Love Contract

Chapter 237 Find Her (Part Two)

Lucas blushed and stammered, "You! Why do you ask so many questions?" NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

"I just want to see if you are on the same level," answered William with a sardonic smile. The answer was self-evident.

"Yes, we are. Okay?"

"Okay." William nodded with satisfaction.

"Forget it. I have an operation this afternoon. I have to go to the hospital." After taking one last look at the portrait, Lucas turned around and left.

"Then I won't see off Dr. Murong who is kind and heroic. I'll keep the portrait for you."

"Screw you! Don't forget to send the information about her as soon as possible!" Lucas's voice echoed in the office and finally disappeared.

Hearing that, William shook his head with a smile. Seeing that Lucas had already left, he frowned slightly.

Last night, there was a woman who was injured on a crowded street. A City was not peaceful anymore! In the building of GM Universing Studios.

Mary felt a little weird as soon as she entered.

"Good morning, Manager Lu!"

"Morning." Mary greeted the employee with a smile.

"Mary!"

"Hi."

Mary passed through the hall, about to walk to the elevator.

"Yes, it's her."

"Ah, what a pity."

"Mr. Gu doesn't look like that kind of person! Why did he get involved with Selah?"

The last second before she got in the elevator, Mary finally heard the most important information.

It turned out that they were talking about the gossip recently. It was hard to say whether it was a scandal or not. Selah was nice, but she already had a son. Barry, alas...

Ding!

The elevator arrived at the top floor shortly. As soon as the door opened, Mary saw Barry and Selah standing side by side in front of the elevator.

"Manager Lu." Selah greeted her first, who looked flustered.

"Hi, Selah." Mary smiled and walked out of the elevator. She then turned to greet Barry. "Hello, Mr. Gu."

"Hi." Barry nodded and walked into the elevator expressionlessly.

"Well, Manager Lu, we are leaving now," said Selah.

"Bye." Mary smiled at her. She did not dare look at Barry until the elevator door had closed.

"Mary, are you okay?" Her assistant, Jill, walked up to her and noticed that Mary looked a bit pale. "Mr. Gu and Selah are just going out for an interview. Please don't take it to heart, Mary," she said with concern.

"Yes. Of course I'm fine." Mary hurriedly explained, "I'm just a good friend of Barry. I really hope that he could find his Miss Right as soon as possible."

"But-"

"All right," said Mary with a smile. "Let's go to work." With that, she turned around and left.

Puzzled, Jill scratched her head and thought, 'I can't get involved in my boss's affairs. I'd better go to work.' In the elevator, the atmosphere was a little stiff.

"You," Selah bit her lips and asked Barry, "You don't want to clarify the scandal. Is it because of Manager Lu?"

Barry glanced at her but said nothing.

"Why did you greet her so coldly when you saw her just now? That day at the seaside—"

"You talk too much." Hearing Barry's words, Selah covered her mouth immediately.

"You can't be friends with someone you like," Barry said slowly after calming down. "Because no matter how many times you look at her, you still like her." Unless he did not love her anymore. Right now, he couldn't face Mary calmly.

Selah took a deep breath and said nothing more.

"By the way," Barry suddenly asked, "how is your son? What kind of illness does he have?"

"His eyes are not good." Selah decided to tell everything to Barry. She figured that it was not good for her to hide anything from him.

"Eyes? Is it serious?"

"His eyesight is poor so he needs his corneas replaced." When Selah told him that, she felt breathless. It was overwhelming and too much for her. "How could it be?" Barry was shocked. "Your son is still young, right?"

"Over six years old. His eyes have had problems since he was born because of alcohol."

Barry frowned. In this case, it happened because the father of the child was drunk at that time and it led her to have a child with disability.

"Haven't you thought about finding that man?" Barry asked. "After all, he is the father of your child."

"It has been so many years. Who will even remember that night? Besides, so what if I found him?" Selah smiled bitterly at the thought. "What if he's married? I could never destroy other people's family. Besides, I don't even have feelings for that person. Ray is my son only. I can take care of him on my own."

Barry looked at Selah, whose face glowed with determination and maternal nature. He had seen such an expression on Mary's face before.

"Have you found the suitable corneas for him?" Barry asked.

"Not yet." Selah shook her head and sighed.

"I see," replied Barry. "Work hard and listen to Jaime. Leave your son to Felicia's care. I'll ask her to find suitable corneas as soon as possible.

"Thank you, Mr. Gu!" Selah was moved by his words. She thanked him solemnly.

Barry did not say anything more. He thought that it was just a compensation to her.

The two of them got off the elevator, met with Jaime and Felicia who were waiting in the hall. Together, they went to the periodical office.

"I'll tell you today's schedule," said Jaime in the car. "Go to the periodical office first. In the afternoon..."

Ring! Ring! Ring!

At noon, William's cell phone on his desk suddenly rang. He picked it up and his expression suddenly changed when he saw the caller ID. Overjoyed, he raised his eyebrows and said to the person at the other end of the line, "Mary, why are you calling? Do you miss me? I miss you too."

"William," Mary rubbed her eyebrows and answered, "we're downstairs."

"What? What did you say?" Although William did not understand what she meant at first, he leaped from his chair and ran to the window. He indistinctly saw a tall figure, together with two smaller ones, downstairs. He shouted excitedly, "You came to my company? With Alick and Elissa? Wow!"

"Yes. They didn't see you this morning so when they heard that you were back, they said they wanted to come to you," answered Mary. "So I brought them here."

"Wait for me! I'll pick you up right now."

"No, you don't—"

Beep. Beep. Beep.

Before Mary could finish her words, William had already hung up the phone.

"What did Dad say?" Elissa raised her head and asked.

"He said he would come downstairs to pick us up." Mary shrugged and put her phone back to her pocket.

"Yeah! Great!"

"Is this place where Dad works?" asked Alick curiously.

"Yes, it is." Mary nodded and held their hands. "Let's go inside first."

With a bright smile on his face, William rushed out of the building, totally ignoring the employees who greeted him on the way.

"What's wrong with Mr. Lan?"

"I don't know! Is there any big good news in the company?"

"Probably." "Let's wait and see where Mr. Lan is going."

The employees in the hall whispered to each other. They craned their necks and looked out curiously.

William ran outside happily, took two children from a woman, and walked into the company while talking and laughing.

The woman handed a lunch box to William. It seemed that she did not want to come in. However, William begged her so hard that the woman walked inside reluctantly.

"Who is this woman? Is she Mr. Lan's new girlfriend?"

"Are those two kids Mr. Lan's children?"

"Oh my God! Isn't that the former wife of the CEO?" An old employee of the company added, "She has been away for several years. When did she come back?"

Hearing this, employees in the hall gossiped together to satisfy their curiosity.

"Look! The little boy in the CEO's arms looks exactly like Mr. Lan!"

"They must be Mr. Lan's children."

"Twins?"

Mary, who followed William closely, felt very uncomfortable to feel the employees' gazes. "Dad, what are these uncles and aunts looking at?" asked Elissa, who was nestled in William's arms.

"Maybe it's because Elissa is cute." William rubbed her nose lovingly.

"Dad, Mommy brought you lunch. She cooked your favorite chicken wings!"

"How wonderful!" William asked with a smile, "Have you and your sister eaten?"

"Oh my God! I heard them call him Dad. They are really Mr. Lan's children!"

"Breaking news..."

"Wait! Wait! I have to go back and publicize it first!"

"I'll also go to our department to gossip."

Mary's mind was in a mess when she heard the discussions around her.

"William, are you free this afternoon?"

"Yes, I am," answered William in a hurry. "What do you want me to do, Mary?"

" I just want you to watch over the two kids. I have to go to the company later but the kids are insisting on staying with you. Take care of them. Just ask the nanny to take them back when you need to work." "Go to the company again? Why?" When William spoke, his tone was sour and a hint of jealousy was evident. "Mary, don't go to work. Can't you just stay at home and take care of our children?"

"No way!" Mary shook her head firmly. "A woman should have her own career. She can't rely on her man all the time!"

"Then... then come to my company and be my assistant as before."

"I'm fine working at GM now. Why should I come back?" Mary raised her eyebrow and added, "Besides, you have so many beautiful assistants. It's not convenient for me to join them!"

"I knew it!" Elissa suddenly continued their topic. "Dad has many beautiful aunts around him, right?"

"I...” Embarrassed but unable to lose his temper, William said, "There is no beautiful aunt, Elissa. I only have your mommy by my side, understand?"

"Okay!"

"Good girl! That's my good girl!"
