Chapter 27 The Improvement The air in the lift was so ambiguous that people couldnât breathe. Finally, with a âdingâ sound, the lift door opened. Mary rushed out of it as if she was running for her life.
âAchoo-!â
Coming out of the hotel, Mary sneezed hard.
It was already late at night, and the night wind made her shiver all over.
She was wearing cartoon rabbit pajamas. Standing at the entrance of the hotel she looked particularly funny.
Mary wrapped her pajamas tightly and walked towards the parking lot.
She had just taken a few steps when someone grabbed her bunny ear hat from behind.
Before she could turn around, her vision suddenly turned black.
The suit jacket with a manâs cold and handsome aura was thrown on her head.
âPut it on.â She pulled off his jacket and looked at the tall and straight back of the man. âNo need.â
âIf you are sick, they will blame me.â William did not stop. Mary pursed her lips and could only obediently put it on. The clothes still carried his temperature and the unique peppermint scent of a man. For some reason, she felt that her face was a little hot.
There was no car at night, so William drove very fast. On the way back, she sat in the back seat of the car and carefully looked at him through the rearview mirror. When he looked ahead seriously, his angular face was particularly cold and proud.
Maryâs heart skipped a beat.
She was sure.
William was much more attractive than Raymond. Soon, they arrived at the villa. He parked the car at the door and said, âI want to go back to the company for a meeting. You go back by yourself.â âYou still have a meeting this late at night?â Mary frowned as she unfastened her seatbelt.
âInternational meetings, there is a time difference.â
âYou work so hardâ¦â âItâs better for me to stay up all night alone than to let the dozens of executives overseas stay up all night.â The manâs deep voice was charming.
Mary felt a slight warmth in her heart.
She didnât expect a person of such status as William to have such a warm side to him. After getting out of the car, she looked back at his face seriously. âCome back early to rest after the meeting.â William paused, probably not expecting that Mary would say this. After a while, his bottomless eyes quietly looked at her. The car started up again.
âAndâ¦â
Before he stepped on the accelerator, Mary took a deep breath. âThank you for tonight.â Although his way was not quite right, he still gave her an unforgettable experience. The black Maserati rumbled away.
Mary looked in the direction he left and sighed silently. She did not know if he had heard her thanks.
Another gust of night wind blew, and she subconsciously tightened her clothes.
When her fingers touched his coat, the womanâs lips inexplicably rose.
The next morning, when Mary woke up, the man beside her was still sleeping quietly. The early morning sun made the corners of his face softer. His eyes were closed and his face was full of tiredness. It seemed that he had just fallen asleep. Mary lightly stepped off the bed, tucked him in the corner, and went to the servantâs room to wash up with the toiletries.
When making breakfast, Mary specially prepared a portion for William and told the servant to heat it up for him when he woke up. âNot bad, not bad. Mommy knows how to love Daddy. Their relationship has improved a step further!â Sitting at the dining table, James bit his small spoon and stared at Maryâs face with a smile. âMommy, when can I have a little sister?â
Mary blushed. She did not want to answer directly, nor did she want to embarrass the little fellow. So she smiled and changed the topic. âWhy do you want a younger sister and not a younger brother?â âI am the younger brother of Steve, and I can do whatever I want to Steve every day.â James rolled his eyes. âIf you give me a younger brother like me, I will be annoyed to death!â âItâs good that you know.â Steve looked at him indifferently.
After breakfast, the driver sent Mary to Film City. As soon as she entered the set, she saw Alice sitting on the set with her legs crossed proudly and with a script in her hand. The other performers on the side complained with a face full of resentment, âThis online celebrity is disgusting. I wonder how she became the second female lead overnight.â âIt seems that Raymond really loves her. He actually made the producer replace the original second female lead with herâ¦â
As Mary flipped through todayâs filming arrangements, she listened to the gossip of the performers and sighed in her heart. It turned out that the one that Raymond and Alice met last night was the producer of the TV series White Hair Like Snow. It turned out that Raymond had been groveling to help Alice get the role of the second female lead.
In the past, when she was with Raymond, he was the apple of her eye. She had taken care of him in all possible ways. On the surface, Mary had been Raymondâs girlfriend. As an inconspicuous substitute for difficult martial arts moves in the crew, she used to be his agent and assistant. She had done all the work that could be done for him.
Now, Raymond was willing to risk everything for Alice. By the time she finished sighing, the filming had been completed. Today, most of the scenes in this studio were scenes of Raymond and Alice. Without Sherryâs part, there was no need for a substitute. Therefore, Mary stretched, informed the deputy director, and got up to leave.
âAre you going to Sherryâs studio?â a familiar little performer greeted her. âYes.â
âThere are no scenes for her here. Iâll go over there to see if I can help.â Mary smiled. âYou are really attentive.â
Just as she finished speaking, a cold voice rang out.
It was Alice.
Mary ignored her and prepared to leave. âDonât think that you can rest assured just because you have someone like Sherry as your backer.â Alice crossed her arms around her chest and looked at Maryâs back arrogantly. âA substitute will always be a substitute.â
Mary smiled.
âA third party will always be a third party. Even if she is the real girlfriend now, it wonât change the fact that she had seduced someone elseâs boyfriend.â
After that, she lifted her leg and strode away.
Alice stared at her back with eyes full of hatred. âWhat does she mean? Alice is a third party?â
âThat seems to be the case, but didnât Raymond have no girlfriend before?â
âCould it be that Raymond had hidden his relationship before, and thenâ¦â
Behind her, a few female actors gathered together and discussed in low voices.
Alice turned around and glared at them fiercely. âMind your own business!â âWe didnât say it. It was Mary who said it. If you want to vent your anger, donât aim it at us.â
Alice narrowed her eyes.
Mary!
It seemed that she had been too kind to her before!
