Love Contract with CEO

Chapter 40 William Disappeared

William disappeared.

After the quarrel last night, Mary knew that William wouldn't come back at night, but she didn't expect

that not only didn't come back at that night.

It was on the second day that she found that William was disappeared after being reminded by Kevin.

At lunch time, Kevin asked her if she had seen William.

"No." Said Mary.

"It's strange," said Kevin, "It shouldn't be like this. I've been with the CEO for several years, but this has

never happened."

"But now it happens." "It's normal to happen once," Mary added.

"But there are still some documents that haven't been signed by the CEO!" Said Kevin.

"Where is the CEO?" Jane asked in confusion, "Sister Mary, aren't you the CEO's wife? Don't you

know?"

Asked Jane. Both of Mary and Kevin felt uneasy after this question.

"He..." "He had a business appointment last night, so he didn't go home," Mary added.

"Oh my God!" Jane shouted, "Sister Mary, how can you be so careless! A man will become bad as

soon as he goes out. How can you let him stay out all night?"

Mary seemed a little bit speechless, "I don't know what to say about the business."

"Sister Mary, you can't do this," Jane said seriously. "Look, the CEO hasn't come to the company yet.

You have to call him."

Mary held the phone and hesitated for a long time.

What Jane said at lunch time was still vivid in her mind. She should call him as an assistant or wife. But

they just had a quarrel yesterday. Wouldn't it be too shameful for her to call him voluntarily?

Just when Mary was full of contradictions, Kevin rushed over again.

"Mary, bad news. "

"What's wrong?" Mary was startled.

"There is a meeting about the real estate cooperation this afternoon. The sponsor has already come,

but the CEO hasn't shown up yet. What should we do?" Sweat began to form on Kevin's face.

"Did you call him? "

"I called him, but he didn't answer."

Mary frowned and wondered what had happened to William. He always didn't show up at the critical

moment.

"When will the meeting start?" Asked Mary.

"Half past one."

Mary looked at her watch and it was almost the time. "Is it possible for Manager Jetta to attend the

meeting on behalf of the CEO? "

Kevin shook his head and said, "This cooperation is handled directly by the CEO. "

"Then you can go and stall for a while," said Mary. "I'll try to call him."

"Okay, fine." Kevin walked quickly to the meeting room.

Mary made the call without hesitation.

"Sorry, the number you dialed cannot be connected for the time being. Please redial later..."

She dialed again, but the call was still unanswered.

Damn it! You are really making trouble for me, William!

Mary hung up the phone angrily. When she was at a loss, she suddenly thought of Lucas. Maybe he

went to drink with Lucas?

At the same time, Mary dialed Lucas's number. The phone rang for several times before it was picked

up.

"Hello, Sister-in-law. What's up?" Lucas grinned.

"Well, Lucas, are you with William?" Mary went straight to the point.

"No, I'm on out-call in C-City," said Lucas, "What's wrong?"

"William is disappeared. I can't get through to him."

"No way!" Lucas said in shock on the other side of the phone, "He disappeared without saying goodbye

to others? Didn't he go to the company? "

"No." Mary sighed.

"Did you contact his friends?"

"I..." "I don't know phone numbers of others." Mary was a little bit embarrassed.

Lucas frowned and thought, 'Right. How could William tell such a nominal wife his friends' phone

numbers?'

"Let me ask it for you." Said Lucas.

"Okay," said Mary gratefully. "If you have any news about him, please tell him to call me back. Thank

you."

"You're welcome, Sister-in-law," comforted Lucas, "Don't worry. William is a man of sense. Don't worry

too much, Sister-in-law."

"Okay, I won't."

After hanging up the calling from Mary, Lucas thought of Frank.

He called William first, but he still couldn't get through.

Then, who would he be with?

Frank. Undoubtedly, it was Frank.

Lucas immediately called Frank.

"Sorry, the subscriber you dialed is power off. Please redial later..."

Lucas hung up the phone with a cold face and scolded. Were the two going to elope? 'Are you trying to

get rid of the worldly shackles and pursue the so-called love?! What a joke! Do you want to leave the

company and your family behind? Immature!'

Lucas took out his phone and sent a message to William, "Text me back when you see the message."

Mary received a call from Lucas and sighed deeply.

When she arrived at the meeting room, she found that the investors were walking out angrily.

"I'm really sorry." Manager Jetta couldn't help apologizing, "Our CEO has something urgent to deal

with. It's our fault this time." Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

"Manager Jetta," a capable middle-aged man said, "I think your company, AJ Group, is a big company

and it should have a good reputation. I didn't expect that the first cooperation would surprise us in such

a way! Your CEO doesn't even show up. I'm sorry that we can't keep you accompany!"

"I'm really sorry. Sorry." Manager Jetta bent over and apologized, "Let's make an apology in person

another day."

The group of people went into the elevator.

"Thank you anyway." Mary walked to Manager Jetta and said.

"Ah," Manager Jetta wiped the sweat off the forehead and said, "I will be troublesome if the reputation

of the company is ruined. Mrs. Mary, where on earth has the CEO been? "

"He... Mary said haltingly, "He is sick and has been sent to the emergency. "

Manager Jetta frowned deeply and looked at Mary suspiciously.

Mary was very panic and said, "I... I'm leaving now. I have a lot of things to do. Manager Jetta, you can

go back to your work."

Then Mary ran away in a flash. 'The wife of the CEO is not someone ordinary can afford, ' she thought.

When she called William again, his phone has powered off.

Mary was restless. Until she got off work, there were rumors in the company. Some said that the CEO

fled with money, some said that he was seriously ill, and some even said that he was kidnapped... All

eyes were fixed on the Mary, the wife of the CEO, hoping that she could give everyone an explanation.

For a moment, everyone was jittery, and Mary was pushed to the top of the tornado. In fact, she didn't

know either. She was also afraid when she heard the rumors. Sometimes, she even thought that even

if William was kidnapped, at least she knew whether he was alive or dead.

"Kevin," before getting off work, Mary stopped Kevin, "Tell all department managers to spread the news

that William is in the emergency in hospital. Tell them, it's... Oh, I don't know. Just mentioned a disease

that can't be known to the public."

"Okay, I know." Kevin nodded.

"Go ahead. Don't miss any information."

Mary had an unspeakable sense of powerlessness. Who on earth did William look for that night?

'There was no clue at all. Should we call the police tomorrow?'

She rushed back home and called the father of William. At this time, the only person she thought of

might be the one who had some connection with William.

"Hello? It's Mary." Timothy said kindly.

"Father," said Mary, holding the phone nervously.

"What's up?"

"William..." As soon as Mary opened her mouth, she suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Judging from the relationship between the two of them, Timothy must not know about the

'disappearance' of William. If she said it, it would cause misunderstanding...

"Hello? Mary? What's wrong? What's wrong with William?"

"Ah... "No," said Mary as she came to her senses. "It's that the wedding photos of William and me have

been taken back. I want to tell you and send you the electronic version."

"Okay, okay, okay." Timothy smiled generously on the other end of the phone, "Thank you for reminding

me of this, Mary."

"It's okay, father," said Mary with a forced smile. "Father, I have something to deal with. Let's talk about

it later."

"Okay, okay. Just go ahead with your work."

After hanging up the phone, Mary threw herself on the bed and didn't want to move anymore.

Not knowing how long it had passed, Mary was woken up by the vibration of the phone at hand. It

turned out that she had fallen asleep unconsciously.

She picked up the phone and found it was from Lucas. She quickly got up and answered it, "Hello?

What's going on? Is there any news about William? "

"Yes," replied Lucas in a low voice. "He sent me a message saying that he was fine. "

"So, when will he come back?" Mary asked anxiously.

"He didn't told me." Lucas] sighed, "I called him as soon as I received his message, but it's too late. His

phone powered off."

"What?" Mary frowned and asked, "What on earth is he going to do? Did he leave by himself? Doesn't

he care about such a big company anymore?"

"He..." After a pause, Lucas thought that he didn't have to tell her about William's private affair between

him and Frank. Besides, it was useless to tell her. "Sister-in-law, we have to wait."

"Wait for him to come back?" "Then let's wait." Mary smiled and said finally.

"Sister-in-law..."

"Don't call me Sister-in-law!" All of a sudden, Mary interrupted Lucas in a hurry. She hate William so

much. But she was so regretful that she had uttered those words just know, "I'm sorry... Lucas, I'm

really sorry... I didn't mean it. I... I'm sorry. I didn't mean that!"

"I know." With a smile on his face, Lucas said, "William has told me everything about you and him."

"We..."

"The fake marriage." Lucas continued, "I really shouldn't have called you Sister-in-law. Then, I'll call you

Mary."

"Okay. Call me Mary." "Thank you for not being angry with me." Mary signed a relief.

"I will also get angry if such a thing happens to me. It's all right," Lucas said with a smile. "William left

without saying goodbye, leaving a mess for you. It's really annoying."

"I should deal with it well even it is messing up." Mary smiled bitterly.

"Mary. Don't worry. Go to bed first. Maybe he will come back one day."

"Okay. Bye." Mary looked at the time. It was eleven o'clock already.
