Love Contract novel Chapter 66

One day ago, In the CEO's office of AJ Group.

"Hello? Mr. Chen." William stood in front of the French window, talking over the phone. "I've received the invitation that you've sent. Thank you for inviting me."

"Ha ha, William, do you have the time to attend?"

"It is an honor to attend the 100-day-old party of your son."

"Okay, that's great. I'll be waiting for you then."

"Thanks again," William said politely. "Can I bring my wife with me?"

"Your wife? William, when did you get married?"

"It's been half a year. You just came back from abroad, so it makes sense that you didn't know.

"Well, of course she's welcome!"

"Thank you, Mr. Chen. I'll see you then."

"Okay, okay. See you another day, William."

After dinner, William went back to his bedroom, while Mary washed the dishes. It was such a "harmonious and beautiful" scene!

Mary put everything in order, then decided to watch TV to kill time. Working on the computer everyday was taxing for her, and the best way to relax was to watch TV.

As soon as she sat on the couch, William walked out of the bedroom. His timing was perfect.

Then he seated himself next to Mary.

The sofa was two meters long, and there was a respectable distance between them. However, Mary still felt uncomfortable.

"Well, do you want to watch the news?" Mary asked blandly.

"No, it's up to you." It was rare for William to laze around the sofa.

"What?" Mary was puzzled, but she decided to continue watching the TV anyway.

The variety show on TV was playing lively, and the audience was bursting into fleets of laughter

But the situation in front of the TV was the complete opposite.

Because of the great psychological pressure that she felt, Mary had been sitting upright the entire time. It seemed as though she was watching an international news instead of a variety show. William also remained silent. When the host was playing games with the guests, the host suddenly fell to the ground by accident.

"Ha ha..." Mary burst into laughter.

"What's so funny?" William frowned at her.

Mary was so frightened that she suppressed her voice. 'Is he mad at me for laughing? He looks like I owe him a lot of money...'

"Why is it so funny? Why aren't you saying anything?" he asked once more.

"What?" Mary was confused again, and glanced at William. Instead of the angry face she expected, she saw an earnest look on William's face. She was dumbfounded. "Did you not find it funny?"

"Not at all." William pursed his lips tightly.

"When the host fell on the ground, it was funny! Wasn't it?" Mary looked at him as if he was an alien.

"Childish." "As a host, she's only interested in making fun of the contestants, regardless of the whole dynamic of the show. It's meaningless and a waste of time," William criticized.

Mary was so shocked that her chin almost fell to the ground. "Is this how you usually see TV shows?"

"I have never seen any shows before. This is the first."

"That explains it." Mary mumbled, "That's right. How could the boss of a big film have the time to watch such a program?"

"What are you mumbling about?"

"Nothing, nothing," Mary said with a sardonic smile. "If you don't like it, then don't watch it, okay? It's such a waste of your precious time anyway. Besides you're ruining my mood."

"I see. Okay," replied William, but his eyes were still locked on the TV, as if he was going to stare a hole at it.

'It looks like there's no chance to get rid of him!' Mary snickered and thought, 'At least William looks like he's worth teaching. Is he fascinated by the show now? Does he think it's funny now?'

"The stage design of this program is terrible." William spoke after a moment of not talking.

'Damn!' Mary was so shocked by what he said that she almost fell off the sofa. "You've been staring at it the whole time, and that's the conclusion you got?"

"The performances of the guests are also atrocious, and their movements are so unnatural..."

"Alright, alright, boss," Mary interrupted. "Everyone is here to watch it for fun. Don't ruin it by saying something so hurtful. " "If you continue watching this, your IQ is going to go down." William retorted as he stared at Mary.

Mary looked at him with suspicion. "What are you implying by looking at me? Why do you stare at me like that?" Mary tilted her head and looked at William. "What are you talking about? It's just a show. Besides, if it's so boring, why do you keep watching it? You're not making any sense!"

"I..."

A trace of panic flashed across William's face, and his face turned to an unnatural red. This was rare!

Mary seized the opportunity and leaned closer to him. "Tell me, are you up to something?"

"Well," said William, who quickly regained his composure. He turned his head away from her. "Is there anything I have to ask for?"

"Your words... Make sense." Mary nodded in defeat.

Ring, Ring, Ring

Mary's phone started ringing. The name displayed in the middle of the screen was obvious.

It was Victor.
