Chapter 53 Estrangement

It was dark outside when Mary and Victor arrived at the sidewalk snack booth. They quickly ordered their food and found a corner to eat.

It was a long time before they returned and had no idea how much time had passed. They only remembered that the two of them were drunk and staggered in their steps to call for a designated driver.

William was standing by the window of the apartment in the Kylin International Community. He watched cars entering the gates but didn't spot the brightly colored scooter. And by this point, he couldn't see any car.

It was so late. Where could she have gone?

William was about to give up and turn around when he saw a car slow down and park at the gate of the community.

It was far away from him but he knew he wasn't mistaken when he saw Mary get out of the car.

William's eyes tightened at this. It was late at night! Where had this woman gone to drink?

He had just begun to fume at these thoughts when he saw someone else emerge from the car. He squinted at this person, but quickly stiffened when he saw that it was Victor.

Victor handed Mary a handbag and they laughed and chatted to each other for a long time.

William's eyes narrowed and his hands clenched into fists.

Mary hummed a tune as she walked towards the elevator.

She had barely touched the doorknob when the door opened with a click. Mary was so shocked, she almost became instantly sober.

Her fac

aking her head.

"It's weird for a rich man to act like this. He has nothing else to do so he comes to our company to sleep. He is really not busy at all!" Jane complained. "He closes the blinds to block out the sun and just sleeps. "

"Frank is sleeping inside?" Mary said, shocked.

"Yes," Jane nodded seriously. "When I went in, boss was working quietly, and Frank was sleeping on the sofa beside him. It's really strange to do this with each other this way!"

"Yes, a little strange." Mary nodded.

It was getting hotter and hotter with each passing day. The leaves on the street had curled up and shriveled. People were unwilling to move out, wanting to remain in office.

After wandering around William's office door for a long time, Mary finally knocked on the door.

"Come in."

"Boss," said Mary, walking up to his desk.

"Yes, what is it?" William said, not looking up.

"I wanted to ask for leave. I haven't yet applied for this year's leave," Mary said.

"Where are you going?"

"Z City."

"Z City?" William said, his head snapping up and his grip on the pen tightening just a smidge.

"What are you going to do?"

"It's private," said Mary hesitantly. "Boss, you don't have to know so much about it, do you?"

"The one who is asking you now is your nominal husband."

Well... If he was putting it like that... Mary took a deep breath and said, "I need to go back to my hometown."
