Chapter 62: 62

“This… Sheila, I’m sorry. I know you mean well, but I have my own things to do now. I can’t be your assistant.”

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.

“You…” Sheila Zinc was stunned for a moment. Then, she immediately grabbed William Scott’s hand anxiously and said, “William, don’t misunderstand. I don’t mean to look down on your current job, but I really need someone to help me. I’m really working too hard myself… Your hand… ”

Halfway through her sentence, Sheila Zinc suddenly held William Scott’s 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, “You’re you. No matter what you do, you’re so hardworking. It’s really hard on you.”

At this moment, William Scott didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He said, “My calluses didn’t result from moving things.”

Sheila Zinc suddenly shook her head and her tone became sharper. She said, “Don’t say anything, William. I know you’re a very proud man. Even if you encounter difficulties, you don’t need anyone’s help. But I’m your classmate. When you helped me in high school, you never asked me to thank you. Can’t you let me help you now?”

Sheila Zinc’s sudden outburst shocked William Scott. He had never seen her so worked up in his three years of high school.

“You’re William Scott. You’re the outstanding William Scott. Being a mover is a waste of your talent. That’s a waste of your talent. This definitely won’t do. I definitely won’t let your talent be buried. You… have to come with me!”

He met Sheila Zinc’s 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, “Sheila, thank you really. I thought you had always hated me in school. Who knew that in your eyes, I was actually so outstanding?”

“Don’t say these useless things. This matter is settled, do you hear me?” Sheila Zinc’s tone softened.

William Scott replied, “This… If I were really a mover, I would definitely accept your offer immediately. However…”

“But what?” Sheila Zinc frowned.

“But I’m really not a mover. Nadia Sawyer and the others have misunderstood. I have my own stuff to do.”

She grabbed William Scott’s hand again and raised it. She said angrily, “You still want to lie to me? Look at your hand. Why do you have so many calluses on your hand?”

“This is from my military training. I haven’t even been home for two months. It’s only been such a short time since I came home. Do you reckon I have to live so miserably?”

“You … then why did they say you were a mover?”

William Scott did not know whether to laugh or cry. “I 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.”

Sheila Zinc still did not believe him. “Then aren’t you going to explain?”

He shrugged. “Do you think it’s a good idea to explain to Nadia Sawyer when she has set her mind on?”

Sheila Zinc met William Scott’s gaze and said, “That’s true. If she believes so, you definitely won’t bother to explain.”

“Haha, you know me well.”

Sheila Zinc suddenly let go of William Scott’s hand and took a step back. Her face had turned red. She opened her mouth and said awkwardly, “I’m really sorry. I actually suspected you just now.”

William Scott felt an indescribable warmth in his heart. “I know you care about me. I can’t thank you enough.”

Sheila Zinc suddenly turned around and walked forward. He trailed behind her. For a moment, neither of them spoke.

“Didn’t I make a fool of myself just now?” Sheila Zinc suddenly shook her head and said self-deprecatingly.

William Scott replied sincerely, “No, we’re both classmates. I know that you really want to help me from the bottom of your heart. I’m really touched.”

“Oh…” Sheila Zinc turned to give him a sweet smile. “I feel that you’ve changed so much.”

“Is it?”

She pursed her lips and smiled. “That’s right. You’re not so flamboyant anymore. You’ve 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.”

“Ha, I was young and impulsive back then. I can’t stand being wronged. Now that my edges have been smoothed out, I don’t care so much about many things.”

“That’s not something most people can do. You must have been through a lot over the years. If you have time, can you tell me… about it?”

William Scott replied casually, “Of course. It’s my honor that our class belle is willing to chat with me.”

Sheila Zinc’s eyebrows curved even more. She said, “You made me a promise! When I want to chat with you, you’re not allowed to reject me. Oh, right, I was being too reckless. If your girlfriend sees this, there will be a misunderstanding.”

William Scott shrugged and said, “I don’t have a girlfriend now, and I haven’t thought of finding one yet.”

He could sense that Sheila Zinc probably had feelings for him. This was actually very rare. After all, with her status, she didn’t 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 wouldn’t 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.
