Chapter 373 - A Meal With Her Employees (Two)
Vincent helped Hailee get out of the car. Delight filled her chest to see all the workers gathered in the apartment Complex Park.
The area has two basketball courts, two tennis courts, and even a half football field for those who like soccer.
The place was designed so that, during the weekend or after working hours, they have a place to hang out and play sports as a pastime.
And today, it filled everyone with the reason Hailee was happier.
"Welcome, President Davies! Mr. Shen!"
"Hi!" Hailee tried to return everyone\'s greetings, but so many of them. She raised both of her hands and waved at everyone who was a little farther.
Today, it is supposed to start the boys\' bachelor party. She didn\'t regret postponing the men\'s party today. They were impatient to start their two-day celebration. But then, she proposed this, and they were so disappointed. However, she didn\'t regret postponing the men\'s time with Vincent.
James mumbled earlier, accusing her she doesn\'t want Vincent to have a farewell party for his freedom, calling her a nagger wife. Although it was just a joke, he was beaten up by every one; even Vincent joined in.
"What the hell are you saying, James? All I ever wanted was to tie a knot with Hailee, and I don\'t care about a farewell party to such a thing as freedom."
Hailee echoed, "As I said before, I would not stop Vincent from going drinking with his friends. Vincent knew his punishment if he did it often, especially to cheat on."
With her statement, all the knights cast a murderous look at Vincent. Pitt, who first burst out laughing, followed by Rodney. Vincent glared at him, Rodney shut his mouth.
Shun and Theo chuckled while Zaijan and Tyler shook their heads. They knew Vincent very well, and he didn\'t like flirting.
Anyway, this is what Hailee has imagined. The games are just an excuse for these men to beat Vincent, and she already sees it throughout.
But Hailee also wanted the boys to have fun, so she first consulted Vincent about this plan. Vincent was more glad to celebrate with all the workers than fool around.
While Hailee mingled with the workers\' wives, Jacob and Frederick happily joined the big bosses from the other construction firms.
"Jacob! Thank you very much for the food! All the workers are delighted, and we are so grateful."
"Don\'t mention it. Actually, it was my daughter\'s idea, and she\'d like to spend time with everyone. There will be big changes in her life soon that will be a hindrance for her to oversee the construction herself."
"Your princess is expecting three babies! Congratulations! Instantly, you become a grandfather of three!"
Jacob laughed cheerily. "It surprised me as well! I am so excited to meet them soon!"
Happiness has been plastered permanently on his face since he learned his daughter expects more than one baby. Indeed, he was ecstatic that he was soon a grandfather of three, and so he looked forward to meeting his grandchildren soon!
"Please, join us, Mr. Davies!"
"Thank you."
"Mr. Shen, have a seat with us!" Chairman Lewis also invited Frederick.
What happens next, Chairman Lewis talking nonstop to Frederick. He shared during the time Vincent attended his classes.
"Your son is truly a smart kid. He always impressed me. That is why after he completed his master\'s degree, I invited him to join me with the new projects my firm had won. And he didn\'t disappoint me! Look at him now? He does well, and I am proud of him."
Frederick was thrilled, listening to everything Charman Lewis had shared. As well, Jacob was proud of his son-in-law. Every time Vincent was praised, it was his joy. But if someone doubted Vincent\'s ability and accused him instead of having an ulterior motive for why he married Hailee, he didn\'t hide his anger.
Lunch had begun, everyone was merrily sharing food.
Later on, Jacob and Frederick visited the others\' tables. They stroll the long line of tables. These two fathers mingle even with the lowest employee who works in Dream city.
Aside from the meat, Jacob ordered a truck of soda and beers to offer to everyone. Drinks are flooding the table, as well.
"There are a lot of drinks! Since we don\'t need to work in a few days, treat yourself very well!"
Everyone cheered and clapped their hands. Jacob\'s assistant, Kristian, handed him and Frederick a can of cold root beer.
"To my daughter, my princess," Jacob looks at the table where Hailee is seated with Vincent, Hilda, and grandpa Allen with his wife, Andrea. "And to my son-in-law, Vincent… I wished all the best for their marriage! May they walk this journey hand in hand and nourish their own family together!"
"Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
After that, everyone continues enjoying the food. A little while ago, before her dad made that speech, Hailee gaily walked toward the arranged table for her and Vincent.
Her eyes glowered and drooling, staring at the roast pigs in the middle of the table where fresh fruits and vegetables neatly decorated the surroundings.
"Boss, there are more dishes inside the hog\'s bellies," Tim reported to his boss.
Vincent instantly guessed what they were. When he had a vacation to the Ancestral Mansion, either at South Island or Northern Province of P Country, they always roast one to celebrate their arrival.
"You\'ll love it, Wifey! But you have not overeaten fatty meat now you are pregnant."
"Okay, hubby. But I really want to have that hog\'s skin. Can I please?" Hailee is showing her cute sides; she knows Vincent cannot refuse her plea.
Vincent glanced at Hailee\'s nutritionist, seeking help or advice. It is indeed not healthy, but she doesn\'t want to ruin Miss\' important days of her wedding celebration.
Hailee\'s nutritionist and dietician chef nodded their heads, but they also reminded her before anything else. "Princess, we have to carry out your strict diet after this."
"Thank you!" she mouthed gleefully. Hailee felt she was flying to cloud nine after her nutritionist permitted her.
Vincent then took the knife and sliced the roast pig, which Hailee dropped her jaw when crabs and prawns came out from the belly.
"Oh, my god!" It couldn\'t contain her excitement, and she was starving at the sight of her favorite dishes.
Vincent then put on disposable plastic gloves on his hands to peel the prawns and open the crabs.
"Hubby, be careful. It\'s still hot."
Vincent truly could feel the burn, but he knew Hailee had been complaining that she already wanted to taste what everyone was preparing.
"It\'s okay, Wifey. Here, what sauce would you like?"
"The usual sauce we have."
Vincent looked around the table. Finally, he saw a vinegar bottle, soy sauce, and fish sauce; Vincent mixed them all into a small bowl. He also found some lemons, and he squeezed three of them into the bowl.
"Hmm…" Hailee also tries other foods, and she can\'t contain her happiness. She was really looking forward to eating these native recipes from Asia.
She has been to many countries, and each place took a special place inside her heart because of its delicious foods!
"Hubby, I\'m sorry if I postpone your bachelor party." Once again, she felt guilty that she deliberately proposed to treat all of her workers just because of her cravings.
"You have nothing to apologize for, Wifey," said Vincent.
He picked up a piece of chicken and fed it to Hailee. She immediately opened her mouth. If Vincent didn\'t use disposable gloves, she would already bite and lick his fingers.
Vincent notices the way she looks at him with intent. He asked, "Hmm? Do you want anything? Which one do you want to eat next?"
A kittenish smile immediately played on her lips. She came closer to Vince and whispered in his ear. "You…"
Vincent shrunk his pupils. This girl never forgot to allure him even in front of thousands of her workers!
He sighed helplessly, watching Hailee lick her finger after she stuffed her mouth with a piece of prawn. Vincent swallowed hard.
\'No. I must pull myself from having wild thoughts in the middle of lunch!\'
Vincent tried to forget the tempting word Hailee whispered to him. His jaw dropped when Hailee kept looking at him seductively.
"Ahem!"
Vincent sat upright in his seat. His mom and sisters noticed the way they both acted. He glanced at Sheena and Deana, who giggled after Hailee winked at him.
The couple has been openly flirting in front of their family.
Gladly, Shun and Theo arrived, joined their table with their wives. Vincent is grateful that Hailee\'s attention now diverts to her friends. Otherwise, he has to endure his wife\'s charm, intentionally seducing him.
"Hail, your idea is too wonderful!" Nikki can\'t stop praising. She was craving something, and the foods on the table made her hungrier.
"I want to show my gratitude to everyone. They were the ones who joined my journey to make my dream come true. So I must take care and treat them well."
"We could see how they also love you," Cassandra chimed in. She was chewing a sizable portion of roast pig, which alerted Shun.
"Love, it was your due soon. Your doctor prohibited you from eating fatty foods."
Vincent dropped his jaw. The mafia emperor is too gentle when he talks to his wife.
Well, he should not be surprised about it when he cannot raise a voice to Hailee, as well.
So then, Vincent and Theo shared a knowing look, smiling as they have the same thoughts.
