Chapter 47 Never Give Up

Destiny and fate were sometimes truly amazing. Just as Mary raised her head, she saw from the corner of her eye, two people staggering out the bar.

She squinted a bit to see the two people better. It was William and Lucas.

It seemed that William had made a phone call to someone. Soon after he called, another person arrived at the bar.

Mary's eyes widened. It looked to be a well-dressed young man who had large muscles. 'Could it be his bodyguard?' she thought to herself. The man politely opened the yellow car door for them and assisted them inside. Once they were inside, the man got in the driver seat and drove off.

It turned out William had bodyguards, so why did Lucas have to call her?

Mary felt humiliated once more. Her pride that had risen because she refused to pick William up was shattered again.

"Hello, Miss? How much do I have to pay?"

"What? Oh! Okay..." Mary shook her head and came to her senses. "I'm sorry, sir. Your total bill is one hundred and ninety."

After Mary had received the money, she looked back up. The strange yellow car was gone.

When she glanced out the window, the neon lights illuminated the streets and the night had become more fascinating.

"Sir, where are you going?" A yellow Lamborghini sped down the road.

"Kylin International." William rubbed his temples as he sat in the back seat of the car.

"Aren't you afraid of being beaten and driven out?" Lucas teased.

"Hmm... I remember you lecturing me to never to give up."

Lucas grinned. He then closed his eyes to rest.

"Sir, we're here."

"Okay." William nodded and gestured to the guard. "Send Mr. Murong to the seaside villa. He has the key."

"Yes, sir."

As William was stepping out of his car, he looked up and gazed at the building. It was in the middle of everything. The warm

no bed sheets."

Mary continued to stare at him suspiciously. William grumbled as he started turning red with anger. 'How dare she question me? Does she think I'm lying?' Ever since he was a kid, he hated it when people doubted him.

"If you don't believe me, you can go ahead and check it yourself!" William snapped. He gritted his teeth and gave her a sarcastic smile.

"No, that won't be necessary. I have some spare bed sheets in my bedroom. I'll just get them for you." Mary shook her head.

She then trotted back to the bedroom. She came out holding a whole set of bed sheets. Complete with summer quilt and pillowcase.

"Here you go." Mary threw them at him and turned back to her bedroom.

"Wait a minute." William called out to her.

"What?" She kept her back turned as she answered.

"Help me with the bed sheets and pillow cover. I don't know how to put them on the bed." William stared back at her, his eyes burning.

"It's easy. Don't use them then." After she said this, she was about to head inside.

"Are you just going to keep avoiding me like this all the time?" When he let out a deep sigh, Mary stopped.

"You can't just ignore me like this. The contract is still in effect. I know it's hard for you to let go... And I... I sincerely apologize to you for what happened that night. Please forgive me," said William sincerely. "Please, cooperate with me... At least for a year."

"Ten months." Mary cut him off. She turned her head and smirked. "I need to cooperate with you for another ten months. After that, we'll go on with our lives. I don't want anything to do with you."

Anything!

Staring at her, William felt her cruel smile pierce through him. Even her voice was filled with sadness and grievance. "Yes, ten months. You just need to endure me for another ten months."
