Love Contract novel Chapter 89

What William had said reassured Mary, and made her feel moved.

Although he might not even be able to protect himself from his father, what he said made him a good man.

She smiled bitterly. Yes, he was a good man so he said something like that. However, such protection had nothing to do with love.

The rain had just stopped and it made the road slightly slippery. William drove slowly and cautiously on the way to the company.

"Can you drive a little faster?" asked Mary anxiously. "Otherwise, we're going to be late again!"

"Safety first. Ahem."

"But," said Mary as she shook her head, "When I was in the Public Relations Department, I've never been late for three years. After becoming the wife of the CEO, I became lazy too."

William chuckled. "Well, you know your identity is different. So what if you're late?"

"Easy for you to say! I don't want others to think I'm lazy because I'm in power," said Mary, pretending to be aggrieved, "when in fact I have to listen to someone so..."

"So?"

"So don't deduct my salary for being late this time."

William was speechless.

As expected, there was a traffic jam when they arrived at the downtown area. It was already half past eight when they arrived at the company.

Mary wanted to sneak into the company like a thief. Unfortunately, employees greeted her with smiles along the way.

"Good morning, Mrs. Lan."

"Hello, Mrs. Lan."

"Mary is late again!"

William put his hand in his pocket. He followed Mary slowly.

Ding Dong!

As soon as the elevator reached the 32nd floor, Mary rushed out angrily.

"Good morning, boss!" Jane stood up and greeted her boss.

"Uh." William just nodded and walked into his office. "Mary, you are late again!" Jane grinned.

"Well," said Mary, putting her bag on the desk, "there is a reason."

"Are you really pregnant? Mary, tell me the truth. Don't lie to me!"

"Of course not!" Mary waved her hand dismissively. "Yesterday, we went back to the family house, a villa in the suburbs. It's far away so we arrived late today."

"Oh my God!" Jane covered her mouth in surprise. "Is the boss's family house in R Town?"

R Town, located in the southeast suburb of A City, was the most luxurious villa district in the city. Because of the advantageous position and beautiful environment, the rich and powerful people in the city all lived there.

"I... I don't know, but the car did head southeast." Mary scratched her head and was startled. Had she been to the most expensive place in A City?

"It must be!" Jane asked in surprise, "Is the CEO's house splendid? How many floors are there in the villa? Is there a swimming pool?"

"Well," said Mary, "it looks like an imposing four -story villa, but I was not able to walk around it. It has a garden though."

"Oh my God!" Jane looked forward to it. "Mary, what do you feel about living in the upper class?"

"I am often trembling, feeling like I was walking on thin ice."

"Really?" Jane put on a suspicious look and asked, "Shouldn't you be very happy? You can enjoy yourself. You don't need to worry about anything else."

"That's just the surface." Mary shook her head. "My spirit will be eventually destroyed. It's true that you should marry someone of the same social rank with you. For example, you and Kevin look so sweet, right? By the way, I didn't see Kevin yesterday."

"He..." Jane said unhappily, "he is on a business trip."
