I Met The Female CEO While Escaping A Blind Date

Chapter 97: Strike While the Iron is Hot

William Scott and Yvette Quinn’s eyes widened. They were dumbfounded and stared blankly at Janna Sands. Even though the both of them had gone through many storms in life, they were really at a loss now.

Janna Sands sat beside Yvette Quinn and said with a smile, “Yvette, I don’t know what material you like, so I randomly selected one for you. Try it and see if it fits.”

William Scott glanced at it and saw the price tag. It was nearly 300 dollars. His mother was really willing to spend money. She had never bought clothes that cost more than 100 dollars. Yet, she actually bought a set of pajamas for Yvette Quinn that cost so much.

When Yvette Quinn saw the price, she was shocked. Even if she was rich, the price was still expensive for a set of pajamas. “Auntie, you’re… too nice to me.”

“It’s fine, it’s nothing much. I just want to see you and William get along well. Besides, isn’t our money for you all to spend? If we keep it with us, we’re merely waiting to bring it to our graves.”

Yvette Quinn was so touched that she was about to cry. If they were a rich family, spending this money to buy a set of pajamas would naturally not be a big deal. But for an ordinary family like theirs, it seemed to be quite an extravagant gesture. She said softly, “Thank you, Auntie.”

Janna Sands patted the back of Yvette Quinn’s hand and said, “Why are you thanking me for? We’re family. And I’m very devoted to my family. You can do whatever you want. All right, it’s getting late. Hurry up and take a shower and rest. I’ll watch television for a little longer.”

William Scott thought that if his mother returned to her room, he could take Yvette Quinn and slip away. However, his mother had made her attitude clear. She was here to supervise the two of them. If they wanted to leave, they had to get past her.

He looked at Yvette Quinn, who suddenly smiled and said, “Then I’ll go take a shower first.”

“Huh?” William Scott was instantly dumbfounded.

Janna Sands glared at him and said, “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and go with Yvette. She’s not familiar with our place.”

William Scott followed Yvette Quinn into the bathroom and whispered, “Why did you agree?”

“Do I have a reason to refuse?” The expression on Yvette Quinn’s face was calm.

......

“But…” William Scott frowned.

“I believe you!” she smiled faintly. “Go out first. I know what to do.”

William Scott and Yvette Quinn gazed at each other for a few seconds, before he shook his head slightly. He then walked out helplessly.

When they reached the living room, Janna Sands pulled William Scott and pinched his ear. She glared at him and whispered, “Rascal, are you stupid? Are you a moron?”

“Yes, yes, I am!” William Scott hurriedly begged for mercy.

“Don’t you know how to strike while the iron is hot? Don’t you know how to seize the opportunity? If your relationship has progressed, you have to keep an eye on her. You don’t give her a chance to think. That’s how you win and keep her. I don’t know how I raised such a stupid son!”

William Scott was speechless. What kind of theory was this? He still had to agree, “Yes, okay, I understand. Didn’t she agree to stay?”

Janna Sands glared at him and said, “That’s because your mother is smart. If you count on yourself, I reckon you won’t make much progress in another year.”

“All right, Mom is the most brilliant. You’re my guiding light.”

“Hmph, that’s more like it.” Only then did Janna Sands let William Scott go.

After Yvette Quinn finished showering, William Scott went to take a shower. Smelling the scent of the shampoo in the bathroom, he couldn’t help but imagine the scene of Yvette Quinn showering here. He actually felt a little restless.

He quickly shook his head and abandoned those messy thoughts to the back of his mind. He could not let such thoughts develop. It would be easy for him to make mistakes.

When he came out of the shower, his mother and Yvette Quinn were still in the living room. As soon as he came out, Janna Sands stood up and said, “All right, go and rest. I have to take a shower before I sleep.”

William Scott and Yvette Quinn went into the bedroom. He closed the door behind them. The sound of the door closing made her stiffen slightly.

William Scott hesitated for a moment before saying, “Well… I’d better lock the door. I’m really not sure now if my mother will come in early tomorrow morning and pretend to take something.”

Yvette Quinn turned around and was conflicted between laughing or crying. “Surely not?”

William Scott smiled bitterly and said, “Maybe. Can’t you tell? My mother went through a lot of trouble for the two of us. She was just short of staying in the room to spy on us.”

Naturally, Yvette Quinn felt it too, but at this moment, she chuckled and said, “I think she is very interesting.”

“Erase that thought. She gives me a headache every day.”

The two of them fell silent for a moment, and then Yvette Quinn said, “Then go to bed. I do have a lot to do tomorrow.”

William Scott agreed and said, “Okay.”

The two of them got into bed from opposite sides. William Scott turned off the lights and said, “Go to sleep.”

“Okay.” Yvette Quinn replied. Then the two of them fell silent.

For a full ten minutes, William Scott could still sense that Yvette Quinn’s breathing wasn’t calm, and she was obviously still very nervous. He said, “Don’t worry, I can guarantee that I won’t touch you.”

She said, “I trust you, but this is indeed the first time I’m sleeping in the same bed with a man. I just feel a little awkward. You slept in the same bed as Xenia that day. Don’t tell me you really just lay on the bed and fell asleep?”

“She asked me to tell her a story. I told her one and I fell asleep from exhaustion myself. I don’t know when she fell asleep.”

Yvette Quinn chuckled and said, “You’re really something. You can actually fall asleep first with a beauty sleeping in the same bed.”

William Scott also smiled and said, “I have a strength, and that is, I never fantasize. If I know that I can’t do something, I definitely won’t fantasize about it and torture myself. If I’m tired, I’ll naturally sleep.”

“That is really not easy.”

“I just want to make my life easier.” William Scott yawned and said, “Go to sleep. You have to work tomorrow.”

“Yeah.”

After the two of them chatted for a while, Yvette Quinn really relaxed a little. After a while, William Scott’s steady snores sounded, letting her see how sleepy he really was. He could really fall asleep first.

However, this way, she would really be completely relieved. Sleepiness overwhelmed her and she quickly fell asleep.

When Yvette Quinn woke up the next morning, William Scott was no longer in bed. She turned over and looked at the time. It was half past seven. She sat up quickly.
