His Contractual Mistress

Chapter 172 - DV Gem Asia Branch Launching (Four)

Leticia Javier and Dana Hanes welcome all the guests to tonight\'s launching party at the grand hall. When they spotted Hilda at the door, they warmly welcomed her.

"Good evening, Madam Shen!" Dana welcomed her, then Leticia offered to the woman and guided her to the ballroom.

"I will show you your table, Aunt Hilda."

"Thank you, Leticia. I love the theme." She complimented after her eyes traveled to the whole reception.

Leticia is familiar with her character. Her family is a good friend of Frederick Shen\'s family. And once to receive praise from Hilda Shen, it should regard it as a treasure.

She is a person who is hard to please. The occasion tonight costs millions to be one of a kind launching party, and it would be a waste if it didn\'t meet her expectation of a grand event of the year.

"I love the chandelier," said Hilda after they arrived at the table reserved for her. She noticed they replaced the chandeliers in this hall.

"Hail... I mean, Miss Davies sent it from Dubai for this grand launching, and she plans to donate it to this hotel." Ah. Her tongue almost slips out!

"Really?" Hilda was a bit surprised at what she learned.

The chandeliers are made of crystals and gold metal, worth thousands of US dollars each. To sum up the three chandeliers, over hundreds of thousand, which in P Country currency, costs millions.

"So, she is throwing fortune just like that, huh?" Hilda remarked. She is impressed by how generous the DV Gem boss.

"She wants to build a good relationship with Metro City Garden, Aunt Hilda," Leticia explained. Hailey didn\'t say anything, but it must be the reason. Anyway, one of the owners of this mall and hotel is her boyfriend\'s family.

"Hmm... I like her. She\'s a brilliant businesswoman," said Hilda with no idea that the person she compliments—none other than is the girl she dressed up.

Leticia broadens her smile. If only she could laugh, but Madam Hilda would be confused why she\'s laughing all of a sudden between their conversation. The woman might misunderstand and thinks she\'s insulting her.

"I will send a message that you are pleased with her gift."

"Please... I\'ll be delighted if you do that. As well, I would love to give her my congratulations in person if I am given a chance to meet her."

Leticia\'s smile even widened. She could not wait to chat with Hailey and have some gossip. \'Hail, your boyfriend\'s mom is praising you!\'

"I will mention it to Miss Davies, Aunt Hilda." You can tell her yourself! You have all the opportunities, Aunt Hilda!

"Hm. Thank you, Leticia. By the way… Do you think Miss Davies of DV Gem and the heiress of Davies Group are the same person?" Out of curiosity, Hilda asked Leticia, who was partly surprised.

"Honestly, I only have a little information about the owner of the DV Inc., Aunt Hilda." It was the truth. She did not know, and she had no information about the heiress of Davies Group. There are rumors around society, but no one could confirm it.

All they know, she has a net worth of a trillion US dollars. And if she has that kind of worth, she would also choose not to tell the world that... \'Hey, I am Miss Davies. The heiress of tremendous wealth.\'

Leticia came back to reality when Hilda spoke again.

"I see. I\'m just wondering if they are the same person as Vincent\'s boss."

"Oh, right! It will be incredible if they are the same person! There will be possibilities, but if not, maybe they are relatives? I\'m curious to know too! But I should maintain a professional relationship with Miss Davies. Maybe one day, I could gather the courage to ask her. Anyway, hasn\'t Vincent met his boss?"

"No. It\'s only the Chairman of Davies Group."

"I see. Well, if she is the same person and Vincent didn\'t meet her yet? Then she must invest more time in DV Inc. than her other company," Leticia gives her opinion with a smile and a meaning Hilda failed to read. The woman seems in deep thoughts.

"Yeah. I\'m hoping I can meet the DV Inc. owner." Hilda muttered with hope. "By chance, is she planning to visit P Country?"

"Maybe, aunt Hilda." Well, Vincent won\'t meet her if she is in P Country. Leticia mused.

\'I want to meet her one day. Maybe she\'s still single, and I could invite her to my birthday and... Ah. What am I thinking? My son is obsessed with someone else already. If I introduce him to another girl, he probably hates me more. I don\'t want him to hate me completely. That is why I am trying my best to be nice to his girlfriend. But maybe…\' Ah. She must be thinking impossible things.

Meanwhile, when Hilda is lost in her world, Leticia also thinks, \'Madam Shen, you don\'t need to wish to meet the DV owner! You often cross paths with her!\'

As they have a pleasant conversation, Leticia and Madam Shen continue chatting a little more. Later on, their eyes glued to the big screen on the stage.

Back at Hilda\'s hotel suite, Baron couldn\'t contend himself while staring at Hailey\'s beautiful face.

"My God! You\'re so pretty! We don\'t need to do much with your face. You are already beautiful, so we need to apply light makeup on you and probably a rogue or mauve lipstick. And this, and this..." Baron makes himself busy in the next couple of minutes.

"It\'s done! Now is your hair! My gosh! I don\'t know what hairstyle I should do to your hair! Ah! I need to calm down. Breathe in and breathe out..." He inhales and exhales for seconds. "I want to try everything! But Madam surely is waiting already."

"Yeah." Hailey was amused, staring at the mirror, particularly at Baron\'s reflection. She just let him do whatever he came up with to style her, which satisfies her.

"Ah! I don\'t know if I should style it as a bun or let your hair rest on your back. Ah! Barbie girl! Anything is good for you! But I want to make you the most beautiful woman at that party!"

"Thank you, Baron." She thanked and smiled at the guy who began styling her hair.

"It\'s my honor to style you like this! And so, if you are going to attend a party in the future, I would love to offer you my service, and it\'s for free!"

"I\'ll remember that, and I\'m looking forward to it. I will tell Vincent to reward your hard work." She knows well that Baron is a close friend of the Lopez family. Little flattery won\'t hurt.

"Omg! That is amazing! Thank you, Barbie girl! There, you\'re ready for the party! Oh, wait! There\'s one more!" Baron strode to the bed and raided the jewelry boxes, but he came back empty-handed. "I can\'t find any suitable jewelry for your dress!"

"Oh. In that case, I\'ll borrow a set from a friend." She readied a party dress and set of jewelry in case of the need to show up or something happens.

"Hm. Then I\'ll leave that to you! The truth is, I am following your fashion sense! I always waited to see your photos on social media to see your dresses and jewelry and how you styled your hair! And they are all stunning!"

"Thank you. During those times, I put makeup on myself and do my hair all by myself," she told Baron. Hailey sat up and scanned her reflection in the wall mirror in that suite.

"Wow! Why don\'t you create a channel where you can post a tutorial video?"

"Ah. I have no time for that." And it\'s true. She has more things to do! She has businesses to run to. "Besides, I\'m not fond of wearing makeup all the time."

"Well, you are so pretty without makeup." Baron complimented furthermore. "Oh! Before I forget! Can we have a photo together?" Asked Baron, which she was approved of. The guy was delighted to take several selfies and whole-body photos of her.

"But don\'t post it right away. My appearance would not be surprising anymore." Hailey reminded him before she left the suite.

"Got it!"
