Love Contract novel Chapter 268

When he found it, he hurriedly took it out and dialed Mary's number.

Ring! Ring!

The ringing tone sounded in the bedroom. William walked quickly to the sound and opened the door.

In the darkness, the phone screen flickered on the bed.

In a panic, William turned on the light in the bedroom, and slowly walked to the bed. The phone was there but Mary was nowhere to be found. His heart raced by the minute.

"Tell the bodyguards outside the door to find Mary. If she doesn't come back tonight, they will be fired!" ordered William to the nanny with a cold face.

"Yes, sir!" The nanny nodded, turned around, and left.

With his head down, William pulled his hair in frustration. He fell heavily on the bed with pained expression in his eyes.

He scolded Mary and slapped her. No way!

William could not calm down as everything dawned on him all at once. He quickly stood up and strode out. He must go out to look for her in person!

It was six o'clock in the morning. The sun had not risen yet so darkness engulfed the whole city.

Barry parked his car at the gate of GM Building, handed the key to the doorman, and went upstairs.

Ding!

He arrived at the top floor shortly. As soon as the elevator door opened, he walked out. A few steps from the elevator, he noticed that there was a dim light in Mary's office.

Did she forget to turn off the light?

Barry turned around and walked into her office. With a click, the door was opened.

''Mary?''

To his surprise, Mary was bending over her desk.

When Mary heard his voice, she raised her head quickly. Startled, she looked out of the window and said, "You... Why did you come so early?"

"I have a video conference with the branch overseas," Barry answered. He was about to turn on more light when Mary spoke again.

"No, don't turn on the light!" She stopped him right away. She was in such a mess that she did not want Barry to see her.

"What's wrong?" Barry asked. He looked at Mary from head to toe.

His eyes widened in shock when he saw a palm print on her cheek. Also, she was wearing slippers in the office which was unusual because Mary always wanted to look professional.

Embarrassed, she hid her feet. "Last night... I slept in the company. I'm sorry."

"What's wrong with your face? I saw a palm print. Did William beat you? Bastard! That beast! " Barry roared angrily.

Mary touched her face lightly and shook her head. "It's nothing."

"Did you quarrel with William?" Barry came over and asked, "I'll buy you some medicine."

"No, thanks!" Just as he was about to take a step away, Mary stopped him. "I'm fine."

"He... How could he do this? That rascal!" Barry suppressed his impulse to embrace Mary. He loved her so much he would spoil her with love. How could she be hurt by William again and again? "I'm fine."

"Don't always say that you are fine!" Barry shouted. "Did you run away last night? Did you come here because you had nowhere else to go?" Barry asked while frowning.

"Yes."

"Why didn't you go to my place?" Looking at her slightly swollen eyes, Barry felt a stabbing pain in his heart.
