His Contractual Mistress Chapter 257 – Her Husband (Five) [SPECIAL CHAPTERS]

“Pitt! Let’s go!” she announced, taking large steps in the hallway. 

“Are we leaving now? But the party….” 

“Rose will hand over the cheque. I already gave her instructions.” She cut whatever Pitt would say. She halted from taking another step. She turned around to hug her female bodyguard. “Thank you, Rose. You can return to Italy after here.” 

“You’re welcome, Miss Davies. It’s a pleasure to work for you.” Rose bowed after the hug.

“Take care!” said Hailee; she then resumed walking toward the staircase, following her knights to take a secret exit. 

That night, no one noticed her leave. Hailee and her knights go back to the yachts in silence while Rose approaches Senior Maurice to explain her early leave.

Lounging on the long couch, Pitt looked at Hailee with shock. “Are you out of your mind? Do you know how dangerous your plan is!?” 

“Pitterson Cha!” Hailee frowned. 

“Have you forgotten that Liam is just lurking around with his men? They were following us around and ready to attack and abduct you if he sees the chance?” 

“That’s why you will not accompany me! So Liam believes that I’m just somewhere in Europe! or Dubai!” she insisted. 

“You’re losing your mind! So am I with your plans!” 

“Like what I’ve told you, Keith will take care of everything once I’m in P Country.” she pleaded.

However, Pitt remains to stand on his words. She ran to her cabin and cried.

Left in the pool area, Pitt growled. The princess is acting like a spoiled brat again. He could not take it anymore; he stood from the couch and marched towards her cabin.

“Open it, Princess. Let’s talk.” he keeps knocking on the door.

“I’m sleeping!” 

Pitt rolled his eyes. She’s in a rebellious mood at this moment. His fingers rake through his hair and release a helpless sigh. 

“Okay, fine! I will allow you to go, but we need to discuss it thoroughly. Staying in the country without us is like burying you alive by me. Do you understand that, Princess?” 

Just within seconds, the door opened wide. 

“I promised I would behave well!” Hailee had a broad smile on her face and her eyes twinkling from excitement. 

He knew it! He already sees it through, but this girl made him helpless with no choice but to spoil her. 

Hailee let him entered her cabin and sat down on the sectional sofa. She listens to everything Pitt had said, laying his conditions on the table. 

“Share your daily activities and plans once you are in P Country.” Pitt began; Hailee nodded obediently through their talk. 

In the next few days, Hailee arrived in Dubai; from there, she took a flight bound for P Country. The moment her foot stepped on the land, she had the widest smile on her face. 

She never felt freedom like this, just now. With her knights around, she can’t fully decide for herself, but she has to wait for everyone to agree, or else her safety is at stake. 

How strange, but she feels like she found the light she had been looking for. She’s never been this happy when she roams around the streets of Paris, Italy, Budapest, London, or anywhere in the world! 

It seems magical…. That’s what she is feeling at the moment. 

‘At last, I’m here!’ she shrieked inwardly. ‘Now, let’s rock this city!’ 

She had two things she wanted to do why she visits P Country. 

First, she will offer a project for the Shen Group, and so, she has to know more about Vincent Shen. 

Second, she wanted to meet Eva’s husband. If he is gay, that is not a problem for her; instead, she would be comfortable making friends. 

Maybe they’d become best friends, and she’s excited to find him. And to do that, she has to get close to Vincent Shen to help her find Eva’s husband. 

Surely, they were in the same circle in High Society. They seemed both successful in business, making the same trade.

Hailee arrived at her hotel suite in Metro Palace Hotel. She told Keith to get her not so luxurious room. Still, he booked a DeLuxe suite, and her room was on the 25th floor of that hotel. 

“I should get you a Presidential Suite if you didn’t warn me.” Keith reasoned when she confronted him. 

“Okay, fine.” She dropped the issue. “See you and Daisy in two hours! I missed you guys!” 

“Okay, princess. See you at La Fleur.” 

“Bye!” 

After the quick call, she took a quick shower, dried her hair, then dressed up for dinner. After one hour, she’s ready and off! 

She was inside the elevator when Sandy emailed her the information she asked him the other day. It was the information about Eva Lan, including her husband’s. 

Hailee was so surprised to recognize the man in the photo attached to the files.

‘Holy shot!’ she squeals inwardly. 

Her eyes glued to her phone screen remained staring at the man in the photo, none other than Vincent Shen. According to the information, Sandy had gathered. He and Eva got married over two years ago in New York. 

‘Oh, my gosh! Is he truly gay?’ 

She can’t convince herself—it’s impossible to believe when the man in the photo was so attractive.

‘Wait, what? He’s attractive?’ What were you thinking, Hailee Davies!? She scolded herself. 

Hailee keeps staring at her phone screen when the elevator door opens. She lifted her gaze to check out who they were. 

Suddenly, her surroundings put everything to a halt. She could not withdraw her gaze from the man who was staring back at her. She didn’t understand, but she felt butterflies in her stomach and her heart beating loudly. 

The elevator door was slowly closing; the man held on to stop it from shutting. 

‘It was him!’ she freaked out to meet Vincent Shen at last. 

“Tim, take the stairs.” 

It was what she heard him instructing to the man standing behind him. She knew him, of course. According to the information she gathered, he is Timothy Cheng, the Assistant. 

“Boss? What do you mean I take the stairs?” 

Timothy Cheng talks to his boss, shows they did not just have a boss-assistant relationship but a closer one like good friends. 

Hailee snaps herself to blink and avert her eyes from Vincent Shen, who is now stepping inside the elevator, leaving his assistant behind. 

She isn’t sure whether to think that Vincent is only joking with his assistant because if it was true, that was a hell of a step from the 20th floor down to the ground floor. 

But that serves common sense. There are another three elevators in this hotel Timothy Cheng can ride. 

So that was a joke! 

Hailee concealed the smile on her lips. This elevator has mirrored walls, and now her neck stiffened as she avoided looking in the front where she could meet Vincent Shen’s eyes. She had to when she could feel that pair of burning deep brown eyes staring at her face. 

‘Eva Lan! You’re such a liar! You said your nominal husband is gay. Why did he smell so nice!’ 

And that’s not the only case. She felt like the threads on her white lower lingerie were loosened up. She’d like to check if her underwear is still around her waist! 

‘I hope so!’ 

Wearing a loose white dress tonight is never a good idea! 

***

Hailee was pulled back to the present when Eva’s screeching voice constantly yelled at Bryan. 

“So this is the reason! You want to marry her for money! Am I right, Bryan!?” 

“Stop making up more stories, Eva! I’m so fed up!” Bryan shouted back.
