Love Contract novel Chapter 140

"Oh, you're both so cute!" Hester praised.

"Thank you," said Mary with a modest smile. She then turned to the two kids. "This is Aunt Hester. She's going to live with us from now on, so you should call her Aunt Hester."

"Hello, Aunt Hester!"

"Nice to meet you, Aunt Hester!"

Both of them shouted cheerfully.

"Hi, kids!" Hester smiled from ear to ear.

"Hester, have you eaten yet?" Mary pointed at the table. "If you haven't had breakfast, you can eat with the kids."

"I have, madam."

"Then..." Mary looked at her watch. "Hester, please look after the kids. I need to go somewhere. I don't know if I can make it back before noon, so please prepare lunch for them."

"That won't be a problem." Hester put a hand on her own chest. "Don't worry, madam. I'll take care of them well."

"That sounds reassuring, thank you, Hester." Mary bent over and hugged her kids. "Mommy has to go to work now. You should listen to Aunt Hester, and don't make any trouble for her, okay?"

"Mommy, when will you be back?" asked Alick.

"I don't know," Mary shook her head. She wasn't sure how many people were participating in the event. "I will come back as soon as possible, I promise."

"Then Mommy, you need to take us out to play when you come back!"

"No problem." Mary smiled, "Come and have breakfast with Aunt Hester. I'll need to go upstairs."

Mary hurried upstairs and put on a beige dress and a pair of high heels. She untied her hair. Her hair was bright and black, and the curled ends of her hair resembled the gentle waves of the ocean.

She grabbed her bag and stood in front of the mirror downstairs. She stared at herself for a good minute with a pleasant smile on her face.

Then she went to the kitchen and kissed her two kids. "Mommy's leaving now!"

"Bye, Mommy!"

"Mommy, come back early, okay?"

"Okay." Mary stared at her kids one more time before leaving the house.

She was absolutely relieved to find the person Barry hired. With Hester looking after the kids, she could go to work without having to worry about them.

Mary walked out of the villa and immediately hailed a cab.

After four years of absence, countless roads in A City had been renewed. If she had driven by herself, she might not make it to her destination. It would be best if she took the taxi first.

"Take me to Sofia International Hotel."

"Okay!"

It was almost half past ten when Mary arrived.

Fortunately, she didn't drive by herself. She might have gotten lost because the roads had gotten confusing.

Mary glanced at the towering hotel before hurrying inside.

"Squeak!"

She had just entered the hotel when another car drove up behind her, a black Maserati slowly parked in front of the hotel.

A cold but handsome man stepped out of the car with a phone in his hand. Every move he made displayed his draconian control of everything.

That man was the CEO of AJ Group, William.

"Director Jamie, has Beth arrived?" William slowly paced towards the hotel.

"She's already here."

"Just give her the role of the heroine. I've already read the script. She is more than suitable for this role." William's face was stern and unrelenting. Regardless of his ambiguous relationship with Beth, he knew that Beth was truly perfect for this role.

"I also think she's excellent," said Director Jamie. "But the scriptwriter of this movie wants to choose the heroine herself."

"Choose the heroine herself?" William snorted coldly, "This is her debut film. What kind of person would she even pick? No one is more suitable for this than Beth."

"By the way, the scriptwriter will be here soon. Mr. Lan, would you like to come to the selection to have a look?"

"No, thanks." William refused. "Director Jamie, it's all up to you."

"Alright, alright."

"Good." William stepped into the elevator and sent a text message to Beth. "After the selection, go to the bar on the twentieth floor and find me."

"OK, I'll be right there."

She replied right away. After reading it, William smiled sardonically, and put the phone into his pocket.

Mary came to the twenty-fifth floor and walked to the door of the hall. She saw a girl standing beside Director Jamie from a distance.

The girl wore a floral dress, she had straight black hair hanging over her shoulders, a small face, a beautiful nose, and an innocent gaze.

She was beautiful.

'She must be one of the candidates for the heroine since she seems to have a good rapport with Director Jamie,' Mary muttered to herself.

But...
