Love Contract
Chapter 225 Making You Famous (Part Two)

And with that, she walked to the living room and turned on the TV at once.

"It is reported that at the 10th anniversary of AJ Group last night, Mr. William Lan, the CEO of AJ Group, showed off his dancing skills then left early in the middle of the party while holding a female manager from GM Universing Studios, whose surname is Lu..."

Mary watched the video of William's wonderful dancing on TV with her mouth wide open. The memories of last night seemed to flash into her mind all at once and she forgot how to react.

Hearing the familiar sound, William walked over from the table and said while smiling, "Well done shooting."

Mary wanted to scold him, so she turned around to glare at him and then changed the channel abruptly.

"Let's look at the entertainment news that happened yesterday. At a dinner party, the Hollywood star Archer Song behaved intimately with a man. Here is the picture of the two. The two men in the picture were talking and laughing happily, which made people doubt the new star's sexual orientation." William stepped forward with his brows furrowed when he saw the picture of the two on TV.

Mary pressed the button of the remote control to switch channels. The news of last night was overwhelming.

"Gosh! I'm done."

Mary felt frustrated. 'Damn it! The world has turned upside down and it's still morning! I am so foolish!'

"It doesn't matter. I've read the news about us. It's not that bad," said William indifferently with his hands inside his pockets.

"This is so unexpected! I never dreamed of this!" The entertainment host's voice came on TV. "The CEO of the film and television company is not only handsome and rich, but also capable! Look..."

As the news anchor spoke, a video of William dancing to the Latin music was shown on screen. The host continued, "Such a man is definitely the best husband a girl could even dream of in her heart! I believe that even you won't be able to suppress your love and admiration for him! But my dear audience, let's see what happened next!"

The host stretched out his hand and slid the screen. Suddenly, several photos of William and Mary leaving together appeared.

"Alas," said the host as he pretended to feel sorry, "It's a pity that he has already a girlfriend. After such a passionate dance, I wonder where this handsome CEO has taken his girl and what did they do after? Ha ha! I'm sure everyone knows it," said the news anchor with a grin.

"Is this also 'not bad'? Ha ha! Ha ha!" Mary did not know whether to laugh or to cry. It seemed that the whole world knew that she eloped with him last night.

A few steps to the balcony, Mary saw several suspicious people in the community. If they went out now, they would be photographed, wouldn't they?

But what should she do now? She had not been mentally prepared for this. Things went too fast.

In the CEO's office of GM Universing Studios.

Barry looked at the overwhelming news on the computer and closed the website coldly. He just went out for a while last night, but such a wonderful story happened. Mary's phone was still powered off.

Did Mary really run away with him?

'Damn it! Why wasn't it me? How could Mary still love William Lan after all this time?'

Knock. Knock. Knock.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Barry calmed down and said in a low voice, "Come in." "Mr. Gu," his assistant, Cooper, came in with a folder in his hand and said, "there are two documents that need your signature."

"Okay." Barry nodded and signed his name.

"Well..."

"Anything else?" Barry looked up.

"Well," Cooper said reluctantly, "Selah is waiting outside. She said she wanted to see you."

Barry frowned and said, "I told you I would not see anyone this morning. Let her go."

"I won't leave! I want to terminate the contract with you!" While Barry ad Cooper were still talking, Selah suddenly pushed the door open and walked up to Barry in her high heels. "I want to terminate my contract with the company!"

Barry just looked at her and said nothing. He was still mad and this woman came to make trouble again. Did she really think that he could not do anything to her? Too young and too naive! "Gosh! Selah, please calm down." Cooper held her hand and said, "Let's go outside to discuss

"No need!"

"No need."

Barry and Selah spoke in unison, which left Cooper stunned. "You can leave now, Cooper." Barry waved his hand.

"Eh... Yes, sir." Cooper left quickly, closing the door behind him.

"I want to terminate the contract with the company!" With her handbag in her hand, Selah patted on Barry's desk with an imposing manner.

"Ha!" Barry snorted. He casually put his hands in his pockets, stood up carelessly and answered, "You don't have to repeat a sentence for so many times. I can hear you." "You..." Selah gritted her teeth. She remembered how he insulted her last night and now she felt angry to the bones. "Then you'd better terminate the contract now!"

"Who is your agent?" Barry ignored her nonsense and asked indifferently.

"Well... Natalie Tang."

"Okay." Barry nodded and continued, "Have you told her that you want to terminate the contract?"

"Not yet." Selah's arrogance gradually faded away.

"Where is she now?"

"She has taken another artist out for a project." Selah sighed silently. How would Natalie spend so much time on her, an insignificant actress? "So," Barry tapped his fingers on the desk impatiently and said, "You just rushed into my office and said you wanted to terminate the contract with the company?"

"Yes, I did." Selah nodded confidently.

"Where is the lawyer's letter?" Barry snorted, "It seems that you'd like to deal with this though the judicial procedure. You should've at least brought a lawyer to discuss the termination process with me." "I..." Embarrassed, Selah bit her lips.

"Go back. Don't make trouble out of nothing here!" Barry said with his brows furrowed.

"I... I won't go back!" Selah made up her mind. "I didn't become famous here anyway. Why don't you terminate the contract yourself? At least I can go take some magazine photos instead."

"I don't think you have understood what's going on here." Barry stared at her. His voice was not threatening but the glint in his eyes said otherwise. "You can't terminate the contract just like that when the company is taking care of you. Understand? Do you know how much you'll have to pay for terminating the contract?"

"How much?" Selah swallowed hard but she pretended that she was unfazed by Barry's words.

Barry glanced at her. He knew that she would not give up until she reached the dead end. To make it clear to her he said, "I won't say anything more about your violation of the company's rules. I'm telling you right now that you have no chance of winning if this is taken to the court. Also, I heard that you have a son?"

"I..." Selah's face turned pale. She remembered the day when Ray had an accident so she had to leave the film shooting immediately. However, she ran into Barry and she did not think it would cause problems until now. Now that she thought of it, she was really scared!

Barry looked at her coldly. Her facial expression had shown everything. He felt uncomfortable at the thought that this 26-year-old woman in front of him had a son.

After all, she was his first woman in life. How could she...

"You have kept your son as a secret from the company," said Barry, trying to put aside the unhappiness in his mind. "At this point, the company can fire you completely! It seems that your contract termination fee is not less than three million dollars."

"If you have already found a new employer and they are willing to pay the money for you, I have no objection."

Selah's back and forehead broke a cold sweat. Impulse was a devil! Impulse was a devil indeed! "Then..." As if in a daze, Selah suddenly gave Barry a flattering smile and said, "Then Mr. Gu, I take back everything I said. I'm leaving."

"Wait!"

Barry stopped Selah in her tracks.

"Mr. Gu, is there anything else?" Selah turned around to face him and smiled sweetly. Her arrogance was no longer apparent.

Barry did not speak. Instead, he gazed at her from head to toe.

Selah was flustered by his stare. She covered her chest with her hands and stammered, "What... What do you want?"

"What are you hiding for?" Barry waved his hand impatiently and said, "I have seen everything. Ahem."

"You!" Selah blushed, stepped backward, and said, "Well, I'm leaving now if there's nothing else." "Yes, there is."

"What?"

"Let the company make you famous," Barry said calmly.

"Make me famous?" Selah opened her mouth wide in surprise. "Really? Is that possible?"

"Do you think my company doesn't have that ability or perhaps you just don't have the confidence?

"Of course I have the confidence!" Selah suddenly stood straight, puffed her chest out, and put her hands on her waist. Acting had always been her dream. If she had an opportunity to be famous, she would definitely to do everything to make it happen.

Looking at her high spirited face, Barry smiled.

Barry had checked Selah's information way back. He found out that as soon as she debuted on her career in acting as female supporting role, she won the new actress of the year. For some reason, she had had no achievement for more than a year and missed great opportunity.

"Mr. Gu? Mr. Gu?" Seeing that Barry was in a daze, Selah waved her arm and called him.

"Hmm? What?" Barry regained his composure instantly.

"I want to know why... Why do you suddenly want to make me famous?"

Yeah, why?

This idea suddenly appeared in Barry's mind just now. To be honest, now that she asked him for the reason, he did not know the answer.

"In our company, there are relatively few female artists of your style," Barry answered reluctantly. "I will try my best! I won't let you down, Mr. Gu! " Fortunately, Selah did not doubt his intentions anymore and she just expressed her gratitude sincerely.

"Okay." Barry nodded in satisfaction. "In that case, you are not allowed to work in night clubs anymore or take part in any other activities except for those arranged by the company."

"Agreed!"

"About your son, we must also keep it highly confidential."

Selah's eyes darkened but she did not say anything. She had already felt very sorry for Ray.

"You should know that if the truth is exposed, it will do harm to your son!" Barry frowned and continued, "Do you want your son to be exposed to the media early?"

"No, I don't."

"Then don't hesitate and do any mistakes. You must keep it confidential." Barry turned around and sat back in his office chair. "It's a long-term plan to make you famous. The decision will be made after the specific matters are discussed. You have to prepare yourself first."

"Okay. I understand."

"You can leave now."

"Okay." Selah nodded vigorously. She turned around and walked to the door before she faced Barry one last time. "Thank you so much, Mr. Gu. Bye!"
