Love Contract novel Chapter 144

William's eyebrows went up as he asked, "Who did he say he gave it to?"

"I don't know," Beth continued to pout. "He said it was a little girl from the selection and that the scriptwriter chose her. Mr. Lan, you promised me..."

The elevator doors opened outside, and Mary and Jill walked out.

"Hello," Jane said, standing up to greet them. "Are you Vivian, representative of GM Universing Studios?"

"Yes, I am," Mary said smiling. She took off her sunglasses and spoke again, "Hello, Jane."

"Hmm?" Jane looked at the person in front of her and did a double take, her eyes widening. She was stunned for a long time before she came to her senses. "Oh my God! Mary?"

"Jane," Mary said, opening her arms.

"Mary!" Jane said again, throwing herself into Mary's arms and crying over and over again, "Oh my God! Am I dreaming? Are you really Mary?" "It's me. It is me,"

Mary said, getting emotional. "I didn't expect you to still be here."

Jill was standing to the side, wondering what was going on.

"What's wrong?" The door of the CEO's office opened, William and Beth emerging from the room, arm in arm.

Jane hurriedly separated from Mary, trying to control her tears, but unable to speak.

Mary turned around and saw the two people at the door of the office. She frowned.

William glanced casually around, his eyes coming to rest on Mary. They widened in shock and he gasped, "Mary?"

"Mr. Lan. Long time, no see," Mary said, smiling professionally. She took a few steps forward, hand outstretched.

"I... I'm not dreaming, right?" William said, staring unblinkingly at the people before him.

"Mr. Lan? What are you talking about?" Beth said to William, shaking his arm to reclaim his attention.

She didn't like the way William was looking at the woman before them.

William was stunned. He suddenly pushed Beth away and rushed to Mary, explaining awkwardly, "Mary, it's not what you think!" "I... I..." he continued to stutter. "Mr. Lan," Mary said, looking almost amused, but her smile didn't waver. "I'm here today to hand you an invitation."

"Mary..." William was choked with sobs. It looked like he didn't hear a word of what she was saying. He muttered, "More than four years have passed. Where have you been? Do you know I have been looking for you all this while?"

He then made to hug her. But Mary took a step back, frowning.

Mary pulled out the invitation and said, "I'm Vivian, representative of the GM Universing Studios. I hope you can attend the party that our company is hosting."

"Vivian?" Beth's voice sounded excited. She hurriedly made her way over to them. "Are you the scriptwriter of 'Be Together'?" she asked Mary.

"Yes, I am."

"Why didn't you choose me as the female lead?" Beth asked angrily and arrogantly. "Mr. Lan said he wanted me to be the heroine."

"I can choose whoever I want in my movie. Mr. Lan's opinion is just a suggestion," Mary said coldly. Did this woman think she would cave in if she mentioned William?

Beth suddenly seemed to realize something and said, "Are you the woman from the elevator that day?" "I'm sorry to have interrupted you that day," Mary said firmly. She was neither humble nor pushy.

"Mary..." William started but didn't know what else to say. She had really seen what had happened that day. He wanted to die. "I'm not...

"Mr. Lan!" Beth screeched. "This bitch has ruined things. Why are you still cooperating with her?" She looked coquettishly up at him and said in a wheedling tone, "Please don't shoot a movie with her, okay?"

Bitch? Who the hell did this woman think she was?

Mary looked at the two of them, ice dripping from her gaze, then turned and handed the invitation to Jane and said, "Mr. Lan, I'm leaving now. I hope you can be there on time. Jill, let's go."

Jill merely nodded and said, "Okay."

"Mary!" William called desperately, looking like he was about to chase after Mary.

"Mr. Lan!" Beth said, exasperated, as she held on to William's hand.

"Fuck off!" William said angrily, shaking Beth off. He turned and slapped her and said fiercely, "She is my wife. If you say anything to her again, I will ruin your career!" When Mary, who was standing at the door of the elevator, heard this, her body stiffened.

The elevator finally arrived and she ran into the elevator.

"Mary!" William ran forward and just as the doors of the elevator were about to close, reached out and jammed a hand in between.

The elevator doors opened again. William pulled Jill out from beside Mary, a look of cold indignation on his face.
