Love Contract

Chapter 140 Such A Reunion (Part Two)

"Oh, you're both so cute!" Hester praised.

"Thank you," said Mary with a modest smile. She then turned to the two kids. "This is Aunt Hester. She's going to live with us from now on, so you should call her Aunt Hester."

"Hello, Aunt Hester!"

"Nice to meet you, Aunt Hester!"

Both of them shouted cheerfully.

"Hi, kids!" Hester smiled from ear to ear.

"Hester, have you eaten yet?" Mary pointed at the table. "If you haven't had breakfast, you can eat with the kids."

"I have, madam."

"Then..." Mary looked at her watch. "Hester, please look after the kids. I need to go somewhere. I don't know if I can make it back before noon, so please prepare lunch for them."

"That won't be a problem." Hester put a hand on her own chest. "Don't worry, madam. I'll take care of them well."

"That sounds reassuring, thank you, Hester." Mary bent over and hugged her kids. "Mommy has to go to work now. You should listen to Aunt Hester, and don't make any trouble for her, okay?"

"Mommy, when will you be back?" asked Alick.

"I don't know," Mary shook her head. She wasn't sure how many people were participating in the event. "I will come back as soon as possible, I promise."

"Then Mommy, you need to take us out to play when you come back!"

"No problem." Mary smiled, "Come and have breakfast with Aunt Hester. I'll need to go upstairs."

Mary hurried upstairs and put on a beige dress and a pair of high heels. She untied her hair. Her hair was bright and black, and the curled ends of her hair resembled the gentle waves of the ocean.

She grabbed her bag and stood in front of the mirror downstairs. She stared at herself for a good minute with a pleasant smile on her face.

Then she went to the kitchen and kissed her two kids. "Mommy's leaving now!"

"Bye, Mommy!"

"Mommy, come back early, okay?"

"Okay." Mary stared at her kids one more time before leaving the house.

She was absolutely relieved to find the person Barry hired. With Hester looking after the kids, she could go to work without having to worry about them.

Mary walked out of the villa and immediately hailed a cab.

After four years of absence, countless roads in A City had been renewed. If she had driven by herself, she might not make it to her destination. It would be best if she took the taxi first.

"Take me to Sofia International Hotel."

"Okay!"

It was almost half past ten when Mary arrived.

Fortunately, she didn't drive by herself. She might have gotten lost because the roads had gotten confusing.

Mary glanced at the towering hotel before hurrying inside.

"Squeak!"

She had just entered the hotel when another car drove up behind her, a black Maserati slowly parked in front of the hotel.

A cold but handsome man stepped out of the car with a phone in his hand. Every move he made displayed his draconian control of everything.

That man was the CEO of AJ Group, William.

"Director Jamie, has Beth arrived?" William slowly paced towards the hotel.

"She's already here."

"Just give her the role of the heroine. I've already read the script. She is more than suitable for this role." William's face was stern and unrelenting. Regardless of his ambiguous relationship with Beth, he knew that Beth was truly perfect for this role.

"I also think she's excellent," said Director Jamie. "But the scriptwriter of this movie wants to choose the heroine herself."

"Choose the heroine herself?" William snorted coldly, "This is her debut film. What kind of person would she even pick? No one is more suitable for this than Beth."

"By the way, the scriptwriter will be here soon. Mr. Lan, would you like to come to the selection to have a look?"

"No, thanks." William refused. "Director Jamie, it's all up to you."

"Alright, alright."

"Good." William stepped into the elevator and sent a text message to Beth. "After the selection, go to the bar on the twentieth floor and find me."

"OK, I'll be right there."

She replied right away. After reading it, William smiled sardonically, and put the phone into his pocket.

Mary came to the twenty-fifth floor and walked to the door of the hall. She saw a girl standing beside Director Jamie from a distance.

The girl wore a floral dress, she had straight black hair hanging over her shoulders, a small face, a beautiful nose, and an innocent gaze.

She was beautiful.

'She must be one of the candidates for the heroine since she seems to have a good rapport with Director Jamie,' Mary muttered to herself.

But...

Mary looked at her carefully and felt that something was missing from her.

The girl waved at Director Jamie and said farewell.

Mary glanced at the girl and walked past her.

"Hello, Director Jamie. I'm Vivian." She approached Director Jamie and introduced herself. "Sorry, I'm late." "Hello, it's alright!" Director Jamie felt like he had seen the person in front of him before. He said, "I didn't expect you to be so young, Vivian.

"Thank you." Mary smiled. "You look quite young yourself, Director Jamie."

"Ha ha..."

After they exchanged pleasantries, Mary changed the topic. "Who was that girl you were talking to a few moments ago?"

"Oh, that was Beth. She's known as the 'pure little queen'. Vivian you were abroad, so you probably haven't heard of her before."

"I see." Mary nodded.

"I think she's suited to be the heroine," said Director Jamie. "What do you think?"

"Well..." Mary thought for a while and asked, "Is there anyone else who stands out?"

"There are too many people auditioning for this role. I haven't found anyone better than her yet." Director Jamie shrugged. "There will be another one tomorrow."

"Okay." Mary nodded, "Then let's wait."

"Sure." Director Jamie glanced at Mary.

Be Together was written by Mary. She wanted to turn it into a movie, but she had no experience directing or producing a film, so she had to find a well-known director from China to help her. The heroine in the play must be pure, and the hero...

Mary bit her lip, she knew that she had already found the most suitable candidate for the hero.

She wondered how he was doing. It had been four years since they last saw each other after all.

One morning passed. Sitting on the judges' table, Mary shook her head. She hadn't found anyone suitable yet.

"What do you think?"

"It still doesn't feel right." Mary shook her head and sighed. "Let's see what happens tomorrow."

"Okay." Director Jamie clapped his hands a couple of times. "That's all for today. Vivian, how about I treat you to dinner?"

"Oh, Director Jamie, I'm afraid I can't go today." Mary refused. "My children are still waiting for me at home. I'll invite you to dinner another day, instead?"

"Vivian, you already have children at such a young age?" Director Jamie was taken aback.

"I'm not young anymore," chuckled Mary. "I'm already thirty years old." NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

"Thirty? I don't see it at all!" Director Jamie was astonished. "You look like you're in your early twenties."

"You flatter me too much," said Mary. "I guess I'll see you tomorrow then."

"Yes, of course." Director Jamie nodded and watched her walk away. She looked quite familiar. He kept thinking where he had seen her before.

Mary stepped into the elevator. She was the only one inside.

Then the elevator stopped on the twentieth floor.

As soon as the elevator door opened, a strong smell of alcohol wafted through her nose, followed by two wobbling people, one man and one woman.

She turned her head away in disgust.

"Mr...." the woman called out coquettishly. Her little hand was grazing on the lower part of the man's body.

The man leaned against the elevator wall and stammered, "You know... You know what to do."

"Buzz, buzz, buzz..."

At this moment, the phone in her bag rang. Mary quickly took it out and found that the reception in the elevator was terrible.

In the elevator, the woman's eyes screamed seduction. She bent down and stripped the man of his belt.

As she was looking for a signal, Mary accidentally turned her head at their direction. What she saw was a disgusting and promiscuous scene.

They were in the elevator, for God's sake!!!

When did women in China become so liberated?

Wait! Mary took a closer look at the woman. It was Beth! The so-called 'pure little queen' of the film industry.

''Ring... "

Another ring came. Hearing this, Mary came to her senses and was about to answer the phone.

"What are you doing? Excuse me! How dare you? Are you recording this?" The man grunted at her and slapped her phone away.

The phone was crashed against the wall and dropped to the ground.

Anger filled Mary's heart. She picked up her phone and shouted at the man, "Are you fucking insane? What do you think you're doing? You..."

Before she could finish her words, Mary's eyes widened and she froze.

Who was this man before her? Was it William? It was him!

The man raised his head, his eyes met with the woman in front of him. His ferocity turned to disbelief. He was so shocked that his legs trembled, and he couldn't move a muscle. ''Mary?'1
