Love Contract novel Chapter 366

The next day, Ena went to the company to meet with her agent and directors and see if they had any suitable scripts for her.

As it turned out, they did have something. "There is a historical play, 'Legend of Empress Dugu'. It's about the life of Galois Dugu, the empress to the first emperor of Sui Dynasty. I wonder if you are able to play this role."

Ena read through the script and learned that the title character was a woman of a nomad tribe. She was beautiful, charming, bold and honest. And she also possessed elegance, wisdom, tenderness and thoughtfulness. What drew Ena to it even more though, was that she had been exemplary all her life. She had achieved a great deal in politics and shared a deep, meaningful relationship with the emperor. If Ena could pull this performance off, it would do wonders for her career.

'TH take it!" she announced with steely determination and focus, pounding on the table.

Once Victor had heard the news, he said, "Ena, I know you want to make progress in your career, but why do you have to work so hard right now?"

Ena just blinked in response and said nothing back. She was plotting her own path in her mind. 'Victor, Victor, I'm going to work hard to gain a huge success, just you watch and see!'

Victor almost finished shooting his movie when Ena's TV series had only begun. So the two of them couldn't see each other very often.

One day, Victor was bored and went to the CEO's office visiting William, and happened to find Lucas there as well, so they all had a chat.

"Long time no see, Victor!" Lucas sat on the desk with a playful look on his face. "Seeing you here is quite a rare occasion. Is this because Ena is working and you have no one to keep you company?"

"What about you? What's the big case Jazlyn is on again?" Victor asked, casting a cold glance at Lucas.

"Humph..." Lucas then turned to William and said, "I really envy you William."

"What's so good about me? I'm no different from the both of you." With a hint of frustration, William continued, "Recently, Mary came home later than I did. It's all Barry's fault. He stays home all day with Selah and leaves the entire company to Mary. She's been so exhausted lately!"

Victor dropped himself down on the sofa and raised his eyebrows. "I miss the times when Ena would be waiting for me at home!"

"I know what you mean!" Lucas jumped from the desk eagerly and said, "It used to be that the men made the money and the women stayed at home. Why do these women all want to be strong and independent these days?"

William nodded in agreement. "It's better for them to stay at home. When they're out, just think about all the men looking at them with bad intentions and filthy thoughts. That's what I'm worried about!"

"The more you talk about that, the more I feel like something is wrong," Victor said with a deep frown. "Ena seemed in a real hurry to take the role in this 'Legend of Empress Dugu'. She'd only just recovered, why was she rushing to get back to work? It's a little strange if you ask me." "Ena is such a motivated young lady," William said with a smile as if he was pleased with himself. "Our employees seem to be all very hardworking." "No! No! No!" Lucas objected. He seemed to know something. "I think Ena is going to teach you a lesson," he said with a smirk.

"What sort of lesson?" Victor asked. He was confused, not following where Lucas was going with this. He and Ena had been enjoying each other's love. They were in absolute bliss of late.

"I think she will find you a rival in love. Ha ha..." Lucas burst into laughter.

"Shut up!" Victor responded. He was unamused by his joke. He got to his feet suddenly and said in a voice laden with anger, "I have to go now."

"Are you going to the studio city?" William smiled, poking fun at Victor.

"I'm not that bored!" Victor snorted, striding out of the office.

"Ha ha..." Lucas was still smiling mischievously and said to William, "I think we've made Victor a little anxious. He should have made his relationship with Ena public!"

"He's been keeping it under wraps for the sake of her career." Stroking his nose, William continued, "But, I'm afraid that it won't be long till Victor lets everyone know."
