In the 100th anniversary of Z University, Barry, a legendary alumnus of the university was invited warmly to attend the celebration.
Looking at Barry's grand invitation, Mary could not help but sigh. "It's really different to be a person with fame."
"Well, it actually depends on the person's contribution."
"Hmm?" Mary titled her head and asked him, "Did you donate money to the university?"
"Yes, I donated a lab building." Barry nodded slightly. "It was a long time ago."
"Wow!" Mary shook her head and chuckled.
"Shall we go together?" Barry raised his eyebrows. "You haven't come back to Z University for a long time, have you?"
"Yes," Mary answered with a smile. "I haven't been there since I graduated. I did not expect that so many years have passed already. Time really flies so fast."
"Then go back with me."
"No, I don't think I should go back." Mary shook her head and added, "Besides, I haven't finished my work here."
"It's just a two-day trip," Barry said. "Also, I want to pay my respect to your mother."
Upon hearing this, Mary paused. Yes, she had not gone back to see her mother for a long time.
"I want to take Alick and Elissa with me as well," said Barry. "What do you think?"
"Hmm. Sure." Mary nodded.
On Friday afternoon, after finishing his work early, William rushed to the filming set of "Be Together".
Just like a young man who had fallen in love, the thought of seeing Mary made his heart beat fast.
"Mr. Lan comes to the set so frequently these past few days!" Seeing William again, Director Jamie was no longer surprised. He said teasingly, "Are you here to see our scriptwriter again?"
"Where is she?" Without getting annoyed, William just stretched out his neck and looked around the filming site.
"Stop peeping," said Archer, who came over wearing the outfit for the next scene. He was wearing an exquisite makeup but his face was long. "Mary has already left." William frowned. His excitement bubble burst at once. "Where did she go?"
"She ran away with Barry." Archer snorted and took a sip of water. His Adam's apple rolled up and down in an indescribable charm.
"Ran away? To where?" Wide-eyed, William exclaimed, "Where did they go?! Eloping? Did Barry force Mary to come with him? What else do you know?!"
"Eh?" Director Jamie stopped William's wild imagination and said in a matter-of-fact way, "Mr. Lan, they went back to their hometown to attend the anniversary of the alma mater."
"University anniversary? Z University?" Hearing that, William frowned deeply. "Did Alick and Elissa go with them, too?"
"Probably." Director Jamie nodded and added, "Actually I don't know. You can ask Archer."
"Archer?"
"Yes, ask me." Archer nodded with a fake smile.
"When did they go?" asked William.
"Why should I tell you?" Archer raised his head proudly.
"You..." Looking at the Hollywood star who was several years younger than him, William could not do anything except get mad. "Okay, I'll investigate it myself if you don't want to tell me. "It's pointless." Archer glanced at him and snickered, "They must have arrived already."
William choked at Archer's words. He rubbed his forehead with his thumb and index finger, as if Archer was giving him headache. "You seem to be against me."
"Uncle Timothy told me that I don't have to be polite to you," Archer said with raised eyebrows.
"My father?" said William in a daze.
"Yes. Your father." Archer nodded. "It seems that you don't care about Uncle Timothy at all. You didn't even help him with his career in the US."
"You..." Hearing what he said, William asked with narrowed eyes, "Do you also do dock business?"
"To be exact, it's my family business." Archer smiled. "Uncle Timothy and my father are good friends. I heard that he came back and visited him a few days ago."
William just stared at Archer in bewilderment.
His father's dock business had been prosperous and was recognized by both gangs and the government. Because of that, he became well known in the US. William did not expect that this famous movie star in front of him would also get a share. He just realized that the man in front of him named Archer should not be underestimated.
"Then it's a pleasure to meet you." A faint smile appeared on William's face.
"Yeah, my pleasure." Archer raised his eyebrows and said, "You don't have to worry about Vivian. It's none of your business anyway. If you have time, you'd better care about Uncle Timothy and his business!"
"Archer, come here!" Archer's agent greeted him from a distance.
