Love Contract novel Chapter 233

The staff cheered and some jumped up.

"Are you going with us?" Mary titled her head as she looked at William.

"Not 'us'. It's 'me'. I'm going with you." William corrected her while staring at her seriously.

"Mary!" someone shouted her name in the distance.

"I'll be right there!" Mary shyly avoided William's eyes as she turned around and ran towards the backstage. Recently, William was filled with love. He became clingy and said sweet words often. 'It's not that bad...'

William found a random place to sit down and watched Mary. She devoted herself to her work at the scene.

Everyone had a blast at the wrap up party hosted by William. The dinner didn't finish until two o'clock in the morning the next day.

During the meal, Selah was feeling a little tired. After saying goodbye to Mary, she ran out to breathe some fresh air.

The nighttime breeze that swept through the streets was cold. Selah walked forward slowly alone. She had a hard time getting along with the lively scene inside.

Before long, she saw a car drive by. The plate number looked quite familiar.

She curiously walked over to the car and saw Barry sitting in the driver's seat. The clouds of smoke from his cigarette escaped through the window as he sat alone in his seat.

Barry's face looked handsome as he kept his eyes to the road. His face had a clear curve and a gentle arc. It seemed that she had seen such a face before.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

Selah reached out and knocked on the car

window.

Barry was stunned. He stubbed out the cigarette and rolled down the window. "Why are you out here all alone?"

Smelling the heavy smoke, Selah covered her

mouth and suppressed her coughs. "It's too lively inside. I came out for some fresh air. Mr. Gu, why don't you join us?"

Barry squinted. "I just passed by to check on them."

Selah looked at him and saw the sadness in his

eyes. "Well... Since you like her so much, why

don't you get her back?" Barry took a quick glance at her. "Are you planning on returning to the party?"

"What?"

"You can get in the car if you don't want to go back."

"Where... Where are we going?" Selah asked in a daze.

"Where do you want to go?"

"To watch the sunrise."

"Okay." Barry nodded, "Get in the car!"

"Eh... Okay."

Selah walked towards the passenger seat, opened the door, and hopped inside.

Barry didn't say anything. He just started the car and drove to the seaside where the bright moonlight's reflection swayed through the waves.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

After the car left, a reporter with a camera came out of the bushes beside the road and nodded with satisfaction. He then flipped through the photos he had just taken.

The morning after the event, the photos taken were being reported on every news site. As soon as Selah saw the news article on her phone, her exhaustion disappeared and she gasped.

The both of them watched the sunrise at the seaside and it was the only thing they did that night. Sure enough, the paparazzi only knew how to make up stories using the photos.

"CEO of GM Universing Studios appeared outside of the party for 'Be Together'. He met up with the actress Selah Shen at midnight."

"The two were seen strolling along the seaside. It is suspected that they are dating."

Sitting in his office, Barry also saw the news as he scrolled through his phone. He wanted to reach out to the news site and clarify it but through the office he saw Mary, who was making her way to his office.

He picked up the phone and called Selah's current agent, Jaime. "Have you seen today's news?"

Knock. Knock. Knock.

"Come in please."

As Mary walked inside, she saw that Barry was on the phone. She stood beside the door quietly.

"Yes, there is no need to clarify. Tell Selah to be prepared. Hmm... I have to go now. Bye!" After hanging up the phone, Barry turned his head to Mary. "The film is ready to make its first debut. Congratulations, Mary!"

"Thank you, Barry." Lowering her head, Mary asked, "You... Last night, you and Selah... Is it true? What the reporters said on the newspaper? Selah stepped outside the party last night and didn't come back..."
