Love Contract novel Chapter 108

William grabbed Mary by her shoulders at once to force her to turn around and face him.

Thud!

Mary fell onto the carpeted floor, taking William with her.

William's instincts and quick reflexes had allowed him to make sure that Mary wouldn't be the one impacted by the fall.

The moment their bodies hit the floor, Mary's lips touched William's ever so slightly. Shock immediately engulfed her whole body, and she immediately felt like she couldn't move. Her eyes widened, and all she could do was stare at the man below her.

With the memory of last night still fresh in her head, she couldn't help but feel flustered. Slowly, she felt her cheeks were becoming hotter by the second.

"Let me go!" Mary shouted angrily.

Mary's distress didn't faze William —instead, he seemed to have taken a liking to it. With a wide smile on his face, he tightened his arms around Mary and turned over, effectively putting him on top and pinning her on the ground. "What are you doing! Let me go!" Mary shrieked as she tried to free herself from William's grasp.

"What do you think I'm doing?" William shot back, a meaningful smile on his face. He the leaned his face towards hers, closer and closer, until their noses were once again touching.

"William!" Mary screamed as she turned her face to the side. "William! Stop! If you... If you dare come any closer, I swear I will never let you go!"

"Ha ha!" William chuckled right into Mary's ear.

Mary waited for William's soft lips on her, but it seemed to be taking too long. Cautiously, she opened her eyes to see what was going on.

What she saw confused her: William, who was now snickering, was holding something in his hand. It was the tag of her dress.

Apparently, William just took the tag off of her clothes!

With the realization that she had overreacted, her face turned bright red. "You... you..." she stuttered, unable to complete her sentence.

"Um... Yes, I just removed this for you," said William, dangling the tag right before her eyes. He then raised his eyebrows and said, "What did you think I was doing, huh?"

"I... You... Ugh! Let me go and get up!" Mary became livid due to extreme embarrassment. With all her might she pushed William off of her, sending the man to the ground next to her. She then quickly stood up and turned away from him.

The awkward atmosphere permeated the area. Unable to think of way to alleviate it, she just decided to go back to her room instead.

"Hey! Hey!" William called out. He quickly held Mary's hand to stop her, but she promptly tried shaking it off.

"Don't you dare touch me!" she screamed out.

"Okay, okay! Can you please calm down? I'll let you go, don't worry," William calmly said, but he continued to hold her arm.

"Humph!" With a snort, Mary took off her high heels and threw them aside.

'Damn it!' she thought, fuming. 'I put on those heels to match my dress! But they've caused more trouble than good! I fell down! I would never wear them again!'

With her cherry red cheeks and cute little pout, William felt incredibly attracted by Mary. Somehow he just noticed how prettier she became when she got angry. Why hadn't he noticed this before?

"What's happening to you, Mary? Are you... shy?" William asked. "About what happened last night?"

"William!" Mary turned around and glared at him. "Don't you ever mention what happened last night! And for the record, I am not shy or embarrassed about it! For god's sake we're both adults!"

"You know what? It's great that you think that," William responded, smiling slightly.

"Yes, I know!" Mary continued. "But please, William, don't mention it to anyone else! Not even a word! Otherwise... "

"Otherwise what?"

"Otherwise, I will expose you!" "What? Expose me?"

William got to his feet. "Consider me scared, then. I don't want to cross someone so powerful, so I'll keep my mouth shut. Don't worry about it.

He paused, then moved towards Mary. "Let's keep what happened last night between us!" he whispered to her ear.

And with that, he went to his room.

"What a freak!" Mary said through gritted teeth. She then quickly ran back to her bedroom.

The following morning, Mary vehemently refused William's invitation to take her to work. Instead, she decided to take a bus.

As soon as she arrived at the company, she ran into Jorge and Victor who had also just arrived. "Victor? You... Why are you here?" Mary asked in surprise.

"Mary!" greeted Victor with a smile. His face, however, showed a faint, yet noticeable trace of exhaustion.

"We just came back from the TV Ceremony," Jorge said, his face serious. "He made such a big mess. Shouldn't he come back to apologize? Back me up!"

Mary frowned and turned to Victor, saying, "Victor, why did you suddenly announce that you would quit the show business? You just won a prestigious award! You literally just became a renowned actor, why would you — "

"For you! For you, Mary!" Jorge lost his temper and shouted at Mary.

"Jorge! Shut it!" Victor warned, interrupting the angered Jorge. "This had nothing to do with Mary! As I have said, I have considered retiring for the longest time now. There is no need to blame anyone for it but me!"

"Okay, okay!" Jorge laughed out of anger. "Then it's your decision! I can't control you anymore! I am so disappointed in you! Apparently, I have been wrong about you all along! How could you care more for a woman than your own career! I cannot stand you! I'll go now!"

And he did. With mixed feelings, Mary looked at Jorge's figure as he walked away. "Mary, please don't listen to him," Victor said quietly. "I know you're familiar with my relationship with William. I've been trying to terminate the contract, and I finally found a chance," he explained.
