While they were having fun, William's phone suddenly rang. A woman with a heavy makeup felt his phone vibrate. It took her a long time to take his phone, only to find out that the phone had already stopped ringing. When she was about to speak, she saw a woman's photo on the screen.
"Oh, Mr. Lan, who is this?" asked the woman. "Who deserves to be put in your phone gallery?"
Hearing that, William suddenly grabbed the phone from her. Seeing Mary's smile on the screen made him calm down. However, he turned around to the woman and said fiercely, "Who allowed you to touch my phone?! Huh?"
"I..." The woman was startled at his response and stammered.
"Fuck off! Get out! All of you!" With a loud bang, William threw the glass he was holding all of a sudden where it broke into tiny fragments.
The room became quiet for nobody dared to speak. With red eyes, William roared, "Get out!"
The group of women looked at each other, held their breath, and quietly retreated.
"Mr. Lan..." "Mary!" William held Beth, who was leaving at the end of the group. He then buried his head on her shoulders and whispered, "Mary..."
"Mr. Lan..."
Without saying anything, William pushed her down on the sofa and murmured, "Mary..."
He stared at Beth, but his eyes were desolate and sad.
"Okay..." Beth snorted.
After a while, William came back to his senses. "Tell me, who are you?" he held her shoulders and asked while gritting his teeth.
"I'm Beth."
"Say it again! Who are you? Who the hell are you?"
"I am..." Beth swallowed hard. She was about to repeat her answer, but a thought occurred to her suddenly. "I'm Mary... Mary Lu."
"Mary..." Hearing that, William was stunned. With a silly smile, he said, "Yes. You're Mary!"
In Kylin International.
Virgil helped the drunk William get back to his apartment, who kept murmuring the name "Mary".
Virgil shook his head, feeling sad. 'Alas! Love is always difficult.'
When the two had reached the 20th floor, Virgil saw someone waiting at the door of the apartment.
"Mr. Liang?" Virgil opened his mouth slightly.
Frank immediately raised his head and saw drunk William. He hurried forward to help Virgil hold him up. "Why did William drink so much?"
"Well..." Virgil shook his head. "I don't know."
"Where is the key?" Frank reached out his hand and said, "Give me the key. You may go home now."
Virgil was taken aback. He heard that Frank grew up with the CEO, but he did not seem to have any contact with his boss in the past four years. Was there anything wrong?
He was hesitant to hand over the CEO to him.
"What are you waiting for?" Frank frowned.
"But..."
"Frank?" William could not keep his balance so he staggered back and forth. He looked up and opened his mouth. "You... Why are you here?"
"I called you, but you didn't answer," sighed Frank. "So I came to wait for you here."
"Okay... What's up?" "Let's go inside first."
"Hmm. Okay." William nodded in agreement and looked at Virgil in confusion. "You may go home.
"Yes, boss." Virgil did not agree to leave until William had said so. Finally, he nodded, opened the door for them, turned around, and left.
Frank entered the apartment first. He was surprised to see that all the furnishings were the same as they were four years ago.
"What do you want to say?" said William as he fell down on the sofa.
"Nothing." Frank looked at him with deep attachment. "I just wanted to see you, William."
"I... I'm pretty well."
"Then why did you drink so much?" Frank clenched his fists and continued, "Is it still because of Mary Lu? You two have already divorced! There's no use sulking over it."
"What can I do?" William smiled with selfmockery. He had sobered up a bit, and now his eyes were clearer. "I want to forget her."
"Aren't you afraid that I will take revenge on her? Huh?!" Suddenly, Frank's eyes turned fierce. "You know what kind of person I am, William!"
"I will never let you lay a single finger on her," said William seriously. "If she gets in danger... Frank, don't blame me for being unkind."
"Being unkind? What are you talking about?" Frank laughed desperately. "Ha ha! William, I have your words now. I really want to see how you are going to be unkind to me!"
