Chapter 20 Sidewalk Snack Booth
When they arrived at the entrance of the hotel, Mary put her hand on her chest. She still felt unreal when her feet fell on the ground, as if she was stepping on cotton, and the surrounding buildings were shaking.
"Ew, ew..." Mary couldn't help but retch.
"What's wrong? Are you okay?" Unexpectedly, the first one to speak was Victor. He hurriedly held onto the arm of Mary.
Mary stood up and said with a smile, "I'm fine. It's okay... Maybe I was scared."
"Useless." All of a sudden, William said in a cold voice. He dragged Mary to the hotel and let Victor alone.
"What are you doing?" Mary had no choice but to be dragged inside by him.
Ignoring stunned people around them, William kept walking for granted.
Until the two of them came to the room, the scalp of Mary was stiff.
'We had slept together in the old house. It was not a big deal. Yes, it was not a big deal.' Mary kept comforting herself.
"What are you doing?" Looking at her absent-minded mind, William asked, "If you feel uncomfortable, go to bed. Why are you in a daze?!" "What? Nothing, nothing..." Mary held her bag and shook her head.
"Go and lie down," said William, frowning. "You have to attend the opening ceremony tomorrow. You can't go there with your sick body." "Okay, fine." "You are such a devil, William! I'm sick, but you are still thinking about your power on ceremony!' Mary thought to herself! She looked around and found there was only one bed. Mary's eyes lit up.
'If you let me have a rest, I'll take a rest. Anyway, there's only one bed. I will sleep on the only one bed!'
Mary jumped onto the bed, trying to calm herself down by sleeping.
"Ahem..." William had a cough unconsciously, "Do you want me to buy some medicine for you?"
'Why are you so kind?" "No, thanks. I'll be fine after a rest." Mary thought in the quilt and said.
After waiting for a long time, she still didn't hear any movement from William.
Then William took out his laptop and started to work.
After a long time, Mary heard a faint phone call.
"Hello?" William took the phone and said, "How are you here in Shanghai? where? Okay, okay, okay..."
Mary was annoyed. Why did she have a good hearing at this time and could still hear the faint smile in William's words. After a rustling sound, the door was pushed open and William came out with a bang.
All of a sudden, Mary stood up and opened her eyes.
It was already dark.
Mary put her hand on her forehead and got out of bed.
'Is he go out not for business, the William?
Thinking of this, Mary felt guilty of prying into other people's privacy.
'Well, forget it. Why do you think so much? You'd better comfort your stomach that have been empty for a long time.'
After tidying up, Mary tiptoed out of the room.
As soon as she opened the door, she found that the opposite door was also opening.
Mary was annoyed, 'The hotel's design was too unreasonable. Why were the doors on both sides facing each other?! I have to give them advice!'
When she looked up, she found that it was victor!
Victor was wearing casual clothes, a cap on his head, and a pair of sunglasses, which was a typical full set of equipment to hide himself from paparazzi. His eyes just swept over Mary.
"Well... What a coincidence," said Mary, "It's so late. Where are you going?"
"It's so boring and so I will go out." Said Victor with a faint smile.
"Yes, yes," nodded Mary, "I just woke up and felt too stuffy, so I want to go out for a walk."
"Together?" Victor raised his eyebrows.
"Ah... Okay." After hesitating for a while, Mary nodded.
"On the plane... "Thank you," said Mary, "I haven't formally thanked you."
"How about inviting me to dinner?"
Suddenly, a playful smile appeared on Victor's face, with his white teeth and curved eyes. Mary was caught off guard and almost lost in his smile.
Realizing that she was in a daze, Mary quickly smiled and said, "Okay, no problem. What do you want to eat?"
"The sidewalk snack booth."
The two sat in the sidewalk snack booth, with beer in their left hand and barbecue in their right hand.
Mary smiled happily. She was no longer restrained. She raised her glass and said, "You satisfied me very much. I don't like Western restaurants the most. It's too depressing. The best restaurant is the sidewalk snack booth... Come on, drink it!"
"Ha ha," said Victor, raising his glass and laughing happily as well. "Drink it!"
"One more toast. Thank you for comforting me on the plane."
"Okay, I'll accompany you today!"
The two of them had eaten much food, and no more food could go into their stomach after they stopped.
In order to find other food, the two of them came to the Bund.
There were not many people outside here at this time.
The two walked in the sea breeze.
"I really know you again, Victor." Mary smiled.
"Ah? What did you mean?'
"I used to think about how to deal with your peach blossom debts, and I thought you were a bad boy who would only make trouble." after a pause, Mary said, "It turns out that you are also a good person." "Now you must know that I'm an unprocessed jade, right?" With a smile at the corners of Victor's mouth, he asked, "Are we friends now?"
"Of course," said Mary jokingly, "You have drunk and eaten meat with me. You are my friend now."
"Well," said Victor with a smile at the corners of his mouth, "Then you can come to me whenever you want to drink and eat meat in the future." "Ha ha, no problem!"
The two didn't go back until the sea wind blew on them and made them feel a little cold.
As soon as they entered the hall of the hotel, they found that William was sitting in a corner with a cold face.
His aura was too strong. Although he was just sitting quietly, he made Mary feel extremely cold, which was much stronger than the Bund!
'Did he wait for me on purpose?"!
Thinking of this, Mary gave a self-mocking smile. How could it be possible?'
"You... William, why are you here?" "Are you waiting for someone?" Mary stepped to William and asked.
"Well!"
Hearing that, William raised his head all of a sudden. He stared at Mary coldly, with anger in his eyes. "Mary, who do you think I'm waiting for?!"
Mary watched him stand up slowly, gnashing his teeth as if he was going to bite himself to pieces. 'Is he really waiting for me? Today, I must be in extreme danger...'
"Yes, you are waiting for me?" Mary felt numb on the scalp and said falteringly "I was too hungry, so I went out for dinner..."
"Dinner? Do you know what time it is now?!" With his hands in his pockets, William said casually, "It's twelve o'clock."
Victor wanted to come up to say something. But when he thought of his own position, he was afraid that the more he tried to mediate the situation, the more chaotic it would be. He had no choice but to stay silent.
Several other persons in the hall looked in their direction curiously.
"Let's go back first. Let's go back first to talk about it," said Mary, tugging at his sleeve. "There are so many persons watching us. Let's go back to talk about it."00000☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
