Love Contract novel Chapter 111

Looking at Mary, William was moving closer and closer. He was about to kiss her.

"Ring, ring, ring..."

Just then, a sharp ringtone shattered the silence, not to mention the romantic moment.

"Damn it..." William cursed in his heart. Damn it! He had an impulse to kiss Mary, and then was interrupted by a phone call! He wanted to hunt down the jerk who ruined the moment!

With her mouth slightly agape, Mary watched William stand up. He didn't look happy. And that was when she came to her senses.

She hurriedly stood up to clear the detritus from their lunch off the table and prepared to make a quick exit.

"Hello?" William said coldly.

"What's wrong, William?" Frank's voice came from the other end of the line. "You sound upset. Someone made you angry?"

"Frank!" As soon as William heard Frank's voice, he changed his tone of voice. "I'm not angry. Why are you calling?" Mary paused.

Yes, how could she forget how William broke up with his father? How he left her behind and rushed off to Japan? Everything he did was for Frank! How could she forget? That was burned into her brain. How could she forget?

Maybe that was why he was in a good mood?

For a moment, the anger and hurt hidden in her heart surged up.

"You're back? So you're here in town?" William asked all of a sudden.

"Of course. Is this a good time?" Frank asked.

"Urn..." Hearing that, William frowned and turned to look at Mary. He regarded her with a complicated expression and told him, "You just arrived. Get settled in and get some rest. I'll see you tonight."

Mary stood up and walked out without a word. Her face was an unreadable mask.

'I give up! I'm done being heartbroken over you. You can do what you want, William! So I was right—that night was just a game to you.

I guess I need to let it go. It was random chance, like a one-night stand or a dog-bite. I better not have hope in my heart, ' she thought.

"Okay," said Frank. "Then I'll let you get back to work. I have good news to tell you tonight!" "Okay," said William with a faint smile. "Looking forward to it."

"Nice. Bye!" After Frank hung up the phone, a gloomy expression suddenly appeared on his handsome face, which would make everyone shiver for some reason.

Taking advantage of his break, William walked out of his office and gave an order to Mary. "Hey Mary, after work let me drive you home. We'll go home together."

"No, thank you," said Mary, staring at the screen of the computer without raising her head. "Don't put yourself out on my account, boss. I'll get home on my own."

Her tone was cold and her expression was indifferent. He was still trying to be nice to her. Why did she bristle at him, then?

Hearing that, William was furious.

"I told you not to call me 'boss' anymore!" Hands on his hips, William looked very anxious, very angry. He hated it when she struck that formal, businesslike tone.

"I don't need a ride from you, William." Mary said, plainly. However, she still didn't look at him.

"Mary! Look at me! I order you to look at me!"

Mary felt a pain in her shoulder and was forced to look up at him. He had his hand on her shoulder, and was squeezing it so hard it hurt. She frowned and asked, "What are you doing? I said I don't need your help!

Let go of me!" "Need I remind you who the boss is?" Um? Mary!" William was like a raging bull with red eyes. "Wow. If looks could kill! Why are you glaring at me like that? Do I owe you money? Smile, dammit!"

"William!" Mary shouted back at him. "Why should I smile? Why do you keep bugging me? Please stop!"

"Bugging you? You think I'm bugging you?" William's heart ached. His face was an almost impossible mixture of arrogance, heartbreak, rage, and tenderness. It was as if Mary had been a raging bull herself, and gored him badly. Just then, the elevator opened.

Kevin and Jane stood inside the elevator, staring at the scene in front of them.

"Yes, I do." Mary stared at him without fear.

"I think you're annoying as hell," she said. William slapped the desk hard. "Victor is not annoying, right? So you're obsessed with him. I knew it! If he's such a good man, go find him! Fuck off! Just...fuck off!"

William snorted coldly and strode into his office.
