Marriage Contract: Love Game With CEO

"Boss!" Jane was having a nice chat with Mary before she turned around and saw the people standing in front of the elevator. Frightened, she lowered her head and pulled Mary.

"Well..." The moment Mary heard the word "boss", she was a bundle of nerves. She stopped laughing all at once and turned around, only to see someone even more terrifying than William.

"Boss... and... Father!" Mary called as Timothy nodded with a smile.

With an indifferent expression on his face, William stood on Timothy's right, while a woman was on his left.

She was about fifty years old and was a really well-groomed woman. She wore a long grey coat, and her hair was coiled up high, making her look quite elegant. At that moment, she smiled at Mary.

Could this lady be Aunt Amy, William's stepmother? Mary took a few steps forward as she thought of it.

It happened that she was right. Before Mary could get to the three of them, Aunt Amy had already approached her with a smile. Her almost wrinkle-free hands held Mary's while she introduced herself amicably, "Mary, I'm Aunt Amy."

"Aunt Amy!"

"Good girl," said Aunt Amy with a gentle smile. She then turned to Timothy and confessed, "I think Mary looks more beautiful in person than in the photo. I'm so happy I got to finally see her."

"Well..." Mary was embarrassed to hear Amy's compliment but was also glad to be liked by the elders.

"Let's go inside first, ahem..." William said, clearing his throat.

"Okay." Timothy agreed.

"Let's go in

ut another sticky rice and cinnamon root and seaweed bean soup too?"

Mary swallowed before answering, "Sure.... That's great!"

"Really? Isn't it too little?"

"No," said Mary in a hurry. "It's too much."

"No, it's not. Don't worry. I'll do it then!" Aunt Amy continued, "Are you getting off work soon?"

"Yes."

"Be careful when you come back. I'll start to cook dinner and wait for you at home."

"Okay, thank you, Aunt Amy."

"Not at all."

After Mary hung up, the corners of her lips rose slightly. She then walked towards William's office with the phone in her hands.

Knock, knock, knock.

"Come in."

As soon as she came into his office, Mary found William organizing some papers on his desk as if he was about to head out.

"Are you leaving?" Mary asked.

"Yes, I need to go out." Then he added in a flat voice, "By the way, I won't be returning to the family house tonight. I'll let someone else send you back."

"Wait a minute." Mary stopped him. "Aunt Amy is preparing the dinner tonight! Do you have anything important to do outside? Can't you put it off?"

"You can go back by yourself. Ahem..." William coughed as he walked past her and made his way forward.

"William," Mary suddenly shouted to his back. "You will make Aunt Amy sad!"

Without turning around to face her, William chuckled and said, "So what?"

"So what?" Mary was furious at his response. "You're impossible, William! Aunt Amy didn't do anything wrong. Why can't you be nice to her?"
