Chapter 54 Back To Hometown
Chapter 54 Back To Hometown
"How many days?"
"A week."
"Five days." Said William with a cold face.
"Five days!" Mary frowned and thought, 'It will take two days on the way. What can I do in five days?'
"Five days is too short. I..."
"There is no room for negotiation. Just five days."
"But I..."
"I don't think you want to go back."
"Don't, don't," Mary stopped him immediately, "Five days, five days."
It seemed that she had no choice but to compromise in her battle with the CEO.
"When will you come back?"
"Five days later," Mary counted with her fingers, "Well... Tuesday."
"Monday night." Said William firmly.
"What? !" Mary frowned and asked, "It will take me one day to go home! Come back on Monday. I only
have four days off!"
"I need your cooperation on Tuesday."
With a sigh in her heart, Mary nodded and said, "I know."
"Okay." "Get out," said William.
"Yes, Boss." Mary nodded, turned around and left dejectedly.
The moment the door was closed, William raised his head to look at the back of Mary. All of a sudden,
he picked up the landline phone on the table and dialed a number.
"Hello? Manager Ewan."
"Boss? Do you have any instructions?"
"What's the schedule of Victor recently?"
"Oh, Victor is going to Z-city to attend a fan meeting these days..."
"Has he already set out?" Asked William anxiously.
"Ah," Manager Ewan was a little confused. Since when did the CEO care about these trifles? "Let me
see... Hmm... Yes, Boss. He will take the flight this morning."
"All right, all right." The phone was hung up by William immediately.
It's too late to stop them. Are you picking up these days to go home on purpose, Mary? Or is this your
fate?
On the second morning, after packing up, Mary went to the hospital and hurried to catch the train
home.
The family was broken. Two years ago, her father sold all the valuable things in the family. If it weren't
for her mother's name on the property ownership certificate, the house would have been sold by him. In
that case, she really didn't have a 'home'. If so, Mary didn't even have a place to stay at home.
As soon as she got off the train, she felt the "enthusiasm" from her hometown, and a heat wave came.
As soon as Mary walked out of the exit, she saw a group of people surrounding her and walking
forward.
"Miss, would you like to book a room? It's very cheap."
"Do you want to take a taxi? It won't take long."
"Are you traveling here? Where are you going? We will send you for free."
Mary refused one by one with a smile. She had been an outsider since she left home for a few years.
When she was about to hail a taxi home, she saw two or three bodyguards in black suits and
sunglasses coming out from nowhere and surrounding her. Not only was Mary frightened, but also the
people around her looked at her frequently.
Mary held her bag tightly and said, "You... What are you going to do! Who are you? !"
"Madam." All of the bodyguards bowed their heads.
"Ma... Madam?" Hearing that, the corners of Mary's mouth twitched unconsciously. "You, you are sent
here by William?"
"Yes, Madam." The leading bodyguard said, "Madam, please get in the car. We will escort you back."
'It's not a lie, is it?' Mary thought.
When she was thinking, her phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Have you gotten in the car, Mary?"
It was a calm voice of William from the other end of the phone.
"You... You mean the bodyguards?"
"Yeah."
"Not yet..."
"Forget it."
"Well... "
"Du, du, du..."
Startled, Mary shouted at the phone, "Hello? Hello? Have you hung up?"
"Du, du, du..."
She still heard the busy tone. Then she realized that William had really hung up the phone. So why did
he call her?
"Madam, shall we get in the car?" The bodyguard standing aside said respectfully.
"Okay, get in the car." Mary nodded. She thought it to be a treatment.
A bodyguard led the way, a bodyguard carried the luggage, and two bodyguards protected her. This
was the treatment of the wife of the CEO!
Sitting in the car, Mary looked around idly. At first, she tried to talk to these bodyguards, but they didn't
say anything except "Yes, madam."
The scenery outside the car window was fleeting. Suddenly, Mary found a huge photo of Victor
flickering on the International Trade Building.
'The meeting of Victor's fans will be held from August 20th to 23th. See you at the International Trade
Building. '
"Did Victor also come to Z-city?" Mary muttered, "Should I call him?"
"Madam, how should I drive next?"
"Ah, oh..." Mary came to her senses and said, "Keep driving, and turn left at the next intersection."
"Yes, Madam."
Looking at the increasingly rugged road, the peace of the road was somewhat apologetic. 'Although
they were bodyguards, they have never been to the countryside I guess. I don't know if they could
stand such a remote place.'
After another half an hour, they finally arrived at the small village where Mary used to live.
The laughter of the children on the street was still the same, but they had different faces.
"Madam, where do you live?"
"Oh, it's not far away," said Mary with a smile. "You can stop here. The road inside is more difficult to go
through."
"Boss asked us to send Madam home."
"It's not far from my home now," said Mary, as she opened the door and got out of the car. "I will arrive
there soon. You can just stop here."
Then she pulled her suitcase and left, not caring whether the bodyguards were following her or not.
In front of the familiar house, Mary wiped the sweat on her face.
"Ah, it's Mary! "
"Uncle Ban!" Mary turned around and saw her neighbor Uncle Ban walking towards his home with a
hoe on his shoulder, "Long time no see! "
"Yeah, Mary. Why are you back? Is everything okay outside?" Uncle Ban said with the most honest
smile on his wrinkled face.
"Yeah, everything is fine. How are you, Uncle Ban and Auntie Bonnie? "
"It's still the same. Mary, what about your mother? "
"She is still in the hospital. "
"Ah, Mary, You must be tired. You can go home if you are tired outside. "
"Okay, thank you." Mary smiled.
"Come on in. It's so hot there. "
"Uncle Ban, you should go back now also. "
"Okay, I'll go back now. "
Mary opened the rusty door and walked inside with her suitcase. Everything in front of her seemed to
be the same as she had left, but in the end, there was still something different. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
For example, the family affection. For example, the state of mind.
She pushed the door open and smelled the dust.
The room was empty, except for a nearly scrapped TV. There was only a hard empty bed in the
bedroom. Fortunately, it was in Summer, or there was nothing to cover.
After a simple cleaning, Mary borrowed the hot water from Uncle Ban's house next door to make
instant noodles. Then she sat on the bed and turned on the TV.
There were snowflakes flying in the TV from time to time, and the image was not clear, but at least
there was a voice that could accompany Mary through loneliness.
The steaming instant noodles quickly aroused the appetite of Mary, but before she had a few bites, her
phone rang again.
"Hello? "
"Mary, it's me."
"Victor... Why do you call me?" Mary took out her phone and looked at the time. "At this time, you
should be at the fans meeting, right?"
"You know it?" On the other side of the phone, Victor smiled and said. "It's break now."
"So... You call me?" Mary raised her eyebrows.
"Well, I want to see what you are doing. Are you tired with work?"
"I'm not working." Mary smiled suddenly and said, "Guess where I am now."
"At home?" "Are you sick?" asked Victor nervously.
"No." Mary smiled, "I'm in Z-city."
"Z-city? !" Victor was shocked, "Are you here to chase me?"
"Ha ha," said Mary with a smile, "It's a good dream. Z-city is my hometown. I'm coming home."
"Really?" Victor got excited at once, "It seems that I am in your territory. Shouldn't you be the host to
treat me? At least invite me to your home!"
"Forget it. My home is too far away. There is nothing. You'd better not come over."
"It doesn't matter. I just want to have a look."
"Don't you have a tight schedule? How can you have time to get out alone?" Mary took a sip of the
noodles.
"There will always be time. How many days will you stay here?"
"Four days."
"Okay, I'll call you when I have time. I'm leaving now. I'm going to the stage. Bye... Bye."
"Well, I haven't agreed yet..."
Mary hung up the phone angrily. Why didn't everyone wait her to finish the words.
This time, she came back to her hometown mainly to see the fragrans tree she had planted in her
previous home. Although it had been sold to someone else two years ago, it was still okay to go back
and have a look.
Mary wanted to take some photos for her mother, and then bring some fragrans back. She did her best
by this.
She called the owner of the fragrans tree. The man was very enthusiastic. He said that the fragrans
were in full bloom now and she could go to see them tomorrow. Mary was so happy that she almost
jumped up.
Mary put on her casual sneakers and came to the fragrans tree.
Fragrans bloomed in August, and the fragrance floated ten miles.
Before they arrived at the destination, Mary smelled a strong fragrance of fragrans in the air.
Sure enough, it was still the taste of memory. When she closed her eyes, she could still remember the
scene of running here in her childhood.
"Du, du."
"Hello?" Mary answered the phone.
"Where are you?" It was Victor's voice.
"In a beautiful place." Mary closed her eyes and smiled.
"Oh?" There was a smile in Victor's words. "Can I go with you?"
"Yes, of course..." Mary thought for a while and said, "If you have time and if you can find me, just
come. I'll wait for you for half an hour. What do you think?"
"Okay, no problem. Wait for me."
