Chapter 113 - She's Back!

It was evening; Vincent is seated on a couch reviewing the contract from Davies Group while Tim is making a simple dinner for them, which the guy checked his phone frequently to reply to a message.

"Timothy Cheng! I could hear every time your phone vibrates on the table." Vincent's scold.

Tim turned his head, and he awkwardly smiled at his boss. But he reasons out, "Boss, I am following Miss Hailey's instructions to make your favorite beef teriyaki."

Vince raised his head and watched Tim's back. He put down the folder on the table and stood from the couch.

Tim looked at his boss with worry. Beads of sweat form on his forehead, not from cooking but from fearing that his boss would get mad at him. 'What's wrong with him now!?'

Tim remained silent, watching his boss picks up his phone and casually browsing his WhatsApp and reads the messages he exchanges with Hailey. Afterward, his boss frowned.

Vince glared at Tim, then withdrew his gaze to read the messages once again. And he admitted. He is jealous that Hailey is busily texting Tim more than him.

Anyway, he was exchanging messages with Hailey a while ago. But when he told her that he was reviewing the contract, Hailey said they would talk again later. He knew that she is only considerate of him. But still, he's jealous.

Vince puts back Tim's phone on the table and says no words. He went back to the couch, resumed reading the contract.

Tim sighed with relief. His boss is acting weirder since he falls in love. But why is he behaving like he was jealous of him?

'His girlfriends only worried about him!' thought Tim and continue cooking.

Meanwhile, Vince was already bothered because of his jealousy. He could not concentrate anymore, and so, he stopped reading.

He sat up from the couch, then strides toward the veranda to opened the sliding door and breath some fresh air.

From there, Vince scans the night skyline. It was clear, and he could see more stars above. He was living in the city his whole life, and so he could only see a night sky full of stars when going to the provinces, or he visited his cousins on the island. And it's one thing why he loves to sail out to the sea.

But tonight, he misses Hailey badly. He wishes to watch these stars with her as he knew that Hailey had a great view of the night sky from the island.

Vince dialed Hailey's mobile number. He waited for the call to connect and a sound of waves he heard in the background.

"Hey! Have you eaten already?" Asked Hailey as she wondered why Vince was calling her when she knew Tim is currently making dinner while he is reading the contract. "What's the matter?"

"Nothing. I just missed you so bad." He groaned and heaved a sigh of frustration. "I want to see you soon."

Hailey presses her eyelids, pushing back the tears that are forming on the corner of her eyes. She misses Vince too, even if it's just a day had passed.

"We'll see each other after your visit there. I'll be waiting." She said sincerely. Although she is tempted to tell Vince the truth, she had a few things to settle first, including his divorce.

How could she introduce him to her dad when he is married to someone? Besides, that someone is Bryan's girlfriend.

Right now, she wanted everyone to focus on the development of the city rather than be distracted by private and personal issues.

"Okay. I will go back to P Country as soon as I determine all the projects I have to work on," said Vince on the other line. Soon, his frustrating voice was replaced with joy. "This afternoon, Mr. Wilson initially explained to me about my projects. And it shocked me! They give me the East part of the city to develop. It means my work here will take years!"

"Great! Congratulations! I know you'll do great!" Even though she's the one who gives Vince this work, she's genuinely happy for him.

"Thank you. I wished you were here during my presentation," said Vince lovingly. His voice is like a mellow song in Hailey's ear.

However, guilt struck in her heart. 'I will be there!' But she could not say this to Vince.

"Then think of me that I was there." It is the only comfort she could do at this moment. "Know that I believe in you and am so proud of you."

And that's enough for him at this time. He knew that Hailey was cheering for him. Besides, he wanted to give Hailey a good life. And the future he is dreaming of was by her side.

"I love you, Hailey Hillson."

"I love you too, Vincent Shen,"Hailey responded wholeheartedly.

A few more sweet words they've exchanged, then Hailey urges Vince to eat some dinner now.

And the moment Vince hung up the call, Keith approached her.

"Princess, they are here."

Hailey turned around and followed Keith to his villa, where Daisy merrily met the couple that had just arrived.

*

Vince is now preparing to bed. He sent Hailey a message to let her know. Hailey then replied and shared that her friends had arrived at the island, and they had a wonderful dinner.

Hailey shared a photo, and Vince drooled at the lobsters. Ah, he misses Hailey's cooking!

His dinner earlier is not bad. But still, it could not compare to all the dishes that Hailey prepared for him. Now thinking about it, his desire to go home sooner is growing inside his heart.

Vince has just arrived in Australia, but he already wanted to go back to P Country to hold Hailey.

"Just promised you would take care of yourself, okay?" Hailey reminded him.

Vince replied and told Hailey the same. He is also worried about her.

After exchanging messages for another hour, Vince has to sleep while Hailey's timezone is slightly different.

Hailey places the phone and looks outside the window. She watches the planes landing and taking off.

Hailey raised the wine glass and watched the red liquid.

"Princess, everything is cleared. We are scheduled to take off half an hour from now." Captain Tom Morris, one of Hailey's knights, reported regarding their status.

"Great!" She smiled at Tom, who left to go back to the cockpit after their brief talk.

She was now in her private jet, on standby in one of the runways in C City International Airport, just next to the domestic airport she landed in earlier.

Hailey leaned on her seat and closed her eyes. Her heart is aching for Vince. However, it's not the perfect time for everyone to know, especially that Andre was there.

Besides, Vince hasn't signed the contract. He isn't yet bound to work for her. But soon...

When it is about time, Captain Morris made a gentle announcement that they were preparing for take-off.

Hailey keenly watched the glimmering lights from a distance. The plane takes off successfully, and they are now in the sky.

The city lights dazzling before her eyes. She loves night flight to watch the earth when the rest are sleeping.

Since they were crossing the ocean for several hours, Hailey went to the compartment of her private jet and changed her clothes into a nightgown, and took a nap.

Two hours before they will land in Australia, light knocks woke her up.

"Princess, it's about time..." Said a voice behind the door.

"Alright. I'll take a shower first," she replied.

It only takes less than a half-hour; she finished her shower and got out of the room wearing a pink bathrobe.

She sat down on a couch and picks up the teacup, and sips the coffee. Outside, the sun is gradually rising. Hailey snapped a photo of it before she gestures to her stylist team that is only waiting for her command.

One is blow-drying her hair, while two are giving her a pedicure and manicure.

"Princess, white or black?" Asked by her costume designer. He was holding a white dress in his right hand and a black skirt on his left.

Hailey carefully scanned the dresses and picked out the color after brief thought. She wore it and sat back on the couch. This time her stylist carefully tied her hair, and her dress designer showed her all the kinds of color of wigs.

"I'll go with silver purple this time," she said.

"Contact Lens?"

"Blue…" She picked out.

Now she is ready, and her plane is about to land. Hailey carefully stared at her reflection in the mirror across her.

The woman she sees is not Hailey Hillson nor Hailey Davies. It's just simply a businesswoman who wasn't revealing her true identity to her business partners and contractors.

This is the typical her during her work mood.

Hailey sat up from the couch, and in an instant, her stylist put the coat around her shoulder.

The stairs have been down. She walks toward the door, and her eyes twinkled from delight.

Ah, her black Bugatti la Voiture Noire!

Hailey rushes to the car and walks around it. Ah, she missed this guy!

Hailey pulled up the door and slid inside. Her eyes wandered, and she sighed with joy.

She revived the engine and let it make a low noise for a minute.

Meanwhile, on the rooftop of the Davies Building, where it has a garden, the executives, including Jacob, are already waiting for his daughter.

"She's good to go," said James while his eyes remain on his iPad to monitor Hailey's speed.

"The roadways are also cleared. Any minute, Hailey is good to go," Trevor added.

Listening quietly on a single couch, Jacob poured himself another mug of brewed coffee. His facial expression is distorted. He is sulking because, instead of seeing him when her plane landed, his daughter rather than race her fastest car!

This is one thing why he wanted his daughter to get married at an early age.

'Can someone scold this girl?' Jacob frowned, constantly mumbling to himself. 'And these men are such brat as well!'

They spoiled his daughter more than him! Although he is partly to blame, he could not say no when his daughter is coaxing him to say yes!

"Uncle Jacob, you want to watch?" asked Josh, waving a binocular on his left hand.

Jacob curled his lips and glare. He wanted to beat up these men for being a teaser! They never respect this old man!

Their loyalty is always for his daughter. He should be happy. However, they would only spoil her more! And he feels like he's going to die too soon, and he's afraid no one can domain his daughter.

"It's about time!" Leo exclaimed excitedly which Jacob rolled his eyes in anticipation.
