His Contractual Mistress

Chapter 70 - Her Project For The Shen Group

Before Vince headed to his meeting, he showed Hailey his entire office.

"If you need to use the washroom, you can enter this door. The toilet is on the corner, right side."

Walking down the tiny aisle, an exclusion room before the washroom stands as a lounge where Vince used it as a sleeping room if he stayed overnight in the office.

The room also has a closet. And at the moment, Vince is taking off his t-shirt in front of Hailey.

Poor girl, surprised by his behavior, Hailey turned around not to peek at his shirtless body. 'He should remember that I was around!' she mumbled inwardly.

After putting on his business suit, he opens a drawer, takes out a blanket, and hands it to Hailey.

"Here, take this. You might feel cold later." Upon saying it, Vince studied Hailey's dress. Her back is open, and the fabric was thin. He has brought no jacket to give it to Hailey, and his closet only had a few of his business suits.

And the reason he wants to embrace her often is to keep her warm.

"Thank you."

"Your welcome. If you need anything or a problem occurs, ring me immediately."

She nodded and smiled. "Okay. Don't worry about me."

"There is another fridge outside, left corner when you go out the door if you need more drinks and food store in the cupboards."

"Okay! It's on my right if I am going to enter your office." She wanted to make sure not to get lost in Vince's office.

Vince indeed wanted some space and a quiet place when working on his projects, so this floor had no other offices but his Meeting Hall, at the left of the corridor when you stepped out from the elevator. She has to remember that.

"I'm going now," Vince placed a quick kiss on Hailey's lips before he got out of his office.

Now that she is alone, Hailey dropped her bottom on the sofa. 'Wow. I'm still in a trance.' Indeed, she could still not believe that kissing has become a natural gesture between her and Vince. Alright! She has a few things to do while Vince is in his meeting.

Her eyes swept to the entire office once again. And again, it impresses her how Vince chooses the color of his office.

Unlike the typical men she knew, who decorated their office with dark tones. However, in Vince's case, he chooses luminous ones, and this gives a pleasant atmosphere. It looks neat and clean. A good taste, she thought.

Hailey takes out her phone from her bag and strides toward the floor-ceiling window while searching for a particular person in her contact.

"Hey, Princess!" Finally, the person in the other line answered after five rings. "I couldn't reach you last night. I got worried!"

"I'm fine, Geoffrey. I had a few things I had to work on these days."

"I'm glad you are alright. You know we are always worrying about you. So please, come home soon, okay?"

"I'll be home soon, yes."

"Glad to hear that, Hail. I missed you already. I want us to hang out together. How about a dinner out? It's been a long time since we have done that."

After the proposal, Hailey only went out with Bryan, and she always turned down his invitation. They used to go out altogether, but it's rare for him to have Hailey alone.

"Yeah! It's a great plan! Let's do that!" Hailey bites her lower lip. It was just a lie. But she didn't want to explain things to Geoffrey. At least for now.

"I'm glad to hear that!" Geoffrey expressed happily.

And she could sense the joy in his voice. Hailey rested her head on the window as a bit of guilt struck her chest. She shook her head to set aside this feeling.

"Okay, so… The thing is, I called you to let you know about the project I want to give for the Shen Group."

"Great! I'm all ears, Hail."

"Ahem!" Hailey clears her throat before she begins. "Geoffrey. I want to give the entire development in the East Sector to the Shen Group."

"Hold up! East Sector like the entire East of Dream City? The Grand Mall and the Dream City University, including the football field, several gymnasiums of its sports clubs? And we are also talking about residential skyscrapers here, Hail?" Geoffrey queried.

"That's right! The entire East of Dream City," she confirmed. And indeed, it was what she decided.

Then Geoffrey ponders, "So, how much do you plan to grant them?"

"I will hand Shen Group with a hundred billion US dollars."

It shocked Geoffrey. "What? That huge amount? Are you certain about this, Hail?"

He could not recover from a shock yet. But it's Hailey. He knew she wouldn't joke around regarding constructing her city.

Hailey answered, "Of course, I am! I was never sure in my entire life, but this one, Geoffrey. I want to work with the Shen Group above anyone else."

"Are you telling me that this one is clearer than your idea of marrying Bryan?"

"Geoffrey..." Hailey heaves a long sigh.

Geoffrey once confronted her about why she accepts Bryan's proposal when he is not even her boyfriend.

Besides, everyone knew about his girlfriend Eva since before. But the boys only met her a few times. That is why everyone thinks they should not hurry the wedding.

And they are right!

She and Bryan should slow down. It doesn't mean that she knew him all her life; is he the perfect husband for her.

"Hail, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to mention it. As your Financial Advisor, I want to make sure that we are investing in the right people."

"Yes, we are! I understand your concerns. That's why I am happy you are here for me."

"I will always be there for you, through thick and thin. I want you to remember that always."

Hailey giggled, and it didn't hide from Geoffrey. It made him happy to hear Hailey laugh.

"Okay. Thank you. You are always a great brother to me."

Ouch. All of a sudden, once again, Geoffrey's heart was crushed. Shrugs the sadness crept into his chest, he makes sure to speak with enthusiasm.

"So, a hundred billion US dollars for the Shen Group? You are offering them a long-term contract, Hail. Do you want it in the way of a Contractual project or a one-time contract m?"

"A one-time, long-term contract, Geoffrey."

"Then it settled. I will draft the deal, so then, you can verify it soon."

"Yes. Soon..." Nothing she wants now is Vince to sign her deal.

"One more thing, Hail. Why is this much?"

"I want the tallest skyscraper in the world standing in my city."

Geoffrey was surprised once again. "Wait, what?"

"You hear me correct, Geoffrey. A twenty billion dollars skyscraper."

"Wow. And it will be the tallest building in the world, huh? Alright! And you are confident that the Shen Group is the best firm to build this? Why not the Anderson Group or KS Group? They are in the top 5 of the best firm in the world."

"I already know you will ask regarding this. But trust me, Geoffrey. You won't disappoint working with them."

"Of course, I trust you. Then, I assumed that you already investigated this company?"

"Yes, I did!" In fact, I'm living with their CEO! I'm not only running an investigation about them. I was also getting close to the architect I am looking for, Geoffrey.

And there's no way she could tell Geoffrey about this! She will just think of it; she already perceived what will happen then. The boys, especially her dad, would surely scrape Vince's skin. But before that, they would beat him until he turns into a pulp.

"All right! That's for now, Geoffrey. We will discuss furthermore when I'm back."

"Okay, Princess. See you soon..."

"Yup! See you soon, Geoffrey." Hailey presses the end call button.

'I'm sorry, guys. I have been lying to all of you. But things will take place soon. And I hope you'll understand me.'

"But for now, I have another thing to take care of as well," Hailey mumbled in a low voice.

Hailey rang another phone; another man answered the call.

"Yes, Princess!"

"Sandy, I have a usual job for you," Hailey informed the guy from the other line.

"Cool! So which website I must wipeout in the world of the Internet?"

"I will email it to you."

"Alright! Let me see!"

"Thanks, Sandy. I'll wire the money in a minute."

"No, problem, Princess! I'm just a call away."

"Good! Bye."

Hailey ends the call; she immediately emailed Sandy the website's links she wanted to shut up forever.

'Now that Vince will start to work for me. I don't want anyone to bother him. He needs to focus on our projects.'

When it comes to her project, she will be infuriated if it will delay further. Gossips and slandering news about Vince? She would love to put their end.

After half an hour, Hailey received a message from Sandy.

"It's all done, Princess. I hacked their server and downloaded all the stuff that could be evidence against them. Ring me if you need this information."

"Good job, Sandy. You keep it. If I need them one day, I will let you know." By now, she has no time for the garbage so-called Social Media.
