Chapter 48 Advertising
There seemed to be a hint of sadness in the air. Mary frowned and wondered if he really cared about
her? She raised her head and saw the eyes of William who was staring at her, with the same
expression as usual. Mary laughed at herself and thought that she thought too much.
"I'll change the bed sheet for you." With an unfriendly look on her face, she pulled a pile of things in the
arms of Lancy. What happened that night had an indelible shadow in her heart. She had been resisting
entering that room.
Since William had lowered his self-respect and begged for her cooperation, as his 'good wife' bought
with money, she would naturally abide by her duties.
Mary bent down and laid the bed sheet meticulously.
William stood behind her with his arms crossed.
It was so quiet in the room that they could hear each other's breathing. Mary felt that the burning eyes
on her back had been staring at her, making her uncomfortable.
"Have you dealt with what happened last time?" Mary broke the eerie atmosphere.
"Yeah." Of course, William knew what she meant by "what happened last time".
"That's good." Mary nodded. Without the paparazzi following her, she could go to the hospital to see
her mother. She didn't want the person she wanted to protect to get involved in the trouble.
"Do you want to advertise?"
Said William all of a sudden.
"You ask me?" After tidying up the bed sheet, Mary turned around and stared at William.
"Yes."
"I'm not interested in it." Mary said coldly and cross over William, "You can sleep now."
"You will be paid. Don't you want to get the money?" William frowned.
"No, thanks." Without looking back, Mary closed the door. It was just an accident that she got into such
a big trouble last time. She didn't know what would happen if she advertised again.
Although she needed money, she knew what money she should earn and what she shouldn't.
Shaking his head, William got on the bed.
The bed was filled with a faint fragrance, which seemed to be able to make people sleep well.
Early in the morning, when William got up and opened the door, the smell of food had already wafted
out from the kitchen. He smiled faintly and was about to go to the kitchen, but he saw that Mary while
changing shoes at the door.
Before he could open his mouth, Mary had already opened the door, leaving only his back in the crack
of the door.
She was still avoiding him. William frowned. He caught a glimpse of the huge wedding photo on the
wall. The two of them smiled like flowers. At this moment, it seemed to be a great irony.
The morning sunshine shone into the meeting room.
"I think it's better to let Victor to be pictured." Manager Dobby of the planning department said,
"Recently, Victor has received a lot of attention from the media. If he takes pictures, he will definitely
attract a lot of attention."
"This time, we are going to shoot a publicity video of our company's real estate, and the key point is the
word 'warm'," someone retorted. "Although Victor is famous, he is not in line with this theme."
"Yes, yes." The words drew much discussion.
Sitting in the front and listening to the opinions of the crowd, William didn't express too much and
seemed to be somewhat absent-minded.
Last night, why did he want Mary to be the actress in this publicity video? Was it because of the
director's suggestion? Or was it because he thought she acted well last time?
"In my opinion," another person said, "We can find a model couple in the entertainment circle and let
them to act in this publicity video together, which shows the meaning of our company to the word
'home'."
"That's a good idea."
"Yes, that's feasible."
Couple? Home?
With his misty eyes, William suddenly knocked on the table with his fingers. His voice was not loud, but
it was the biggest move that he had done since he entered the meeting room.
Everyone looked up at him.
"How about this?" said William unhurriedly, "My wife, Mary, and I act in this publicity video together."
Hearing this, all the people in the meeting room burst into an uproar and looked at William with
confusion.
"We are a couple, and also the head of the company," said William, his eyes shining. "Let's act in this
advertising video for the building, which will undoubtedly increase the confidence of the consumers."
"Yes," Manager Jetta said excitedly, pounding the table. "We can make the publicity video into a public
service publicity video, which will not only remove the fame and interests of stars, but also reflect the
concept of 'home'."
"It can also make up for the accident caused by the previous demolition and restore the company's
image."
"Yes, yes."
"Okay, that's it," said William, nodding with satisfaction.
When this result was conveyed by Kevin, there was a look of contempt on the face of Mary.
What kind of public service publicity video? That was to say, she wouldn't be paid? According to the
terms of the contract, 'Party B must try to cooperate with Party A's work under all possible conditions'.
William used this term to successfully make Mary speechless.
If she knew that she couldn't escape the fate of advertising sooner or later, she didn't have to pretend
to be strong. It was always good to be paid.
But it was inconceivable to think that William would act in an advertisement.
"Go to the studio with me this afternoon." Standing in front of the desk of Mary, William said arrogantly.
"Got it." Mary raised her head and looked at him.
"Are you going to have the meal?"
"Boss, please go first. I still have some work to finish."
Mary gave him an indifferent expression and a cold tone. Was still Mary who would jump up and down
when she heard that she had got a raise in salary? Was this still the woman who would smile when she
knew that there was delicious food?!
William snorted and walked towards his office.
The moment he turned around, Mary suddenly raised her head. 'What's wrong with William? He seems
to be fawning on me. Is he atoning for his sin?'
The studio full of people. Everyone was preparing the props.
With the arm of Mary on William's arm, she smelled the light scent of him and her back was stiff.
The smell always reminded her of that crazy night.
Seeing William and Mary came, Director Jamie welcomed them in person.
"Oh, you're finally here." Director Jamie said with a smile, "You are really a perfect match. You are no
worse than the actors." Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
"I'm flattered," said William with a smile. "If something goes wrong later, please forgive me."
"Don't say that."
After a small talk, the director talked to them.
"Actually, there's no need to act," said Director Jamie boldly. "Just show the scene that you two love
each other at home. Try to be natural and don't panic..."
Mary smiled silently, 'Aren't we acting now? It should be very natural.'
"The first scene was that Mr. William was playing the piano and Mrs. Mary was watching affectionately.
Then the two hugged each other affectionately. The second scene was that Mrs. Mary was cooking in
the kitchen. Mr. William gently walked over and hugged her from behind."
Mary frowned imperceptibly. What she was afraid of would really come. Now, she resisted all physical
contact with William, but the director wanted her to contact him.
"It's very simple, isn't it?" The more Jamie said, the more excited he became. "These are just normal
scenes. It's not difficult. Please read the script. It will start soon."
"Okay." William nodded with a smile.
"Play the piano? You can?" Mary couldn't help smiling. Although William was from a 'rich' family, he
didn't have the good cultivation that a person from a 'rich' family should have.
Domineering, stingy, neat freak, dead face, but he was not as gentle as she imagined only.
"You'll know when you see it." With a confident smile at the corners of his mouth, William didn't seem to
care about the suspicion of Mary just now.
Raising her eyebrows, Mary said, "I'm waiting for Boss to show your skills."
In the dressing room, Mary was being played by Amelia. "I haven't seen you for a long time. You are
still beautiful."
"Amelia is also very beautiful." Mary smiled.
"What color of suit do you think looks good?" All of a sudden, William came over and asked.
"There is a designer and a stylist. Why do you ask me?" With her eyes closed, Mary waited for Amelia
to put on makeup for her.
"Your opinion is the most important."
Huh... With a sneer in her heart, Mary said calmly, "Blue."
"Why?"
"Because your surname is Lan (In Chinese, 'blue' is called 'lan')."
"Puff..." The two men's faces were emotionless, but Amelia couldn't help but burst into laughter. "It's my
lady who can say such wonderful words!" Amelia kept smiling and said, "Boss is so lucky to have such
a wife."
"Yes, I am." Without refuting, William raised her eyebrows, turned around and left.
"Mary, would you like a blue dress?" Amelia teased.
"Forget it. My surname is not Lan."
With her hair coiled up, Mary wore a beige seven sleeve hollow out dress, a blue belt and eight
centimeter high heels. She looked noble and elegant.
As soon as she walked out of the dressing room, she saw William who was in front of the white piano
with his back to her.
Did he really wear a blue suit?
Seeming to feel Mary, William slowly turned around with a gentle smile on his face.
"My lady, let me play a song for you, okay?"
Behind him was warm sunshine, with a hazy halo around him. He wore a sapphire blue suit and a
beige tie, which matched perfectly with the clothes of Mary.
His tall figure, elegant smile and the sapphire blue suit suited him very well.
He sat slowly in front of the piano, with his slender fingers on the black and white keys. The corners of
his mouth slightly raised. Looking at Mary again, he moved his fingers.
Mary took two steps forward, looking incredulous, shocked and intoxicated.
In the eyes of others, the scene was extremely beautiful.
"Victor, let's go. There is an announcement tonight." Jorge patted Victor who was stunned.
Victor frowned and said nothing. He had just come to the studio to take a few groups of photos. After
changing his clothes and coming out, he saw that William and Mary were advertising.
He was jealous that the beautiful Mary was standing with William. But what made him more jealous
was the way she looked at him.
It seemed that there were only the two of them in the world, and there was only one person in the eyes
of Mary. The person was exactly William. She was so obsessed and indifferent, making him jealous
and crazy.
Victor held his hands tightly and his knuckles crunched. He snorted coldly, "Let's go."
'William, do you want to experience the crash and burn?'
