His Contractual Mistress Chapter 403 – Davies Corporation (Two)

“If you want to change anything in this penthouse, go ahead. This interior design has been outdated. We are walking the futuristic path, and so, I entrusted everything to you youngsters the new age of Davies Corporation.” 

At the moment, Vincent and Jacob were looking outside the floor-ceiling window from the second floor of the penthouse, where they have the entire scenery of the city. 

Vincent glanced at his father-in-law and said, “Dad, I think I don’t need to change a lot in this penthouse. I’m sure Hailee had memories in this place. Possibly, I will do a little renovation that suits Hailee’s taste and install the latest technology.” 

Jacob had a huge smile on his face upon hearing Vincent saying that. Instilling a sense of priority on his daughter, whose dad would not feel satisfied to have a son-in-law like Vincent? It was what Jacob had in mind. 

“I’m glad you have cared for my daughter a lot. Don’t stop making her happy.” 

“She is also the source of my happiness, dad… Your daughter made me complete.” 

Jacob stretched his arm and patted Vincent’s back, delighted with everything that Vincent had said. He knew that it was not just promises or sweet flowery words as he is witnessed how Vincent thoughtful and attentive to his wife. 

After Jacob showed the penthouse to Vincent, they went back to his office just below. 

Soon, at lunchtime. All the employees, including the bosses and other higher-ups, gathered in the auditorium for their new boss welcome gathering.

Jacob introduced Vincent to everyone, and they all warmly welcomed them. After a brief talk, lunch was served.

A black Mercedes Benz Sprinter JetVan was pressed against the traffic on a busy highway. 

“Are you alright, princess?” Pitt asked Hailee worriedly. He has been noticing her constant massage on her forehead. 

“I’m fine. It’s just a slight headache,” she replied and smiled at Pitt to assure him she was okay. 

“We’re almost in the company, princess,” James announced after he checked their location. 

Ten minutes later, they’d finally arrived at the company. James opens the door. He and Pitt make sure the surroundings are safe. Even though Hailee had dozens of other knights accompanying her, they stayed vigilant as the closest to hers, ensuring her safety.

Hailee gets out of the vehicle; she remains standing near the van for a moment. 

“What’s wrong, princess? Have you forgotten something?” Pitt asked her with concern in his voice. 

Hailee has been frowning almost the entire trip. They were worried that she was uncomfortable now she was five months pregnant, which her baby bump looked like nearly seven months. 

“I hate the interior color of this van. I want something metallic, a brown maybe or a white combination,” said Hailee before she walked toward the entrance. 

Pitt and James shared a look. It seems like it was why the princess was in a bad mood. The van triggered her mood swings. 

“Allan purchased a new van for the princess that suits her liking,” Pitt ordered. 

Allan, one of the twelve knights that followed the princess closely, nodded at Pitt, then quickly made a phone call to certain people. 

“Good afternoon, Miss Da… I mean, Mrs. Shen.” greeted by the security guards at the entrance. 

“Hello…” Hailee was timid in replying to them as she just walked straight to the door.

They were slightly stunned as it differed from the usual treatment she showed them every time she came and visited the main office. 

“The princess has mood swings.” One knight told the guards, which they understood right away. 

“We understand.” 

“Time has really gone by so fast.” Robert, the chief and oldest security guard muttered to himself. He was working with the Davies for many decades now, and seeing the princess pregnant gives an inexplicable feeling. 

He told the other guards, “I’m glad that I have the chance to meet the third generation soon.” 

Robert is talking about the babies in Hailee’s womb. He began working here when Jacob was the new CEO of the Davies Corporation, and then he got married and had a daughter. Now the princess is a mother herself. 

“I think I should retire soon and let a new generation take over my job,” he announced to the others who were younger than him. 

Hailee walks straight toward the hallway inside the building, leading them to the auditorium. 

In the company lobby, a kid was running around. James quickly catches the kid when it runs toward Hailee. 

“Hey, little man! Where is your mom?” 

“Tristan! Oh, I’m very sorry, sir James.” 

James looks at the woman when she seems familiar. The woman also noticed the wrinkles on his forehead. She showed her company ID and explained,

“I am a nursery teacher at the Daycare Center.” 

With the woman’s explanation, James gave the kid to the woman. Davies Corporation has an excellent DayCare system that is perfect even for the princess children. 

“It will be convenient for you and Vincent soon when the babies attend school, princess!” It will be just within the company, and he could still watch over them, thought James.

Hailee, whose mood swing had triggered, was now good. She looked at the hallway toward the DayCare center, then back at the kid. 

“It looks like it needs more security. It is dangerous if a kid gets lost.” 

“I’m sorry, ma’am Hailee. This kid is too naughty. He is brilliant and finds a way to get out.” 

“Aha! Do you like to be a knight?” said James. “A knight must be smart a*s to protect a princess!” 

“Knight!” The kid tried to mimic James. He is raising both of his hands in the air, then clapping. “Knight!” 

The woman apologized one more time before she went back to her tracks. 

“Bye, bye!” The kid waves at Hailee, which she also waves back. 

“James, go to the Daycare Center after the welcome gathering and check their security system to see why a kid can easily get out when they need an ID to get in and get out.” 

“Hmm… I think the kid is holding an ID when I pick him up,” said James. 

Hailee was dumbfounded. The kid must have high intelligence to understand the adult’s actions to observe them. It looks like I would agree with James that an intelligent person like that is suitable to be a knight. 

“James, we should keep an eye on all smart kids whose parents are my employees for potential next generation to work with me in the future.” 

“No problem, princess! Leave it to me!” 

Hailee felt a lot better now. Thinking of the bright future for Davies Corporation, Hailee unconsciously strokes her belly and mumbled to her head, 

“Everything is for you, my little ones….” 

A future where the children carry the Legacy of both their mom and dad… Hailee felt warmth surge in her chest upon thinking that… She could not wait to see the future. 

“Soon…”
