His Contractual Mistress

Chapter 56 - Her Privileges

"Everything is fine now," Hailey told Vince on the phone.

"You should call the security immediately if this happens again, or any situation in the future."

"Ah, that... Okay... I will keep it in mind," Hailey didn\'t argue might Vince insist another thing. Sometimes she wanted to stop Vince from being exaggerated in showering her a luxurious life.

She is used to this kind of life, but it was too much already! It made her uncomfortable strolling around the mall followed by bodyguards. At first, that is the setting, until she complains to Vince.?She understood though because the media wanted a piece of her.

Well, her dad is the same anyway. It takes a while before he let her roam Australia alone. Ah... Not really... Unless she is with the boys or one of the boys accompanied her.

And now, it was Vince who assures that she was comfortable, where she was treated well and served which became unbelievable.

"All right! I phoned you to inform you that I might come home late tonight. I have multiple meetings today for my business trip next week."

"Oh! You\'re going out of the country."

"Yes! Well... Let us talk about it more tomorrow over breakfast."

"Right!" Hailey bites her lip to suppress her playful smile. Of course, she knew where Vince was headed! It was her who requested Vince to fly to Australia and survey Dream City, and him to began to design what she dreamed of for a long time.

"Um... I\'m hanging up now for you to continue having lunch. Please, have a good time shopping," said Vince.

"Thank you."

After exchanging a few more words, Hailey put down her phone and continued eating her food.

"What?" She glared at the girls when they haven\'t settled down from being thrilled over her and Vince\'s conversation.

"Boss is too Romantic!" Liza squealed, which made Hailey blushed.

"And you\'re in love!" Nadia and Hazel echoed.

"Hey!" She could not believe these teenagers would tease her like this. Probably, because she is now transparent about her feelings for Vince.

"You know, Hail. You should report it to the management the moment that a*hole steals your spot."

"Honestly, I don\'t want to take advantage of Vince\'s influences."

"Nah-ah! You should start getting used to the privilege given to you. It\'s no difference when you become Mrs. Shen."

Hailey was choked with the sparkling sweet wine she is gulping. She looks at Hazel with awe. She said it loudly and their neighboring table glancing in their direction!

"Hey, keep your voice down!" Her face is flushing red. Hazel really got her good with her jokes.

"What? Vince is not getting younger!" Hazel snaps. "He needs a real wife and you two should have children as soon as possible."

"Okay. But Shen already had grandchildren. Vince\'s sisters had children already." Hailey realized, Hazel always cheers on her relationship with Vince. Sadly, Hazel didn\'t know that it was just a contract.

"That\'s the point! Vince is the oldest, but he hasn\'t produced any child yet! Thank god he didn\'t make Eva the mother of his child. That girl is annoying, you know?"

"Okay." That was what she could only respond to. What else could she say? She is only the Contractual Mistress, she is not Vince\'s real girlfriend, to begin with. And she could not tell Hazel, Nadia, and Liza about the truth.

The thought of her being Vince\'s wife does not sound bad. And being a mother of his child? It even sounds better. No. It was wonderful! However, things are complicated between them. A lot of things to consider first. Several things have to take care of first. It\'s not only on Vince\'s part but moreover, on her part.

Besides, remain in her mind about the girl mentioned that he likes before. How if Vince met her again?

Ah. Why was she thinking about this stuff? She has nothing to do with Vince\'s real love life. That is supposed to be...

Lunch is over, they head to the shop where Hazel picks out her dress.

"Good afternoon, Miss Hazel! Welcome! Please, come in." The store manager leads them upstairs where the expensive party dress can try on and makes changes on the spot.

Liza and Nadia stop breathing after they checked the prices of those dresses worn by the mannequins. The same as the dresses hang on the racks.

And because Hailey already turned down Vince\'s invitation to be his date. She leisurely sat on the couch while flipping through the catalog of other dresses that were made to order.

Meanwhile, Hazel began her fittings. First, she tries on a white dress, but it looks like she is getting married. She tries a pink one next. And she looks like having her eighteen birthday for the second time.

Hazel tried blue and red dresses, but she could not choose which one made her look stunning.

"Hail, I think you should try on, too!" Hazel suggested. She was looking at her reflection, wearing a purple evening dress.

Hailey replied, "Nah. I\'m not attending the class reunion."

"I know. But why not try them some?"

"Oh, can we try on a few dresses too?" Liza was hoping to try on these gorgeous gowns and have a photo of them to update her Instagram. It\'s a rare opportunity she has and she will seize this opportunity!

"Yes, Hazel! Can we ask the store manager\'s permission?" Nadia whispered to Hazel not to be heard, but the store manager came to her.

The store manager smiled. "Of course, you can! Miss Hazel rented the store for a whole afternoon to try on all the dresses we have her upstairs."

Nadia and Liza look at Hazel with amazement. Having money can do anything. But being a kind and down-to-earth person in front of your friends is something in this world.

"Thank you, Hazel!" Both Nadia and Liza hug Hazel tight. The two girls were enthralled while they were picking out the dresses they wanted to try on.

Hazel laughs nervously. True that her family runs a few businesses, but it\'s nothing compared to Shen\'s! And what happens today is that because of the privilege she received from her sponsor and she could not tell her friends about it.

Now that both Nadia and Liza were immersed themselves in which dresses they would try, Hazel fixes her attention on Hailey, who seems not thrilled to see all of these gowns in the store. She walked toward Hailey and pulled her hand. "You too! You must try these dresses!"

"That is not needed!" Hailey refused. She remained seated on the couch, but Hazel is persistent.

"Come on! I saw a gorgeous red dress! You should try it on!"

"Hazel?" Hailey gives up when Hazel dragged her toward the fitting room and pushes her down to the round couch in front of a wall mirror.

"Wait here! I\'ll bring you the dress!" Hazel told Hailey, she rushed outside. Not long after, she brought the red dress and a cream evening gown she talked about.

"I don\'t need to try them on!" She insisted.

"Yes, you will! We are already here, then why not?" said Hazel with a playful smile. In the end, Hailey tried the dresses Hazel gave her.

And it\'s not just two or three dresses. Hazel keeps giving her all the style and designs the store has! She was like in a photoshoot! And that because Hazel always takes a photo of her every time she steps out of the fitting room where her friends would judge the dress she puts on.

"Guys? This is the sixth dress I try on."

"But none is perfect yet," Hazel remarks.

"Perfect for what?"
