Love Contract novel Chapter 38

It was afternoon when William received a call. The wedding photography studio called and informed him that the photos from the wedding had already been sorted out and could be claimed anytime. Originally, it was Timothy who had the idea to have photos of their wedding taken professionally. Nevertheless, William couldn't help being a little excited when their photos came out.

He hung up the call and thought about his remaining appointments for the day. If he went to get the photo album before picking up Mary at the shooting site, he would have enough time to show her the photos.

He wrapped up his work and bid a quick goodbye to Kevin before he rushed to the wedding photography studio.

On the shooting site of the Past of Republic of China.

"Director," Summer's assistant approached the director and said, "We have an appointment tonight. Would it be possible to leave now?"

"Let me check it first," the director flipped through the script and said, "Alright. You may also tell her substitute to go. The rest are all men's scenes." "Noted. Thank you, director."

"Okay." The director dismissed her with a wave of his hand. He then turned around and shouted, "Hurry up, next scene!"

Mary was sitting in a corner and having a conversation with Victor.

"You don't need to come to me several times a day," Mary grumbled. "Why don't you use your breaks to rest instead of coming to chat with me?"

"I was afraid you'll get bored." Victor smiled charmingly.

"I'll never be bored," Mary answered. "As a supervisor, it won't seem right if I'll be seen chatting with you often. If the director sees us and decides to punish me, my bonus will be on the line."

"He won't punish you because I'm with you." Victor did not take her warning seriously; he then asked, out of the blue, "You told me your mother was sick the other day. How's her condition now?"

Mary slightly lowered her head, a sad smile on her lips. She tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear and said after a short pause, "She's still the same."

Seeing how sad she became, Victor inwardly kicked himself for being too insensitive. Just as he was about to apologize, he heard someone calling him.

"Then... I'll get going now."

"It's alright. Go ahead." Mary nodded.

When William arrived at the studio, the staff recognized him even without introducing himself.

"Mr. Lan, please follow me."

"Okay." William nodded in acknowledgment before following the assistant.

"Here is your photo album. Please check it to see if we have left out anything or if it would be up to your satisfaction."

With his big, strong hands, William picked up the thick and heavy photo album. On the cover was a photo of him and Mary.

He gently caressed the faces of the two people in the photo with his slender fingers. They were both gorgeous. He opened the album slowly, perusing each page of beautiful and festive photos one by one. Now, he felt like he finally understood the need to take photos of their wedding day. Seeing these photos was like looking back at the sweet memories from the past.

"Mr. Lan, are you satisfied with the album?" The shop assistant couldn't help but ask when he saw that William's attention was fully captivated by the photos. "Yes, I am. Well done." William closed the photo album and nodded gently.

"I'm glad to hear that," the shop assistant politely smiled. "When will you be available? There are three outdoor photo sessions that need to be shot."

"I'll confirm with my wife when I get home." "Okay."

Bearing the photo album in his hand, William walked out of the studio under the appreciative gaze of a group of pretty saleswomen. He was excited to show the album to Mary.

What expression would she have on her beautiful face while looking at it? Shy? It was improbable, because a simpleton like her would be shameless enough to say 'good job' after seeing it, wouldn't she?

"Ha, ha." William chuckled to himself at the mental picture that he composed of Mary. He stepped on the gas and sped towards the shooting site.

The site was in a bit of chaos when he arrived. The director shouted, "You little bastard, why were you running around?! You can take a look. Look at what you've done! You ruined everything, it was such a good scene!"

The group of people were trembling in fear. The director continued to reprimand the young man, a choreman, and said, "This scene needs to be broadcast tomorrow. What can I do now?! Do you want me to put a mask on the scene? !"

When Mary took a look at the scene, it was apparently a scene where Victor and Summer were face to face. It was supposed to be a heartwarming confession scene, but when the two of them hugged each other, the choreman ran over from one side so the scene was ruined. It was no wonder the director was so enraged he jumped to his feet.

"Go and find Summer for me. Then I won't give you more trouble than you already have!"

"Director, director, I really didn't mean it!" The choreman apologized with an agonized look on his face. He seemed sincere.

Mary involuntarily rubbed her nose. She shouldn't interfere with other people's professional work. Moreover, she understood that it was necessary to keep the quality of her company's work. It was really difficult to deal with such a big dilemma.

"Director," Victor spoke up just when everyone was losing hope. "It would only take a few seconds, we can shoot it again."

"That's easy for you to say. Where can I find a substitute at this time? !"

"We have a substitute right here." Out of nowhere, Victor pointed at Mary.

All eyes went to the direction where Victor pointed. Mary was suddenly scared.

"What are you talking about? Are you crazy?" Mary burst out angrily, "I don't know how to act. You... Are you kidding me?"

"What?" The director looked at Mary from head to toe. Apparently, he was satisfied with what he saw, so he clapped his hands and said, "Okay!"

"No, no, no! I can't do that!" Mary quickly waved her hands in refusal.

"It's just a few seconds. Your face won't even appear in the camera." The director instructed, "Adjust the camera angle and we can start soon. Mary, look around you. You're the only woman who is as elegant as Bella out of all the women on this site!"

"Yes," said Victor. "You can give it a try. It's funny."
