knocking on your door? Will you lose everything?”

William Scott smiled. “That’s because you have a misunderstanding about Yvette. Actually she’s very reasonable.”

“Really? I don’t really believe that. Tomorrow morning, you’d better tell me you’re safe and sound. But I’m really worried that I’m going to send you on your final journey.”

“Get lost!” William Scott punched Xavier Herd. This guy’s mouth was really mean, but they were friends. He didn’t mind being criticized like this.

Xavier Herd grinned and said, “I’m serious. If it were anyone else, they would probably flip out.”

William Scott put his arm around his shoulder and said, “It’s fine. Let’s go. I’ll show you their practice rooms.”

Xavier Herd shook his head and said, “Bro, this isn’t about saving face. If you want me to take the blame, just say it.”

“Am I that kind of person? Besides, how can you take the blame for me?”

“How would I know? I just took pity on you and wanted to help.”

The two of them were talking nonsense here. In Xenia Lewis’ office, she and Sheila Zinc were a little tense.

Xenia Lewis was, after all, in her territory. She poured a glass of water for Sheila Zinc and said, “William has never mentioned your name to me before. If I had known that he had a first love like you, I wouldn’t have let him attend this class gathering.”

Sheila Zinc’s heart was still in a mess, but facing Xenia Lewis, her instinct was not to weaken her aura. She smiled and said, “First love can’t be replaced. After all, people will always remember who won first place. Who remembers the runner ups?”

Xenia Lewis shook her head gently and said, “I’m not targeting you. I just don’t understand. William actually asked you to come here? Could it be that he wants us to meet on purpose?”
