Chapter 133 - My Fiancée

The welcome party that threw for him was lovely. But this is not only about him or Shen Group. This dinner party is also an opportunity to meet and mingle with the rest of the firm working under Davies Group.

He got a chance to talk to these big firms that he looks up to ever since high school. Now, he was standing on the same level as they are.

In fact, he was the youngest boss among them, and that is something that made him proud.

Not to act arrogantly, but to show that a company like Shen Group could compete internationally and give the best work like how these giant firms transformed the world.

No. That's not the correct praise. He could surpass them, and he is ambitious to do so and prove to the world.

Now, his success is within his grasps; he wanted to share it with someone his heart has been aching to hold again.

Vincent excused himself and headed to the veranda. He took out his phone and dialed Hailey's contact.

It only takes two rang, and Hailey answered his call.

"Hi!"

"Hey. How are you?" he asked Hailey lovingly.

Vincent didn't hide how much he long to hold her again.

"I'm fine." But the truth is, his call had just arrived at the right time when she badly needed his security.

If people who aren't in love or naive about romance, like her before, would never understand what she is feeling right now.

Listening to Vince's voice is like music that soothes her raging senses and can ease her loneliness.

"I missed you too, Hail."

Finally, a smile plastered on her lips. All the pain she felt tonight suddenly washes away.

"I love you."

Her voice is full of solemnity that made Vince's heart skip a beat. She didn't say his name like the last time that accidentally was heard by Bryan. From here on and in the future chances, she needs to be extra careful.

"I can't wait to go home," said Vince after they talked about how beautiful the night sky is.

"Same to me... I want to go home soon."

They said, 'home is where your heart is.' Everywhere is her home as long as Vince was there.

"Alright. Since your friends are visiting the country, then seize the time you could enjoy their company and the island."

"I will. Thank you." Vince is thoughtful and considerate as always, the reason she could not help but fall in love with him.

Although he slowly showed and admitted later how jealous he is if she is close to other men or is friendly with them, he never fails to treat her right and even treat her better.

Hailey leaned on the wall and closed her eyes, wishing she was inside Vince's arms and his lips against hers.

"I wished you were here."

She heard Vince groan from the other line. It's like they were thinking the same at the moment. To feel each other's arms.

"Soon, I'll see you," Vince added.

"I'll be waiting."

The call ended. Hailey glanced at where Vince was standing before she got inside the room and closed the door.

After her conversation with Vince, she is a lot better now.

However, Hailey paled when she found her dad sitting leisurely in a chaise.

"Dad, when did you come in?" she asked nervously.

"Ah, just now, Princess. I thought that maybe you were in the powder room. So I am waiting here."

"Ah. I'm just answering some calls, dad." She studied her dad's face. But she couldn't find any indifference in his mood. It seems that her dad heard nothing, then she had nothing to worry about.

"Princess, why are you leaving so soon?"

"I'm sorry, dad." She sat beside her dad and leaned on his shoulder.

Now that she secured the contract for Shen Group, she is at ease that finally, Vince is working for her.

"Alright. But promise me to set a date to visit us here from time to time, okay? Or, how about I will visit you in Dubai sometimes?"

Hailey suddenly was in a panic, but she calmed down and hid any uncertainties.

"I will come sometime, dad," she assures the old man. She needs to think of an excuse and make plans to do this that Vince would not suspect. "Don't worry. I will also call you regularly. But if one day I could not do that, then I'm pretty much busy."

"Okay, Princess. I understood. I'm happy to hear that you will visit again soon."

"Yes, dad." Hailey forces herself to smile broadly, not for her dad to suspect anything.

What happened between her and Bryan a while ago creates a constraint to ask his help to meet Eva. She desires to resolve Vince's divorce so that she could introduce him to her dad soon. Not only that, she wants Bryan to be free from Eva as well.

But what should she do now? Bryan is vocal in his feelings and wanted to start over. He even confesses that he genuinely loves her.

While Hailey has her worries, Jacob is fidgeting on the chaise. He is antsy while pondering if his daughter now has a boyfriend and who he is.

The way their conversation goes on, his daughter is anxious to go home to him. It looks like it is one of the reasons why she doesn't want to stay in Australia!

Then who is he!? After all, he could not ask his daughter!

Ah! He needs to talk to Pitt or Tom, or maybe he needs to call Shun for help!

But if he investigates his daughter's whereabouts, and she learns about it?

Ah! Can he even confront his daughter? He is a helpless dad!

Meanwhile, Vincent is preparing to go back inside when someone calls out to him. He then notices the guy seated on the staircase.

"Mr. Shen..." Bryan sat up.

"Mr. Anderson? I didn't notice that someone was here in the dark," said Vince.

"It's okay. It's just become my habit of sitting here." Bryan replied. He climbed the stairs and joined Vincent in the railings of the veranda.

Bryan rested his lower back on the stone railings. He reaches to his pocket and takes out a cigarette box.

"Do you smoke, Mr. Shen?"

Vince shook his head. "I was before, occasionally. But I completely stopped it."

"I see. Is it for your wife? She doesn't like it?"

"Well, partly. But my hands are always full with work, and it didn't become my habit, so it's easy for me to quit."

"Hmm... It's also an occasion for me in the past or a year ago. My fiancé didn't like the smell of cigarettes, and so I didn't smoke when I was in Australia."

Bryan glanced at Vincent to read his face. He knew that he was curious why he was smoking now.

"We called off the wedding. She broke up with me a year ago."
