Marriage Contract: Love Game With CEO

"I think we can sign the agreement after dealing with the company's affairs. We're still in the negotiation stage. I haven't made any official announcements within the company yet," said William.

"Alright..." Adam nodded, "Then we'll follow your lead. We can't rush this."

"Okay."

"William, may I ask you a question?" After a short pause, Adam asked, "Why did you sell eighty percent of your company's shares to me?"

That was almost like selling the entire company. Adam felt weird about it.

"Well," said William, and he paused, sticking his hands in his pockets. He answered casually, "Because I'm moving out of the country next year. I don't know if I can work here after I do that."

"Makes sense." Adam nodded to show he understood. He was pretty sure William was hiding something from him, but he didn't press him. "Best of luck in the future, then!"

"Thank you, Mr. Chen." William raised his glass to Adam.

"Cheers!"

The two of them raised their glasses leisurely and clinked them together. Then they shared pleasant conversation more appropriate for a festive occasion. That was, until a cry for help shattered the calm.

"Help! Help! Help!"

While everyone was having fun, a woman's cry for help rang out. It sounded like it might have come from the reef, or nearby, at least.

"Oh my God! Someone's drowning!"

"Someone get down here and save her!"

"Help! Help!"

Everyone was panicking, but panic wouldn't help save the victim.

After saying that, he left decisively. Biting her lips, Mary watched him walk off and sighed helplessly.

The two strong bodyguards behind them were at a loss.

"Mary? What's wrong?" It was Victor, coming up behind her.

"Hmm?" Mary turned and looked at Victor who was approaching. "Why are you here?"

"I'm not used to the noise over there." Victor shrugged.

"Why come to a party if you don't like the noise?" With a bitter smile on her face, Mary's eyes were still searching for William.

"If I said it was for you, would you believe me?" Victor said with a smile, "I received the invitation. But I didn't want to come. I heard you would be here, so I came."

"You..."

"I haven't seen you for so long. I miss you."

"Victor..." Mary's face turned red like a tomato. Only a playboy like Victor could say those sweet words so smoothly. This was definitely not his first rodeo.

"William left you again?"

"Well..."

"Just spit it out. No fancy words, no weird ways of saying things, okay?" Victor leaned over and flicked Mary's head.

"What are you doing?" Mary angrily shook off his hand and sneezed. "Ah choo!"

"Ha ha," said Victor, hands in his pockets like usual. "I don't want you anywhere near William, but you probably should change into something warmer."

"Madam, this way please." The bodyguard beside them also stepped forward and gestured, indicating she should follow.

"Well, I'm going to change my clothes."

"Okay, go ahead."
