Chapter 26: 26

Xenia Lewis’s company was very small. They rented an office room that was about fifty to sixty square meters and divided it into two rooms. There were only two young ladies in the outer room. Their looks were alright, but they were not considered great beauties.

After greeting them, Xenia Lewis walked into the room. However, William Scott felt that the atmosphere was a little strange. The two girls were obviously hesitant to speak, and their expressions were very unnatural.

There were only two desks in the room, and there were all kinds of camera equipment. It looked a little messy. Behind one of the desks sat a girl who was around Xenia Lewis’s age. When she saw Xenia Lewis, she stood up and revealed an unnatural smile.

Xenia Lewis didn’t notice anything unusual and said, “Joan Cairn, why are you calling me back so urgently? I was talking to them about the venue at Century Square.”

Only then did William Scott know that Xenia Lewis had another motive for going there to play. Perhaps it was because of insufficient funds. If Xenia Lewis wanted to use their venue, she would have to familiarize herself with the people there so that she could save some money.

“This is…” Joan Cairn did not answer her directly. Instead, she turned to look at William Scott.

Xenia Lewis immediately said, “This is my cousin-in-law. He just happened to be working with me today. It’s fine, just say what you want.”

Joan Cairn replied with an ‘oh’. Then, she bit her lips and said, “Xenia, I am really sorry. I… something happened at home. I am in a hurry to use the money…”

Xenia Lewis immediately and straightforwardly asked, “How much do you need? I still have some in my hand. I’ll give it to you first.”

“No, no…” A look of guilt appeared on Joan Cairn’s face and she said, “That is not what I meant. What I meant was… this time, I will not be coming back. So… I want to withdraw.”

“Withdraw?” Xenia Lewis’s eyes widened. “Even though we’re facing some difficulties now, the investors we’ve contacted will be coming over to inspect us in the next few days. If we succeed this time, we’ll be able to make this bigger. How can you withdraw now?”

“Xenia, the investors… sigh.” Joan Cairn wanted to say something but hesitated. Then, she sighed and said, “I really have to go back. I have no choice but to withdraw. I have already checked our assets. There is… a total of 400,000 dollars.”

Joan Cairn spoke in a low voice.

“400,000 dollars… You have to know that when we talked to the investors, the company’s valuation was five million dollars. Now you’re evaluating a total of 400,000 dollars. Isn’t that too much of a loss?”

“That’s because the financing hasn’t been successful yet. I can only calculate based on our current assets. Xenia, as long as you give me 200,000 dollars, I’ll withdraw and the company will be yours. As for how much your company is valued and how much money you can get from financing, it has nothing to do with me.”

“You…” Xenia Lewis still wanted to persuade her.

Joan Cairn quickly said, “Xenia, I know you want to expand the company. However, this is not an easy task. We are still young. We can find something easier to do. I… that is it. I am still waiting to go back. Can you… give me 200,000 dollars?”

Xenia Lewis frowned and said, “How can I take out 200,000 dollars at once? If I could, we wouldn’t have to look for the funds.”

“Then, think of something. Isn’t your cousin very rich? Right, isn’t your cousin-in-law here? Just get him to pay.” Joan Cairn cast her gaze at William Scott.

William Scott met Joan Cairn’s gaze and a faint smile appeared on his face. He said, “Money is not a problem, but… have you really decided?”

Joan Cairn felt as though William Scott’s gaze could peer into the depths of her heart. It was as though William Scott had seen through her. She quickly avoided his gaze and said, “Have I really decided?”

William Scott took out his cell phone and said calmly, “You still have a chance to retract your words now. If I give you money, you won’t have a chance to change your mind.”

“I will not regret it,” Joan Cairn answered quickly.

“Alright, give me your account number. Xenia, sign it with her.”

Xenia Lewis hurriedly said, “William…”

William Scott smiled. “Since she has already made up his mind, don’t force her anymore.”

Joan Cairn quickly replied, “Yes, I have already decided. Xenia, let’s leave it at that.”

“Sigh…” Xenia Lewis heaved a long sigh. She was extremely reluctant to part with her, but in the end, he had no choice but to sign the transfer contract.

William Scott also transferred the money directly to Joan Cairn.

Xenia Lewis was about to continue talking to Joan Cairn when Joan Cairn’s cell phone rang. She looked at the number and said, “I’m going to take this call.” Then, she ran out.

“How can this be? How can Joan quit just like that? This is too sudden.” Xenia Lewis frowned and shook her head.

William Scott narrowed his eyes. “Something might happen next.”

“What else?” Xenia Lewis frowned and said, “This is already the worst news. Is there anything worse?”

William Scott asked, “Which company is your investor?”

Xenia Lewis immediately asked, “Millennium Productions Productions, what’s wrong?”

“Millennium Productions? Oh, I got it.”

Xenia Lewis rolled her eyes at William Scott and said, “William, why are you speaking so mysteriously? Your words are making me nervous and a little scared.”

William Scott laughed. “Don’t worry, it’s nothing much. Sometimes, bad news can turn into good news.”

Joan Cairn walked in again. Her lips moved a little and she said, “Xenia, the representatives of the sponsors are here.”

“What? The representatives are here?” Xenia Lewis exclaimed excitedly. “Why is it so sudden? We’re not ready yet.”

“There’s no need to prepare. I’m here to take a look at the company that our school belle, Xenia Lewis, runs.” A woman’s voice was accompanied by the footsteps of several people.

“Delilah Xenos!” Xenia Lewis shouted as if she had seen a ghost.

The woman walking in the middle was about the same age as Xenia Lewis. She was dressed in a Gucci business suit and wore a four-leaf clover necklace from Van Cleef and Arpels around her neck. She was also quite pretty. She raised her chin and said in a condescending manner, “That’s right, it’s me. You didn’t expect it, right?”

“Why are you here?” Xenia Lewis was still a little confused. Delilah Xenos was her university alumnus, and the two of them knew each other in the student union. However, they didn’t have a good relationship because Xenia Lewis had a lively personality and many boys liked to surround her. Delilah Xenos was quite jealous of her, so she said some malicious things to Xenia Lewis behind her back. Later on, she even mocked Xenia Lewis to her face. Even though their relationship wasn’t like fire and water, they were basically the type that would never get along.
