Love Contract novel Chapter 32

In mid-June, it was the start of the plum rain season in A City. Therefore, it was constantly drizzling or raining.

On the shooting site of the 'Past of Republic of China', Mary was sitting as she watched the filming from afar. The main actors and actresses were all on their way on today's flight, so for the moment, the crew focused on shooting only the supporting roles.

At that instant, a young woman in an ancient costume could be seen on the camera. As she shifted her oil-paper umbrella a little, a few drops of rain fell from its edge, and she muttered, "If you can see the landscape in my eyes, why do I need to speak so many words and let my intelligence go to waste?"

'Are all the women who suffer from unrequited love so pitiful?'

With a sigh, Mary stood up and took out a regular umbrella as she got in the car to pick the main actors and actresses up.

Lucas happened to be on a flight of that day.

After speaking to William over the phone earlier, he couldn't help but be curious and confused. He wanted to ask him what was going on and why he was in a fake marriage. But William kept his mouth shut, forcing him to book the earliest flight to A City.

Before he got on the plane, however, he told William to get ready for his questions.

Because of the rain, delays were a possibility, but, fortunately, every airplane managed to land at the airport within its schedule.

During the whole trip, Victor sat with his eyes closed and rested to get ready for the scene he would have to shoot as soon as he got off the plane. By the time he walked through the airport, Victor still felt tired but didn't hide his surprise at seeing Mary.

Meanwhile, the fans who had been waiting at the airport surrounded the exit. The staff had to escort them all the way, while Victor, with his sunglasses on, greeted everyone with a smile. It was a while until he could get out free.

As soon as he walked out of the hall, he saw Mary standing by the nanny van. She was wearing a pair of simple blue jeans and a loose coat. Although he could see with precision her black curly hair, her eyebrows and eyes seemed a little blurred under the rain at first.

However, once Victor saw the smile in her eyes, he couldn't help flashing her a wide smile of his own.

Pressing down his hat, Victor strode towards Mary. "Hey, you haven't opened the umbrella yet!" Jorge shouted behind him.

Nonetheless, in three or two steps, Victor was standing before Mary as he asked with a smile, "Why are you here?"

"Why did you come without an umbrella?" Mary hurried to cover him with an umbrella and added, "Let's get in the car first."

"Okay."

The moment the two of them got in the car, Jorge rushed over. "Victor, you..."

As if he didn't expect to see Mary, Jorge stopped talking all of a sudden, and with a slight nod, he greeted her, "Hello, Mrs. Lan. You're also here."

"Jorge," said Mary with a faint smile. "Today, it's Mary, not Mrs. Lan here."

"Well, okay," Jorge complied, raising his eyebrows.

Mary looked at Jorge in confusion. She had always had this nagging feeling inside that he didn't like her. Or had she just imagined it all along?

"Oh, it's raining so heavily." As the silence fell among them, Summer, squeezed through the crowd as she made her way to the nanny van. "Can you take me to the shooting site, Victor? My nanny van is stuck in traffic." Victor frowned slightly. "The car is full."

"No, it isn't." Summer looked around the car and said arrogantly, "Just let Jorge sit in the passenger seat."

Upon hearing this, Jorge was furious. "Miss Zhao, you're asking too much! You really can't take a hint that you're the outsider here, can you? Why should I sit in the passenger seat?"

"You!" Summer pointed at him with her slim finger. "How dare you bully me like this?!"

Mary frowned at the actress. "Many journalists are just outside the airport. Do you want to cause trouble again?"

As soon as Summer's assistant took in Mary's words, she immediately intervened and warned the actress not to be so annoying. After all, Mary was the CEO's wife. It would be quite troublesome if she decided to banish Summer.

"I'll sit in the passenger seat. You guys sit here please!" Mary said.

Yet, when she was about to stand up, Victor stopped her. "You don't have to go."

Surprised, Mary turned to look at Victor, who suggested to Summer, "Let your assistant sit in the passenger seat, or you may take a taxi to the set."

"Okay, Victor." Summer's assistant spared him a grateful look as she pulled Summer back. The actress snorted and sat next to Jorge reluctantly.

After everything was settled, the car began to move away from the airport.

Meanwhile, in another car, a phone started to ring.

"Hello."

"William, where are you? I'm getting off the plane."

"Okay, I'll be right there." William hung up the phone but didn't get out of the car immediately. Instead, he kept his sharp eyes fixed on something else. Through the glass window washed by the rain, he observed Victor's nanny van driving farther and farther away from the airport.

Although he had been there for a while, William didn't expect to see Mary coming to pick the actor up. Did that mean that she had a good relationship with Victor?

From his car, William had watched Mary holding an umbrella as she waited for the actor in the rain.

The whole time, it seemed that Victor was the only thing that Mary saw.

At the thought of it, William couldn't help but feel angry in his heart. For what he had witnessed, Mary had been living a good life these past few days. At least, she could still find reasons to smile. 'I deserve to be troubled by the bullshit you said to me, don't I? Well, you did a good job, Mary.'

Pulling out an umbrella, William finally strode into the rain.

"Hey, William!"

As soon as William got into the hall, he heard the surprised voice of Lucas calling him.

"Lucas!" The moment he saw him, William rushed towards him.
