Love Contract

Chapter 59 Some Senior Leader

"What do I mean?" Summer widened her eyes on purpose and asked innocently, "So you don't know?"

Victor narrowed his eyes. He knew one thing. Summer and a senior manager in the company were as thick as thieves, and more. Since she brought it up, she must have heard something from him. "No. What are you talking about?"

"Alright," said Summer with a smile. She sat next to him. "After all, it's not a good thing to be forced out... No wonder you don't know."

"Forced out?" asked Victor.

"Have you seen the papers? It's all about the past, but it's on the news now," said Summer, pointing at the newspaper with her long, painted nails. "It must be the doing of some senior leader. I'm pretty sure, Victor. They also ordered the Public Relations Department not to interfere.

"Some senior leader..." Victor repeated these words.

"You have no one to blame but yourself." Summer shook her head, a smug smile on her face. "Looks like you ticked off the wrong people..." she said. "Okay. You seem happy about this," said Victor with a sneer. "So what are you thinking? You think you will be the image spokesperson of the company's 15th anniversary celebration instead of me?"

"Victor!" Summer screamed, her face flushed with anger. "Even if it weren't me... You don't get a crack at it, either!"

"Let's wait and see." Victor watched Summer saunter into the next room, a grateful smile on his face. It was fake, of course, designed to anger her even more.

"Humph!" Summer snorted and closed the door.

His smile disappeared immediately after the door was closed. It was replaced by an expression of resentment.

'William, since you did this, I won't show mercy either. I'll definitely ruin you on the 15th anniversary party. Let's watch a good show!' he thought.

"Oh!" After reaching Floor 32 of AJ Group, Jane walked out of the elevator and cheered, "Thank God it's Friday! Great... Ha ha!"

Mary sat in her seat and raised her eyebrows. "It's seven fifty now. There are still nine hours left before we're done for the day. We're really busy, so hop to it..."

"Ahhh!" Jane jogged over to the desk and said, "Mary, please don't hit me. At least give me a head start!"

"Ha ha." Seeing Jane's worried expression, Mary couldn't help her laughter.

"Ha ha." Jane returned to her seat with an innocent smile.

At eight, the elevator doors opened.

Both Mary and Jane lifted their gazes to look. They saw William and Andy from Public Relations Department walking out of the elevator side by side.

Glancing at Mary, William didn't say a word.

Andy seemed to be snobbish and daring someone to confront her. She looked at Mary and followed William into the office.

"Wow," Jane said as she watched the two. She rolled her chair over by Mary, and asked in a naughty tone, "Didya see that woman? Who was that?"

"Oh, that's a manager in the Public Relations Department. Andy Duan." After that, Mary smiled again. "You're Kevin's assistant, right? And you don't recognize the senior officers of the company?"

"Uh... This place is too big and there are too many people. I really can't remember everyone." Jane sounded like she was about to cry.

Mary smiled secretly. 'It took me more than a year to recognize who the senior managers were back then. Still, it's fun to see her squirm. And when did I know William? Certainly not when I was a greenhorn. Ha ha.'

When Mary racked her brains, she found that in the past three years, she didn't know much about William! If she had known that she would marry him, she would have paid far more attention to him before.

"Mary? Mary?" Jane kept calling Mary's name. "Earth to Mary, what are you thinking about? Did you hear me?"

"What?" Mary came to herself and said awkwardly, "Sorry, I was lost in thought. What did you say?"

"Ha ha," Jane laughed cunningly. "Sounds like you're jealous. Am I right? After all, the handsome boss is walking side by side with another woman. Hee hee..." All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"No way! Will you cut it out? I'm not like that! I'm not jealous of that bitch!" Mary blurted out.

"Mary... That's a different side of you!" Jane covered her mouth in shock.

Mary was a little annoyed. "What?"

"I get it!" Jane ran a hand through her hair. "She doesn't look like a good person, does she? Why did the boss bring her here, anyway?"

"Oh," said Mary. "There's been a personnel change in the Public Relations Department. Some firings, some promotions. Andy survived the cut, and got promoted to general manager. He's probably going to discuss her role in the company."

"Well," Jane nodded. "Hopefully that role remains professional."

"Don't let boss hear that," said Mary to Jane, rubbing her forehead.

"Well." Jane immediately covered her mouth and kept silent.

'Click! Click!'

At this moment, someone opened the door to the CEO's office. Andy walked out with a big smile on her face, followed by William.

Mary and Jane pulled themselves together and stood up out of respect.

Andy sidled up to Mary with a smile. "Hey, the Public Relations Department is throwing a party this weekend. Are you free? We'd love to see you there!"

"I..." Mary rolled her eyes and looked at William.

"Just come. We don't get to see enough of you at work." Andy turned and smiled at William. "Boss, you can come with us also."

"What about me? Can I go?" Jane cut in. Raising her eyebrows, Andy said, "Sure. The more the merrier."

"Come on, Mary," Jane pleaded. "I haven't been to a party since I first got here. Take me with you? Okay? Mary?"

"Don't you want some 'me time' this weekend?" Mary asked quietly.

"It's better for me to play with others. Better than playing with myself."

Mary shot her a look that said "not cool." And she finally gave in. "Ok, I'll be there."

"Awesome! We'll have fun. You'll see... Thank you, Mary!" With excitement written all over her face, Jane grabbed Mary's hand.

"What about the boss?" asked Andy.

When Mary looked up, she found William's gaze resting on her. She was taken aback for a moment.

"No. Have a good time." William opened his mouth and looked away.

"Okay," Andy said. She shrugged her shoulders in resignation, and said, "Then I'm leaving now."

"Okay." William nodded and headed for his office.

"Hey Mary," Jane whispered in her ear, "isn't it hard to be with a man like him?" "Hmm?" Mary turned her face and said, "What do you mean?"

"He's so cold." Jane pouted, "It's almost like he doesn't care about you at all, Mary."

"Yeah," Mary replied but thought of his gentle, smiling face.

'Well, he can be gentle and care about someone. Just not me, ' she thought.

"But..." Jane suddenly said again to Mary with a smile, "You gave him those band-aids, huh?"

"Um, I mean...yeah." Mary nodded.

"Ha ha," said Jane with a grin. "No wonder Boss won't tear them off! Look, my lovely band aids are still hanging off his finger!"

"Oh, come on. He's just too lazy to change them."

Although Mary tried to deny it, she couldn't help looking at William's desk through the window.

He put his left hand on the table, and could see the bandages on his finger. They almost looked like they were flashing.
