Sitting in the car, Mary felt a bit uneasy. It was strange to sit in a car wearing only a swimsuit.
"Could you find a nice spot to park the car? I'm going to change my clothes," asked Mary.
William stared at her. "Are you afraid that I will see your body?"
"I..."
"There is nothing to look at." William bit his lips and continued, "I'm not interested in women."
"Then why did you—" Mary turned her head in anger. She was so furious she could not finish her words.
"Why did I what?" asked William.
"Nothing, nothing." Mary took a deep breath. 'Why did you rape me?' she said in her heart. Mary turned to look at William again. 'That night is also a big blow to him, isn't it?'
"Let's go eat." William did not dwell on the topic anymore. Without waiting for Mary's permission, he drove to the most prosperous commercial street in A City.
"How can I go inside while wearing a swimsuit?!" Mary asked while rolling her eyes. Annoyed, she said firmly, "No, I'm not hungry."
"I am ordering you as your employer. Do you understand?" said William sternly while raising his eyebrows.
"I know, I know." Mary was still unconvinced but she had no choice but to agree. "A typical evil businessman style," she muttered under her breath.
"Mary!" William pulled the car over. "Are you provoking me?" He looked annoyed. Mary, on the other hand, just bit her lips.
"No, no, no." She waved her hand in dismissal.
Sometimes she could not control her own mouth and it would cause her trouble.
"You'd better not. Otherwise, you can go to dinner wearing only that." William got out of the car first, walked to th
ed her head. Should she celebrate their beautiful love now? Even if she wasn't really happy?
Finally, the dishes were served quickly.
Mary sliced a piece of green apple cake and chewed it slowly. The cake was so sweet it tasted bitter.
Sure enough, they were not from the same world. Her values and taste were different from those of William. After all, they could not be together, not to mention that they did not even love each other.
Frank was different. He and William grew up together and loved each other. Everything was the same... Even their gender was the same. Only the two of them could be a perfect match for each other.
Mary picked up a napkin and wiped her mouth. When she looked up, she inadvertently saw the advertisement on the LED screen of the opposite building.
It was for the AJ Group Real Estate. On the screen, William and Mary hugged each other affectionately. How long could such a perfect marriage last?
"By the way," Frank said, "William, can I go back with you and Mary, and stay there for the night?"
Mary's hand that was holding the napkin trembled and her lips turned pale for a moment. She did not know whether or not William noticed it with his sharp eyes. Either way, she could not control her thoughts.
"Is it because of Nancy?" asked William calmly.
"Yeah." Frank snorted.
"Ask Mary. It is her name that is on the property ownership certificate."
"Mary? What do you think?" Frank asked with wide eyes. He was looking at her expectantly.
"O...okay." Mary answered with the corners of her mouth slightly twitching.
"Thank you, Mary. You are really kind!"
