Love Contract

Chapter 142 It's Really Her (Part Two)

Ding!

The elevator reached the 32nd floor and William walked out expressionlessly.

"Mr. Lan..." As soon as Andy saw him, she leaned over and said coquettishly, "Mr. Lan, you haven't been to my place for several days!"

"Miss me?" A wicked and attractive smile appeared on William's face as he put his arms around her waist.

"Yes, I miss you so much!" Andy leaned over to kiss him.

However, William suddenly turned his head away and pushed her gently. "I'm not in the mood. Let's go to work."

"Fine," replied Andy with resentment. She did not go back to her desk until William had entered his office.

In the past four years, she had succeeded on becoming one of the women around William. From becoming his secretary, she was able to enter the highest floor of the AJ Group successfully.

But... Andy glared at the empty desk across the room.

It had once belonged to Mary and had remained untouched since then. Moreover, William took an extra care for it was also cleaned by special people everyday.

William had never kissed her, nor did he kiss any other woman.

Was he still thinking about the woman whose name was Mary?

Knock! Knock!

While William was concentrating on his work, he heard a knock on the door suddenly. "Come in."

"Mr. Lan!" Like a gust of wind, Beth entered into the office. With tearful eyes, she sat on William's lap and stared at him. "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine." William shook his head.

"That's good. Virgil didn't allow me to enter your apartment!" Aggrieved, Beth added, "I just care about you!"

"I know you care about me." William touched her face playfully.

"Mr. Lan," Beth called him shyly and added, "it's all that woman's fault yesterday. I didn't know where she came from. You passed out because of her." That woman? Who?!

The scene yesterday flashed in his mind. He pulled Beth up and put his hands on her shoulders. He was so furious he looked like an angry lion. "What did you just say?! What are you talking about? What woman? What happened yesterday?!"

"It's the woman who was in the elevator yesterday. I didn't know what she was doing on her phone!" Beth asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Did I go after her but she ran away? Answer me?! " William gripped Beth's arms so tight they could almost break.

"Yes... Yes!" Beth answered timidly.

"Mary!"

All of a sudden, William sat up. His eyes were full of disbelief and shock. Even his whole body trembled slightly.

'It was not a dream! It was not an illusion! Mary is back! Mary!'

He looked so excited as if he finally saw an oasis in the middle of the desert after walking for days. His eyes turned red and he wanted to cry.

He shove Beth away and rushed out of the office with long strides. "Mr. Lan!" Beth called out in a hurry, but she did not see him stop.

She frowned slightly. Her intuition made her feel that there was something wrong with the woman yesterday. A deep sense of crisis arose spontaneously.

"Mary... Mary!"

There was only one thought in his mind, and that was to find Mary as soon as possible!

He rushed downstairs and drove to Sofia International Hotel.

He had missed this person for four years. Every night, he would dream of her beautiful face and finally, he saw her again. He wanted to hold her tight in his arms and never let go.

He finally reached the hotel. With a loud bang, he closed the door of his car and walked fast to the hotel.

"Welcome to Sofia International Hotel."

"Where is Mary? Which room is she staying? Answer me quick!" William rushed to the front desk and asked questions one after another, leaving no chance for the receptionist to speak.

"Mr... Mr. Lan?" The receptionist asked in confusion, "May I ask Mary's whole name?"

"Mary Lu!" William tried to suppress his excitement in his heart. "Do you have a guest named Mary Lu?"

"Well," the receptionist answered, "Mr. Lan, could you wait for a moment? I will just check it for you."

"Okay." William nodded. He was so nervous his fists were clenched tightly.

"Sorry, Mr. Lan." The receptionist had just finished checking the guest list but she did not find Mary. "There is no guest named Mary Lu."

"What? Perhaps you did not check well." William frowned and reached out to grab the guest list in the receptionist's hands. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

"Mr. Lan..."

"It's impossible. Unbelievable..." His slender fingers turned the pages of the guest list one by one. He scanned the pages fast but carefully. He felt more confused by the minute. "Why doesn't it have her name?"

Meanwhile, on the 25th floor of the Sofia International Hotel, the heroine of the film "Be Together" was being selected.

Mary looked at the girls one by one. She neither liked the actresses with zero experience nor the professional ones who had already won awards.

"What do you think? Do you prefer Beth?" Director Jamie whispered to Mary.

"Beth..." Mary's heart sank when she remembered what had happened yesterday. She felt disgusted with Beth. That kind of person would only lower the quality of her movie.

"How many are still there?" asked Director Jamie to the staff beside him.

"There are still a dozen more."

"Okay."

Mary frowned.

"Hello, everyone." Suddenly, Mary heard a clear female voice on the stage. Upon hearing that, she immediately looked up and felt her eyes light up.

The girl was wearing white canvas shoes, blue jeans, a refreshing T-shirt, a cute bag on her back, and her hair was tied in a high ponytail. She looked like a college student.

"My name is Ena. I am..." The girl looked down at her number plate and added, "I'm number 137."

The girl looked at the judges off the stage with her big watery eyes. She had a pointed nose that accented her cheekbones. Although she was not wearing any makeup, her natural beauty was noticeable. She radiated youthful air and it made Mary feel as if she was seeing her younger self.

"I... I just came from the family education center. I'm sorry." Ena was a little breathless and her forehead was beaded with sweat. "I'm 22 years old and I just graduated from college. I majored in theater performance, but I want to be a film actress."

"Alright. You can perform any part of a movie or TV series that you're most comfortable with," said Director Jamie.

"Okay." Ena nodded. "My idol is Victor, so I want to perform a scene in the Past of Republic of China. This was played by Victor before he obtained his award."

Mary just raised her eyebrows and said nothing.

"Okay." Director Jamie nodded.

Ena was obviously a little nervous while performing on stage.

However, this did not affect Mary's decision in mind. What she needed was a pure girl and here she was.

"Vivian, what do you think?" While looking at Ena, Director Jamie said to Mary, "I think this girl is promising. Unfortunately, she has no experience and she was so nervous."

"I think she's great." Mary smiled thoughtfully. "I think she'll do better if she acts with her idol."

"You mean..." Director Jamie looked at Mary in astonishment. "The hero of this movie is Victor?"

"Yes." Mary nodded. "But Victor has been out of the industry for almost 5 years," said Director Jamie as he shook his head.

"I suppose," said Mary as her eyes wandered far away, "if I go talk to him, he'll agree. Won't he?"

"Well..." Hearing Mary's words, Director Jamie's mouth fell wide open. He could not help but wonder who the woman was in front of him. The more he looked at her, the more familiar she seemed...

And with that, Ena's performance on the stage ended.

"Thank you everyone for watching!" Ena bowed and smiled widely, revealing two cute dimples on her cheeks.

"If you are selected, we will inform you after three days, Ena," said Mary.

"Thank you." Ena asked, "Then... can I go now?"

"Yes." Mary smiled and nodded.

Ena bowed again before leaving. Her high ponytail bounced with every step.

"Director Jame, I think Ena is great. I'd like to choose her for the role. What do you think?" said Mary.

"Well, her temperament fits the movie perfectly." Director Jamie nodded in agreement but he added, "But this movie needs to cooperate with AJ Group, and its CEO chose Beth. This..."

CEO...

Upon hearing that word, an unknown emotion flashed in her eyes. She raised her head and said firmly, "GM Universing Studios chose to cooperate with them because they want to enter the domestic market. We can make an excellent movie with our own capabilities and connections.

Besides, this is my own movie. It's up to me who will be chosen. Director Jamie, don't worry about the actors and actresses. Just focus on your work."

"Alright then." Director Jamie nodded with a look of admiration in his eyes.

Ring! Ring!

"I'm sorry, Director Jamie. I have to answer this call."

"Okay."

"Hello?" Mary quietly walked aside.

"Manager Lu, the invitations are ready," said the assistant Jill on the other end of the call.

"Okay." Mary nodded and added, "Send me the schedule."

"Yes, manager."
