Chapter 59: First Love

“A mover?”

Everyone looked at William Scott strangely.

William Scott was also stunned for a moment, then he understood. This woman was Hayley Lands, and she should be very close to Nadia Sawyer. When Nadia Sawyer first saw William Scott, she misunderstood him for a mover and she told Hayley Lands. Later, although Nadia Sawyer knew that William Scott’s identity was not simple, under his instructions, she did not update Hayley Lands.

Hayley Lands clicked her tongue and said, “Tsk, I really didn’t expect that the most famous classmate in our class back then would actually land in such a dire state.”

William Scott smiled and said, “There’s nothing wrong with that, right?”

Hayley Lands smiled and said, “There isn’t a noble nor lowly job. I just feel sorry for you. In the past, I always thought that you have a very promising future. Even if your success can’t be compared to Ronan Toft, you should at least be doing well. Who would have thought that you would actually be doing so badly?”

Ronan Toft laughed and said, “Hayley Lands, you can’t say that. Isn’t there a saying that every dog has its day? William Scott was just unlucky. Don’t say anything else. When you come to my company, I’ll arrange a job for you. That’s definitely better than being a mover, right?”

“Right, right. Ronan Toft is still the best.”

“William Scott, hurry up and thank Ronan Toft.”

William Scott did not know whether to laugh or cry. At this moment, he could not be bothered to explain. He smiled and said, “Thank you, Ronan Toft.”

“Don’t stand on ceremony with me.” Ronan Toft swept his gaze around and said, “Why isn’t Sheila Zinc here yet?”

Sheila Zinc!

A girl came to William Scott’s mind.

In William Scott’s high school life, Sheila Zinc was definitely someone he could never forget. She was also the only girl at that age who could touch his heart.

Sheila Zinc was beautiful, that was for sure. However, what attracted William Scott the most was her gentle and elegant temperament. Every time she spoke, her eyebrows would curve like two crescent moons. She was indescribably cute.

Sheila Zinc was multi-talented. She excelled at drawing and she was also very good at playing the violin. Every time there was a performance in school, William Scott would be mesmerized by her violin performance.

After so many years, William Scott no longer had that kind of feelings. However, now that the thought about seeing her had appeared, he could not help but feel anticipation.

“I contacted her. She should be here any minute,” a woman chimed in.

Ronan Toft smiled and said, “Then let’s wait for our class belle here. It’s rare for her to return.”

“I just heard two days ago that Sheila Zinc won another award. It’s an international award. She’s very famous now.”

“It’s rare for her to attend our class reunion when she’s already so incredible.”

William Scott couldn’t help but look forward to it even more. Although he had always believed that Sheila Zinc would achieve success, it sounded as though she was doing better than he had imagined.

“You’ve reached,” said a waitress. A girl in a pale green dress appeared.

“Sheila Zinc!” The two girls cheered and immediately ran up to her.

Although the others stood there without moving and still maintained their composure, their eyes were clearly filled with eagerness.

“Old classmates, long time no see. I really miss you guys.” Sheila Zinc followed the two female classmates. She revealed a sweet smile and waved at everyone.

Sheila Zinc seemed to be taller than when she was in high school. The youthfulness had vanished, and there was an additional noble and elegant temperament emitted. However, she still had that trademark smile along with her arched eyebrows on her face when she spoke. Her voice was still so pleasant, and her tone was so gentle.

This time, everyone immediately surrounded Sheila Zinc and spoke at once. It was a lively scene.

William Scott couldn’t go closer, so he stood outside the crowd and looked at Sheila Zinc with a faint smile.

Sheila Zinc handled the situation appropriately. After greeting the people around her, she looked at William Scott. She was stunned for a moment before her face revealed surprise and delight. “William Scott!”

William Scott smiled and said, “Sheila Zinc, long time no see.”

At this moment, Sheila Zinc actually separated from the crowd and took two steps to stand in front of William Scott. She sized him up, and her eyes revealed a different kind of excitement. “Why did you disappear for so many years? No one was able to be in contact with you.”

William Scott was a little surprised. When Sheila Zinc greeted everyone just now, she basically only said one sentence to everyone. Now, she actually wanted to chat with him. “I’ve been in the army and haven’t been home much.”

Sheila Zinc sniffed and said, “I know all about being a soldier. But when you came back, you still didn’t contact everyone. This is your fault.”

“It’s my fault. That’s why I immediately ran over when I heard that there was a class reunion.”

At this moment, Hayley Lands came over and said, “Sheila, the current William Scott is not the past boy he was.”

“Oh? What’s wrong?” Sheila Zinc’s eyes lit up with an inexplicable anticipation.

“He…” Hayley Lands shook her head and pursed her lips. “He’s actually a mover right now. Ronan Toft just said that he’ll let William Scott work in his company so that he won’t embarrass all of us.”

As expected, Sheila Zinc frowned and looked at William Scott.

William Scott shrugged, still not defending himself.

At this moment, Sheila Zinc expounded, “There’s nothing bad about being a mover. Everything you do is a job. There are all kinds of jobs, and every field needs someone to do it. There’s no status difference in occupations.”

Sheila Zinc actually had the intention to defend William Scott. Moreover, it was not a hypocritical expression, but a sincere one. Moreover, there was a hint of pity in her eyes.

At this moment, everyone was all feeling a little uncomfortable. If Sheila Zinc chatted with Ronan Toft like this, everyone would definitely feel that it was very normal. After all, they were all relatively outstanding people. Even if she chatted with anyone else, it still seemed acceptable. However, Sheila Zinc actually chatted endlessly with William Scott, who ended up as the worst in the class. That seemed to make everyone unhappy.

Ronan Toft coughed lightly and said, “Sheila, it’s hot outside. Let’s go in and talk. It’s cooler inside. I heard that you won another award some time ago. Everyone wants to congratulate you.”

Sheila Zinc finally turned to look at Ronan Toft and said with a smile, “There’s nothing to celebrate. We’re all ex-classmates. I feel very comfortable chatting together. As for the rest, there’s no need to care.”
