Love Contract novel Chapter 142

Ding!

The elevator reached the 32nd floor and William walked out expressionlessly.

"Mr. Lan..." As soon as Andy saw him, she leaned over and said coquettishly, "Mr. Lan, you haven't been to my place for several days!"

"Miss me?" A wicked and attractive smile appeared on William's face as he put his arms around her waist.

"Yes, I miss you so much!" Andy leaned over to kiss him.

However, William suddenly turned his head away and pushed her gently. "I'm not in the mood. Let's go to work."

"Fine," replied Andy with resentment. She did not go back to her desk until William had entered his office.

In the past four years, she had succeeded on becoming one of the women around William. From becoming his secretary, she was able to enter the highest floor of the AJ Group successfully.

But... Andy glared at the empty desk across the room.

It had once belonged to Mary and had remained untouched since then. Moreover, William took an extra care for it was also cleaned by special people everyday.

William had never kissed her, nor did he kiss any other woman.

Was he still thinking about the woman whose name was Mary?

Knock! Knock!

While William was concentrating on his work, he heard a knock on the door suddenly. "Come in."

"Mr. Lan!" Like a gust of wind, Beth entered into the office. With tearful eyes, she sat on William's lap and stared at him. "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine." William shook his head.

"That's good. Virgil didn't allow me to enter your apartment!" Aggrieved, Beth added, "I just care about you!"

"I know you care about me." William touched her face playfully.

"Mr. Lan," Beth called him shyly and added, "it's all that woman's fault yesterday. I didn't know where she came from. You passed out because of her." That woman? Who?!

The scene yesterday flashed in his mind. He pulled Beth up and put his hands on her shoulders. He was so furious he looked like an angry lion. "What did you just say?! What are you talking about? What woman? What happened yesterday?!"

"It's the woman who was in the elevator yesterday. I didn't know what she was doing on her phone!" Beth asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Did I go after her but she ran away? Answer me?! " William gripped Beth's arms so tight they could almost break.

"Yes... Yes!" Beth answered timidly.

"Mary!"

All of a sudden, William sat up. His eyes were full of disbelief and shock. Even his whole body trembled slightly.

'It was not a dream! It was not an illusion! Mary is back! Mary!'

He looked so excited as if he finally saw an oasis in the middle of the desert after walking for days. His eyes turned red and he wanted to cry.

He shove Beth away and rushed out of the office with long strides. "Mr. Lan!" Beth called out in a hurry, but she did not see him stop.

She frowned slightly. Her intuition made her feel that there was something wrong with the woman yesterday. A deep sense of crisis arose spontaneously.

"Mary... Mary!"

There was only one thought in his mind, and that was to find Mary as soon as possible!

He rushed downstairs and drove to Sofia International Hotel.

He had missed this person for four years. Every night, he would dream of her beautiful face and finally, he saw her again. He wanted to hold her tight in his arms and never let go.

He finally reached the hotel. With a loud bang, he closed the door of his car and walked fast to the hotel.

"Welcome to Sofia International Hotel."

"Where is Mary? Which room is she staying? Answer me quick!" William rushed to the front desk and asked questions one after another, leaving no chance for the receptionist to speak.

"Mr... Mr. Lan?" The receptionist asked in confusion, "May I ask Mary's whole name?"

"Mary Lu!" William tried to suppress his excitement in his heart. "Do you have a guest named Mary Lu?"

"Well," the receptionist answered, "Mr. Lan, could you wait for a moment? I will just check it for you."

"Okay." William nodded. He was so nervous his fists were clenched tightly.

"Sorry, Mr. Lan." The receptionist had just finished checking the guest list but she did not find Mary. "There is no guest named Mary Lu."

"What? Perhaps you did not check well." William frowned and reached out to grab the guest list in the receptionist's hands.

"Mr. Lan..."

"It's impossible. Unbelievable..." His slender fingers turned the pages of the guest list one by one. He scanned the pages fast but carefully. He felt more confused by the minute. "Why doesn't it have her name?"
