His Contractual Mistress

Chapter 30:Insulting the Shen's

At the resort lobby, Vince and Hailey exited the building. She glanced at Vince's hand gripping hers. It was tight, but she didn't complain. Rather than hurting, delight filled her heart, holding Vince's warm hand.

But still a wonder to her... Every time Vince has to fight someone on behalf of her, he never uses his hands. It intrigues her that sometimes she wanted to ask Vince.

"Get in the car."

Pulling up the Lamborghini door, Vince told Hailey. She immediately slid down at the passenger seat and sat quietly.

Hailey keenly observes Vince's every action. He had big steps walking around the car and sat in the driver's seat. The silence inside is deafening her. Vince hasn't said a word yet since he starts the car. He steers the wheel with no emotion on his face until they exit the resort's main gate and now take the lonely road.

Vince's car speeds up. After like fifteen minutes, they had to stop and bumped into a traffic jam. Hailey was driving speed cars for years. Compared to Vince's speed, it was nothing to what she was used to.

However, Vince only concealed his anger. It didn't hide to her how tightly he was gripping on the steering wheel. It concerned her he only remained silent now they were alone.

For Hailey, she does not need Vince every time someone insulted her. But when she saw the anger in his eyes and the act of taking revenge on her behalf, she could not help feeling being please.

Again, Vince made her feel protected. And once again, Vince made her heart flutter and skip a beat.

Hailey keeps glancing in his direction. She wanted to say something, attempting to open her mouth, but no words form on her tongue as she could still sense his rage.

How can she make him calm down?

When their lunch break was over, Mrs. Gomez brought them to the Cellar in this resort to have a wine tasting.

After then, the junior students performed on how to make a cocktail with tricks. Mrs. Gomez encourages the first year to try it.

Both sophomores and junior college students teach first-year students. However, the male first year's making fun of while mimicking the tricks.

Hailey sat down on a chair. She already mastered making cocktails years ago, so then she only watched everyone attempt learning how to make cocktails.

However, one reckless student. He accidentally poured the wine on her head. The guy was behind her, trying to do his trick. But the other students are teasing him so that he made a mistake. And that happens.

Mrs. Gomez scolded the first-year students, and she apologized to Hailey on behalf of the students. But Hailey believes it's not needed.

"It's okay, Mrs. Gomez. Accidents happen," she said, then excuse herself to get a hand towel.

"Oh my gosh, Hailey! You were soaking with wine! You need to change clothes and wash your hair."

"Yeah. I guess I have to go to the main building to wash." She told Hazel, who freaked out seeing her drenched with red liquid.

"Oh, right! Vince has a suite in this resort, not mentioning his family is an Investor."

"Yeah," Nodding at Hazel, Hailey declared, "I have a few clothes left in there. I'll go change."

"Great! I will tell Mrs. Gomez to wait for you. We still have more time before heading back to the city."

"Thanks!" After thanking Hazel. She drove one of the golf carts that parked outside the Cellar. The main building is a few minutes away; she has to get it done quickly.

Arriving at the place, Hailey immediately walked toward the Reception counter. Her eyes traveled the entire lobby. She notices many guests are visiting the resort at the moment.

She guesses that some of them are part of the Class Reunion, as she recognized a few of Vincent's schoolmates in college he dines out sometimes.

At the counter, Hailey waited patiently for the Receptionist to be available. But after Cheryl notices her, the Receptionist left her post to attend to her.

Hailey didn't think it was wise to do. Honestly, she doesn't like it. Once her city is finished and starts operating, she must train her employees and strongly implement the policy: first come, first served.

It doesn't mean that the person who arrives holds more power and has an extreme family influence in the world than is to serve first than the guests who arrive ahead.

She dreams of giving fair treatment to everyone who wants to live in her city. Even if you are a Billionaire or you are only a millionaire or just an employee of a particular member in her Exclusive City, everyone will be treated excellent and fair as long as first come-first served applies to a situation.

She loves traveling; she encountered many situations where they always ignored her the moment someone arrived who wore glamorous designer clothes and rode in a limousine. That person then served first and treated extra special.

But her situation in Metro City is different.

Being Vince's girlfriend, everyone felt the need to treat her special, so then, they could gain favor and recognition from him, which made her roll an eye every time. People just wanted to take advantage of Vince.

But in Cheryl's case, they are neighbors before she becomes Vince's fake girlfriend. "Hi, Hailey! What can I do for you?"

"Hi, Cheryl! Can I borrow the key card?"

"Oh, are you going to use the suite? I will call housekeeping to clean it right away and replace the sheets. We didn't receive a notification from Mr. Shen that you will use it today, so it was only scheduled to clean tomorrow."

"Oh, that's okay! I won't stay longer. I will only wash my hair and change my clothes."

"What happened?" Cheryl scanned Hailey from the head down to her soaked t-shirt.

"Ah. Just a minor accident during our field training today."

Clapping her hands, Cheryl figures it out. "Ah, right! They notify us about N University's field training today, but they haven't informed us it was your class. Then, Nadia is with you?"

"Yes, she is. Also, the sophomore students and junior students are in this training."

"I see. I will..."

Cheryl was interrupted from talking when someone slammed on the countertop. A man in his late 20s is in rage and starts complaining.

"Miss! I got in here first! Why are you entertaining this girl instead?" The man who none other than is Howie Gu, casting a stern look both at her and Hailey.

Hailey smiled at Cheryl, gesturing her hand. "Go ahead. I can wait."

Cheryl nodded. She turned to the complaining customer and tried to smile.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Gu. It was my senior who suppose to assist you. She was just out for a minute," Cheryl explained, but Howie did not listen.

"I don't care! I got in here first! You should not make me wait!"

"Mr. Gu…" Cheryl attempted to explain, but the guy now ignored him but faced Hailey.

With disdain in his eyes, he scanned Hailey from her head down to her pink Converse. He tried to recall if he met her before in his family gatherings or political events by his father, Senator Gu, but nothing he could remember. It seemed like this girl was not from this city.

"Who are you?" Howie asked rudely.

"She was President Shen's girlfriend, Mr. Gu." It was Cheryl who instantly responded to Howie's query. She hoped that Howie Gu would now shut up and ignore Hailey. Honestly, she indeed ignored him because he was arrogant.

"Who? Mr. Fred Shen? Really?" tearing a smirk on his mouth, he looks at Hailey with mock.

Cheryl had a shock on her face. How dare this man insult the Shen's!? Cheryl gathers her patience to respond politely to this rude man.

"No, Mr. Gu. It was President Vincent Shen, CEO of SHEN GROUP."

"Oh, really? What a surprise that Vincent Shen has a girlfriend. Isn't he married to Eva Lan? Does Eva even know about this?"

The lobby that was noisy a while ago has now fallen in silence. Every pair of eyes curiously watches the drama in the Reception Area. For them, it was an exciting scene.

Meanwhile, Hailey has no time to deal with this man. She just ignored Howie Gu, who kept grinning at her. And because she did not reply or glance in his direction, Howie got pissed later on.

"I'm talking to you, slut! I wonder which Escort Agency Vincent Shen bought you? Maybe I will ask for his advice and refer me to someone? What do you think?"
