Chapter 167 Getting The Bridal Bouquet (Part Two)
While they were having fun, William's phone suddenly rang. A woman with a heavy makeup felt his phone vibrate. It took her a long time to take his phone, only to find out that the phone had already stopped ringing. When she was about to speak, she saw a woman's photo on the screen.
"Oh, Mr. Lan, who is this?" asked the woman. "Who deserves to be put in your phone gallery?"
Hearing that, William suddenly grabbed the phone from her. Seeing Mary's smile on the screen made him calm down. However, he turned around to the woman and said fiercely, "Who allowed you to touch my phone?! Huh?"
"I..." The woman was startled at his response and stammered.
"Fuck off! Get out! All of you!" With a loud bang, William threw the glass he was holding all of a sudden where it broke into tiny fragments.
The room became quiet for nobody dared to speak. With red eyes, William roared, "Get out!"
The group of women looked at each other, held their breath, and quietly retreated.
"Mr. Lan..." "Mary!" William held Beth, who was leaving at the end of the group. He then buried his head on her shoulders and whispered, "Mary..."
"Mr. Lan..."
Without saying anything, William pushed her down on the sofa and murmured, "Mary..."
He stared at Beth, but his eyes were desolate and sad.
"Okay..." Beth snorted.
After a while, William came back to his senses. "Tell me, who are you?" he held her shoulders and asked while gritting his teeth.
"I'm Beth."
"Say it again! Who are you? Who the hell are you?"
"I am..." Beth swallowed hard. She was about to repeat her answer, but a thought occurred to her suddenly. "I'm Mary... Mary Lu."
"Mary..." Hearing that, William was stunned. With a silly smile, he said, "Yes. You're Mary!"

Virgil helped the drunk William get back to his apartment, who kept murmuring the name "Mary".
Virgil shook his head, feeling sad. 'Alas! Love is always difficult.'
When the two had reached the 20th floor, Virgil saw someone waiting at the door of the apartment.
"Mr. Liang?" Virgil opened his mouth slightly.
Frank immediately raised his head and saw drunk William. He hurried forward to help Virgil hold him up. "Why did William drink so much?"
"Well..." Virgil shook his head. "I don't know."
"Where is the key?" Frank reached out his hand and said, "Give me the key. You may go home now."
Virgil was taken aback. He heard that Frank grew up with the CEO, but he did not seem to have any contact with his boss in the past four years. Was there anything wrong?
He was hesitant to hand over the CEO to him.
"What are you waiting for?" Frank frowned.
"But..."
"Frank?" William could not keep his balance so he staggered back and forth. He looked up and opened his mouth. "You... Why are you here?"
"I called you, but you didn't answer," sighed Frank. "So I came to wait for you here."
"Okay... What's up?" "Let's go inside first."
"Hmm. Okay." William nodded in agreement and looked at Virgil in confusion. "You may go home.
"Yes, boss." Virgil did not agree to leave until William had said so. Finally, he nodded, opened the door for them, turned around, and left.
Frank entered the apartment first. He was surprised to see that all the furnishings were the same as they were four years ago.
"What do you want to say?" said William as he fell down on the sofa.
"Nothing." Frank looked at him with deep attachment. "I just wanted to see you, William."
"I... I'm pretty well."
"Then why did you drink so much?" Frank clenched his fists and continued, "Is it still because of Mary Lu? You two have already divorced! There's no use sulking over it."
"What can I do?" William smiled with selfmockery. He had sobered up a bit, and now his eyes were clearer. "I want to forget her."
"Aren't you afraid that I will take revenge on her? Huh?!" Suddenly, Frank's eyes turned fierce. "You know what kind of person I am, William!"
"I will never let you lay a single finger on her," said William seriously. "If she gets in danger... Frank, don't blame me for being unkind."
"Being unkind? What are you talking about?" Frank laughed desperately. "Ha ha! William, I have your words now. I really want to see how you are going to be unkind to me!"
Bang!
Frank abruptly turned around and left, slamming the door behind him with a deafening sound.
William covered his head with his arms in pain. He fell on the sofa shortly after and did not move for a long time.
"Hello? Mommy, why haven't you come back for lunch?" asked Elissa on the phone.
"Elissa," said Mary in an apologetic tone, "I'm afraid I can't go back at noon today. You can have lunch with your brother and Daddy Barry. Don't wait for me!"
"Ah..." Elissa pouted. "Mommy won't come back soon," she said in disappointment to Barry, who was sitting next to her.
Barry took the phone from her and asked Mary, "Are you busy?"
"The morning shots taken earlier were not good. We had to redo them many times so we did not finish on time. Now, we have to work overtime."
"Okay. Don't forget to eat," Barry said with concern. "I know." Mary nodded. "I have to hang up now!" Crack!
Beep! Beep! Beep!
Mary abruptly hung up the phone, leaving Barry stunned.
"Mommy just wants to work," said Alick unhappily. "She has forgotten us."
"That's right," nodded Elissa. "Mommy is home very late too."
Barry nodded in agreement and suddenly suggested, "Then... how about we go and see Mommy together?"
"Is that okay? Wow!" The two kids' eyes lit up in an instant.
"Of course." Barry nodded with a smile. "But don't disturb Mommy' while she's working, okay?"
"Okay!" the two kids said in unison.
"Don't run around the place." Barry continued, "Also I want you to stay with Mommy quietly. Can you do it?"
"Sure!"
"Okay." Barry nodded. "Then let's go see Mommy after lunch." "Yeah! Daddy Barry is awesome!"
"Long live Daddy Barry!"
"Eat quickly!" Barry smiled and asked Hester to pack lunch in the lunchbox for Mary. He was uncertain whether Mary remembered to eat or not.
After eating, the three took the lunch box, held hands, and got into the car happily.
On the filming set of "Be Together".
"Manager Lu, let's have lunch!"
"No, thanks." Waving her hand, Mary said with a smile, "You guys can eat first."
At this time, an erotic scene was being filmed. Victor and Archer acted in the living room. Although they were asked to just kiss and hug, Victor could not do it well.
Victor walked up to Archer and he put his hands on Archer's shoulders. Slowly, he leaned over to kiss him.
As they got closer, Victor suddenly frowned, unable to move forward. Moreover, the smile on his face disappeared. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Mary's palms were sweaty. Was it too difficult for him?
"Victor!" Director Jamie scolded him angrily, "What's happened? We've filmed this scene for over thirty times but we still have not succeeded. Have you forgotten your professionalism after four years? Geez!"
Victor clenched his fists but said nothing.
"Director Jamie!" Mary said, "Don't blame him. I asked him to do this project, and he has shown nothing but respect to me. If you are dissatisfied, just vent on me!"
"Vivian, I didn't mean to scold him intentionally." Director Jamie was so angry that Victor could not get into character. "I have no choice! Look at the previous scenes. Every one of them was filmed smoothly except for this one. We're stuck on this scene and we can't move on!"
"How about finding a substitute?" Mary suggested.
"If I want to take a close shot, what's the substitute going to do?" Director Jamie shook his head and added, "Forget it! Let's just eat first!"
"Lunch is ready!" One of the staff shouted, and everyone went to eat their lunch.
Ena stood aside silently, watching Victor's facial expression. She felt sorry for him but there was nothing she could do. When everyone paused their works to eat, she was about to go to comfort him, but Mary did that first.
While biting her lips, she stopped and watched them at a distance. "I'm sorry," said Mary to Victor guiltily. "I'm really sorry, Victor."
"It's nothing." Victor forced a smile and continued, "It's my fault. I just couldn't do it."
"Victor, it's been a long time," said Mary. "I hope you can come out and forget the shadows of the past."
"How can I?" With a bitter smile on his face, Victor added, "I feel sick at the thought of it. It's not easy to forget it."
"I'm sorry," said Mary firmly, "I will get the video tape back for you. I promise."
Victor looked up at her. "Mary..."
