Love Contract novel Chapter 244

In the CEO's office of the AJ Group.

William was lost in thought as he stared at the gold-plated invitation in his hand.

"Dear Mr. William Lan, CEO of AJ Group and Vice Chairman of the Film Industry Association of A City, you are cordially invited to the 18th Golden Cup Awards Ceremony." The Golden Cup Awards was arguably the most important event for everyone involved in the entertainment industry in A City. The ceremony would feature different movies competing in different categories.

"Is 'Be Together' participating in this film festival, Virgil?" William suddenly asked, startling the man beside him.

"It is," Virgil answered, accompanied by a quick nod.

"I see." William nodded slightly as well. "That's all. You may leave now."

"Okay, boss." Virgil then walked out of William's office and gently closed the door behind him.

The festival was still a month away but William was already considering the chances of Be Together. With its impressive box office performance—more than 100 million in three days-there was no doubt that the movie would bring home something during the ceremony.

As William tapped his index finger on the table, an idea came to his mind.

Because "Be Together" was on the verge of becoming the biggest success of Mary's career, it would only be appropriate for him to "be together" with Mary as well.

'It's time I prepare my romantic proposal to her!' he excitedly thought. 'Besides, our lack of marriage certificate has really been bothering me these days.'

Meanwhile, as soon as Selah finished shooting her movie, she became a cast member for an outdoor reality show. She was incredibly excited for it, but she did not expect how exhausted she would be from all climbing and swimming they had to do.

Despite all of that, she felt happy and fulfilled. Finally, she was experiencing what she had been dreaming all her life: being busy with multiple projects and having countless dedicated fans.

That night, after finishing a shoot that lasted until one o'clock in the morning, she decided to drop by her entertainment company.

"Josie, you may go home first." Since it was incredibly late, she thought that it would be better if she drove her assistant home first. "Selah," said Josie, who was still a college student and always quietly following Selah, "Felicia told me to never let you out of my sight. I'm sorry but I can't leave you alone."

"I will be fine on my own." Selah waved her hand to further dismiss Josie. "Haven't you noticed how late it already is? You should already be home by this hour. I also need to go to the hospital to visit my son. Look, I already brought you to your door!"

"But..."

"Josie, what you should be thinking about is the important schedule we have tomorrow afternoon! You should rest so you'd have energy for it." Selah smiled at her assistant reassuringly. "I'll sleep in the hospital tonight. Obviously, you can't sleep there with me. You can just pick me up tomorrow."

"Then..."

"Oh my god, Josie. Just relax and go home!" Selah rolled her eyes and waved at Josie again. "Trust me, I'll be okay. I can do this on my own.

"Selah, I'll practice driving soon. When I get my driver's license, you won't have to drive after working so hard," Josie said as she bit her lower lip in embarrassment.

"That is such a good idea, Josie!" Selah exclaimed ecstatically as she pursed her lips. "I can't wait for that day to come!" "Selah, drive carefully. Good night."

"I will. Now get out of my car and get inside your house! I have to go now." Josie slowly exited the car. As soon as she was out, Selah waved her goodbye, started the car, and drove away.

She drove back to the company. One good thing about working in the entertainment industry was that even during the wee hours of the night, there were still people in the building.

When she arrived, she sat in the lounge for a while to take out her laptop and her gift for Ray. After that, she walked to the elevator happily.

Ding!

Finally, the elevator reached the floor where Selah was. Slowly, the door opened in front of her.

She was about to enter the elevator with a beaming smile, only to see a seemingly pained Barry, who leaned against one corner of the elevator.

His arms were wrapped around his torso, his face was pale, and sweat beaded on his forehead. He was in so much pain that he did not even notice Selah.

"Mr. Gu, are you okay?" Seeing that something might be wrong with Barry, she immediately walked into the elevator. "Does your stomach hurt?" Barry tried to lift his head, but he could not. He barely even had the strength to speak! Because of that, he feebly raised his hand and shook it to show that he was fine.

"It seems like you're in pain. Are you sure you're all right?" Selah held one of Barry's arms to make sure he would not just plop to the ground.

Barry trembled slightly and his stomach began to churn harder than ever.
