Love Contract

Chapter 115 Anger (Part Two)

"You are impossible," Lucas scoffed. "She's a little woman for Christ's sake. You aren't supposed to treat her that way even if she takes your money. You went to Japan despite everything that was happening. Since you don't care about anything here, why'd you still come back?"

"I still have some unfinished business here," William said coldly.

"Oh yeah? Like what?" Lucas sneered. "I think it's best if you just go to Norway soon. As for Mary, just get divorced with her. You're hindering her.

There are so many men waiting for her." 'Many men?'

Anger immediately arose in William's heart. In a hostile tone, he asked, "Who's waiting for her? Why are they waiting for her?"

"They want to be with her! They want to marry her!" Lucas raised his eyebrows and gazed at him.

"No!" William blurted out.

"Why not?" "Because..." William frowned. He spat, "Why do you have so many questions anyway?"

'Someone else wants to marry her? No way!'

William couldn't stand the idea of Mary being with another man.

"She will marry someone else one day and that's a fact." Lucas continued to provoke him. "Don't trap her."

"I won't!" William said through gritted teeth.

"What's your plan? Are you planning to own her for the rest of your life?" Lucas taunted.

William looked him in the eye. "And if I wanted to do that, what are you going to do about it?"

"That's not what you said last time."

"Things are different now," William said, dodging his eyes. "That was before... we did... erm... and again."

"What?" Lucas roared as he almost hurled his cup of coffee across the table. He attracted the stares of some of the customers and staff of the coffee shop.

They... Did they really do what he was thinking?

"Why are you yelling at me? Do you want the whole world to know?" William bellowed.

"William." Lucas had finally calmed down. "You bastard! Damn it! Why can't you just leave her alone? Are you insane?" He was seething.

"It's a normal thing between a man and a woman!"

"Stop making excuses." Lucas frowned. After a long pause, he hesitantly asked, "Do you even like Mary?"

His heart was pounding in his chest as he awaited William's answer.

William was visibly stunned. Like? Did he like Mary?

He enjoyed teasing her when he was around her. When he wasn't with her, he felt empty. It was almost an instinct for him to want her... Was this love?

"Why aren't you answering me?" Lucas pressed.

"I..." William pursed his lips. As his thoughts drifted away, both Sansa and Frank appeared in his mind. "How could I like her? Don't say that again."

"Alas..." Lucas sighed slightly. 'I can't help you anymore. You can solve your issues on your own. No one else can help you.'

"Well, I need to go." William glanced at his watch.

"Oh, by the way..." Lucas took a ticket out from his pocket and said, "Please give this to Mary." "What?" As William received the ticket, he saw that it was a ticket to a ski resort. "Just one? Do you want her to go by herself?"

"No." Lucas shrugged as he shoved his hands into his pockets. "I have another one here."

"..." Staring at him, William spat, "Give me that

ticket!"

"Why? No way!" Lucas waved the ticket in his hand complacently.

"Are you going to the ski resort with her?" William asked scornfully. "You... Give me that ticket!"

"I want to go too! A patient gave them to me," Lucas explained, arching his eyebrows. "Just let Mary go with me."

"Fuck off! There are so many other women in the world. Why would you want to go with her?"

"Because I want to!"

"Go to hell!" William roared as he grabbed the ticket. "I'm done being polite with you."

"Ha-ha!" Lucas shook his head, seemingly resigned. As he watched William leave, the smile on his face slowly faded.

'What if I say that I really wanted that ticket?'

William examined the tickets, checking for the date and address on them. It seemed that there was going to be a festival that weekend at the Harbin Ski Resort. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

He was quite familiar with this particular ski resort. He recalled a TV show filming one of their scenes here.

Grinning to himself, he took his phone out and dialed a number.

Ding!

He promptly walked out of the elevator.

"Hello, boss." Mary raised her head and greeted him.

"Yep." William curtly nodded at her. He handed her the ticket and said, "Here you go."

"What's this?" Mary took the ticket in confusion. "Ski resort?"

"Yes."

"I'm not going." Mary shook her head.

"You have to go," William insisted. "The manager of the ski resort specially reserved the tickets for us. He invited me and you so you have to go."

"Invite you and me? Everyone's busy at this time of the year. I don't have time."

"If you don't go, you're breaking the contract," William said arrogantly. Then he leaned over and whispered in her ear, "You're the wife of the CEO. You don't have the liberty to say no to these kinds of things."

Mary glanced at him, looking uneasy. "Will it just be the two of us?"

"Yes." William nodded vigorously.

"Okay." Mary concurred. "I see."

William had a satisfied smile pasted on his face as he walked back to his office.

"Wow..." Jane trotted to Mary and took the ticket from her hands. "Boss is so romantic. Ski resort... How romantic!"

"Ha-ha! It's just a business trip." Mary forced a smile.

"That's still great," Jane said, admiration laced in her tone. "I've heard of this festival. It only happens once a year. It's pretty hard to get tickets so you're lucky that you're going to go even if it's just a business trip."

"Really?" Mary raised her eyebrows.

She had never been to a ski resort before mostly because she didn't like the cold, she was lazy, and she didn't have any money. The thought of going excited her but when she remembered that she was going with William...

Alas... Mary sighed, not saying a word.

In the Intoxicating South Restaurant, Frank was having a cup of tea in a private room.

"Mr. Liang, what can I do for you?" a young man said, sitting across Frank.

"I want you to investigate them." Frank gave him a photo of William and Mary.

"The CEO of AJ Group and his wife?" The young man arched his eyebrows.

"Yes." Frank nodded. "I want you to follow them and report to me every single thing. I don't want you to miss out any details."

Then he took out a check.

When the young man saw the amount written on the check, he snickered. "Don't worry, Mr. Liang. I won't let you down."

"Good." Frank nodded and closed his eyes.
