Chapter 31 Stiff Relationship
'I lost my temper and even myself was shocked.
I am afraid that I would fall in love with William, or in other words, I'm afraid that my love will be deeper and deeper.
From now on, I can't be very close to him, I can't bear his love, I can't talk to him as if nothing had happened, and I can't joke with him unscrupulously.
He is the CEO, and I am the main force; he is the boss, and I am an employee.
I just hope that this year will pass as soon as possible.
Mary Lu.'
At lunch time, William ordered takeout. It seemed that he wouldn't leave the office for a whole day.
"Sister Mary," Jane asked in confusion, "Are you really the wife of the CEO?"
"Well... Yes. I am." Mary was confused.
"Then why didn't the boss order takeout for you?"
"Oh," said Mary with a bitter smile, lowering her head. "In the company, he is the CEO and I am the assistant. There is no husband and wife."
"Wow," Jane was shocked, "It's really a big company. How disciplined it is!"
'She is so cute.' Mary thought.
"Sister Mary, let's go to have lunch together. Okay?"
"Okay, let's go." Mary packed up the documents and stood up.
"Ha ha, you are so kind, Sister Mary," Jane said in a chirpy voice, "I'm starving to death!"
Standing in the elevator, Mary raised her head unconsciously, only to meet the cold eyes of William in the office. She was startled and quickly closed the elevator door. The blurred face of William shrank until it disappeared.
"Jane," the two chatted while eating and Mary asked, "How long have you been in the company?"
"It's been three days," said Jane, full of food in her mouth. "When I came here, you were on a business trip with the CEO."
"Well, I see it." Mary nodded, "If you are not used to it, just tell me."
"Thank you," Jane nodded like a chicken pecking rice, "Thank you, Sister Mary. Don't mention how happy I am when I'm here in AJ Group."
"Really?" Mary smiled, "How happy are you?"
"I'm just very happy," said Jane seriously. "I've inquired about it a long time ago. Everyone in the company praised you, Sister Mary. They all said that you are a good person, and then I'm relieved." "Really?" Raising her eyebrows, Mary thought she was doing well in the company.
"Of course it's true," Jane continued, "But as for the CEO, tut tut..."
Jane shook her head and sighed, which made Mary laugh. "What's wrong with the CEO?"
"Sister Mary, don't blame me for saying it."
"I won't."
"Then I'll say it," Jane push her head close and said meticulously, "When I searched the company's information online, many people in the forum said that the CEO was a gay." "Gay?!" Mary was startled. She had never heard such a rumor. "Nonsense!"
"Ha ha," Jane suddenly laughed, "I also think it's nonsense. Don't you see that the CEO's wife is right in front of me?"
"It's so boring to go to work, so let's gossip."
"Of course," Jane said firmly. "Now, as long as a man is good-looking and doesn't have close relationship with girls, he will be mistaken as a gay."
"Well..." "How could this happen?" Mary touched his forehead.
"Yes," Jane suddenly said with an ambiguous expression, "Whether the CEO is a gay or not? You have the right to speak most, Sister Mary." "Me?" Mary was confused.
"Yes," Jane covered her mouth and snickered, "How's the CEO's skill in bed?"
"Ahem..." Mary was choked by the rice and kept coughing. How could a little girl be so open now? "You..."
"Sister Mary, you get shy! ha-ha!" Jane laughed.
Even after work, Mary didn't say a word to William.
Mary went home by taxi alone and she even didn't desire to have meals. She closed the door and went to bed early. She knew that William wouldn't come back. The schedule for the company, hospital, apartment, convenience store for a day was full. If Mary could avoid meeting with William, she would be happy anyway.
Mary thought that William must hate her very much. He must thought the 'wife' he chose was the safest, but he did not expect that she would bring him so much trouble and worries. 'I'd better get rid of him before I fall in love with him deeply.'
It had been three days since the two of them had avoided each other. Either Mary had been avoiding William, or William had been avoiding Mary. It was just that Kevin had suffered a lot and had been the contact of the two every day.
"I'm dying..." Kevin walked out of the office weakly.
"What's wrong?" Mary asked. Kevin had done everything these two days. She felt sorry for him.
"Mr. William asked me to go to the shooting site!" Kevin has a bitter look on his face. "For three days in a row, I only slept three hours a day. William still asked me to go to the site for waiting. It would kill me! " "Then you have to 'devote yourself to death'!" Jane gloated.
"You bad girl, why are you making me angry?"
Jane stuck out her tongue naughtily.
"Kevin," said Mary after thinking for a while, "Let me go there for you."
"Really?!" Kevin's eyes lit up.
"Yes, it's true. I don't have much work to do recently," nodded Mary. "You go and tell the CEO. I'll go on behalf of you."
"Sister Mary, why do you help him?" Jane pouted.
"Jane, don't interrupt us." Kevin was turning to Mary. "Mary. We have made a deal. You need to help me. I'll treat you to meals later." "Okay, no problem." "Which site?" Mary asked with a smile.
"The Past of Republic of China. Their shooting in Shanghai is about to end, and they will come back to A-city to shoot."
"Okay." Mary nodded, "How long will I stay there?"
"About a week."
One week. Well, that's good. 'I don't have to face William for a week.' Mary breathed a sigh of relief.
"Clang! Clang! Clang"
"Please come in." Without raising his head, William knew who it was.
"Mr. William," Kevin said with a guilty conscience, "Mary told me that she had nothing to do recently, so she wants to go to the shooting site... She volunteered to supervise the shooting." Hearing that, William's hand, which was writing, paused. He raised his head and said expressionlessly, "Okay, I see."
"Well..." Now it was Kevin's turn to be confused. He didn't expect that the CEO was so easy-going today.
"Anything else?" Asked William, frowning as he saw that Kevin hadn't leave.
"Well, Mr. William, did you quarrel with Mary?" Kevin asked after thinking for a while.
As expected, when hearing this, the expression on William's face immediately changed.
"Is it because of the contract?" Kevin continued, "It shouldn't be like that. I read the contract at that time. There shouldn't be any problem with it."
"Kevin!" William interrupted him and said with both joke and warning, "I think you are very gossipy. How about I call the periodical office and recommend you to be a paparazzo? You will get big news every day What do you think?!"
"Ah!" Kevin screamed in horror, "Boss, I... I just said it casually... It suddenly occurred to me that I still have a lot of work to do. Well, I won't disturb you, boss! "
After saying that, he ran out of the office without waiting for William to speak.
William snorted and looked at Mary subconsciously.
He hated her a little. Why did she say those words that day? He had been upset and self-righteous for a few days! 'Don't expect me to fall in love with you!' "Tinkle, tinkle, tinkle..."
All of a sudden, the phone rang. Looking at the number, William felt even more perturbed. It was another troublesome guy.
"Hello? Why are you calling me?" There was a trace of impatience in William's voice.
"Can't I call you if I have nothing to do?" Lucas said on the other end of the phone.
"I'm very busy," said William, rubbing his eyebrows. "I don't have time to talk nonsense with you."
"You think I have nothing to do! As a famous doctor, I'm also very busy, okay?" Lucas was so angry that he jumped his feet. "I called you just for you. No, for your mother-in-law!"
"Do you have any idea?" Hearing that, William was in high spirits. Although he had a fight with Mary, but he had his principles. Since he had decided to help her, he would not break his promise.
"No, I don't." Lucas said, "I've read the information, but I'm not God. Let's talk about it after I return home and see the patient."
"You will come back?!"
"Yes," Lucas said with a smile, "Go back and see my aunt, Mary, ha ha."
"Fuck off!"
"Damn it! Why are you cursing me?" "If you scold me again, I'll tell Mary and ask her to kick you out of bed!" Lucas didn't want to lose and continued to tease.
"Stop it." Replied William weakly.
"What...? You sound so weak. Did you really suffer a loss last night? Ha ha... " Lucas danced happily and confidently over there.
"If you keep talking nonsense, you'll be beaten up when you get off the plane."
"Are you so cruel? !" "It's just a joke," shouted Lucas.
"We are just pretending to get married. It's a fake marriage."
All of a sudden, in Lucas's loud noise, such a sentence from William was like a thunder exploding in a clear sky, which unexpectedly shocked Lucas.
"What... What did you say?!"
"Yes, you heard it. Let's talk about it when you come back."
Bang! William hung up the cellphone and threw it on the table.
"Hello? Hello?! William!" Lucas jumped with his feet and shouted at the phone that had been hung up, "I cross the jet lag and call you in the middle of the night. Did you hang up again?! Fake marriage?! Oh my god!" William threw the phone and couldn't read the documents anymore.
'Fake marriage, fake marriage. I must be out of my mind to make a fake marriage. I should have taken Frank's advice and went to live in Norway. Then I won't have to wait for another year and won't put herself into trouble.
