And with that, she walked to the living room and turned on the TV at once.
"It is reported that at the 10th anniversary of AJ Group last night, Mr. William Lan, the CEO of AJ Group, showed off his dancing skills then left early in the middle of the party while holding a female manager from GM Universing Studios, whose surname is Lu..."
Mary watched the video of William's wonderful dancing on TV with her mouth wide open. The memories of last night seemed to flash into her mind all at once and she forgot how to react.
Hearing the familiar sound, William walked over from the table and said while smiling, "Well done shooting."
Mary wanted to scold him, so she turned around to glare at him and then changed the channel abruptly.
"Let's look at the entertainment news that happened yesterday. At a dinner party, the Hollywood star Archer Song behaved intimately with a man. Here is the picture of the two. The two men in the picture were talking and laughing happily, which made people doubt the new star's sexual orientation." William stepped forward with his brows furrowed when he saw the picture of the two on TV.
Mary pressed the button of the remote control to switch channels. The news of last night was overwhelming.
"Gosh! I'm done."
Mary felt frustrated. 'Damn it! The world has turned upside down and it's still morning! I am so foolish!'
"It doesn't matter. I've read the news about us. It's not that bad," said William indifferently with his hands inside his pockets.
"This is so unexpected! I never dreamed of this!" The entertainment host's voice came on TV. "The CEO of the film and television company is not only handsome and rich, but also capable! Look..."
As the news anchor spoke, a video of William dancing to the Latin music was shown on screen. The host continued, "Such a man is definitely the best husband a girl could even dream of in her heart! I believe that even you won't be able to suppress your love and admiration for him! But my dear audience, let's see what happened next!"
The host stretched out his hand and slid the screen. Suddenly, several photos of William and Mary leaving together appeared.
"Alas," said the host as he pretended to feel sorry, "It's a pity that he has already a girlfriend. After such a passionate dance, I wonder where this handsome CEO has taken his girl and what did they do after? Ha ha! I'm sure everyone knows it," said the news anchor with a grin.
"Is this also 'not bad'? Ha ha! Ha ha!" Mary did not know whether to laugh or to cry. It seemed that the whole world knew that she eloped with him last night.
A few steps to the balcony, Mary saw several suspicious people in the community. If they went out now, they would be photographed, wouldn't they?
But what should she do now? She had not been mentally prepared for this. Things went too fast.
In the CEO's office of GM Universing Studios.
Barry looked at the overwhelming news on the computer and closed the website coldly. He just went out for a while last night, but such a wonderful story happened.
Mary's phone was still powered off.
Did Mary really run away with him?
'Damn it! Why wasn't it me? How could Mary still love William Lan after all this time?'
Knock. Knock. Knock.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Barry calmed down and said in a low voice, "Come in." "Mr. Gu," his assistant, Cooper, came in with a folder in his hand and said, "there are two documents that need your signature."
"Okay." Barry nodded and signed his name.
"Well..."
"Anything else?" Barry looked up.
"Well," Cooper said reluctantly, "Selah is waiting outside. She said she wanted to see you."
Barry frowned and said, "I told you I would not see anyone this morning. Let her go."
"I won't leave! I want to terminate the contract with you!" While Barry ad Cooper were still talking, Selah suddenly pushed the door open and walked up to Barry in her high heels. "I want to terminate my contract with the company!"
Barry just looked at her and said nothing. He was still mad and this woman came to make trouble again. Did she really think that he could not do anything to her? Too young and too naive!
"Gosh! Selah, please calm down." Cooper held her hand and said, "Let's go outside to discuss
"No need!"
"No need."
Barry and Selah spoke in unison, which left Cooper stunned. "You can leave now, Cooper." Barry waved his hand.
"Eh... Yes, sir." Cooper left quickly, closing the door behind him.
"I want to terminate the contract with the company!" With her handbag in her hand, Selah patted on Barry's desk with an imposing manner.
"Ha!" Barry snorted. He casually put his hands in his pockets, stood up carelessly and answered, "You don't have to repeat a sentence for so many times. I can hear you."
"You..." Selah gritted her teeth. She remembered how he insulted her last night and now she felt angry to the bones. "Then you'd better terminate the contract now!"
"Who is your agent?" Barry ignored her nonsense and asked indifferently.
"Well... Natalie Tang."
"Okay." Barry nodded and continued, "Have you told her that you want to terminate the contract?"
"Not yet." Selah's arrogance gradually faded away.
"Where is she now?"
"She has taken another artist out for a project." Selah sighed silently. How would Natalie spend so much time on her, an insignificant actress? "So," Barry tapped his fingers on the desk impatiently and said, "You just rushed into my office and said you wanted to terminate the contract with the company?"
