Love Contract with CEO

In the past two days, Mary had been preparing her handover.

As long as the gossip regarding the popular star, Victor Qiao, that represented the AJ Group was solved, then it would be all fine and dandy.

'Damn you, Victor,' Mary thought, cursing the star. Right now, there was a big headline that was slapped across every tabloid reading, "Victor, a rising new star, was caught with a model late at night!" It even had his pictures and everything!

Mary was furious, but had no choice but to deal with it. Why were men such womanizers?

"What are you doing?"

A low voice came from behind her, snapping her out of her thoughts.

She screamed, almost falling from her chair. Her face was drained of all color as she glared at William. "Would it hurt for you to make a sound? Holy shit! You scared the hell out of me!"

He stared at her emotionlessly as if he didn't get why she was frightened.

As she stared into his eyes, she could feel the atmosphere around them dropping by a few degrees.

"I–I was working, so I didn't hear you... And..."

Mary found herself at a loss for words as she smiled awkwardly at the man in front of her.

William glanced at the newspapers on the table, frowning. It was Victor Qiao. The man was trouble, that was for sure. "Is the news difficult to deal with?"

"Huh?" It took her a few moments to realize that he was referring to the article. "It's difficult, especially since the news was so recent. We can only reduce negative impact for now."

"Right." William nodded before peering at her. "Can you cook?"

"No." Mary gazed up at him, widening her eyes. "Well, the contract didn't specify that I should cook, so I thought..."

Hearing that, William was speechless. He felt as if he had just married an idiot. She wasn't like this in the company. In fact, he thought that she was incredibly capable. He shook his head. Did he make a mistake?

"Um...you haven't eaten yet?" she asked with uncertainty.
