Chapter 143 You Are The Best (Part One)

Mary returned to the villa in the evening.

The housekeeper, cleaner, gardener, and servants were already at the house. The kids were playing in the yard.

"Madam is back!" Hester hurried over to her, smiling. "Dinner is ready. Alick and Elissa have been waiting for you to come back."

"Really? Thank you, Hester," said Mary, returning her smile.

"You're welcome."

"Mommy is back!" Elissa exclaimed happily.

"Mommy!" Alick ran forward excitedly.

"Mommy!"

"My babies!" Mary bent down and kissed the two kids.

"Mommy, let's go have dinner!" Alick said, looking at his mother with so much love and care, it warmed Mary's heart. "Mommy must be very tired after the day's work," he said.

"Mommy must be very tired, yes!" Elissa echoed. She was pouting in a childlike manner that made Mary smile.

"Let's go eat. My babies must be hungry too," Mary smiled and led them back to the villa.

"Ring..." Mary's phone began to ring.

"Hello?" Mary answered the phone.

" Are you having dinner?" Barry's voice came from the other end of the line.

"Yes," Mary smiled. "You called too soon, didn't you?"

"Can't I?" Barry's smile was evident in his voice. "What if someone else takes you away if I don't call you enough?"

Mary's face turned r

corridor that contained the elevator. She was confused. "How do they know where the elevator is?" she muttered, frowning.

"Manager Lu, how did you know that the elevator is here?" Jill asked, also confused.

Mary was thrown for a bit. But she recovered soon enough and said, "I saw the sign."

"Oh! You're observant! I didn't notice that," Jill said, embarrassed.

"Ha-ha!" Mary chuckled half-heartedly, her eyes under the sunglasses telling a different story.

"By the way, I heard that the CEO of AJ Group is a playboy," Jill said seriously, unmindful of the turmoil within Mary. "We need to leave as soon as you finish your business."

"Okay," Mary said, nodding. Of course she knew this.

Last night, she had searched for information related to William for the past four years. There had been endless gossip about him saying that he had had affairs with most female stars in his company.

The newspapers and the Internet were full of such news.

It was none of her business, Mary had thought sneeringly.

In the CEO's office on the thirty-second floor...

"Mr. Lan," Beth pouted, sidling up flirtatiously to William. "Director Jamie said they had chosen another girl for the heroine of the film. How can this be? You promised!" she whined.
