Love Contract novel Chapter 208

It was already late in the morning. In a room on the second floor of the night club, a man and a woman were sleeping soundly together.

"Hmm." The man on the bed suddenly moved his body, twisting his arm in the process. He jolted in pain.

Ring! Ring!

The alarm clock on the bedside table suddenly buzzed relentlessly.

Barry woke up suddenly and jumped out of the bed. Fragments of last night flashed through his mind.

Drinking, saving a girl, escaping...

"Hmm." At the same time, a woman's muffled voice suddenly came from the other side of the bed.

With his mouth wide open, Barry turned his head and exclaimed, "Selah? What?"

"Ah!" Selah opened her eyes in a daze. The first thing she saw was Barry's naked upper body. The sight of it made her face turn pale. "Mr... Mr. Gu? You..." "Damn it!" Barry pounded his fist on the bed and his face was ashen. "Bastard!"

What happened last night went through his mind. The expression on Barry's face was beyond description.

"Mr. Gu," Selah called out timidly.

"Shut up! Shut up!" With his eyes wide open, Barry roared. Selah was frightened and shrank to the side, holding her breath.

He was such a jerk! How could it be possible?

Ring! Ring!

All of a sudden, Barry's cell phone rang among the clothes scattered on the floor.

He fumbled through the clothes irritably, trying to locate the sound of the phone. Finally, he successfully found his phone and answered it at once. "Who is it?" said Barry in a fierce tone. "Hello?

Why the bad attitude? You bastard!" Lucas's voice came through the phone and he was fuming. "Where have you been? "

"Why are you calling me?!" Barry suppressed his anger and asked, "What's up?"

"What's up? Fuck you! How dare you ask me what's up?! Barry Gu!" Lucas sneered, "Do you know that Alick and Elissa were kidnapped yesterday? " "What? What happened?" Upon hearing it, Barry straightened himself up. "Who kidnapped them? How are they doing now?"

"They both are fine." Lucas calmed down and continued, "I was just worried that you might be in danger. I've been calling you for the whole night!"

"Alick and Elissa," asked Barry, he was still in shock, "where are they now?"

"In the Municipal People's Hospital." Lucas paused for a moment and added, "They were rescued by William. Both children are okay, but William is still in surgery. It's good to hear that you are fine. I have to go now."

Beep. Beep.

Lucas had already hung up the phone and the busy tone remained ringing in the background. As if in a daze, Barry could not think straight.

He should be happy that both kids were safe and sound. But when he heard that William had saved them, his heart turned sour and a sense of frustration dawned on him.

There was a rustling sound beside him. Barry turned around and found that Selah had put on her clothes.

He caught a glance at the marks on her neck, and his eyes darkened. He did not know whether he should be annoyed or feel guilty. "Mr... Mr. Gu, I'm leaving now!" Selah had managed to put on her torn uniform. Her head was lowered so Barry could not see her expression clearly.

"You," Barry said with a pounding headache, "about what happened last night, I..."

"I know! I won't tell anyone!" Selah said hurriedly.

"Okay." Barry nodded.

"But I have one condition." Selah suddenly raised her head and continued, "You can't terminate my contract with GM Universing Studios! And, Mr. Gu, give me money. I want money! Otherwise, I will tell Manager Lu about last night!"

"You!" Barry was so angry that he raised his hand at once. Looking at Selah's pure and innocent face, he felt the guilt in his heart disappeared without a trace. He sneered, "Okay, okay. You want money, right? Easy!"

"Yes," Selah answered with her eyes lowered to the ground.

"I'll transfer the money to your account tomorrow!" Barry said coldly. He began to put on his clothes and said, "You'd better behave yourself in the future. If I hear any gossip about us, you should know that you will live miserably for the rest of your life."

"I... I will." "Humph!" Barry buttoned up, grabbed his coat, and walked out of the room. He slammed the door behind him with a loud bang.

Click. Click. Click. The clock in the room ticked loudly in the quiet room.

Selah suddenly lost all her strength and started crying on the bed.
