I Met The Female CEO While Escaping A Blind Date-Chapter 62
Chapter 62: True Feelings
โThisโฆ Sheila, Iโm sorry. I know you mean well, but I have my own things to do now. I canโt be your assistant.โ ๐๐ณ๐๐๐e๐ฏn๐ผ๐ท๐๐.๐เซฆ๐ถ
Coughing lightly, William Scott felt that there was a need to explain things to Sheila Zinc. At the same time, he understood why she suddenly offered to hire him to be her assistant. She definitely wanted to help him. Just this thought alone touched him.
โYouโฆโ Sheila Zinc was stunned for a moment. Then, she immediately grabbed William Scottโs hand anxiously and said, โWilliam, donโt misunderstand. I donโt mean to look down on your current job, but I really need someone to help me. Iโm really working too hard myselfโฆ Your handโฆ โ
Halfway through her sentence, Sheila Zinc suddenly held William Scottโs hand and scrutinized his rough palm and the thick calluses on his knuckles. How hard had he worked to get so many calluses? Her eyes suddenly turned red. She raised her head again and said in a choked voice, โYouโre you. No matter what you do, youโre so hardworking. Itโs really hard on you.โ
At this moment, William Scott didnโt know whether to laugh or cry. He said, โMy calluses didnโt result from moving things.โ
Sheila Zinc suddenly shook her head and her tone became sharper. She said, โDonโt say anything, William. I know youโre a very proud man. Even if you encounter difficulties, you donโt need anyoneโs help. But Iโm your classmate. When you helped me in high school, you never asked me to thank you. Canโt you let me help you now?โ
Sheila Zincโs sudden outburst shocked William Scott. He had never seen her so worked up in his three years of high school.
โYouโre William Scott. Youโre the outstanding William Scott. Being a mover is a waste of your talent. Thatโs a waste of your talent. This definitely wonโt do. I definitely wonโt let your talent be buried. Youโฆ have to come with me!โ
He met Sheila Zincโs gaze, but his gaze became gentler and gentler. The corners of his mouth curled up, and a gentle smile appeared on his face. He said, โSheila, thank you really. I thought you had always hated me in school. Who knew that in your eyes, I was actually so outstanding?โ
โDonโt say these useless things. This matter is settled, do you hear me?โ Sheila Zincโs tone softened.
William Scott replied, โThisโฆ If I were really a mover, I would definitely accept your offer immediately. Howeverโฆโ
โBut what?โ Sheila Zinc frowned.
โBut Iโm really not a mover. Nadia Sawyer and the others have misunderstood. I have my own stuff to do.โ
......
She grabbed William Scottโs hand again and raised it. She said angrily, โYou still want to lie to me? Look at your hand. Why do you have so many calluses on your hand?โ
โThis is from my military training. I havenโt even been home for two months. Itโs only been such a short time since I came home. Do you reckon I have to live so miserably?โ
โYou โฆ then why did they say you were a mover?โ
William Scott did not know whether to laugh or cry. โI formed a partnership with someone to start a small company. At that time, it was being renovated. I helped the renovation workers to carry the things, and then Nadia Sawyer thought I was a mover.โ
Sheila Zinc still did not believe him. โThen arenโt you going to explain?โ
He shrugged. โDo you think itโs a good idea to explain to Nadia Sawyer when she has set her mind on?โ
Sheila Zinc met William Scottโs gaze and said, โThatโs true. If she believes so, you definitely wonโt bother to explain.โ
โHaha, you know me well.โ
Sheila Zinc suddenly let go of William Scottโs hand and took a step back. Her face had turned red. She opened her mouth and said awkwardly, โIโm really sorry. I actually suspected you just now.โ
William Scott felt an indescribable warmth in his heart. โI know you care about me. I canโt thank you enough.โ
Sheila Zinc suddenly turned around and walked forward. He trailed behind her. For a moment, neither of them spoke.
โDidnโt I make a fool of myself just now?โ Sheila Zinc suddenly shook her head and said self-deprecatingly.
William Scott replied sincerely, โNo, weโre both classmates. I know that you really want to help me from the bottom of your heart. Iโm really touched.โ
โOhโฆโ Sheila Zinc turned to give him a sweet smile. โI feel that youโve changed so much.โ
โIs it?โ
She pursed her lips and smiled. โThatโs right. Youโre not so flamboyant anymore. Youโve become much more restrained and calm. If it was in the past, if someone misunderstood you and belittled you, you would definitely beat him up.โ
โHa, I was young and impulsive back then. I canโt stand being wronged. Now that my edges have been smoothed out, I donโt care so much about many things.โ
โThatโs not something most people can do. You must have been through a lot over the years. If you have time, can you tell meโฆ about it?โ
William Scott replied casually, โOf course. Itโs my honor that our class belle is willing to chat with me.โ
Sheila Zincโs eyebrows curved even more. She said, โYou made me a promise! When I want to chat with you, youโre not allowed to reject me. Oh, right, I was being too reckless. If your girlfriend sees this, there will be a misunderstanding.โ
William Scott shrugged and said, โI donโt have a girlfriend now, and I havenโt thought of finding one yet.โ
He could sense that Sheila Zinc probably had feelings for him. This was actually very rare. After all, with her status, she didnโt even understand his current situation and still harbored such feelings for him. This was enough to show how real her feelings were.
William Scott had always thought that it was wishful thinking on his part in school. Who would have thought that Sheila Zinc would actually have feelings for him? Otherwise, she wouldnโt be acting like this now. He even had the urge to ask her when she started liking him.
The feelings were genuine and pure, but when he thought about the future, he dismissed it. The return to his present life was temporary. His future had been planned from the moment he entered the Beast Howl. In less than two years, he would have to return to the Beast Howl. Everything he had was given to him by them. In return, he would have to give his everything back, to the army, and to the country. He could not give a woman happiness at all. So he would have to forsake all romantic relationships.
Therefore, William Scott spoke bluntly to Sheila Zinc, so that she would not have any fantasies.
