His Contractual Mistress

Chapter 110 - Want To Kiss You

Hailey shrugs off the unnecessary thoughts. She should not panic but remain calm and think of better plans in the coming future.

She could not hide from Vince forever. And she could not keep her true identity permanently. Besides, Vince needs that divorce. It's not for her gain, but Eva is not worthy either for Bryan.

She is not the right woman for him. If she genuinely loves Bryan, she should have gotten a divorce from Vince. But why didn't she sign it? Instead, she is hiding from him.

Eva not only lied to Bryan. She is also using Vince for family Lan's interests.

Hailey held herself, not frowned in front of Vince. She tilted her head to the side and fixed her attention toward him.

They were exchanging sweet words before Vince ended the call.

"I think everyone is going back to work. I have to prepare my presentation for tomorrow."

"Good luck! Don't be so nervous. You are very talented, and I am proud of you."

Vince's eyes sparks, listening to Hailey's cheer. This is what he only needed to disappear all of his worries.

Of course, he is confident of getting approval. Although he believes in his skills, he still needs someone to be his inspiration. Someone would cheer him and become the source of his strength.

And Hailey could light his dark moments. Her beautiful smile could lift his spirit.

"I want to kiss you," said Vince wholeheartedly. His eyes filled with love and sincerity.

On the phone screen, Hailey softens her gaze. She also wishes to give Vince a good luck kiss.

"I love you." She could not kiss Vince, but she could say these words.

And for what Hailey had said, Vince's eyes gleamed with delight.

In the past, he could only suit himself looking at the girl in his Gallery. He would look at her pictures to gain some strength.

And now, he has the real one, who is not only staring and smiling back at him; moreover, she talks and replies with her sweet voice.

"I love you too," Vince answered lovingly. He wanted to prolong their conversation, but he has few things to do. "I have to hang up now. Enjoy your stay on the island. I'll call you back tonight before bed."

"Hum!" Hailey hummed and nodded. She sighed with relief when it's over. She wanted to keep talking with Vince, but she's afraid that any of the boys will notice who Vince is talking to. She isn't ready to make any explanation yet! And so, she needs to be extra careful from here on.

Vincent put his phone back in his pocket. He sat up and strode toward Tim and James, talking with something.

Everyone had already gone. Now only them left in the cafeteria.

Tim quickly met him halfway and said, "Boss, Mr. White will escort us to our apartment.

"Okay."

Following James' car, Tim drove the Lambo that provided to them while Vincent was seated in silence on the passenger seat.

Later, Tim asked with curiosity lingering in his heart. "Boss, what is your plan now?"

"What plan?" He glared at his assistant. He senses his point, but he wanted Tim to spill it out.

"You'd like to bring Miss Hailey, right?"

Vince didn't reply but contemplated. After a long silence, he spoke. "Do you know how far the nearest city is from here?"

"I don't know, boss. But I can do some research." I already know you would come up with this idea, boss! Of course. I need a raise! So I came prepared! Tim mused inwardly.

"Okay. And whichever the nearest city you found, look for a nice condo. Make an appointment and apply for a one-year lease contract."

"Copy, boss!" Tim is aware that his boss wanted to bring Hailey no matter what. Although he thinks that it will become a controversy later, his boss didn't care anyway. He is proud to show off his girlfriend.

It takes only ten minutes for a sports car to arrive at the complex apartment provided for all the workers in Dream City.

James leads them to Apartment 7 and parked at the space around the building.

"This whole building will be SHEN GROUP's exclusive apartment. It can accommodate more than a hundred workers," said James.

Vincent nodded. It made him happy that they need not share apartments with other contractors, and so he starts admiring how the Davies Group runs everything around here.

"It's a great setting. I like it. Your management surely made an effort for things to be in places." Praises by Vincent.

James smiled. "It was what our Princess wanted… I mean, the boss. It was all her ideas."

"Hmm. That's brilliant." Vince further compliments.

"She is! But she told us that her dream city would not be established without a brilliant team. And you are now part of our team." James told Vincent.

"It's my honor." Vincent's desire to meet this female boss is even greater.

Furthermore, James toured them to all the floors of the building. Every floor had a spacious kitchen to make their meals, except the top floor with its own kitchen in each unit.

Tim whistled to see the furnished kitchen with complete cooking appliances.

After James showed them enough, he brought Vincent and Tim to the top floor.

"The top floor was purposely designed with big rooms. Initially, we built this apartment for the city crews in the future. Managers, assistants, chefs, teachers? Hotel and restaurant servers? We will provide this building for them while working in this city."

Vincent and Tim nodded in satisfaction. Davies Group indeed has the luxury to provide everything. They spent several trillion dollars, of course.

Vincent checks out the unit that gave to him. It was decent and spacious. Not to mention it was fully furnished.

"I hope you like the room?" James asked him.

"I do! It's perfect. I could work peacefully here." He walked toward a room and said, "I can use this room as my study."

I need tables where I could build the models of my projects, thought Vince.

"Sounds great! Anyway, there is a spacious room downstairs. You are free to make that as an office for your company."

"Thank you, James!" Vincent was delighted. This building will be their home and also an office. He thinks that would be perfect.

"You're welcome. Anyway, we're looking forward to your presentation," said James. He then turned around, and his eyes searched for Tim, who went to the bedroom to check his boss's luggage. "Well, Tim! I will show your unit."

Tim exited the bedroom and rushed to the door, following James. "Thank you, Mr. White."

Now that he was alone, Vince took the opportunity to get a quick shower. He opens the suitcase where Hailey places the shampoo, liquid soap, and his aftershave.

Vince's lips curled into a smile. Hailey has acted like a real wife. She does know everything he needs and even finely places them into Ziplock transparent cellophane and then wraps them with a cloth.

Vince only takes a ten minutes shower. He now changed his suit to a new one.

He heard a knock on his bedroom door, followed Tim's voice.

"What is it?" he asked after he opened the door.

"Boss, James relayed a message from Director Wilson. He wanted to talk to you regarding your whole project here in Dream City."

"Is it now?"

Tim replied, "It will take place by four in the afternoon, today."

"I see." Vince glances at his wristwatch. "That will be two hours from now."

"Yes, boss. And since we have more time. I'll go and have grocery shopping at the supermarket nearby."

Vince nodded. Immediately, Tim left with the car keys. He drove the black Lambo headed to the Dream City Supermarket.

It was one thing that is ironic. Davies Group makes sure to provide what is essential to its workers. To not make things more complicated since this place is isolated.

They have an exclusive supermarket that opens at 2 P.M. until 7:30 in the evening.

This allows the stay-in workers to shop for what they need, especially fresh fruits, vegetables, fish, and meat.

Tim is pushing a big cart and begins shopping. He was in the Beverages section when someone called his name.

"Timothy Cheng?"
