Love Contract novel Chapter 325

At this point, Selah was already shaking in both fear and anger. She tried her best to hold back her tears because there was no way she would let this man see her weakness.

"Go out and start packing your things to move in the villa," Barry commanded without taking another look at her.

Meanwhile, Selah walked out of the ward, feeling so defeated. Her eyes could not focus while her hands were firmly clasped in utter fury.

'Barry Gu! That bastard! He is such a demon in sheep's clothing! How dare him to treat me like this!' she cursed to herself, hating him to the core.

The following day, Barry sent his personal assistant to instruct Selah in moving her luggage to the villa. He wanted to make sure that Selah would not defy his order and do as she was told.

So left with no other choice, she walked out of the company dormitory with suitcases and bags in her hands.

"Let me do it." As he spoke, Jaime gestured to take a suitcase from her.

"It's okay. I can do it." Selah shook her head and said, "Look at you. You're a gentleman and a famous agent. How can I let you take it?"

Annoyed, Jaime took off his gold-rimmed glasses and retorted, "I'm not a gentleman anymore, am I?"

After saying that, he immediately grabbed the big bag and walked towards the truck, leaving her in a daze. It was such an unusual move from him, but because Selah knew that she had to hurry, she merely shook off that thought after a few seconds.

"Why did you suddenly move to Mr. Gu's house?" Jaime asked once they settled in the car. His eyes glinted with so much scrutiny and curiosity that even Selah felt slightly uncomfortable.

"I..." Her fingers twisted uneasily, as she was unable to say anything.

Even if she didn't tell him, Jaime could guess what was going on. After all, he had been in this industry for so long. However, he was a little bit surprised to see that Selah would be in this situation.

"You are a very hardworking and driven actress. You don't lose temper and are very dedicated to your craft," Jaime said slowly. His words, although quite common and generic, carried so much meaning. "I hope you can continue to be like this."

"I will." Selah merely nodded and flashed him a smile of reassurance.

"You still didn’t answer my question. Why are you suddenly moving into Mr. Gu's house? Did he force you?" Jaime continued to probe, obviously prying but with a mixture of concern.

Selah chuckled at his last question. "Why would Mr. Gu force me to move to his house?"

Looking at how she reacted so naturally, Jaime was stunned. He knew Barry was not only gentle, but that man was also decent. How could he do such a thing to a beautiful woman like her?

"Mr. Gu is a young and handsome bachelor. Not to mention a very wealthy man too," answered Selah, now with a brighter smile on her face. "We have a crush on each other. Do you think I wouldn't have fallen in love with such a man like him?"

"You have a crush on him?" Frowning, Jaime asked in a tone that dripped with a slight sourness.

However, Selah just raised her eyebrows and said nothing.

"Okay." After waiting for her answer that never came, Jaime finally gave up. He then took a deep breath and cast a severe gaze at her. "In that case, I'll ask Mr. Gu about it later and see if he will make your relationship public."

"Alright." Selah nodded slightly and closed her eyes to hide the panic that was slowly rising within her.

She was acting just now, and because she was so great at what she did, even Jaime was deceived.

After nearly forty minutes of travel, the car finally halted to a full stop.

Once Selah got out, she scanned the environment outside and was surprised to be welcomed by a magnificent and splendid villa. It looked so big and grand just for Barry to live in, and yet she could feel a trace of loneliness emanating from the building. Even just by looking at it, Selah could already feel that this place would cage her in.

"Alright. Here you are. I won't go in." Seeing that the servants had already come out to welcome Selah, Jaime bid her goodbye.

"Okay. Thank you so much, Jaime," she uttered in a soft voice before looking back at the servants, who all lined up to assist her.

"It’s nothing." With a reluctant smile, Jaime stood there for a few seconds before turning around and leaving.

"Miss Shen," Hester walked up to her and said, "Mr. Gu will be discharged from the hospital today. He won't be back until noon, but he asked us to assist you with whatever you need."

"Okay, thank you." With her handbag hanging on her forearm, Selah followed Hester into the villa.

If the exterior was already breathtaking, the interior was definitely out of this world. Never had Selah imagined that she would live in such a grand home. After visiting the second floor, which housed all the bedrooms, Selah pointed at the second room and asked, "Can I stay here?"

"Sure."

Meanwhile, back in the hospital, Lucas tried to persuade Barry to stay in the hospital for a bit longer. But the latter just insisted on being discharged. However, Mary called Barry and told him that he must stay at home and not go back to the company. So, he went back to the villa. Although he felt utterly spineless, he was more than happy to think that Mary cared so much about him.

"Mr. Gu, Miss Shen has moved into the villa."

"Okay." Barry nodded in the backseat and said, "By the way, Robert, please tell everyone that Selah will stay in the villa for a while. As for her identity, I don't want anyone to ask me about it."

"Yes, Mr. Gu."

When they finally reached the villa, Barry was assisted out of the car. After that, he immediately walked in and ascended the stairs straight to the second floor, where he saw Selah busy unpacking her things.

He was about to head back to his bedroom to have a rest, but he suddenly noticed Selah was occupying the second bedroom. His eyes suddenly contracted, and a burst of anger emerged from the depths of his heart.

"Who let you move into this room? Stop whatever you're doing!" His voice thundered, striking the entire villa in shock.

Selah almost jolted in surprise and was frozen to her feet. Slowly, she turned to look at Barry, who now bore a livid face, and tried to say something, "I..." "Fuck off!" Barry strode forward, kicked the bags and suitcases that Selah had put at the door before angrily walking into the room. He swept away all the cosmetics that she had just placed on the dressing table with both his hands.

Several cracking sounds resounded one after another, signaling that a lot of bottles—probably her perfumes--had been shattered to pieces.

Hearing this, Selah hurried into the room. Immediately, her lips trembled, and eyes widened in utter shock.
