Love Contract with CEO novel Chapter 52

With a wry smile, Mary covered her face and said, "I'm so useless, Victor."

"What do you mean 'useless'?" Victor was a little bit angry, "Do you think you are useless just because you are hurt by him? Where is your backbone? Mary, when did you become like this? !"

"I don't know," said Mary, looking ahead with empty eyes. "I thought I was strong... I take care of my sick mother and do several part-time jobs. I could even endure the humiliation I suffered when I first come to the AJ Group. However, the appearance of William have made me collapse. The toughness that I am proud of was shattered by his cold eyes..."

"Mary, how much do you love him?" said Victor, clenching his fists and gritting his teeth? Is that guy worth your tears?"

"Not only for him, but also for my own sad life." Mary took a deep breath and said, "If I hadn't met you by chance today, I wouldn't have said these words to anyone. Am I pathetic that I don't even have a friend who can speak?"

"Am I not your friend?" Victor reached out his hand and rubbed Mary's head. "If you have anything to say in the future, just tell me. I don't have friends either."

"Victor..." As soon as Mary raised her head, she seemed to see a different emotion in Victor's eyes.

"Mary," said Victor with a frown, "Are you crying so sadly for the affair between William and Frank? You know it?"

Mary shook and her lips trembled, "You, Victor, you..."

"I have known it for a long time." Victor pursed his lips, restrained the hatred and pain in his eyes, and said, "About them."

Mary's face turned pale, "You... Have you known everything?"

"I knew it long time ago. In fact, I don't feel anything as long as I know it." Victor looked into the distance and said, "You will not be so sad if you listen to my story."

"Really?"

"Yeah." Victor sat up straight, fastened his seat belt, stepped on the gas and the car sped away at once. "I'll take you to a quiet place. There are some words that need to be said slowly."

Mary nodded silently, speechless all the way.

Did everyone know it but only she was kept in the dark? She was not the appropriate one at all. It was because of her "stupidity" that William signed the contract with her?

In a private club in the People's Square of A-city, Victor led Mary to a private box.

"Do you want to eat something?" Asked Victor.

"No, thanks." Mary shook her head. She was not in the mood to eat now.

"It's so boring to listen to the story only. Only some desserts will bring us more happiness." As Victor spoke, he said to the well-trained waiters beside him, "Two macaroons, one cappuccino and one orange juice."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

Looking out of the window, Mary saw people coming and going in the square, and the beach in front of the square was full of people. Many people were going into the water in the early Summer.

The desserts were served soon. The waiter quietly closed the door, leaving enough private space for the two.

"They are gay. I have already known it." Victor said slightly, "But you have found it before I tell you."

Mary held the cup tighter unconsciously.

"You didn't know anything about William and Frank, did you?"

"No, I didn't." Mary nodded.

"I was wrong about you. I thought you were working together with William and Frank. Then I found out that you are the most innocent rabbit."

"Ah..." 'No wonder Victor said I have a strong taste when we first met. No wonder he kept asking me whether I knew about Frank or not. It turns out that there are reasons, ' Mary thought.

"Do you want to know what happened between me and them?" "Why do I dislike William?" asked Victor in a low and hoarse voice

"Yes, I do." Mary nodded.

"I just started my career five years ago. At that time, I didn't notice anything," said Victor with a bitter smile. "I played all kinds of small roles, accepted all kinds of small advertisements, and even did such jobs as drinking with others."

Mary frowned. She had known something like this as she has joined AJ Group for three years, but she didn't expect that Victor had also joined at that time. "When I joined AJ Group, you were already a big star."

"Well, you joined AJ Group too late." With a smile on his face, Victor said, "I played a bit role for a year. As for the chance, I remember that it was on the new year's evening four years ago. My assistant told me that there was a job for me. I didn't want to go, but he said that William was also there."
