My Husband is a Mafia Boss✔️

11 - There won't be a New Contract!

* * *

Veronica Chime had been an actress since she was 18 but she had never secured main roles in movies.

When she met Mo Hanlu, she was already 24 and still struggling with her career because unlike others, she was against using her body to climb at the top. Mo Hanlu is known to have many short term lovers; he had broken many hearts and when he approached Veronica, she declined.

She was full of pride and refused to give up her dreams until one day, she couldn't secure a role even as a small side character. Her career was about to finish, she was terrified and it drives her to throw herself to the Alpha.

Mo Hanlu had clearly told her what he wanted, what he likes about her and where it ends. At first, she was disgusted by herself but Mo Hanlu was never rough with her, he was sweet and really cared for her despite her personality. 

Slowly she climbed up into the ladder of fame and Veronica forgot her place. She was the only partner that lasted more than five years with Mo Hanlu and she thought the Alpha was in love with her but just didn't know how to say it.

Even though she didn't fully love Mo Hanlu, Veronica was okay with it. She was okay as long as she could remain at the top. But now, she had yet again struggled to maintain her place in the acting industry.

"Here, drink this. It would help you calm down." her manager offered after inviting herself to the pantry and made coffee for both of them.

Looking at coffee, Veronica abruptly covered her nose and mouth feeling sick.

"Vicky, are you okay? If you're not okay we can always reschedule the contract signing." Noticing Veronica's sudden action, Remi Long puts down the coffee and approaches Veronica.

"I-I'm okay, I'm just a little sick." Veronica excused.

"Okay, I'll try and convince the receptionist to call Mo Hanlu to meet you and we can leave immediately." 

"Hmmm, okay." Veronica hummed then leaned her back to the couch. Her manager then left to talk to the receptionist and a couple of minutes later she came back with a smile.

"Great news, We can go now and meet him. Let's go!"

"Baby, I'm really sorry! Mo Laotian couldn't give this job to anyone aside from me, but I will be back as soon as I'm done. Okay?" Hanlu cooed, finally he was able to call Ian. He was in the car at the moment and on the way to the airport.

When Mo Laotian said he was going to leave in the afternoon he didn't expect to leave when it wasn't even afternoon. It turns out he needed to associate with the engineers as they will the ones to guide him to the land site and all that needed to do in South Africa.

"Yeah, Okay. Be careful and call Lan after this and tell him properly what you needed to do." Ian suggested. Although Hanlu was now his lover, he understood that Hanlu was a busy person.

This matter was never new to him.

"Baby, why do you sound like you don't care? I'm leaving for a week you know." Hanlu pouted.

"Luu, don't be such a baby. We're grown-ups and I understand that you're busy. If you want someone to stop you from leaving then call your son." Ian said again, half of his mind was focused on the files in front of him. He's back to work now and all his case was passed back to him after being unable to close it.

"Oh, and will you please move Grey back here? You're ruining the young man's life. Don't you think the outskirts were too far? Really Luu, stop sending people away." Ian added as he complained. Just like what he expected, Grey was suddenly transferred to the outskirts of the city.
