Love Contract novel Chapter 104

"I heard everything," Frank said, walking up to him slowly.

"Frank." William was in a dilemma. "I wanted you to return with me, but I think I'll have to go myself."

"It's alright," said Frank, smiling. "I'll go back as soon as I deal with this matter here. It's time for me to break up with Nancy."

"Can you?" William asked doubtfully.

"Don't worry," Frank said, patting William's shoulder. "My father is a good man, but no one will be able to stop us once I return."

"Yes," William said, nodding, and hugged Frank.

"I'm looking forward to that day." Frank returned the hug before patting William on the back and pulling away. "You'd better go back now. Something has happened in the company and if it continues, we'll be left with no money."

William shrugged. "Then tell your parents that I'm leaving."

"Okay." Frank then watched as William turned and walked away, disappearing through the hospital corridors, and then turned back to the ward.

William left the hospital and rushed to the airport.

"Hello," he said to the lady behind the airport ticket counter. "Are there any tickets to A City available for today?"

"Please wait a moment, sir," the saleslady said, smiling cordially. She tapped on the keyboard and searched for a while before she looked over at him apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, sir. The tickets are sold out."

"What about tomorrow?" William asked

desperately.

She nodded. "The earliest we have available for tomorrow is ten o'clock in the morning. Is that okay?"

William frowned, but he knew he couldn't do anything. So he said, "Okay," bought the ticket, and went to the waiting room where he would sit and work till his flight came on.

William first called Adam. "Hello? Mr, Chen."

"William," Adam answered anxiously. "Look, what's wrong with that guy, Victor? The stock price of the company has suddenly dropped by several percentage points. Do you want me to pay for it?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen," William said apologetically. "I'm abroad at the moment. Can I discuss this with you when I come back? I'll be returning tomorrow."

"Sure. I'll wait for you to come back."

William hung up and called Victor again.

The phone rang for a long time before he heard Victor's lazy voice. "Hello?"

"Victor!" William barked into the phone, gritting his teeth.

"Oh! Mr. Lan! Why are you calling me?" Victor said, the smile obvious in his voice.

"Who gave you the permission to make such decisions? If you want to quit the show business, I won't stop you, but if you don't listen to me, you're going to make things really difficult. Tell me, why did you quit showbiz?"

"Why, you ask?" Victor paused, before asking, "Don't you know? I thought my intentions were obvious enough!"

"Mary? For her?" William said uncertainly.

"Yes! I like her. I love her. She said she didn't like people from the entertainment industry. So I chose to quit," Victor said firmly.

I love her...

William's hand tightened over the phone, his knuckles whitening. "Don't you think it's improper for you to say that you love my wife in front of me?"

"Is she really your wife? She is just a fake wife you bought with money! It won't be long before I get Mary, William!"

William's face darkened and his eyes glinted frighteningly. "Then you try it!"

"Look forward to it!" Victor said and hung up without another word.

"Damn it!" William cursed and jabbed angrily at the phone.

Mary hesitated. "Can't you take Kevin with you?"

"Oh, Mary! There can't be a man at a bachelorette!" Jane said, exasperatedly. But a smile had crept into her voice. Mary could tell. "See, boss is on a business trip. Let's go out together. He doesn't have to know!"

"Well..." Mary said, still hesitant about this whole plan.

"Mary, you are the best! The absolute best!" Jane was excited but mellowed down a little as she said, "I really don't have anyone to accompany me. I'm afraid they will make me drunk.

You see that, don't you? You see why I want you to go with me? You're the only person in the company who treats me so well!" Jane's voice was almost begging.

"OK," Mary sighed. "Where is it? What time?"

"Mary!" Jane exclaimed. "You are so kind! I'll drive Kevin's car to pick you up tomorrow. After lunch, we'll go shopping, and then have fun in the evening!"

"Okay," Mary said, nodding.

Later, Mary rubbed her brows. She was really tired and wanted to relax.

The next day, a plane from Tokyo landed at the A City international airport.

William dialed a number as he walked out of the airport.

"Has Mr. Chen arrived?" William asked, frowning.

"Yes," Kevin said. "Mr. Chen arrived half an hour ago."

"I'll be there in a while. Tell him it's going to be just a little longer," said William. "Also, don't let Victor take any interviews."

"Okay."

William walked out of the airport to bodyguards waiting outside. They nodded respectfully at him and opened the car door for him.
