The golden sun turned the sky into bright blue as birds sang their melody. The whole surrounding was filled with the fragrance of flowers as fresh wind blew softly. The morning in the suburb was pleasant and calming, far from the usual hustle and bustle of the city.
Mary woke up to the morning light streaming through the window, dancing across her face. She could hear the birds' beautiful call.
"Ah..." She rubbed her eyes gently. As she convinced herself to get out of bed, Mary sat up and stretched with her eyes still shut. "I'm so tired..." All of a sudden, she felt the warm, soft sheet around her. "Huh?" she uttered, confused.
When she opened her eyes, she knew something was wrong. Mary tried hard to recall what happened last night. When did she come to bed? And where was William? Why was she lying on his bed? There were so many questions on her baffled mind.
Knock, knock, knock.
In the middle of her thoughts, she was startled by gentle knocks on the door.
Mary immediately got out of bed and opened it.
Standing in front of her was a young maid. "Madam, breakfast is ready. Young master asks you to go downstairs."
"Oh. William is already there?" Mary frowned and scratched her head.
"Yes." The maid nodded.
"Okay, I'll be right there." She quickly washed her face and brushed her teeth. She ran downstairs after fixing herself.
William was sitting at his huge dining table while eating breakfast leisurely. He was reading the morning newspaper and coughing from time to time.
'He looks like a pedant who has lived for decades. Boring!' Mary thought to herself. 'What a pity!' She stared at him with despise a
after hearing his indifferent words.
"Take us to Mary!" Timothy said to break the tension between the two. Then he held Amy's hand and gently patted it to comfort her.
"Okay."
Timothy's bodyguards surrounded them dutifully. As soon as they entered the hall, they attracted a bunch of onlookers. Everyone stared at the family in awe. They could hear different comments as they walked past the crowd.
"Wow, who is him?"
"So classy!"
"Oh my God! He is the CEO's father!"
"It's true. The CEO just looks like his father!"
"His mother is also very beautiful and elegant!"
"The CEO's family is so rich!"
"Are they here to see Mrs. Lan because she is pregnant?"
"That's possible!"
"Absolutely! "
"I'm sure Mary will get a big reward!"
"Yeah, yeah. I'm so envious of her!"
William was displeased hearing the employees' remarks. "Can you keep a lower profile in my company next time?"
"Do you still expect me to be here next time?" Timothy answered sarcastically.
"You'd better not come. Ahem..."
"Why are you coughing William? Did you catch a cold? Are you okay?" Amy asked in a worried voice.
"It's nothing." William waved his hand coldly.
The three of them went to the CEO's office. As soon as the elevator opened, they heard Mary's loud laughter. They witnessed how carefree and bubbly she was.
"Haha, he got you just like this? Haha... "
William felt speechless when he heard Mary's loud voice. He rubbed his forehead impatiently.
"Haha." Amy covered her mouth. "Mary is such a lovely young woman. She is not as dull as you two."
"You're right." Timothy smiled as he watched his son's wife.
