Chapter 6: Fake
At around 10 pm, Yvette Quinn sent him a Whatsapp message.
“I’m taking my parents out to see the sights tomorrow.”
There was also a payment transfer. Five thousand yuan!
William Scott clicked ‘accept’. He and Yvette Quinn were just having a transaction that involved money. It was a good thing that they had settled the issue this way. Then, he replied, “There’s no problem with going sightseeing. I’ll arrange it. However, you’ve already dug a hole for yourself.”
“What do you mean?”
“We’re going out for a day. Since we’re a couple, shouldn’t we act more intimate? Otherwise, we’ll be exposed sooner or later. You should know that Larry Zion is looking for flaws everywhere!”
“Then what should we do…”
“It seems like you don’t have much dating experience. I have two proposals for you to choose from.”
“Tell me.”
“Firstly, we’ll be acting very intimate. It’s not just physical intimacy. It’s more of an emotional intimacy, which includes our eyes, expressions, and other aspects. We need to make others feel that the two of us love each other very deeply. This isn’t just difficult for you, but it’s also very difficult for me. However, there’s one good thing. Your parents will believe that our relationship is very close. Also, it’ll give Larry Zion a blow and make him give up his pursuit of you.”
“I can’t do that.”
“The second option is that we treat each other with respect, which means we are in a state of mutual appreciation. However, we will only look like a couple on the surface. Your parents won’t mind, and Larry Zion will still be confident. Also… I can feel that your parents will still be more inclined to let you be with Larry Zion.”
“This effect is too weak. What about a moderate option between the two?”
......
“You want us to not be intimate, but also want them to feel like our relationship is stable. This is really difficult.”
“Then let’s follow the second plan first. I’ll decide when the time comes.”
“Alright, as expected of a boss.” He sent a thumbs up emoji.
After sending the message, there was no response. William Scott didn’t mind and searched for the place they were going to online.
It had been five or six years since he left his hometown. The changes in his hometown during these five or six years were too drastic. If he had not driven with the navigation system, William Scott would not have been able to tell where he was. As a local, he was probably less familiar with this place than some people who had lived here for a year or two.
As a soldier, no matter how difficult it was, he had to complete his mission once he received an order. This was a habit he had developed over the years. He had left the army, and there were no more missions. However, William Scott was still a man of his word.
The next day, William Scott rented an MPV and quickly went shopping. At nine o’clock, he arrived at Yvette Quinn’s neighborhood.
“Why didn’t you come out with Uncle and Auntie?”
In less than two minutes, William Scott saw Yvette Quinn come out of a taxi and immediately went up to her with a confused expression.
“Oh…” Yvette Quinn turned to look at him with a confused look in her eyes. Then, she smiled brightly and blinked. “I had something to take care of. I just rushed back.”
William Scott was stunned for a moment. Even though it was just one sentence, he already felt that something was wrong. Yvette Quinn’s aura had changed a lot today. She was no longer the arrogant and aloof CEO, but a young and lively beauty.
Sensing the doubt in William Scott’s eyes, Yvette Quinn raised her chin and said, “Why? Do you like to see me with a straight face all day? Can’t I relax a little today?”
William Scott immediately gave her a thumbs up and said, “Impressive, impressive. I never expected you to have such a side to you. I don’t even dare to acknowledge you anymore.”
Yvette Quinn winked at William Scott again. “Right? If I always let you see that same side of me, I’m afraid you’ll get sick of it. If I change my style, it’ll make you feel a little fresh.”
William Scott narrowed his eyes and reached out to hug Yvette Quinn’s shoulders. He smiled and said, “Yes, yes, you’re really stunning. Let me hug you.”
“Ah!” Yvette Quinn immediately jumped back and rolled her eyes at William Scott. “It’s broad daylight. Stop fooling around. There are so many people watching.”
William Scott smiled and took another step forward. “We’re not doing anything else. We can’t hug each other when we’re dating?”
“You really want to hug me?” Yvette Quinn narrowed her eyes at William Scott.
“That’s right! You’re so adorable today! I really can’t take it anymore!” William Scott spread his arms wide.
“Alright, then hug me.” Yvette Quinn lifted her chin and puffed out her chest, but there was a mischievous glint in her eyes.
William Scott’s arms were getting closer and closer to Yvette Quinn’s body. Yvette Quinn’s expression was getting more and more nervous.
William Scott’s arms suddenly stopped in mid-air before he put it down. With a bitter smile on his face, he said, “You can’t trick me like this. Don’t you know that human nature can’t withstand temptations? Little sister.”
“Ah…” Yvette Quinn let out a soft cry. Then, her expression relaxed and she smiled brightly. “My sister mentioned me to you?”
“No.” William Scott shook his head.
“Then how do you know that I’m not her?” Yvette Quinn, no, this should be a fake Yvette Quinn asking curiously.
William Scott didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as he said, “Even if the two of you look very similar, there are still some differences. If you look closely, you can still tell. Also, the two of you have different personalities. How can I not feel that you’ve changed so much all of a sudden?”
Moreover, the biggest problem was that Yvette Quinn and he were only pretending to be a couple. The one in front of him obviously did not know about this at all! The flaw was too obvious! However, William Scott could not say these words out loud.
“You’re quite observant.” The fake Yvette Quinn extended her hand. “Let’s get to know each other. I’m Xenia Lewis. Yvette Quinn is my cousin.”
“I’m William Scott!” William Scott shook her hand and released it politely. He smiled and said, “Cousins, you two look so similar. It’s really rare to see this.”
Xenia Lewis smiled proudly and said, “Our mothers are twins, and our genes are more inclined towards our mothers, so we look very similar.”
As they were talking, Yvette Quinn and the rest had already walked out of the district. When they saw William Scott and Xenia Lewis standing together, Yvette Quinn’s expression changed. Her cousin was an imp. Now that she met William Scott first, could it be that she had been exposed?
