HIS CONTRACTUAL MISTRESS

Chapter 42:He Has A Thick Face

After Hailey brought Vince light snacks in the study, she went to her bedroom and took a shower.

Under the running water, she could not stop thinking of what excuse she will give to everyone why she has to ignore their calls and messages.

Hailey put on her pajamas and dried her hair.

She gets off her room and headed outside.

She was now at the pool area eating her salad while debating within herself.

Restless, Hailey sat up; pacing around the pool area.

She halted near a pine tree and watched the city lights that dazzle her eyes. She could see the heavy traffic is still going on.

Seriously, those flyovers need to finish soon to lighten up this problem.

She learned that it was supposed to be Vince's projects but another builder company wins the bid. But then several issues she heard about this company that delays the completion of the said project.

And after Vince lose on the bidding, he was more focused on building tall skyscrapers, such as space buildings for lease, penthouses, and condos.

Hailey heaves a long sigh. She shook her head and prepares herself to turn off the airplane mode on her phone.

And she was right! She almost passed out to receive hundreds of messages from the boys, including Kelly. They also contacted her. Not only that, countless voicemails keep coming in.

She tried to read everyone's messages, but it was too much. Hailey could not finish it in just a short time.

At the moment, she didn't know who first to reply. But she must call her dad before anyone else. Hailey heard a sigh of relief after the call connected.

"Hailey! My goodness! Why did you turn off your phone?"

"I'm sorry, daddy!" she apologized. Hailey's heart is breaking at the moment. She is missing her dad badly.

"Princess... Do you know how worried I am that I can't reach you every day? What is going on?"

"I am very sorry about that, Dad. I'm working on something lately."

"What is it?"

"Okay... But please, come back home."

'I want to, dad! But I signed a contract, and you will have a heart attack once you knew I was living with a man and acted as his mistress!'

Heaving a sigh inwardly, she was careful not to let her dad hear it. She uttered, "I'll come home soon, Dad."

"When is it, Princess? Everyone is worried about you!"

"I didn't mean to make you guys worry."

"We don't want you to feel sad or think that you are alone. We are all here for you!"

Hailey pushed a thin smile across her beautiful face. Everyone still thinks that she was heartbroken until now.

"Don't worry, Dad. I am long over about Bryan. Everything I am doing now has nothing to do with him or in the past." 'I only wish for the future.' Hailey wanted to add this, but she kept it to herself.

But what will be her future? She cannot look past through yet when she has to focus on her dream project.

"Anyway, Andre is here for a vacation. He wanted to talk to you," said Jacob Davies.

"Okay, dad!"

Not long, Hailey heard the voice she was missing all this time. She held her tears from welling up.
