When he found it, he hurriedly took it out and dialed Mary's number.
Ring! Ring!
The ringing tone sounded in the bedroom. William walked quickly to the sound and opened the door.
In the darkness, the phone screen flickered on the bed.
In a panic, William turned on the light in the bedroom, and slowly walked to the bed. The phone was there but Mary was nowhere to be found. His heart raced by the minute.
"Tell the bodyguards outside the door to find Mary. If she doesn't come back tonight, they will be fired!" ordered William to the nanny with a cold face.
"Yes, sir!" The nanny nodded, turned around, and left.
With his head down, William pulled his hair in frustration. He fell heavily on the bed with pained expression in his eyes.
He scolded Mary and slapped her.
No way!
William could not calm down as everything dawned on him all at once. He quickly stood up and strode out. He must go out to look for her in pers
said firmly.
Barry's eyes darkened. Mary did not want to tell him the truth.
"You can go to the meeting now. Don't waste time. I'm fine."
"I'll be with you," Barry said without hesitation.
"You..." Mary looked up at Barry in shock.
"It doesn't matter. It's the same to let the vice CEO attend the meeting."
"Then I am the sinner."
"Your business is always the most important." Barry walked to the corner of the office. He fetched some warm water from the handwashing sink and soaked a towel. When he returned to Mary's side, he knelt down beside her and wiped her face gently. "Apply the hot towel on your face so your face won't be swollen soon."
Mary was overwhelmed by his gentleness. His tender actions and eyes made tears well up in her eyes.
"Why are you crying again? Do you feel uncomfortable?"
With her eyes closed, Mary shook her head and replied, "William... I'm not the one in his heart. What should I do?"
