HIS CONTRACTUAL MISTRESS

Chapter 113 - She's Back!

It was evening; Vincent is seated on a couch reviewing the contract from Davies Group while Tim is making a simple dinner for them, which the guy checked his phone frequently to reply to a message.

"Timothy Cheng! I could hear every time your phone vibrates on the table." Vincent's scold.

Tim turned his head, and he awkwardly smiled at his boss. But he reasons out, "Boss, I am following Miss Hailey's instructions to make your favorite beef teriyaki."

Vince raised his head and watched Tim's back. He put down the folder on the table and stood from the couch.

Tim looked at his boss with worry. Beads of sweat form on his forehead, not from cooking but from fearing that his boss would get mad at him. 'What's wrong with him now!?'

Tim remained silent, watching his boss picks up his phone and casually browsing his WhatsApp and reads the messages he exchanges with Hailey. Afterward, his boss frowned.

Vince glared at Tim, then withdrew his gaze to read the messages once again. And he admitted. He is jealous that Hailey is busily texting Tim more than him.

Anyway, he was exchanging messages with Hailey a while ago. But when he told her that he was reviewing the contract, Hailey said they would talk again later. He knew that she is only considerate of him. But still, he's jealous.

Vince puts back Tim's phone on the table and says no words. He went back to the couch, resumed reading the contract.

Tim sighed with relief. His boss is acting weirder since he falls in love. But why is he behaving like he was jealous of him?

'His girlfriends only worried about him!' thought Tim and continue cooking.

Meanwhile, Vince was already bothered because of his jealousy. He could not concentrate anymore, and so, he stopped reading.

He sat up from the couch, then strides toward the veranda to opened the sliding door and breath some fresh air.

From there, Vince scans the night skyline. It was clear, and he could see more stars above. He was living in the city his whole life, and so he could only see a night sky full of stars when going to the provinces, or he visited his cousins on the island. And it's one thing why he loves to sail out to the sea.

But tonight, he misses Hailey badly. He wishes to watch these stars with her as he knew that Hailey had a great view of the night sky from the island.

Vince dialed Hailey's mobile number. He waited for the call to connect and a sound of waves he heard in the background.

"Hey! Have you eaten already?" Asked Hailey as she wondered why Vince was calling her when she knew Tim is currently making dinner while he is reading the contract. "What's the matter?"

"Nothing. I just missed you so bad." He groaned and heaved a sigh of frustration. "I want to see you soon."

Hailey presses her eyelids, pushing back the tears that are forming on the corner of her eyes. She misses Vince too, even if it's just a day had passed.

"We'll see each other after your visit there. I'll be waiting." She said sincerely. Although she is tempted to tell Vince the truth, she had a few things to settle first, including his divorce.

How could she introduce him to her dad when he is married to someone? Besides, that someone is Bryan's girlfriend.

Right now, she wanted everyone to focus on the development of the city rather than be distracted by private and personal issues.

"Okay. I will go back to P Country as soon as I determine all the projects I have to work on," said Vince on the other line. Soon, his frustrating voice was replaced with joy. "This afternoon, Mr. Wilson initially explained to me about my projects. And it shocked me! They give me the East part of the city to develop. It means my work here will take years!"
