Chapter 242 Exactly The Same (Part One)
Mary and William were on the bed.
"Mary, be a good girl and give me the phone," William pleaded as he pressed his body on top of Mary's. "If anyone sees these photos, my reputation will be ruined."
"You deserve it." Mary hid her phone under her body and grumbled, "You did something wrong and I'm sure you'll do it again. I have to keep this as evidence in case you make another mistake!"
"Okay, okay." William sighed in defeat. He knew he had no choice so he just lowered his head and kissed Mary on the cheek. "You can do whatever you want. You can keep the photos too. Does it mean that you have forgiven me?"
"Answer my question first," Mary said as she stared at him seriously.
"Sure, go ahead."
"How did you keep the channel unchanged when you were kneeling on the remote control?"
"That's because..." With a sly smile, William answered, "I took out the battery when you were not looking." "Eh? Wow, you are so cunning!" Mary exclaimed in amazement.
"Ha ha!" William laughed at her priceless reaction. "I know it's smart of me to do that. Anyway, Mary, please forgive me! Please! I will never let Alick and Elissa get hurt again!"
Mary rolled her eyes and warned him, "This is the last time!"
"Okay."
"Of course it's easy for you to make such a promise! But, men are unreliable." The more she spoke, the angrier she became. "How many women have you had in the past four years?"
Cold sweat began to seep from William's back. Nevertheless, he answered calmly, "There is no woman! I was just making a show. You are my only woman.
But you were so close to Victor..."
"Were you jealous?" Mary asked with her eyes wide open.
"Yes, I was." William nodded.
"Then why didn't you admit it back then?!" Mary glared at him and continued, "I told you I liked you. You must have been so proud!"
"I couldn't tell how I felt at that time."
"Of course—" Before Mary could even finish her sentence, William suddenly kissed her on the lips. As if in a daze, he said, "Mary, let's have another baby."
"You... What did you say?" Mary was stunned so William sprang into action.
"I just want to have another baby with you." While pouting, he recalled what Barry had said just now. Barry's words echoed in his mind until now. "From pregnancy to birth, I want to see our child grow up little by little. I want to be the first person to hold him or her. I want to witness the moment the baby begins to speak. Mary, don't you want these as well?"
Mary felt a little sad. How could she not think about it? She thought it was just her own wishful thinking.
"Mary, I love you." William kissed her again, but this time, it was a long and passionate one.
"I love you too."
In Frank's villa.
Frank returned to his empty home and went straight to his study. He opened the computer, inserted the USB flash drive, and played the videos.
The videos taken by Beth were not as clear as those from Andy.
"Mr. Lan... Faster!" Along with erotic voices and quite shocking scenes, Frank watched the videos intently.
Sitting in front of the computer, he looked a little gloomy under the light of the computer.
He clenched his fists so hard that his veins started protruding from his skin.
He slammed his first on the table and vented his anger like a madman. Except for the computer, everything else on his table fell on the floor with a few loud sounds, making a mess.
For William, he would do anything! There was nothing he was afraid of doing!
In the building of GM Universing Studios.
Victor entered the meeting room silently. To his surprise, Mary was already waiting for him.
"Come here!" Mary stood up and called him as soon as she saw him enter.
"Are you alone?" Victor smiled at her and asked, "Why are we meeting here? We could've met outside and had fun."
"I didn't say I wanted to hang out with you," said Mary in a serious tone. "As the manager of GM Universing Studios, I specifically invited you to come here to talk about business."
He raised his eyebrows and laughed. "Manager Lu, a powerful woman, I'm really not used to you being like this. Tell me, what's the matter?" "Do you know that the box office of our movie has reached eighty million? Isn't it great?" Mary said excitedly. "That's the reason why I called you here."
"You want to give me a bonus? It's not time yet, is it?" Victor lowered his head and decided to play with his phone casually.
"Don't play dumb," Mary said while staring at him in bewilderment. "You know what I'm going to say. I want you to sign a contract with our company. Victor, come back to the
entertainment industry!" Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
"I won't break my promise. I told you four years ago that I would never step foot in this industry again!" Victor raised his head and looked at her with burning eyes. "Mary, you know I accepted this movie just for you."

"Excuse me?" All of a sudden, Ena pushed the door open and happened to hear Victor's last sentence. Her smile instantly stiffened, and she stood frozen in spot.
"Ena..." Mary stood up at once, feeling both at loss and embarrassed.
Victor turned his head and saw Ena standing by the door. A trace of panic flashed through his eyes. Fortunately, he was quick to regain his composure.
There was a moment of silence in the meeting room.
"Mary, are you free this afternoon? I want to ask you out," Victor said suddenly as he stood up with his right hand in his pocket.
Surprised, Mary looked at him with eyes full of confusion. 'Has Victor gone crazy? Perhaps he just said it on purpose while Ena is watching.'
As expected, as soon as he said this, Ena's eyes turned misty and blurry with tears.
"If there's nothing else, I'll leave now." With no expression on his face, Victor turned around and prepared to leave.
When he was about to pass by Ena, she grabbed his sleeve at once.
Her hands were trembling, yet she was unwilling to let him go.
"Don't you want to see me?" asked Ena while stifling a sob.
"Let me go."
"No." She shook her head and continued, "I just want to know why you dislike me."
"Why should I like you?" Victor turned his head and looked at Ena disdainfully.
"Because, because I like you!" When Ena spoke, her voice was quivering. She seemed as though she would burst into tears anytime. Standing aside, Mary could do nothing but watch Victor and Ena's heartbreaking scene.
"What do you like about me anyway? Do I have to like you just because you like me?" Victor said to her slowly, emphasizing his every word. "Your career has just begun. It's better not to think about personal problems for the time being. Even if you do think about it, you have no possibility with me."
After saying that, he turned around and left, leaving no chance for Ena to respond.
Not long after, Mary's phone rang. It was a message from Victor. "I'll tell you in detail about the contract signing when you come this afternoon."
Tears streamed down Ena's face relentlessly. Mary put her phone back in her pocket and helped Ena to sit down to calm her down.
"Are you okay?" Mary asked comfortingly. "What Victor meant was... He agreed on participating in the movie because we're friends. That's all. Don't get him wrong."
"Mary," Ena said in between sobs, "I just don't understand why he is so cold to me."
Mary patted her on the back comfortingly and said nothing.
"Mary, why did you ask me to come here today?" It took Ena a long time to calm down. "To make you sign the contract," Mary explained. "I wonder if you are still in the mood to talk about it."
"I know, Mary." Ena nodded and continued, "But I want to go to the same company as Victor."
Mary looked at her in surprise. Nevertheless, she nodded in agreement. "It's your own business. I respect your choice."
In the afternoon, Mary went out to meet with Victor, in the most beautiful part of the city.
