His Contractual Mistress

Chapter 134 - Cherish Her: She's The Only Woman I Ever Love

Vincent remained silent and didn't say a comment. Ever since he set foot in Dream City, he has noticed that Bryan is always in a trance and seems there's a weight on his shoulders, and he is distant to others, especially to the executives like him.

He could feel the heavy atmosphere once everyone was in the same room.

Those scenes intrigue him; however, putting his nose in someone's affair is not his character. But since Bryan is opening up to him, then he could not hide his curiosity.

Bryan pushed his lips into a thin smile as he continued babbling. "Mr. Shen, everyone knew about it. Sooner or later, you'll witness the tension between the rest of the executives and me. So there's no difference if I tell you now."

He is right. And it is better coming from the man who is the center of this issue.

He is just a few days here in Dream City, and he is already witnessing how the rest of the executive is close to each other, but when Bryan Anderson is in the group, only a few of them talk to him, and the rest is just ignoring him like he didn't exist.

"Well, I open up to you because I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation with your wife. Sitting on these stairs is a favorite spot me and my fiancé love to do during the time this palace is just being constructed."

"My fiancée and I would stay here late to watch the night sky after work. From this height, the stars seem so close." Bryan looks up and sweeps his eyes to the skyline above them.

"I see. This palace is above ground, and so the sky would look closer than anywhere in Dream City." Vince's observation.

Dream City Palace is built on a hill where the whole city could view this building as it stood majestically, located North of the city.

"I was impressed with the design. Something I want to build it myself back in Metro City." Vincent added, praising the glamorous building.

"Oh, well. This whole idea was her... Ahem." Bryan pauses and clears his throat. He almost slipped out to reveal that his fiancée is the President of Davies Group.

"This design was the president's idea with my help and the rest of the executives. So it was like an important place for everyone. And they permitted me to hold my wedding here. It was supposed to be the first wedding to celebrate in this Wedding Hall, but I messed up, and everyone is angry at me because they are all close to my fiancé. Well, you could imagine what the rest of the history is."

Vincent could play scenarios like in a drama series in his head. But his question is, where is that girl now? Did that girl also work here?

Besides, if he is not mistaken, Bryan has a girlfriend at the moment.

"The tension in the company is related to my engagement. And so, if you notice that everyone is indifferent to me, can you ignore it, Mr. Shen? Don't worry. It won't affect your work. At least, most of the executives are trying their best to be professional and set aside personal grudges."

'Hm... So his fiancée was very close to everyone. If she is just someone stranger, these men won't hold grudges toward him, and their friendship would not end. But they are all affected by the breakup? Could it be that everyone has a crush on her instead and Bryan who happens to win her heart?'

'Ah. And when did I become a love expert?' Vince scolded himself.

He gaped at Bryan, and he could see the sadness in his eyes. After he opens up to him, he isn't sure how to share a piece of his mind.

In his observations, Bryan seemed didn't get over yet with his past. So who is he to give a bit of advice to him?

He also had a big issue regarding his love life and can't solve his arranged marriage.

"Thanks for sharing." That is all he could say.

"And thanks for listening."

"Don't worry. I don't like to gossip, moreover putting my nose in someone's private life." Vince wanted to assure Bryan. Besides, he needs to create a good relationship with the executives. And getting close to Bryan Anderson is a good start to achieve that.

"Great then." Bryan gives him a warm smile. "Honestly, I'm a little jealous listening to your conversation with your wife. It reminds me of how happy I was every time I talked to my fiancée."

Vincent is not an expert in a relationship, but he could tell that Bryan still has a feeling for his ex-fiancee.

"Do you still love her?" He asked after a brief silence.

Bryan's lips curled into a bitter smile. He glanced at Vincent and replied to his question. "She's the only woman I ever love."

It made Vincent render speechlessly. Then how could he cheat on his fiancée if he loves her so much?

It is what is on his mind. But he knew it wasn't his place to ask Bryan about it.

"Bryan!"

Both Vincent and Bryan glanced at the door. Vincent stared at the man that approached them. He has never met this guy yet, and so he is a little curious as he looks upset or something. He could sense in his firm tone.

"Andre..."

"I want to talk to you. Let's go."

Vincent gaped at the man in silence. The way he talks to Bryan seems to have a hatred for him. Maybe this is related to his ex-fiancee if it's not about other matters.

"Okay. By the way, let me introduce the President of Shen Group, Vincent Shen. He is now part of the team, Andre."

Andre has just now paid attention to the man in a black suit. He heard a lot about this firm, and originally, he came to meet the President. But because of what happened earlier, it disappeared from his mind.

"Mr. Shen, I want you to meet Captain Andre Hillson. He is Chairman Davies's brother-in-law."

'Hillson? The same surname as Hailey?'

But Vince quickly shrugs his thoughts. There are a lot of Hillson in the world. It is just a coincidence.

"Nice to meet you, Captain Hillson."

"Pleasure to meet you, President Shen."

The two men shook hands. After that, Andre said goodbye, and Bryan followed him.

But before the guy took more steps, Bryan turned around and asked Vincent.

"Mr. Shen, how much do you love your wife?"

Vincent stands where his face is illuminated by the light from the chandeliers in the wedding hall.

He curved his mouth into a sweet smile and answered Bryan.

"She's the only woman I ever love."

Bryan blinks for a moment. He nodded and lifted his lips to form a thin smile.

"Good to know. Please, cherish her and be careful doing heroic deeds that will ruin your beautiful relationship."

Vincent is a little confused, but he nodded at the guy. Bryan's words are like a riddle to him. But it was coming from a person who made a mistake and regretted it.

"I am cherishing her even before I could confess to her," Vincent mumbled; even Bryan has now disappeared in his sight. "It looks like he does suffer greatly from his loss."
