Chapter 114 Anger (Part One)


    As Mary stood in the kitchen, she felt spiritless.


    A wave of emotions surged in her chest-shame, excitement, guilt.


    As Frank gazed at the two, he dug his nails into palms.


    That day, he had only heard about it.


    But seeing it today with his own two eyes felt like a punch in the gut. ''William, why? Why were you


    so cold to me yet you snuck out to see Mary?''


    "You think I''d force her if she didn''t want to do it?"


    All of a sudden, Frank recalled what William had said that day. He scowled at Mary, the look on his


    face said that he wanted to tear her apart.


    It was Mary who had seduced William. ''I''ll make you pay for this! You''ll regret this until your dying


    day!''


    Suddenly, the door to Mary''s room was kicked open and mmed shut.


    Frank stood outside the door in secret—he never thought that William would sleep with that woman.


    After everything was over, Mary was a little short of breath. She closed her eyes, refusing to look at


    William.


    It took a while for William to get up as he wiped the sweat off her face.


    Mary was quiet.


    "Rest well," William said as he got out of bed and tucked Mary in.


    He took onest look at Mary before leaving the room, satisfied.


    In the blink of an eye, the room was dimmed and no sound could be heard.


    What was going on?


    Mary suddenly opened her eyes, still under the quilt. ''What am I to you, William?


    Mary, what''s wrong with you? Why didn''t you refuse him? From his wife on paper to his nanny and


    now I am his...''


    A single drop of tear fell on her pillow as she shut her eyes close.

    She couldn''t do this anymore...


    The contract was going to be over soon. He was going to leave soon. She couldn''t go on like this


    anymore... The following morning, Mary woke up because of the cold. She drew the curtains only to


    find a thickyer of steam on the window.


    Winter hade—no wonder it was freezing.


    She changed her clothes before heading out. When she did, she found William sitting in the kitchen,


    having his morning coffee while Frank was cooking breakfast.


    Everything looked peaceful.


    Smiling bitterly, she turned around, intending to leave quietly.


    "Mary!" William called as soon as he caught sight of her. "Come here."


    "Mary''s up." Frank turned around, smiling. He invited, "Come here. Breakfast will be ready soon."


    "Okay." Mary nodded as she walked towards the kitchen.


    "It''s cold today. Why aren''t you bundled up?" William asked.


    "I''m not cold..."


    "Have some coffee," William offered. "To warm you up."


    "No, thanks." Mary lowered her head, averting her gaze. William was on the verge of losing his


    temper when she refused him. However, just one glimpse of the rosy tint on her face instantly


    softened his heart.


    "How was your sleepst night?" William looked at her nervously.


    "Well... It was fine." Mary nodded, her face reddened.


    Looking at her, William felt somewhat tempted.


    "I didn''t sleep wellst night," Frank chimed in as he fried an egg. "I guess it was your fault."


    William shot Frank a nce. He knew what Frank was referring to. If the two hadn''t had a fightst


    night, he would have had a good night''s sleep. But it wasn''t like he had any other choice.


    "William, Mary, help yourselves to the eggs." Frank handed each of them a te as he nced at


    William.


    This did not go unnoticed by Mary.


    She couldn''t help but wonder about what Frank had just said. Could it be that after William went


    back to his roomst night, he and Frank...?


    At the thought of this, Mary''s face turned pale as her lips trembled. How could William do this to


    her?


    "Mary, what''s wrong with you?" William had his gaze glued on Mary so he quickly noticed the shift in


    her demeanor.


    "I... I''m fine," Marry said, shaking her head. She put down her knife and fork. "I don''t feel good all of


    a sudden. I need to go."


    "You can leave after breakfast..." William pulled her back.


    "No, it''s okay..." Mary pushed his hand away as if she had touched something dirty. "I''m leaving


    now."


    "Mary..." William was just about to get up to chase after her but stopped when he thought of Frank


    who was right behind him.


    "William, where is Mary going? Is she okay?" Frank stared at William.


    "It''s nothing." William shook his head and forced a smile as he began to eat.


    Frank scowled as he kept his gaze on the door of the apartment, Mary slowly disappearing from his


    sight.


    When Mary arrived at thepany, she saw Lucas sitting at her desk.


    "What are you doing here?" She instantly smiled.


    "I''m here to see you." Lucas stood up and said, "I heard that William''s back. I wanted to see if you


    were all right." "I''m fine. Things are manageable. I''ve already forgotten about it."


    "Oh, wow. That quick?" Lucas chuckled. "Then I guess I was worried for nothing."


    "Ha-ha!" Mary smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern!"


    The moment William stepped out of the elevator, he heard Mary''sughter quickly followed by a


    sighting of Lucas whom he hadn''t seen in a while.


    "What are you doing here?" William questioned.


    "Am I not allowed to be here?" Raising his eyebrows, Lucas said, "I''m here for Mary, okay?"


    William turned his gaze to Mary, eyeing her from head to toe. In confusion, he asked, "When did


    you two be so close?"


    "It''s none of your business." Lucas nced at him then with much sarcasm, he said, "Didn''t you just


    get back from Japan? You look happy. Looks like everything was settled already."


    "Things are okay." William shrugged as he kept shooting a nce at Mary every now and then.


    "Hey, why don''t..." William interjected him as he put his arms around his shoulders. "If there''s


    anything else you want to say, why don''t we go out and continue our conversation there? This is a


    workce after all." Then he practically pushed Lucas out the door.


    "Hey..." Mary called out. However, the two didn''t stop. She shook her head and just decided to let


    them go.


    William took Lucas to a coffee shop near thepany. There were very few people in the shop so


    they chose a seat by the window, each holding their own cup of coffee.


    "Why did you bring me here?" Lucas looked at him in disgust.


    "Are you going to b about my private affairs in my ownpany?" William asked scornfully.


    "Why not?" With an indifferent look on his face, Lucas took a sip of his coffee.


    "Fuck you!"


    "You deserve it!" Lucas stared him down. "Why did you leave Mary in your family house when you


    left? She cried her eyes out that day!"


    "Mary... She cried that day... I was so worried about Frank then."
