Love Contract novel Chapter 69

Mary often complained, but she clearly knew what her duty was and what she was supposed to do.

In the quiet room of the hotel, Mary took out the document that William had handed to her and read it carefully.

But something was off, she felt, as she looked it over.

This time, she had come to Hainan with William to attend the 100-day-old party held in the honor of Adam Chen's son. It was a small thing but why was this document introducing Adam Chen in such great detail?

The boss of BY Entertainment Company? The BY Entertainment Company was also a well-known big company in the film and television industry. Did it have any ties with the AJ Group? This was something she hadn't heard of before

and she was finding it difficult to figure out.

Mary flopped back on the bed in frustration, rubbing her eyes as she lost herself in thought. What would William do?

On the Coast Road, a black sports car was speeding along.

"Thank you for taking me out today, Miss Zhang, " William said from the driver's seat.

"My pleasure," Alisa said with a smile. "It's my honor to come out with you."

"I'll treat you to dinner to show my gratitude," he said, turning his head a little to look at her, one hand on the steering wheel.

"I'd like that," Alisa smiled. "Where do you want to treat me for dinner, Mr. Lan?"

"Well," William smiled, "I will have to ask you to take me to some place for a good meal."

"That's okay. How about going to a seafood restaurant here? The seafood is freshly caught from the sea," Alisa said intently.

"Okay." William nodded and accelerated to full speed, the car disappearing into the night.

The restaurant was crowded. William and Alisa were seated in a cubicle and they chatted as they ate. From politics to life ideals, William's confident, unhurried look made Alisa think that she had found a confidant.

"Waiter," William snapped his fingers and called. "One more order of shrimp balls. Pack it up and bring it to us when we leave. I need it hot."

"Okay," the waiter said, nodding politely.

"Why did you get another one?" Alisa asked.

William smiled. "Mary hasn't eaten yet. This shrimp ball is good, so I'm taking one for her."

Alisa casually stirred the porridge before her with a spoon. She lowered her head so that no one could see the expression on her face. She said, "Mr. Lan, you are so considerate to your wife."

"Really?" William said, intrigued. It looked like William hadn't noticed Alisa's expression. He smiled faintly instead and said, "It would be good if she thought so."

"She will."

After they finished eating, William looked at the packed shrimp balls with satisfaction. He could see in his mind's eye how excited Mary would become on seeing it.

"Miss Zhang, do you mind going shopping with me?"

"What do you want to buy?" Alisa asked curiously.

"I want to buy some clothes for Mary," said William, holding the door open for Alisa like a gentleman. "There is a banquet in Yalong Bay the day after tomorrow that we need to attend. I don't know how to choose clothes for a woman. So I wanted to ask you for a favor."

'You say 'a woman' in a contemptuous tone, but why are you smiling?' she thought.

"My pleasure," Alisa said, forcing a smile onto her lips. "What kind of a party is it anyway? An open-air party? On the beach?"

"Yes."

"I think a Bohemian dress will be a good choice for her," Alisa said after thinking for a while. "Do you know her size?"

"Yes," William said, but he had turned beet-red in the darkness.

He had bought clothes with Mary. It was natural that he would remember it. Besides, they had kissed and slept with each other.

"Mr. Lan? Mr. Lan?"

Alisa called. She had realized that the man sitting beside her wasn't listening to her.

"Hmm? What?" William said, startled, finally coming to his senses.

Alisa smiled and said, "It's nothing. We're about to reach the store."

William nodded.

All the lights were on in this magnificent store. Alisa watched as William picked clothes for Mary.

He looked at each of them carefully, making Alisa wonder if it was a lie that he didn't know how to choose clothes. If he bought things for someone he liked, they'd be full of his love. He didn't even need her as his counselor or a guide. Alisa sighed imperceptibly.

She had met William a year ago when he had gone on a business trip to Hainan and lived in this hotel. She had been the general manager and had taken him around for walk. But she hadn't expected to lose her heart to him.

She knew that he wasn't married and had almost jumped at the opportunity, ignoring the fact that she was usually reserved. She had wanted to express her love, but she felt it was too soon. When he had come here today, she had been prepared to tell him everything. But he had been married.

If she had told him of her feelings a year ago, would she have been the one to cause William to be so focused?
