Chapter 9:His Sister-In-Law
\'Sigh. Look at this CEO. He tricked me, so I would appear at his company. On the record, it\'s the first time I came here.\'
\'Why didn\'t he use his tricky behavior to search for his wife and get the divorce he has been trying to get?\'
Well, yes, that\'s him! Suddenly, he will call her out when he feels like doing an act in front of his friends, family, and now his employees. But Vince once said he hates chasing a woman. The reason he relies on his lawyers but still no progress.
Shaking her head, Hailey heaved another silent sigh and mumbled. \'Forgot his flash drive and left it at home? Why the heck didn\'t he bring his laptop where he saved his precious confidential data and his important presentation?\'
\'It seemed he wanted me to appear in the company to be seen by his employees, which I wasn\'t prepared for. At least I want to wear a short, sexy dress to have a grand entrance. I didn\'t wear any makeup either. I\'m upset!\' She pouted in secret.
Hailey keeps mumbling in silence. Heaving a sigh of disbelief, she gathered her thoughts in one place and focused on her act. She keeps her sweet smile plastered on her face upon meeting Vince in the middle of the lobby.
Today, his company has several guests waiting for their appointment time to see certain personnel for business-related visits.
And as of the moment, in front of them is the CEO, who barely giving them a chance to meet in person to talk about a business proposal or business consultation. But today, he came down and met a girl, whose assistant could do that.
Could it be this girl is the rumored mistress? What a lucky Monday for them to meet her today!
Meanwhile, ignoring the curious people lounging in his company lobby, Vince warmly meets Hailey in the middle.
"Hi! Thanks for bringing it over!" said Vince. His voice is loud enough to hear in the entire lobby.
What\'s more interesting in this scene, Vince shamelessly showed his affection to his mistress. He leans over to plant a kiss on her cheek. For the female employee who witnessed this, their heart sank and fretted that someone already won over their dream man. They once attempt to seduce the CEO and trying to catch his attention, but he doesn\'t care about women but work. But what is happening now? He doesn\'t mind having PDA!
Hailey didn\'t anticipate that this act would cause a heart attack threat. Suddenly, Vince kisses her on the cheek! That required 70 percent of her superpower not to slap him because her heart not only skipped one beat but countless beats!
Ugh. Why is he not sharing any of his plans? If she wasn\'t good at acting, her reaction would be awkward and poor.
Came back to her senses, Hailey stretched her hand and handed the flash drive to Vince. Now that she delivered her task, she wanted to leave the place sooner.
"Here\'s your flash drive."
Vince takes it. He thanked her one more time. "It\'s quite a relief. I\'m sorry for troubling you like this when you have a class soon."
\'I\'m glad you know! Can\'t you find another perfect time for your drama CEO Shen? Ugh.\' Hailey mumbling in her head.
Gracefully shaking her head, she responded to Vince, "Don\'t sweat it. It\'s the least I could do. Anyway, I have one hour before my class starts. I can catch up as long as I won\'t get trapped in the traffic for an hour."
"Yeah, that was bad. The university is in the opposite direction from the penthouse toward my company."
"Yeah. So I better leave now," Hailey whispered.
Before Vince could say something, a woman\'s thundering voice echoing in the entire lobby.
"You!" The woman who just arrived couldn\'t believe what she is witnessing right now. After she looked at Hailey with sharp glares, she turned to Vince and accused him, "How dare you to display your affair and it\'s should be in your company?! You really can\'t wait for my sister to divorce you?"
Darken his facial expression, Vince remains calm to respond to the woman. "And where is your sister? She was supposed to sign the divorce papers a year ago. During that time, I haven\'t met Hailey yet. So don\'t drag her into this, Zenaida."
Pressing her lips from anger, Zenaida throws another glare at Hailey, who didn\'t back down to wrestle gaze at her. It was what Zenaida hated about Vince\'s mistress. The woman is arrogant! Too proud because she had Vince\'s backing up, and he showered her with everything.
Breathing in, Zenaida replied to Vince. "I\'m trying to ask her friends if they know her whereabouts. But it doesn\'t mean she will divorce you! For what? So you can marry this woman? My sister will never allow you!" Zenaida cast a stern look at Hailey, scanning her from the head down to her brown Vegan high heels shoe.
But of course, Hailey only contoured a smirk in the corner of her mouth that pissed Zenaida.
In Hailey\'s head, she was clapping in amusement. \'Bravo. A round of applause, please!\'
Here\'s Zenaida Lan, Vince\'s sister-in-law. She is one of the first people who immediately discover that Vince has a mistress. But the more she and Hailey cross paths, the more Hailey could see the jealousy in Zenaida\'s eyes. She is a woman, so she knew.
\'Like I didn\'t notice that you also like Vince, even though he is your sister\'s husband. Hah! Eva won\'t divorce Vince? You just speak on your behalf!\'
Hailey sheepishly smiles at Zenaida while having this thought. She knows the woman gets annoyed at her because she is never afraid of her insults.
\'You wish for your sister to divorce Vince, so then, you got your chance.\' Hailey wishes to say this to Zenaida. But not today. She won\'t embarrass Vince in front of his employees. It will be between women\'s wars without Vince\'s presence.
Looking at Vince\'s mistress, she is badly annoyed. She doesn\'t like the way Hailey stares at her mockingly. She is Vince\'s sister-in-law! But this mistress is something! In her mind, she was cursing Hailey for how thick her face was.
"Zenaida, if you plan to create a scene here, you better go home. Don\'t wait I will drag you out."
Zenaida came back to her senses once she heard Vince\'s icy voice. In a flash, her chest filled with rage. Why does she have to be the one for Vince to scold? They are family! How dare he embarrass her this way! He must have forgotten his wife is her sister!
She wants to raise her protest, but Vince shoots a warning glare at her face. Zenaida swallowed the lump in her throat, she swears. \'Just wait, bitch! I will show you your true color! People will know who you are! I\'m sure you are a social climber! I will show to the world that you are a gold digger!\'
Zenaida couldn\'t accept that Vince is intimate with another woman. She couldn\'t accept that Vince gave importance to someone, not his wife. He has changed a lot lately. She knows because ever since they were teenagers, Vince already had her eyes. But her stupid family arranged for her sister to marry Vince instead of her! She is older than Eva, but she is just the daughter of a mistress. Her position in the Lan family is always below Eva, and she hated it! She wished for her sister to disappear forever and never showed up again!
While Zenaida fell in thoughts, Vince escorted Hailey toward her car. Jealousy crept toward her heart, watching him so gentle to the other woman.
When does Vince spare a glance at her without stern or disdain? Why did the other woman so easily catch his attention? Does she also win Vince\'s heart?
She was so happy when her sister Eva didn\'t care to live with Vince after their wedding. But her stupid sister stayed in the US and abandon her husband. All these years that Vince and Eva are married, it was she who stayed by Vince\'s side. She did her best to please the Shen family to cover up Eva\'s stupidity. If not for Shen\'s financial backup, Lan Enterprise should be bankrupt and now live in the street.
But Vince never sees her effort to get close to him. She clearly understood that she was only able to stand beside him because Eva is married to him, and Hilda Shen recognizes Eva as her daughter-in-law. And as the sister, she received good treatment.
