Chapter 52 The Story Of Victor
Chapter 52 The Story Of Victor
With a wry smile, Mary covered her face and said, "I'm so useless, Victor."
"What do you mean 'useless'?" Victor was a little bit angry, "Do you think you are useless just because
you are hurt by him? Where is your backbone? Mary, when did you become like this? !"
"I don't know," said Mary, looking ahead with empty eyes. "I thought I was strong... I take care of my
sick mother and do several part-time jobs. I could even endure the humiliation I suffered when I first
come to the AJ Group. However, the appearance of William have made me collapse. The toughness
that I am proud of was shattered by his cold eyes..."
"Mary, how much do you love him?" said Victor, clenching his fists and gritting his teeth? Is that guy
worth your tears?"
"Not only for him, but also for my own sad life." Mary took a deep breath and said, "If I hadn't met you
by chance today, I wouldn't have said these words to anyone. Am I pathetic that I don't even have a
friend who can speak?"
"Am I not your friend?" Victor reached out his hand and rubbed Mary's head. "If you have anything to
say in the future, just tell me. I don't have friends either."
"Victor..." As soon as Mary raised her head, she seemed to see a different emotion in Victor's eyes.
"Mary," said Victor with a frown, "Are you crying so sadly for the affair between William and Frank? You
know it?"
Mary shook and her lips trembled, "You, Victor, you..."
"I have known it for a long time." Victor pursed his lips, restrained the hatred and pain in his eyes, and
said, "About them."
Mary's face turned pale, "You... Have you known everything?"
"I knew it long time ago. In fact, I don't feel anything as long as I know it." Victor looked into the
distance and said, "You will not be so sad if you listen to my story."
"Really?"
"Yeah." Victor sat up straight, fastened his seat belt, stepped on the gas and the car sped away at
once. "I'll take you to a quiet place. There are some words that need to be said slowly."
Mary nodded silently, speechless all the way.
Did everyone know it but only she was kept in the dark? She was not the appropriate one at all. It was
because of her "stupidity" that William signed the contract with her?
In a private club in the People's Square of A-city, Victor led Mary to a private box.
"Do you want to eat something?" Asked Victor.
"No, thanks." Mary shook her head. She was not in the mood to eat now.
"It's so boring to listen to the story only. Only some desserts will bring us more happiness." As Victor
spoke, he said to the well-trained waiters beside him, "Two macaroons, one cappuccino and one
orange juice."
"Okay, please wait a moment."
Looking out of the window, Mary saw people coming and going in the square, and the beach in front of Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
the square was full of people. Many people were going into the water in the early Summer.
The desserts were served soon. The waiter quietly closed the door, leaving enough private space for
the two.
"They are gay. I have already known it." Victor said slightly, "But you have found it before I tell you."
Mary held the cup tighter unconsciously.
"You didn't know anything about William and Frank, did you?"
"No, I didn't." Mary nodded.
"I was wrong about you. I thought you were working together with William and Frank. Then I found out
that you are the most innocent rabbit."
"Ah..." 'No wonder Victor said I have a strong taste when we first met. No wonder he kept asking me
whether I knew about Frank or not. It turns out that there are reasons, ' Mary thought.
"Do you want to know what happened between me and them?" "Why do I dislike William?" asked Victor
in a low and hoarse voice
"Yes, I do." Mary nodded.
"I just started my career five years ago. At that time, I didn't notice anything," said Victor with a bitter
smile. "I played all kinds of small roles, accepted all kinds of small advertisements, and even did such
jobs as drinking with others."
Mary frowned. She had known something like this as she has joined AJ Group for three years, but she
didn't expect that Victor had also joined at that time. "When I joined AJ Group, you were already a big
star."
"Well, you joined AJ Group too late." With a smile on his face, Victor said, "I played a bit role for a year.
As for the chance, I remember that it was on the new year's evening four years ago. My assistant told
me that there was a job for me. I didn't want to go, but he said that William was also there."
"William, in my opinion, he is beyond my reach, so I agreed immediately."
Beyond reach. Yeah, Mary nodded silently in his heart. No matter how long she had been with him, this
was the feeling that William gave her.
"It was in a large private box in a bar. Men and women are basically unknown stars and senior officers
of the company. It was the first time I met Frank."
"He is sitting right next to William. I thought he was also a new artist, wearing a white shirt. Someone
introduced him to me. He is the young master of ZJN Restaurant Chain. "
"At that time, a lot of people surrounded me and drunk me. I drank too much. When I went to the
restroom, I found something that I would never forget. " Victor smiled bitterly.
Mary had already guessed what he had seen. It must be the same as what she saw today. Only those
who had personally experienced it could understand the terrible feeling.
"They are at the wash basin in the restroom. Frank has his back to me. The two are together." Victor
took a sip of coffee and said, "It's my first time to see the real scene. I feel ashamed."
William saw me at a glance. I wanted to run away, but it was too late. William pushed Frank away. The
way Frank looked back at me made me realize that I was over."
All of a sudden, Mary didn't want to listen to the following story.
Generally speaking, if Victor broke the boss's secret, he should have been banished, or at least
suppressed. But now he was so successful, how could he get it? Mary didn't dare to think about it.
"What's wrong?" seeming to see the sympathy in the eyes of Mary, Victor smiled indifferently. "For so
many years, I have been keeping this matter in my heart. Today I can finally speak it out. You should be
happy for me."
"I returned to the private box with trepidation," said Victor. "The two didn't follow me. After a while,
Frank came in and sat next to me to drink with me. He didn't mention anything about what happened in
the restroom. "
"Of course I didn't want to drink, but no matter what his intention was, I had to bite the bullet to drink it.
But I didn't expect that he drugged me."
Drugged! The expression on Mary's face was more than shocking.
After a long time, Victor didn't say anything. Only he himself knew the pain in his heart. "That night, I
was sent to the hotel. I don't know who they are. My eyes are full of strange men. The drug took effect,
so I can only... "
"Oh my God!" Mary covered her mouth at once. How humiliating it was for a normal man! No wonder
he hated Frank so much!
With red eyes, Victor tried his best to restrain his trembling voice, "Frank threatened me with a video,
but even if he didn't threaten me, I didn't have the courage to say anything about them!"
"Victor..." Mary opened her mouth but didn't know what to say to comfort him.
"William came here later. I thought he would help me because I was his artist, but he just went further!"
Clenching his fists in resentment, Victor said, "He looked at me coldly and took back the tape. He said
that he would package me as the most popular star of the company. I will never forget that arrogant
and self-righteous attitude. I don't care about his pity."
"But I really have no choice. In their eyes, we are nobodies, and they have the right to decide our lives.
William kept his promise and made me famous in just three months. I held back my anger and could
only go against him from time to time. Is it ridiculous?"
"Don't say that, Victor..." Mary shook her head, "I don't know you..."
"Will you dislike me?" All of a sudden, Victor turned around and looked at Mary seriously, with a pitiful
look on his face.
Mary put her hand on his hand and said, "How could you think so, Victor? How can I dislike you? You
look so beautiful when you smile. You are the star that everyone admires most."
"But I'm dirty."
"No, you are not. You don't know how beautiful your heart is," said Mary with a smile. "Don't worry. I
won't tell anyone what you told me today. In my heart, you are still the same as before. You are still
Victor who I know. You are playful, serious and considerate occasionally."
With a playful smile, Mary tried to break the dull atmosphere in the room.
Victor responded with a smile, "That's good. Do you feel much better after listening to my story. You've
just been cheated by him once. You'd better be smart next time. "
"Yeah... Mary nodded, "I will be smart in the future. "
Squinting her eyes, Mary smiled. She had planned to tell Victor about her 'contractual marriage', but on
second thought, it was the matter between her and William. If William knew that she had told others
about it, she would be fined to pay the liquidated damages. It would be a big crime to cause the conflict
between Victor and him.
It was getting dark. The two of them chatted in the club, dispelling all the depression in their hearts.
'That's it. Mary, give up completely.'
"How about inviting you to dinner?" Victor said, "Last time we had a sidewalk snack booth. But I'm not
enough with it. "
"Okay." Mary nodded. She needed to find an excuse to drown her sorrows in wine.
