Love Contract
Chapter 238 Banning Beth (P art One)

The family of four reached the 32nd floor shortly.

Jane, who had just come back to work after the marriage leave, jumped out of the desk excitedly when she saw Mary and the children. "Mary, why are you here?"

"I just came here to have a look," said Mary as she nodded at Jane. "How have you been?"

As the two ladies greeted each other, William stood aside while holding the two kids in his arms.

"I am fine," Jane responded with a smile. "Mary, boss... Are the two kids in boss's arms your children?"

"Well... yes, they are." Mary nodded and said to the two kids, "Say hi to Aunt Jane."

"Hello, Aunt Jane."

"Aunt Jane, hi."

"Good boy! Good girl!" Jane said with a maternal look. "They are so adorable, Mary. This little boy looks exactly like boss! The little girl looks like you too! I'm so envious!" "If you are envious, you should work hard with Kevin!" Mary teased her, and laughed.

"Mary..." Jane whispered her name shyly.

"Dad, can I go out and play anywhere?" asked Elissa.

"Sure, but you have to stay on this floor only or you'll be lost." After putting Elissa down, William said to Alick, "Alick, go with your sister. Don't run or you'll get hurt."

"Got it!"

"Alick, you have to follow me. I've been here before," said Elissa proudly.

"Well, Mary, I won't disturb you," said Jane as she stroked her stomach. "I'm going to have lunch. I'm so hungry."

"Oh, right," said Mary, and she lifted the lunch box she was carrying. "Look, I brought this lunch. Have a taste of my cooking!"

"Wow, really? May I?" Jane's eyes lit up. "Then I must have a try!" When she was about to take it, a big hand snatched the lunch box away from her before she could even touch it.

With an unfriendly look on his face, William held the lunch box and said to Jane coldly, "You can go to the canteen to eat."

"William!" The corners of Mary's mouth twitched, and her face suddenly flushed. Jane was stunned. It took a few seconds before she was able to process what was happening. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Then I'll go to the canteen for lunch. Mary, I'm afraid no one else could have the honor to enjoy your lunch except boss!" With that, she ran away while giggling.

"Jane!" Mary called her again but Jane was already in the elevator.

"Let's go eat." Naturally, William took Mary's hand and led her to the lounge.

"You! You're so shameless!" Ashamed, Mary buried her face in her hands and cried out loud, "It's just a lunch, isn't it?"

"It's not a simple lunch." William smiled and said sincerely, "You brought it for me particularly. How can I give it to others?"

Mary was speechless. She did not expect his response.

The two kids were playing happily in the lounge. When they saw their parents come in, they just ignored them, busy with their game.

"It smells so good!" William opened the lunchbox excitedly, sat on the sofa, and began eating.

"Slow down." Mary ladled a bowl of porridge for him.

"No, I can't. It's too delicious." William shook his head. Looking at Elissa, he asked, "By the way, do you know that Elissa has been here before?"

"Of course I know." Mary nodded.

"You knew?" William's eyes widened.

"Yes." Mary nodded and explained, "Elissa said she came here to replace Victor. When I found out that she had met you, I was shocked."

"Eh?" William curled his lips and said, "What are you talking about? Why were you shocked? At that time, I thought this little girl was very adorable so I carried her downstairs. Do you think it was a father- daughter connection?"

"Yes, I think so." With a warm smile, Mary nodded and said, "Just eat. When they finish playing, ask someone to send them back home. I'm leaving now."

"Why don't you stay longer?" William stopped her and said, "Mary, I suggest that you think about it."

"About what?"

"Being my assistant!" William held her and pulled her closer. "I'll get a kitchen on this floor. You'll be responsible for my meal and we'll eat together everyday. If I get tired, you can come to the lounge with me." "Is there such a good job?" Mary asked with raised eyebrows.

"Yes!" William nodded immediately. "Well, I'll go out and tell Jane to post the recruitment information." As she spoke, Mary stood up and continued, "I believe you'll replace a satisfying assistant based on your charm. Bye for now.

Alick and Elissa, be good! Mommy is going to work now."

Mary turned around and walked out.

"Bye, Mommy!"

"Bye, Mommy!" Elissa waved at Mary and then pulled William's hand suddenly. "Dad, play with me!"

"Wait a minute, Elissa. I'll see Mommy off first." William stood up and chased after Mary while shouting her name. "Mary! Mary! Wait for me!"

"Why did you follow me?" Mary asked him while frowning.

"Oh, I don't want anyone else to be my assistant. I want you only." William held her hand. "As for those female assistants, I've already put them somewhere else. Look at this place. Except for Jane, there are no female creatures."

"Well." Mary rubbed her nose with embarrassment. "Okay, okay. I got it, Mr. Lan. Go back now. Bye."

"Can't I just drive you there?" William asked with grievance on his face. "You are becoming more and more fierce. I like you more at night when you are obedient."

"Damn you!" All of a sudden, Mary covered his mouth and looked around to make sure nobody heard what William had said. They had just arrived at the parking lot outside the building. Her face turned red and she glared at William threateningly. "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Ha ha! I'm just telling the truth." William raised an eyebrow and said with a cunning smile, "I'll go back early tonight."

Mary could not help but blush again and William could not stop teasing her. "Go home anytime you want. I'll go home late anyway," Mary said fiercely. She opened the car door and turned to William one last time. "Take care of the kids. I really have to go."

With a loud bang, Mary slammed the car door shut and drove away.

With his hands in his pockets, William watched the car go with a loving look in his eyes.

In the CEO's office.

Elissa ran to William's leather office chair and enjoyed herself.

Click. Click. Click.

Wearing 10-centimeter high stilettoes, Beth walked towards William's office gracefully while wearing sunglasses and a handbag on her arm.

"Mr. Lan," Beth pushed the door open and called William's name coquettishly. She took off her sunglasses, revealing her heavy makeup. She looked around, only to see William was nowhere to be found. She took a closer look and saw a little girl sitting at the desk.

'Who is this kid?' Beth thought. She twisted her waist, threw her sunglasses on the table, and shouted at Elissa, "Who are you, kiddo? What are you doing here? Where is the CEO?" "What is CEO? I came here to see my father, Aunty," Elissa raised her head and answered respectfully.

"Aunty?" Beth stared at her with her hands on her hips. "Who are you? Such an uneducated brat! Haven't your parents taught you how to address others properly?! You must be the daughter of that damn assistant outside!

How dare you sneak in here? Who do you think you are?" Beth pointed at Elissa and scolded her. The more she scolded, the angrier she became. Suddenly, she reached out and pulled Elissa's ear. "You little freak!"

"Ouch!" Elissa cried in pain. She instinctively reached for her ear and tears welled up in her eyes. "You are a bad woman!" she roared. "I'll ask Dad to beat you up!" "Beat me up? Humph!" Beth sneered, and reached out to grab Elissa's hair. "Okay! Go ahead! Ask your father to come here and see if he can beat me up!" she shouted menacingly.

"Ouch! It hurts! It hurts!" Elissa cried out because of fear and pain. She struggled to get out from Beth's grab and screamed, "Dad, help me! Mommy! Woo! Alick!"

"Elissa!" Hearing his sister's cry, Alick ran to the office immediately. As soon as he saw his sister being bullied, he rushed over and pulled Beth's clothes. "Let go of my sister!"
