His Contractual Mistress

Chapter 104 - Her Secret Bodyguard

Hailey was at Vince's bedroom to check his luggage if he brought enough clothes for Australia.

Vince will be there for a week or two. After determining his projects, he plans to visit P Country to organize the team he needed to start working on his projects.

Hailey watches Vince's two luggage. She wonders what she forgets to pack.

"Hey, what's the matter?" asked Vince. He found Hailey in deep thoughts in front of his bed. His arms instantly wrapped around her waist the moment he approached her.

Hailey placed her palms on top of Vince's hands; she looked up at him and replied, "I was just wondering what else you needed. It was hotter in Australia. You need more casual shirts. So, don't forget to change clothes before your sweat dries on your body."

Vince smiled. He was touched by how Hailey showed concern for him. He lowered his head and brushed her lips with his. He mumbled, "How if you come with me?"

Hailey blinked. She pushed her lips into an awkward smile. She answered, "In the future…"

She didn't finish her words but deepened the kiss. Vince scooped her and brought her to the bed. "Hey, you have a flight to catch soon," she reminded Vince.

"I have a few more hours." His reply while his tongue licks her earlobe.

Hailey sighed and closed her eyes. 'This guy!'

Tim picked up his boss at exactly midnight. He took the two luggage and headed to the elevator, leaving his boss behind, who was still saying goodbye to his girlfriend.

"Please, be careful, okay? If anything happens, please call Carl or Lloyd."

Hailey lifted her chin to reach Vince's lips and place a smacking kiss.

"I will be fine. The island is private, so no other guests are around," she assures him.

Gladly, that before the accident, she didn't mention yet to Vince about Kelly and Pitt's visits. They should have arrived last Friday evening. If ever, their original plan would be a mess. Just yesterday, she able to open up about her friend's one-week vacation in Palm Island at P Country's West Sea.

Vince showed interest in meeting them, but his meetings with Davies Group executives were more important. He said, "Hoping I can meet them one day."

"Sure! You will be..."

Vince knew that Kelly and Pitt were from Australia, so she had to be very careful.

Hailey looked at Vince. There is no sign of him to leave, and so she reminded him again. "Your plane is waiting."

Vince groaned. "I'll be missing you."

"Same here…" she said with her whole heart. Things weren't the same anymore. They are used to sleeping in the same bed and waking up in each other's arms the following day.

After one more kiss, Vince forced his legs to move. He has been feeling how it was heavy in the heart every time he steps out from that door to take care of his out-of-town or out of the country business trips.

But this time, it was the heaviest partings, as he could feel that his heart was left behind again.

Now that Vince left. Hailey rushed to her room to pack a few things she needed for the island. Although she need not bring many clothes, it will be suspicious if she brings no suitcase with her.

She picked up her plane ticket to C Province, where a small Jet will be waiting for her and bring her to Palm Island.

After a few hours since Vince take off, Hailey was already in the airport waiting for her flight. A cup of latte in her hand, she pulled out her phone when it didn't stop chiming.

"Hey, Hazel… what's up!"

["Hail, we've missed you already! When will you be attending classes again?"]

"I will be next week. Let's catch up and hang out in your house. How about that?"

["Really?"]

"Yup! So, see you guys next week!"

["Okay! And let's go shopping again! My birthday is soon. Don't forget that, hm?"]

"Ah, thanks for reminding me! It disappeared in my mind after what happened to Vince."

["Don't worry. I understood. See, yah!"]

Hailey had a long sigh after the call. She's glad that Hazel, Nadia, and Liza asked little about Vince's accident. It was the reason she liked these girls. They know which and what things they have to be nosy about her being Vince's girlfriend.

And one thing that surprised her, they didn't think wrong at her after the issues began.

"All passengers that bound C City, please fall in line here," said a flight attendant.

Hailey followed the crowd and fall in line. Then she saw a familiar face. The guy is wearing a black cap. He nods at her before he walks away.

Hailey took out her phone and dialed a particular number. The guy quickly answered her call with just its first ring.

"What's the matter, Bruce? Do you have a mission here?"

["Yes, ma'am. It was you."]

"What? Why? Is Sandy asks you?"

["No, ma'am. Shen's is hiring someone to follow you around and make sure that no one can harm you while President Vincent Shen is out of the country."]

"Wait, Vincent hired you?"

["Well… It's Mr. Fred Shen who approached our agency. He is looking for a trusted agent to follow around. It was his son's request."]

"I see. So are you the one who was assigned then?"

["No, ma'am. But I squeezed in."]

Hailey pursed her lips into a wicked smile. "Great job."

["Thank you, ma'am."]

"So, whom will you report to?"

["President Vincent Shen called me earlier to report directly to him. But Mr. Fred Shen also wanted me to report to him."]

"I see." And she understands why. "Okay. So, what are you going to tell them?"

["If what you wanted me to tell them, ma'am."]

Hearing this, her smile widened. It satisfied her with how intelligent Bruce is.

"I think we will be great friends, Bruce."

["It's my honor, ma'am."]

"So, from now on, you can stop calling me, ma'am. My knights are calling me Princess."

["Do you mean… I…"] Bruce stammers his words. He had heard enough information about Hailey Hillson through Sandy. And being permitted to call her Princess is like kneeling one foot in front of her and receiving the title as her knight. ["I'll work harder… erm, Princess."]

"Glad to hear! Anyway, I'm on the plane now."

["I'll be there in a minute, Princess."]

Hailey hung up on the call. Not long, she saw Bruce enter the door and make his way toward her. Bruce had a friendly smile across his face, greeting the flight attendant and the other passengers.

Bruce sat behind her seat. Hailey wanted to let out a laugh. She realized Vince had arranged this on purpose that the agent could monitor her easily.

Luckily, her agent was working in the agency where Shen hired her secret bodyguard. And indeed lucky that her agent was brilliant. Bruce is worthy of being her New Knight.

Hailey was preparing to take a nap when her phone rings.

"Pitt?"

["We have just taken off, Princess."]

"Great! How was Kelly?" she asked. Pitt didn't reply right away but hurled a long sigh. She could sense that these two had just fought. "Did you two fight again?"

["You can't expect me to be patient with her! Ouch!"]

Hailey suppressed, not laughing. She need not guess, Kelly, kicked Pitt.

["Your heel could kill me!"] It is what Hailey heard from the background. Pitt then spoke on the phone. ["Princess, let's talk when we arrived. This will not work! Take her when you go back to Australia!"]

Hailey shook her head. "Alright. Let's talk later. See you guys!"

After the call, Hailey types on her phone. Next, Bruce's phone chimed for a new message that arrived.

'Would you report this to Shen? If whoever I talk to on the phone?'

['Since they told me that you are meeting your friends' names' Pitt and Kelly. I don't have to report it to them.']

'I see… Let me know if Shen asks you for something or anything related to me.'

['Copy, Princess.']

Hailey put away her phone and closed her eyes. She contemplates… In a few hours, Vince will meet her other Knights.
