His Contractual Mistress

Chapter 184 - What It Takes To Be With Hailee Davies

"What happens in Las Vegas?" asked Gigi.

"I don't want to think of any conclusions yet. But my perception is telling me something, and I don't like it," she replied. "Something happens in one of Vince's investments, so he needs to fly to Nevada. Someone bombed the Hotel and Casino he redesigned and constructed a year ago."

"Oh! That isn't good! Are there any casualties?" Gigi waited for her to answer, and she nodded as a response. "Is Vincent going to help with the investigation or just being there as the architect?"

"I think both," she guessed.

Somehow she had known Vince a lot now. He definitely won't leave his friend to face this crisis alone. And while Vince helps to resolve the problems he faces right now, this is the best opportunity to do her plans of settling things between her and Liam.

"Alright. Now, how are you going to answer all those questions? Everyone in Entertainment, from Business World and Royals, was asking you the same question. Who is this guy?" Gigi queried afterward.

"Yeah. I began reflecting on my post. The media and press will dig everything to know who my boyfriend is. The business world will be interested as well. Anyway, I have no more say as Forbes Asia recognizes Vince as one of the youngest CEOs in the world that succeeded since stepping in, but the Royals..." she looked at Gigi with worry.

"They will call Vince a commoner." Gigi finished her sentence. She added, "And it will be more of an issue to them because Vince is still married. When will they know about this?"

"That's another problem of mine. But I don't care. They don't need to attend my wedding if they are against me marrying a commoner. I don't know how many greats I should mention, but my grandfather's great-great-grandfather fought for the commoner he loves. He chooses love over the throne."

"That is a wonderful love story. But I'm sure of one thing, even without your wealth, Vince can feed you."

"And I can wear cheap clothes," she says.

Gigi glared at her. "Do you think Vincent would allow you to buy cheap clothes? Isn't he willing to work hard to give you a good life?"

"I know he will work hard. Right now, he's not only working for me, but he also had other projects, his old clients, and his other businesses he had to take care of at the same time. But..."

"But? Why do you think Vincent couldn't afford you?"

"That's the point in there! We have to talk about our wedding plans!" she exclaimed. Hailey rolled on the sofa, then covered her face with a pillow.

"Hmm... It will be the wedding of the century. I am sure of that. So what did you worry about?" Gigi asked.

"Gigi, after our wedding, I might make Vince poor," she told Gigi worriedly.

Hailey waited for her reaction, but it seems like she had no idea what she was talking about.

"Gigi, it's not just our friends and family I must invite. It includes our business partners, delegates from every country, the Royal families I am friends with and name them! My royal relatives! Not only that, the Lords in every country! I'm going to empty Vince's pocket!" she shrieked. It made Gigi laugh hard. She frowned.

"Now I can understand what you are talking about, Princess. Dream City Palace is already perfect for your wedding. But, everything in your wedding would cost Vincent billions because of your guests!"

"I could imagine Vince working his ass hard to earn again for what he'd spent for us to get back on track."

"But I'm sure your dad would help with the expenses." She tries her best to console and encourage this princess.

But she would have endless worries. "How would Vince accept that? I'm not sure if he'll lose his pride."

"It will hurt his ego," Gigi quoted.

"Yeah. Even though the Lopez family will help Vince with the expenses, still..." Hailey hurls a long breath. "What if we will only have a secret wedding and donate our supposed expenses to charities?"

Gigi gaped at her for a long moment. She shook her head afterward then said, "I don't think your dad would agree, nor Vince."

"I have to convince him then." She mouthed helplessly.

Gigi shrieked. "I'm sure your dad would love to see you walking in the aisle wearing your wedding dress!"

"I'm just practical." She asserted.

"Stop! Vincent surely wants to take you in front of an altar! It would be best if you had a long talk with him first. I'm sure he has his different thoughts for your wedding. As you said, he's been in love with you for many years already! Then he will go to throw whatever amount as long as he could tie you down to him in a special way, such as spending billions on your wedding."

"Well, he says he will give me a grand wedding after Eva signs the divorce agreement. Anyway, I have my money. I will convince him I will contribute with the expenses; probably, I will pay half of everything."

"Stop! Don't be ridiculous!" Gigi reached for her head and knocked on it.

"Vince hasn't realized yet what it takes to be with Hailee Davies," she mumbled.

"Then you must consult him about his plans. You both need to talk about it thoroughly." Gigi suggested.

"Yeah, we need a heart-to-heart talk to discuss this matter." She concurred. She went on, "I can't wait to build a family with him. Plan our first house as married. Making love for me to bear our first child and how many kids we should have."

Hailey said it dreamily, and Gigi could see how she's madly in love. She's never like this when she's about to marry Bryan, nor showing interest when Liam makes his promises to her. She's just ecstatic when it comes to Vince.

"Then why are you worried about it? How many mansions and villas do you have? Yeah, owned by your dad, but who will inherit them? What businesses Vince had? Even if you both spend so much on your wedding, it won't affect anything when you start life as a married couple. I'm sure your dad would not just stand in the corner. You're the only child of Lord Jacob Davies!"

"Yeah. I know dad won't be. And before I worry about all of this, I should worry first about setting up a meeting for dad and Vince. Anyway, according to Kris, dad likes Vince. But of course, it's different after I introduce him as my boyfriend."

"And Vince divorced," Gigi echoed.

"Yes, above all. That should be first. Well, I'm only waiting for Vince to come back, then we fly back to Australia together. Eva finally would sign the divorce agreement. I don't understand why she has to make things hard for her and Vince when she is in love with Bryan."

"But you have your suspicion, right?" Gigi inquiry.

"Yes. And I need to make a phone call now before I forget about it." She told Gigi while tapping on her phone to search for a name on her contacts.

Later, Gigi dropped her mouth while listening to her. She gives her a questioning stare, but Hailey only makes a lazy motion.

"Hello, Bryan?"
