Love Contract novel Chapter 68

As soon as the two of them got off the plane in Sanya City, they felt the unique tropical atmosphere of Hainan Island.

There were already people waiting for them at the airport—well-trained men dressed in all black. 'I love being rich, ' Mary thought to herself.

Along the way, she spotted a spectacle—a crowd was watching the tide. Needless to say, she was hyped up. "Can I go out tonight? I want to check out the seaside."

"Have you finished reading the document?" William glanced at her.

"Do I really need to do that today?" Mary whined.

"You can go out tonight."

"Really?" Mary's eyes lit up.

"But you should go out with me."

A shadow immediately cast over Mary's face. She faltered, "I think I'm still tired from the flight. I think I have to rest tonight. I'm so exhausted."

"This is an order." 'An order again!' she scoffed inwardly. She bit her lips in frustration. All it took was for him to declare something was an order to get her to do something. Wasn't he getting tired of this?

"Looks like you aren't willing to do this." William raised his head.

"No, no," Mary replied perfunctorily. 'Why should I go out with you? Will I gain anything from it?' she thought. The look on his face was unfathomable but his charm worked like a spell on women. She was trapped. She couldn't protest, object, or even be jealous. What was she supposed to do?

The unhappiness on her face was undeniable which made William feel helpless. He didn't know much about women but all the other women he'd met before seemed to be happy to go out with him.

'But Mary, you don't really want to be with me. Do you still hate me? Or have you truly fallen in love with Victor already?'

Just the mere thought of this made him go crazy. How could Mary be in love with him?

"No, you can't!"

"What? Can't do what?" Mary asked, visibly at a loss. Her initial excitement had faded away.

"Nothing," William said in a huff.

"Mr. Lan and Mrs. Lan, we're here." "All right." Then William got out of the car. Mary followed him, a blank look on her face.

"Wow!" She exclaimed upon seeing the hotel. "This hotel is luxurious!"

The hotel was conveniently located near the beach. It was designed to look like the Sydney Opera House or a sailboat. The hotel was surrounded by two large parks—one in front and one behind. Mary was in awe as she looked around—the green coconut trees, the exquisite stone road, and all the details that added up to the hotel's charm.

"Wow, so many cars!" Mary glanced at the hotel gate. "Lamborghini, Cayenne, BMW, Mercedes Benz... Fe...Ferrari! Oh my God!"

William couldn't help but notice Mary ogle over the car.

He asked coldly, "You like Ferraris?" "Do you have one?" She turned to look at William expectantly. Who knows when else she could meet a wealthy man like William? She might as well enjoy herself!

"I can have one if I want to," William simply said, raising his eyebrows.

"Mr. Lan, you're here!"

A lovely-looking woman came from the hotel door. She seemed to be their welcoming party. Her hair was coiled up high. She wore high heels that she paired with a bright-colored slip dress. She seemed chic as she walked up to William, a beautiful smile on her face

Anyone who saw her would instantly think how much of a beauty she was. She looked noble and elegant. Mary suddenly felt embarrassed.

"Miss Zhang." William nodded and shook hands with her.

"Mr. Lan, you're finally here. How was your trip?" the woman asked. Her voice was pleasant-sounding.

"It was fine." William nodded.

"This way, please."

"Okay."

Mary couldn't help but notice how blatantly she had just been ignored.

"Oh." William suddenly stopped and said, "By the way, I forgot to introduce her to you."

"Hmm?"

"This is my wife, Mary," said William, taking Mary's hand gently.

"Wi...Wife?" The woman had a look of disbelief on her face. "Mr. Lan, you got married?"

"Yes, not long ago." William nodded.

"Hello," Mary greeted her with a perfectly polite smile.

"Hello." The woman quickly collected herself. Still smiling pleasantly, she explained, "I'm the manager of this hotel, Alisa Zhang."

"Nice to meet you." Mary nodded.

"This way, please. Follow me." Alisa then stretched out her arm as she made her way inside the hotel lobby.

"Okay."

"Mrs. Lan, have you ever been here before?" Alisa Zhang asked, trying to hide the bitterness in her heart.

"No, it's my first time here." Mary held William's arm and said with a smile, "Your hotel's amazing! It's really beautiful!"

The three of them took the sightseeing elevator. It allowed them to get a good view of everything —the beach, the park, the sceneries.

"Oh thank you, Mrs. Lan," Alisa Zhang said with a smile. "You have an excellent view of the beach and the entire Hainan Island from your suite. I'm sure you will enjoy it."

"That's great."

When they arrived at the presidential suite at the 10th floor of the hotel, Alisa stopped at the door and said, "Mr. Lan and Mrs. Lan, please rest well. I'll leave you two alone now. If you need anything, please don't hesitate to call me."
