His Contractual Mistress-Chapter 447 - New CEOs Welcome Party (One)

"When did you arrive?" Hailee asked. She was purring on Vincent's chest, snuggling him tight to cope with the days they were separated since her husband had been occupied with more work than he had before.

"I flew back after midnight."

Vincent combed Hailee's hair and brushed her cheeks full of love. He is missing her too much. When he asked his mom how Hailee was, he was always on the edge of his seats as he wished to go home sooner to accompany her when she suffered from abdominal pain or chest pain.

"Oh, you calculate to arrive before sunrise."

"Hum…" Vincent hummed, nodding his head.

"Perfect then!" Hailee clapped her hands. "Janise needs you to have a fitting of your tuxedo for the party next week. I wished I could be there with you."

"I wished you were there, too. Every moment of my life is something I want to share with you. However, I cannot bear to see you suffer after." Vincent uttered with regret.

There is a welcome party for him in one week. It will also be the official announcement of Jacob retiring as the President of Davies Group, but a new CEO will step in.

The party will only tire Hailee, and it was a risk to her condition. She struggled to stand up, more so in walking around as she felt her bump were heavier as the week passes by. She always rubbed her lower back and stroked her belly from the uncomfortable she felt and her nannies to massage her foot.

"Where's mom?" Hailee wondered where her mom-in-law went to after Vincent arrived and now occupied the other side of the bed.

"She was in the kitchen to make you fresh tonics. She will also ask Chef Lynn and Chef Han for a delicious breakfast."

"Hmm… I could feel her putting the pillows on when I turned to my other side. Then I also shifted positions. I wonder if mom had proper sleep last night."

"Mom is fine. She woke up early, and she looked fresh." Vincent had this meaningful smile when he replied to Hailee.

As a matter of fact, it was his mom who actually texted him to report how Hailee has been having trouble sleeping. Hailee did not admit it to her, but according to his mom, she could tell it.

And so, he left Dream City by midnight, and he landed in Sydney before five in the morning. From the airport, he drove the latest Montfort sports car he designed, the one Hailee bought from him as she likes it too much. It has a speed of 301 MPH and 1600 horsepower.

It just took him and Pitt, who drove the latest Bugatti Chiron, to arrive at the mansion in fifteen minutes, as there was no traffic on the way. Vincent then had the chance to close his eyes for a few hours next to Hailee.

"It was nine in the morning. Are you not going to the office?"

"I took a half-day off, but later I need to attend the conference meeting in the afternoon."

"Okay. Then I will ask the chef to prepare a delightful lunch!"

"That would be wonderful. I'll instruct your nannies to arrange our breakfast on the terrace."

"Okay. Let's have a bath together after having our breakfast."

"Sure." Vincent kissed the top of Hailee's nose before he walked toward the door.

SOLARIS HOTEL

One week later, the entrance of Solaris Hotel was filled with reporters and paparazzi to capture the Red Carpet of the special event tonight.

Tonight, each of Davies Corporation's bosses and business partners was invited. Including the entire Dream City construction companies that have projects with Davies Group.

And so tonight, Hailee's executive knights also attended the party as a representative of Davies Group and Vincent's family were present to embody Shen Group.

At that moment, a white limousine pulled over. Hundreds of cameras were aiming at the car as they knew it was the Shen family arrived.

Frederick, Hilda, and their daughters, Deana and Sheena, are escorted by their husbands walking on the Red Carpet.

"I thought your brother's wedding would be the last grand celebration I would attend, like walking on the red carpet," Stephen whispered in his wife's ear.

Sheena smiled at her husband and whispered back. "It was only the beginning, my dear. We will always be present at every grand celebration of our family."

Indeed, Vincent always shared the important happenings in his life with his family; through sadness or happiness, they learned to hold on to each other.

"I never imagined the day I would be part of the limelight. I was always amazed that I married a princess." Stephen added when they were finally free from the media.

Sheena halted and faced her husband. She fixed his bow tie and smiled at him.

"Sometimes, a princess does not need a prince. But a kind heart man, who loves her with all his whole heart."

Stephen was moved by Sheena's words. He has nothing he could offer to his wife but his love.

"I love you, babe." she peaked on her husband's cheek.

"I love you too, babe."

Hand in hand, Sheena and Stephen resumed walking toward the Grand Hall of Hailee's hotel. Tonight, some more important people have arrived, and the media was elated to take hundreds of photos of them.

"Master Crow! Can we interview you briefly?"

Shun halted in his tracks and walked closer to the reporters.

"Shun, it is not a good idea." Daichi Isagawa persuaded Shun to stop, but the guy only smiled at him.

He reasoned, "No worries. The sparrows are looking out from the sky."

Shun was meant for his special team of snipers. When he halted in front of the reporters, many rushed over to have a chance to ask him a question.

"I'll only answer the best question."

After Shun says that, each of the reporters throws their questions. Shun keenly listens if there are significant questions to answer with sensibility in return.

"Master Crow! What update can you share with us regarding Liam Huo?"

"Master Crow! Everyone is curious why your wife never looks old. Can you tell us your secret?" fr𝚎e𝙬𝚎𝚋𝚗૦ν𝚎𝒍.c૦m

"Yes, Master Crow! Your wife had just given birth, but she quickly returned to her slender finger!"

Shun glanced at Cassandra, who was currently taking a picture in front of the signboard with the Montfort couple, Madison and Levi.

Returning his attention to the reporter, Shun smiled and picked that question to answer.

"Of course, I take very good care of my wife. That is why..." Shun trailed his words. 𝘧𝓇𝗲𝑒we𝙗noѵ𝑒l.𝐜o𝘮

The media are keener to hear his comment regarding Liam Huo, but the reporters give up in pursuing the question as obvious, that Shun would only dodge it if they ask a seriously related question.

"Master Crow, what can you comment about the parents of your son's classmate regarding the viral video? The video contents are about your son saying he wants to be a scientist and he will build a time machine. Would the Crow and Williams Institution support this?"

Shun glanced at the reporter who threw this question. He chuckled and replied to that.

"That video was during my eldest son's class held a Career Day activity. Allen chose a scientist costume, and the speech he prepared was to build a time machine. He was much influenced by his uncle Derek Williams, who broke through the line of medicine many times. So, if my son Allen truly pursues Science, then I will definitely give my hundred percent support to the career he will choose."

"If your family successfully built a time machine. Which time are you going to travel, Master Crow?"

Everyone turned their head to the person who threw the question. Suddenly, the crowd shut their mouths, but the noise could only be heard by the clocks of their cameras.

Each of them anticipated how Shun would answer this question. They all look expectant. On the other hand, Shun snickered upon recognizing that man.

'Samuel Miller…'

The guy disguises but Shun still recognizes him. After a moment had passed, Shun laughed heartily.

"I would definitely visit the future, fifty years from now if my wife stops aging at eighteen. I am curious if she divorces me when I am like eighty years old by then?"

The crowd laughed with Shun's jest. He looked at the man and beamed at him. Shun took this opportunity to divert the reporter's attention.

"It looks like the Shang family has arrived. Excuse me, everyone."

Mentioning the Shang family, the media quickly positioned their cameras toward Theo Shang and his pregnant wife.

Shun and Cassandra meet them halfway, and together, they pose for a photo.

Meanwhile, Hailee watched the live streaming of the event. She was sad that she wasn't there to mingle with her friends. She was also envious that Cassandra's figure gets back so quickly like she didn't give birth.

"Would my figure return so immediately?" Hailee asked hopelessly.

The three girls who accompanied her shared a look at each other. At this moment, they cannot answer Hailee as they did not experience it yet, such things as being a mother.

"We know you would definitely get back on your perfect finger once the princes and princesses came out to the world," said Hazel instantly, to console Hailee.

"I seconded, Hail! I often remember how you ate too much. However, you never gain too much weight!" Liza echoed.

"I concurred! We actually envy you! Just a brief run. You burn fat so quickly!" Nadia chimed in.

"Really? Do you think so?"

"Yup!" The three girls nod their heads vigorously. Gladly, the next couple that walked in the Red Carpet caught Hailee's attention. The girls sigh with relief that Hailee stopped throwing tan tantrums out of the blue.

"Oh, my gosh! It was Carmen!" Suddenly, Hailee exclaimed and seemed excited as her index finger pointed at the TV screen.

"Oh, I remember her at your wedding! She is so gorgeous!" Hazel complimented the beautiful woman wearing a white satin evening dress.

"Yes, she is. Wow! Carmen and John look so great together!" Hailee could see that something was going on with the two. The way they stared at each other's eyes was like she and Vincent.

Hailee fell silent. For a moment, she contemplated if John was a perfect guy for Carmen.

'But if Carmen loves John. Then I will give my support to my friend..' It was what was on Hailee's mind.
