Love Contract

Chapter 144 You Are The Best (Part Two)

William's eyebrows went up as he asked, "Who did he say he gave it to?"

"I don't know," Beth continued to pout. "He said it was a little girl from the selection and that the scriptwriter chose her. Mr. Lan, you promised me..."

The elevator doors opened outside, and Mary and Jill walked out.

"Hello," Jane said, standing up to greet them. "Are you Vivian, representative of GM Universing Studios?"

"Yes, I am," Mary said smiling. She took off her sunglasses and spoke again, "Hello, Jane."

"Hmm?" Jane looked at the person in front of her and did a double take, her eyes widening. She was stunned for a long time before she came to her senses. "Oh my God! Mary?"

"Jane," Mary said, opening her arms.

"Mary!" Jane said again, throwing herself into Mary's arms and crying over and over again, "Oh my God! Am I dreaming? Are you really Mary?" "It's me. It is me,"

Mary said, getting emotional. "I didn't expect you to still be here."

Jill was standing to the side, wondering what was going on.

"What's wrong?" The door of the CEO's office opened, William and Beth emerging from the room, arm in arm.

Jane hurriedly separated from Mary, trying to control her tears, but unable to speak.

Mary turned around and saw the two people at the door of the office. She frowned.

William glanced casually around, his eyes coming to rest on Mary. They widened in shock and he gasped, "Mary?"

"Mr. Lan. Long time, no see," Mary said, smiling professionally. She took a few steps forward, hand outstretched.

"I... I'm not dreaming, right?" William said, staring unblinkingly at the people before him.

"Mr. Lan? What are you talking about?" Beth said to William, shaking his arm to reclaim his attention.

She didn't like the way William was looking at the woman before them.

William was stunned. He suddenly pushed Beth away and rushed to Mary, explaining awkwardly, "Mary, it's not what you think!" "I... I..." he continued to stutter. "Mr. Lan," Mary said, looking almost amused, but her smile didn't waver. "I'm here today to hand you an invitation."

"Mary..." William was choked with sobs. It looked like he didn't hear a word of what she was saying. He muttered, "More than four years have passed. Where have you been? Do you know I have been looking for you all this while?"

He then made to hug her. But Mary took a step back, frowning.

Mary pulled out the invitation and said, "I'm Vivian, representative of the GM Universing Studios. I hope you can attend the party that our company is hosting."

"Vivian?" Beth's voice sounded excited. She hurriedly made her way over to them. "Are you the scriptwriter of 'Be Together'?" she asked Mary.

"Yes, I am."

"Why didn't you choose me as the female lead?" Beth asked angrily and arrogantly. "Mr. Lan said he wanted me to be the heroine."

"I can choose whoever I want in my movie. Mr. Lan's opinion is just a suggestion," Mary said coldly. Did this woman think she would cave in if she mentioned William?

Beth suddenly seemed to realize something and said, "Are you the woman from the elevator that day?" "I'm sorry to have interrupted you that day," Mary said firmly. She was neither humble nor pushy.

"Mary..." William started but didn't know what else to say. She had really seen what had happened that day. He wanted to die. "I'm not...

"Mr. Lan!" Beth screeched. "This bitch has ruined things. Why are you still cooperating with her?" She looked coquettishly up at him and said in a wheedling tone, "Please don't shoot a movie with her, okay?"

Bitch? Who the hell did this woman think she was?

Mary looked at the two of them, ice dripping from her gaze, then turned and handed the invitation to Jane and said, "Mr. Lan, I'm leaving now. I hope you can be there on time. Jill, let's go."

Jill merely nodded and said, "Okay."

"Mary!" William called desperately, looking like he was about to chase after Mary.

"Mr. Lan!" Beth said, exasperated, as she held on to William's hand.

"Fuck off!" William said angrily, shaking Beth off. He turned and slapped her and said fiercely, "She is my wife. If you say anything to her again, I will ruin your career!" When Mary, who was standing at the door of the elevator, heard this, her body stiffened.

The elevator finally arrived and she ran into the elevator.

"Mary!" William ran forward and just as the doors of the elevator were about to close, reached out and jammed a hand in between.

The elevator doors opened again. William pulled Jill out from beside Mary, a look of cold indignation on his face.

"What are you doing ?" Jill shouted.

"What do you want?" Mary said, returning William's cold gaze. She made to walk out of the elevator.

William's face hardened. He reached out and stopped Mary with one hand while pressing the button with the other.

The elevator closed and went trundling down.

Jill and Jane looked at each other. Beth was on the floor beside the sofa, covering her face which was flaming in embarrassment.

That woman was William's wife? ! She had never heard of her!

"Mary..."

William looked excitedly at the person before him. It was true that Mary was standing in front of him!

Mary clenched her teeth, turning away from him and jabbing the button, hoping it would reach the ground floor soon.

"Mary..." William said again, softly this time, and reached out a trembling hand to touch Mary's face.

"Don't touch me with your dirty hand!" Mary barked, shaking his hand off.

William stopped, clenching his fists, and letting them fall away. His eyes were pained and filled with self-reproach.

"Mr. Lan, let bygones be bygones. We have nothing to do with each other anymore. I hope that when we meet again, you will pretend not to know me," Mary said.

"No," William said, shaking his head. "I don't want to be strangers with you. I don't want to have nothing to do with you, Mary. I've been looking for you for four years!" NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

"Why were you looking for me?" Mary frowned.

"I wanted to apologize to you..."

"No need," Mary interrupted him. "I've forgotten it all."

"I'm sorry. I didn't know your mother passed away. I wouldn't have locked you up if I had known that. Really. Please..." William begged for forgiveness like a child who had done something wrong.

Mother!

The thought of her mother sent pain shooting through her heart. But she blinked it away and said, "I accept your apology."

"Really ?" William looked up disbelievingly, surprise glinting in his eyes.

"Yes. I accept your apology. We are even now," Mary said firmly.

The elevator dinged.

The doors opened slowly and Mary made to exit it as she called out,

"Goodbye!" "No, don't go!"

William said, suddenly pulling her into the elevator and pushing her against the wall as he hugged her.

Mary was stunned. It took a while for her to react and she punched him on the back as she screamed, "Let me go! Let me go, you bastard!" She continued to struggle against him.

Mary was so angry, she raised a foot and stomped on William's leather shoes.

William groaned in pain but refused to let her go. 'Four years have passed! I'll never let you go again, Mary!' William thought fiercely.

It was as if William was trying to pour out all his thoughts of the past four years by hugging her.

Andy made her way to the elevator, her heels clacking on the tiled floor.

She looked up just in time to see the appalling scene in the elevator. Her eyes widened.

Was Mr. Lan kissing that woman? !

Mary was still struggling. "Let go of me!" she cried out over and over again. She was almost out of breath because of the kiss. But she had had enough. She bit down hard on his lip, her nostrils suddenly filling with the smell of blood.

William hissed in pain, letting go of her and wiping the corner of his mouth. It was bleeding.

"You're such an entitled bastard!"

Mary screamed, raised her hand, and slapped him around the face.
