Love Contract novel Chapter 124

Apartment, hospital, company.

Mary was back to her normal life, carefully hiding the scars in her heart, and showing a strong attitude.

William had been away from the apartment for a few days, and it was as if they had returned to the kind of relationship they first had. Even at the company, Mary seldom talked to him.

If there was anything that could make Mary feel surprised, it was when she received consecutive flowers on her table.

From one flower on the first day to eleven flowers on the second day, twenty-two flowers on the third day, thirty-three flowers on the third day....

Every day, when Mary arrived at the company, whether early or late, the flowers were already lying on the table.

It was not that she did not guess who sent the flowers, but after a week, he still had not shown himself. Mary could only wait and see.

On Friday, Mary received a call from Victor, who had not shown up for a long time. "Mary, are you free tomorrow?" asked Victor straightforwardly.

"Well..." Mary thought for a moment and nodded."Yes. Why?"

"Nothing important," answered Victor while smiling. "Can I invite you out to have fun?"

"Have fun..." Mary sighed. She was not in the mood to go out and have fun. "I..."

"If you refuse, I will be sad," Victor interrupted her and put on a pathetic voice. "I have been a little depressed recently."

Mary frowned. She suddenly recalled the last time she had seen him. He was in the CEO's office and it appeared that he and William were quarreling.

"How are you doing recently?" Since Victor announced his withdrawal from the entertainment industry, William had taken strict measures to banish him from the industry. So far, there had been no news about him.

"Staying at home all day long is really boring," said Victor casually.

"Then, can you go out?"

"Of course, I'm not under house arrest." Victor added happily, "So you agree to go out with me tomorrow?"

"Well..." Mary frowned and thought for a while. ''Okay.'1

"Okay," replied Victor, "I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."

"Sure."

Early the next morning, the two set forth.

They had not seen each other for a long time but Victor had not changed much. He still had the smile he always had. He wore casual clothes and a cap, which he lowered from time to time to cover his face.

"How inconvenient," said Victor with a sigh. "Do you mind me hiding my face?"

"No, not at all," Mary said, shaking her head.

"You've lost weight again, Mary."

"Really? It's good then," said Mary with an awkward smile.

Victor raised his eyebrows and put on a smile. "Let's go. I'll take you to eat delicious food today. You need to eat more. Only plump people are cute."

"Ha ha." Mary smiled faintly.

"How about hotpot?" Victor asked. "It's a little cold today and a warm hotpot seems nice."

"Sounds good," said Mary with a smile. They went to a hotpot restaurant, only to find it packed with people who had the same idea. They eventually found a table by the window and sat down.

"What are you going to do from now on?" Mary asked while eating. "Isn't it a pity that you won't be an actor anymore?"

"A little," replied Victor with a desolate smile. "After all, I have been in this industry for many years. But, I might as well quit instead of staying in a place I don't like."

"I see. Well, I don't want to see any conflict between you and William. It's good for you to leave AJ Group and go to another company. With your current reputation and influence, there must be a lot of companies who want you. However, I don't think there's a need to quit the entertainment industry," said Mary thoughtfully.

"I know." Victor closed his eyes.
