It didn't take them long to reach Kylin International.
On the 20th floor of Kylin International...
It took a long time for Mary to pick the most refreshing dress, a short, yellow gauze dress.
It was the only gift that William had bought her.
William! She shook her head, trying to remove his name from her mind, and changed into the yellow dress.
The car had barely come to a halt before William dashed out and upstairs, as if he was afraid that something would happen if he was even a little late.
Click!
Mary opened the door and was about to step forward, when she looked up to find William standing there.
Their eyes met and they held each other's gazes for a long time without saying anything.
Mary recovered soon enough and decided to pretend as if she hadn't seen him. She pulled the door shut and made to walk past him. ''Wait!'1
William grabbed her arm.
"Where are you going?" he asked, his voice still serious.
"Out."
"Where are you going?" William asked again, his tone more serious than before as he tightened his grip on Mary's arm.
Mary had put on makeup, her eyes glittering and lips full. Her hair was curly and it fell stunningly on the yellow dress and thin coat that she was wearing. She was really beautiful.
William suddenly became worried. Was she going to see another man?
"It's none of your business," Mary said coldly, struggling to escape from his grip. "Let go of me!"
"You..."
William started but his phone started ringing. He frowned and let go of Mary to get the phone.
"What ?" William barked into the phone.
"Boss," Kevin was startled, but recovered quickly and said, "Mr. Chen is leaving. You'd better get back to the company as soon as possible."
Mary took advantage of William's preoccupation with his phone. She rubbed her arms as she quickly ran to the elevator.
"Okay, I'll be right there." William hung up and turned around, only to find the elevator making its way down.
"Mary!"
William shouted angrily and chased after her.
Mary went downstairs and straight to Jane's car. The car had just turned out of the community when she saw in the rear view mirror that William was now running out of the gate.
Was this scene similar to the one in which he left her that day?
The night in A City had become a little cold. Leaves littered both sides of the road, rolling in the autumn wind.
William had found it difficult to pacify Mr. Chen, and it was past nine o'clock when he returned to Kylin International.
He opened the door to complete darkness. Not even moonlight. William felt uneasy. Hadn't Mary returned yet?
Turning on the light, William pulled out his phone and looked at Mary's contact for a long time, but he didn't call her. Why should he call her? 'Mary, don't come back tonight if you can!'
