What William had said reassured Mary, and made her feel moved.
Although he might not even be able to protect himself from his father, what he said made him a good man.
She smiled bitterly. Yes, he was a good man so he said something like that. However, such protection had nothing to do with love.
The rain had just stopped and it made the road slightly slippery. William drove slowly and cautiously on the way to the company.
"Can you drive a little faster?" asked Mary anxiously. "Otherwise, we're going to be late again!"
"Safety first. Ahem."
"But," said Mary as she shook her head, "When I was in the Public Relations Department, I've never been late for three years. After becoming the wife of the CEO, I became lazy too."
William chuckled. "Well, you know your identity is different. So what if you're late?"
"Easy for you to say! I don't want others to think I'm lazy because I'm in power," said Mary, pretending to be aggrieved, "when in fact I have to listen to someone so..."
"So?"
"So don't
end an award ceremony, the TV Ceremony," said Victor while looking at Mary.
"That's great," said Mary with a smile. "Will you be an award presenter?"
"Sort of," continued Victor, "and I am also a winner. Just now, the manager of the Entertainment Department told me that I was nominated as the best actor of the year because of the play 'Past of Republic of China'."
"Really? Really?" Mary gasped at the good news. "Oh my God! That's great! You've really become the best actor! Congratulations! How can you be so calm?" Mary asked loudly.
"Ha ha." Victor smiled. "Thank you for your congratulations."
"Victor, it's time to go!" Jorge stood aside and urged Victor impatiently.
"I'm coming."
"Go ahead. It's time for me to go back to work. I will watch the live broadcast on TV later. Go for it!" Mary said.
"Okay." Victor nodded.
Waving her hand, Mary turned around and left.
'I will give you a big surprise by that time, Mary.'
Victor looked back at her. His expression suddenly turned serious.
