Chapter 41 Company Problems

After ending the call with Lucas, Mary scrolled through her contacts for William's name.

She texted him saying, "Text me back as soon as you see this."

No. She couldn't send him that! She deleted it and typed, "Where are you? Call me back."

This wouldn't work either. She deleted the message, typed another, and deleted it, over and over again. But she didn't know where to start with the questions, given that she had so much to ask him.

Mary struggled to type a message for a while before giving up and flinging the phone aside.

He would probably come back tomorrow.

The next day, Mary went early to the company to keep track of the situation. The good thing was that rumors hadn't made their way around the company. The flip side was that William hadn't returned yet.

She had no choice but to put many matters off.

Mary had been busy all morning. She had had no choice but to hold a temporary meeting for the senior officers of the company to explain the current situation and prepare them for what would most likely come. On the other hand, Mary went back and forth from the Public Relations Department to ask them to create more topics to shift the attention, and not to let the reporters get wind of William's disappearance.

"Mary?"

It was almost noon. Mary was about to return to the CEO's office when she met Victor.

"Victor! Why are you here?" she asked, surprised.

"To sign the contract," he replied. "Looks like you're in a hurry. Are you too busy?".

"Yes, a little bit," Mary nodded. "You go ahead with your work. I'll need to leave.".

"Okay," Victo

!".

Kevin was six feet tall and wasn't afraid of a reporter. He was about to throw a punch when a frantic voice sounded.

"Madam!

Kevin!"

Several people rushed out of the hospital gates. It turned out they were from the General Manager Office and had rushed out the moment they had heard that Mary had been surrounded by reporters at the gate. They hadn't expected the situation to be so bad!

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" The security guards rushed over, pulling Kevin away from the reporter. .

"All right, all right! There has been a misunderstanding," a manager from the AJ Group shouted so that the reporters could hear him. "Ask me if you have any questions. Don't make things difficult for Mrs. Lan."

"Let's go, Kevin," Mary said, pulling on his sleeve. "Don't make any trouble. Let's go in.".

"They have gone too far!" Kevin said, angrily rolling up his sleeves. .

"Ignore them," Victor said, a hand on Kevin's shoulder as they entered the hospital, protected by the security guards. .

But the reporters behind them didn't turn off their cameras, pointing them at Mary and Victor.

The wife of the CEO having an affair with an actor of his company was a hot topic!

"Mary, are you okay?" Kevin asked. .

"I'm all right," she replied, her voice still shaken.

"Your clothes look crumpled and torn and you have wounds! Don't you feel them? Look at yourself!" Victor said, frowning. . .

Mary looked down at her dust-covered jeans. Her knees were bruised and her arms were grazed, but she smiled wonderingly as she said, "I am really injured."
