Chapter 69: Liked Seeing Her Smile Part 3
"Each of them owns shares of the Scott Group. They receive dividends from the company every year, however, they usually don't participate in the company's direct management." "Lucas and Colton have always wanted to replace me as president. You already know that. This time, they will bring their girlfriends to attend Grandfather's birthday party!"
Alina looked up at Wilson, a puzzled expression on her face. "So?"
"Don't be too distant with me. Grandfather will want to see us being lovey-dovey," Wilson said with a laugh.
He turned his head away as he smiled discreetly, a mischievous glint in his eyes.
Wilson cleared his throat and put on a serious expression. Then he said solemnly, "So, when we go back to the Scott Family villa, don't feel uncomfortable or push me away if I do something overly affectionate to you."
Alina carefully thought about it and finally nodded.
Wilson's heart skipped a beat when he saw that Alina agreed. He tried to convince her. "Let's practice later so that we won't be caught by surprise when we are back at Scott Villa."
Alina was speechless at his words. After mulling over it for a bit, Wilson made sense. They needed to practice, otherwise, she might push him away out of reflex. It would be a huge embarrassment if it happened.
Seeing as Alina had acquiesced, Wilson was in a good mood. He spun Alina around and walked out of the garden. "The barbecue should be ready. Let's go!"
"Okay!" Alina nodded. She had wanted to accompany Rosie for a long time now.
Wilson held Alina's hand all the way back to the lawn where they were still preparing the food.
Jayden looked up at the both of them and shouted, "Wilson, who do you think you are? Don't just stand there and look. Now you're not in the Scott Group, okay? You are not a president here. Come here, move this thing for me."
Wilson raised his eyebrows. "Ask Bill to do it. He is stronger."
Bill and Jayden exchanged glares at each other. Both of them wanted nothing more than to beat Wilson into a pulp right now.
Jayden ground his teeth at Wilson and stopped wasting time by asking him to help. Instead, he called Bill over. "Bill, come and help me move this. I have to pick up Miss Monica soon."
Hearing the name 'Miss Monica', Wilson frowned. "Which Miss Monica?"
Jayden raised his brows smugly. "Who else could it be? Mr. Harry only has one precious daughter, okay? Of course, it's Monica Adams, the precious daughter of the Adams Family."
Jayden looked at the time on his wrist. "It's getting late. I have to go now. Bill, I'll leave this to you."
"Jayden Lewis, what do you mean by this?" Wilson stretched out his foot and blocked Jayden's path, calling him by his full name.
Jayden had a bitter expression on his face. "Wilson, you are too sensitive to these matters. Alright, alright!"
With that, Jayden pulled Wilson aside and whispered in a low voice, "Didn't I tell you last time that I accepted a case worth 20 million dollars? It was to stop Mr. Harry from investigating an incident that happened twenty years ago. This involves the Adams Family, so I have to dig deeper to get more information. It was not easy to get in touch with Miss Monica."
After that, Jayden ran away as if a dog was after him.
Wilson frowned and walked back towards Alina.
Alina was preparing the skewers for the barbecue with Rosie. Several servants of the Lewis Family were preparing the food with them as well.
Wilson stopped in his tracks and stood still like a statue. He was not far away from Alina.
Wilson stared at Alina, who was chatting animatedly with Rosie as they prepared the skewers. Rosie even had a smile on her face even though she was upset by the ordeal before this. ☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
