Outside the SHEN GROUP building, Vince pulled up the door for Hailey to get inside her car.

  "Thanks…" Blushed, she thanked Vince. She knows this is part of their act, but lately, she couldn't control her heart to flutter from his gestures. Her chest-beating crazily like she will have a heart seizure at any moment.

  Hailey thought Vince would leave now. But he remained leaning on the car. 'What is he doing?' The way Vince acted lately left a concern in her chest.

  "All right. If you came across Zenaida and she bothered you. Tell me right away. Let me take care of her."

  "Don't worry. I won't yield without a fight. But if you don't like me to do scandalous scenes, I won't fight back."

  Hearing her reasoning like this, Vince couldn't stop himself from bursting out a laugh. The scene they were witnessing surprised the two security guards at the entrance door. However, they pretend to see nothing.

  "Okay. Of course, you should protect yourself. But let me know if anyone causes you trouble. I'll deal with it."

  Couldn't find words to respond, Hailey nodded and tore a timid smile. She was more preoccupied settling down her chest than listening to him. She's more worried Vince will hear how fast her heart is beating at the moment.

  "I might not come home early tonight, so just fix something for you."

  Vince uttered, and she realized it was so close to her ears. 'Now he is acting like a lover?' Hailey thought. It made her more uncomfortable. 'He's not informing me of his activities before. That's new.' She mused.

  "Okay! Got it!" she sighs under her breath, Vince still so close to her.

  "Have a safe drive on your way to the university," said Vince. He then planted a kiss on her forehead.

  Meanwhile, Timothy Cheng, Vince's assistant, was shaking his head while peering down below. His boss has the leisure time to flirt in the middle of work. Tim lifted his head, then to find out the other Executives were also curiously leaning in the floor-ceiling window to gossip. They were curious to meet the mistress, but they were on the 55th floor. Impossible to have a clearer view down below.

  Tim coughs to remind everyone to go back to their seat. Embarrassed, they sat down and waited for the CEO to come back.

  ~~~~~

  Like bitten red, Hailey trotted into her LaFerrari Aperta and squeezed the traffic to arrive at school on time.

  'What is wrong with that CEO? He suddenly is touchy!' Although it was in the contract that she would allow him to do such things for their acts like being intimate with each other.

  Maybe I'm just not used to have an intimate interaction with my opposite sex because I never had a boyfriend since birth. All she had was a bunch of boys' friends.

  Hailey was in deep thoughts when she remembered what Zenaida replied to Vince about Eva. Does no one know of her whereabouts? That's impossible.

  She didn't believe it when Zenaida said her sister was still not contacting them. But what is Vince doing? Why didn't he take this seriously? With his money and influence, surely he could afford to pay someone to look for his wife.

  Even though he hated chasing a woman, the case is his divorce from Eva.

  'It seems like I need to step in and help Vince search for his wife. Once Eva found and signed the divorce paper, it meant it was the end of our contract.' Hailey thought.

  When that happens, she can finally go back home to Australia. She mused.

  At that moment, she will act on her own to help Vince get his divorce as soon as possible. For three months she acted as Vince's mistress. She slowly got to know him.

  Vince is a workaholic person like her. He never takes a break to relax or have two days of vacation once in a while.

  'I could see myself in him.' Hailey thought. 'Maybe the difference is that I am surrounded by many people who love me.'

  But Vince is hiding even from his family because of this marriage thing.

  'It is the reason I signed the contract because I want him to get his divorce from that woman! She doesn't deserve Vince.'

  That woman is taking advantage of the opportunity that Shen, giving her so much favor as the daughter-in-law. But she was here to help Vince be free from that arranged marriage system.

  Vince deserves to be happy. Hoping when he gets his divorce, he will find a woman who would love him the rest of her life and not because she after for his money.

  'I prayed she would take care of him and watch his health. Vince always misses his meal on time and always in dinner meetings and gatherings that end him drinking too much.'

  'Maybe he needs a domineering wife? The one nags him always to eat on time, encourages him to visit his gym to exercise to stay healthy, and most of all, a woman who will insist for him to take time to relax, go on a vacation to bond with his family?' Hailey mused.

  Yes! He needs to find a new wife! And I'm going to help him!

  Excitement crept into her chest; Hailey searches for someone's contact on her IG account and connects a call. She waited for several rings before that person answered it.

  "Hello, Princess?"

  The person from the other end of the call sounds sleepy and yawning.

  "Hi, Pitt! Where were you? Are you still sleeping? It's almost noon in Australia!"

  "What's up? I'm nowhere in Australia," answered the other end of the call.

  Curiously, Hailey asked the guy, "What? Where are you?"

  "I'm in the Caribbean."

  "Okay… then isn't it still evening there?" She's uncertain, though.

  "I haven't sober up yet."

  "I see. You were drinking for days again."

  "Well, I'm awake now. You won't call me without a job for me, right?"

  "Yup! I have a new job for you. Well, not new, but another task."

  "Okay, I'm all ears, Princess."

  "I want you to locate Eva Lan."

  "It's not about that. I don't care about that woman anymore, okay? But I have important things to deal with her. I want you to send someone in the US to search if she was in there, or she was still in Australia. Please, assign someone who will keep an eye on Bryan. I'm sure he knows where that woman is. He is the closest lead to her location."

  "Okay. Haven't you moved on yet?"

  "I do!"

  "But why are you looking for her and even want me to follow Bryan? You already called off the wedding, right?"

  Hailey could picture Pitt frowning upon hearing Bryan's name. She replied, "It's a long story! I will tell you more info once you find her."

  "Okay…… So that's the only job I should do? Or do you want me to do other things after that?"

  "I want you to do other things, but not yet. I will tell you what next step you need to do after you found Eva Lan, understand?"

  "Yes, ma'am!"

  "Alright! I'll call you or you DM me about the progress."

  After a few more words, Hailey ended the call. Now the first step has been made to search Eva Lan.

  Secondly, to expose she cheated on Vince. Once had evidence, Eva will get nothing from Vince.

  And third, the search for a perfect wife. After that? She could go back to Australia and continue her life!

  Hailey felt like she just closed a 1 Billion Contract Deals.

  "Don't worry, Mr. CEO. You will be happy soon!"

  Hailey had this smile on her face even when she arrived at the university. She was late because of the heavy traffic, but it didn't change her mood.

  But not until she takes her seat in the next class when whispers arise in the Audio Room.

  Hailey raises her brow. Is this related to her? She needs to check her phone.
