Love Contract

Chapter 103 Quit The Show Business

At seven o'clock on the Friday night, the annual "TV Ceremony" was being broadcast by major media.

Mary had just gotten back from the hospital. She turned on the TV and saw reports about it everywhere.

"Now, for the moment we've all been waiting for, " the host was speaking enthusiastically. "Who will be the best actor this year? Who do you think it would be?"

"Victor! Victor! Victor!"

Victor's name was chanted the loudest in the venue with more than ten thousand people.

"I heard your cheers," the host said with a smile. "Now, let's welcome the honored guests to unveil the award for us. Welcome!"

A man and a woman came on the stage and exchanged greetings for a long time before opening the card.

"Now I declare," the male guest said with suspense. "The actor who won the best actor of the year is..."

"Victor!" The female guest finished his sentence. "Congratulations, Victor!"

"Victor! Victor!" The fans began cheering louder and louder.

Although Mary had already known the results beforehand, she was still so happy to watch Victor win the award.

The spotlight suddenly focused on Victor who was sitting under the stage. He was wearing a black tuxedo, with a bright and confident look on his face. He stood up and bowed to the crowd.

"Let's welcome Victor to the stage!" The host announced.

As soon as Victor bounced off his seat, he was followed by the dazzling light all the way to the huge stage of the TV Ceremony.

The award presenter handed the golden trophy to Victor and they greeted and hugged each other.

"Victor, would you care to give us a speech regarding your award?" The host gestured, still smiling at Victor.

"Thank you." Victor stood in front of the microphone.

"First of all, thank you to everyone who kept supporting me. Without you, I wouldn't be who I am today. Thank you!" Victor bowed deeply to the audience, and immediately there was a burst of cheers. "There are a lot of people to thank," Victor confidently said. "Thank you to the director, producers, and all the cast and crew of the Past of Republic of China, whose efforts have brought me such high honors. Thank you for all your hard work, and for giving me such a wonderful opportunity. Thank you.

Tonight, standing on this starry stage, I feel everyone's enthusiasm, and I feel that I've reached the peak of being an actor.

I think I'm satisfied now." Victor smiled one more time, lowered his head and kissed the golden trophy in his hand. "Thank you for putting a perfect end to my acting career!"

As soon as he finished his words, all the people in the hall let out a fleet of inconceivable gasping and whispering.

Mary's eyes widened because of what she had just heard. 'Victor... Are you crazy?'

"Yes," said Victor. "Tonight may be the last time in my life to stand on the stage. I've decided to quit the show business, which may come as a shock to everyone, but for me, it is a wish that has been hidden for a long time. Thank you for all your support."

After saying that, he bowed deeply again and did not stand up for a long time.

"Ha ha..." The host came back to his senses from the shock. He hurriedly mediated and said, "Congratulations again on Victor's award. Let's applaud and congratulate him again!"

There was a faint applause at the party, and everyone seemed like they did not know how to react.

"Please have a rest... Well, next..."

Victor slowly walked down the stage and went to the backstage.

"Victor! Are you out of you mind? What was that! " As soon as he arrived at the backstage, Jorge ran over to him and yelled, "What do you want to do? Do you want to ruin this party or yourself? Answer me!"

"I've already made my decision." Victor didn't seem to care about it, but deep down he was nervous. Was that person watching? Did she know these words were for her?

'You said you don't like celebrities. If I quit, will you start to like me?'

"Let's go. You're coming with me," Jorge said, holding his hand. "The press will block the place soon. Tomorrow... I think you're going to hit the headlines tomorrow and the day after tomorrow!"

"Where are we going?"

"We're going back to the company! Where else could we go? You didn't think this through!"

"I'm waiting for those reporters. There's one more thing I haven't said yet." The look in Victor's eyes suddenly became obscure.

Mary stared blankly at the TV as she watched Victor step down from the stage. She wanted to call him right away.

As soon as she touched the phone, it rang.

''Hello?'1

"Mary." Kevin's voice came through the phone. "Are you watching TV right now? Victor announced that he would quit show business." Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

"Yes, I am."

"What should I do?" Kevin's voice sounded a little anxious. "I can't find Mr. Lan. Mary, do you know where he might be?"

"He... He has something to deal with recently." Mary took a deep breath and said, "You should ask the company to make an announcement first, saying that it was Victor's personal choice to declare his withdrawal from the show business."

"Okay, I know."

"And," said Mary. "Try to contact William again." "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Mary rubbed her eyebrows painfully.

In Tokyo, Japan. In the evening, they finally got the permission to enter the ward to see Nancy.

Nancy's expression looked dull, as if they were irrelevant people. She seldom spoke, and even didn't move her eyes.

"Ring, ring, ring..."

Suddenly, William's phone rang.

"I'm sorry." William apologized and hurried out of the ward.

"Hello?"

"Boss!" Kevin sounded like he had found a relative who had been missing for many years. "You finally answered the phone!"

"What's wrong?" William's voice remained steady and unburdened.

"Something's happened," said Kevin. "Victor suddenly announced that he will quit the show business. This news will probably cause a big stir. In case it causes our stock prices to drop, the transfer of shares..."

"Is Victor going to quit show business? When did he say this?" William's mood immediately changed.

"Yes, he announced it at the 'TV Ceremony' tonight."

"Send an announcement first to declare that this is his personal behavior and has nothing to do with the company." William made an immediate decision. "Let's stabilize the public's emotions first."

"Mary has asked us to do it, and the message has been sent."

Mary...

William felt nervous upon hearing Mary's name. He should feel relieved but instead he was flustered.

'Did Victor's decision have anything to do with her? Was it for her?'

He tightened his grip on the phone because of the overwhelming anxiety and pressure that he felt. "Do as I said first. I'll be back soon."

"Got it."

After hanging up the phone, William was so frustrated that he walked around with one hand on his waist.

"You should probably head back now." A voice suddenly came from behind him. "There's nothing for you to do here."

William turned around as soon as he heard the voice. "Frank."
