His Contractual Mistress

Chapter 106 - She Is Pregnant



DREAM CITY, AUSTRALIA 

Vincent traveled his gaze throughout the DC International Airport, which is not open to the public yet, but exclusive to everyone who works for Dream City.

Vince puts on black sunglasses and fixes his coat before he descends from the plane. His eyes fixed on the car that is waiting for them. 

It was not just an ordinary car, but a sports car.

"Welcome to Dream City, Mr. Shen!" Greeted by a man in a blue suit. Next, he introduces himself. "James White at your service!"

"Pleased to meet you, Mr. White." Vince extended his arm and did a handshake with James.

"James, you don't need to be so formal since we are going to work together," said James. He gives Vincent a friendly smile.

"Ah, then call me Vincent. And this is my assistant, Timothy Cheng."

James and Tim shake hands. After then, James gestures at them to ride the car.

"Let's go. I will escort you toward Davies Group to meet everyone. Someone will bring your luggage to the Apartment you are all going to stay here in Dream City."

"I see. Thank you."

"Nah. Don't mention it. Each of us is also living around here, but sometimes we are going home to our houses. So we are neighbors. If anything you need, you can call the HR or directly to us."

"Ahem! Do you mean, even to your boss?" asked Tim. Now he could feel his boss' burning glare at him. He turned his head sideways and smiled awkwardly at Vincent.

"Well, except for our boss!" said James.

It didn't take long, and they arrived at Davies Group, D.C. Headquarters. James led to the door. He waves at the men talking in the lobby.

Vincent carefully scanned the four men in a tailored suit. They were all tall, and if a girl asked, she would say, handsome men.

It's just that the boss of this company is a woman. He didn't expect that her executives are all handsome men, not to mention James White himself.

"Boss, are we having a fashion show?" Tim whispered to him.

Vincent held not to let a laugh, as that would be awkward if he did that. But he didn't expect that Tim would have this realization as well.

"Shut up, Tim." he scolded his assistant. This nosy guy is often noisy. Vincent thought.

"Everyone, this is Vincent Shen from SHEN GROUP." James introduces Vince.

"Welcome to Dream City, Mr. Shen! Trevor Johansson from the Finance Department." (Trevor's mom dreaming for Hailey to be her daughter-in-law.)

"Pleased to meet you, Mr. Johansson," said Vince, shaking hands with Trevor.

"Josh Lynch from the Marketing Department."

Vince nodded at Josh and shook hands. "Nice meeting you, Mr. Lynch."

"Welcome, Mr. Shen! Geoffrey Wilson, Planning Department Head at the same time COO of Davies Group." (Geoffrey has a crush on Hailey. His mom keeps nagging him to court Hailey.)

"Ah, Mr. Wilson. Pleased to meet you, finally." Vince said with delight. It was Geoffrey, who he often talked to over the phone and discussed his projects.

And last, Vince's eyes turn to the fourth man in a tailored suit. He is the less quiet among the men; he noticed it. And he seemed in deep thought.

The guy lifted his gaze and smiled at him. He said,

"We are happy to have you here, Mr. Shen... Bryan Anderson. Vice President of Davies Group. I'll be touring you around the site."

"Thank you, Mr. Anderson. I'm pleased to meet you," said Vince. And they shook hands.

Bryan uttered, "The pleasure is mine, Mr. Shen. Let's go. I will show you the East part of the City."

Vince nodded at the four men and then followed Bryan. Somehow, he felt a little at ease, like a tension between the five men. Or it's just his imagination?

This is probably how Bryan Anderson quickly left after introducing himself, not glancing at the other men.

Vincent and Tim shared a glance when the sports car had only two seats. Vince was about to tell Tim to wait here when Bryan spoke.

"Mr. Shen, the company provides you with that black car as your transport during your stay here in Australia."

Tim widened his eyes. It's not just a sports car; it was a race car! These men sure knew how to live in luxury! Although he is already used to the life of his boss, Tim still was astounded. All he saw parked outside the company are all fast cars.

Good-looking men and nice cars; only mean one thing. These men have beautiful girlfriends!

"Timothy Cheng!"

"Huh?" Tim came back to his senses after his boss shouted at him.

"What gotten to you?"

"Ah! Sorry, boss! Something came to me so suddenly." Tim lame excuse. He is laughing awkwardly. His boss furrowed his brows. It means he was absent-minded for a little longer. "What is it, boss?"

"Mr. Anderson asked me to join him in his car to explain things while we toured around. Here's the key to that car. Follow us."

Time widened his eyes. He took the car keys with full enthusiasm, happily rushing toward the black car.

Vincent shook his head, then turned around. He strode toward the waiting silver car and slid in the passenger seat.

After he settled in the car, Bryan drove the vehicle.

"Mr. Shen, since our boss wishes to finish the city in a couple of years, I would not delay giving you your project," Bryan began. "As Mr. Wilson informed you, our boss wanted to build the tallest tower in the Eastern part of the city."

"But it won't be just that, Mr. Shen. Our boss is assigning the Shen Group to work the whole Eastern part of the City."

"The whole Eastern part of the City?" Vince could only repeat the last seven words Bryan said to him. He never imagined that his project is bigger than his dream! It still hard to believe it!

"Yes, Mr. Shen... Geoffrey will explain to you later. Right now, I will show you the site so that you will know the project assigned to you."

"Okay." WOW! Vince tried to calm down. Dream City is not just a small city. It will be a luxurious city in the world! And among the city projects, he was sure that his project is the most special.

To bet on the tallest building? That was already a huge project! Then how much is the Davies Group funding the Shen Group?

Vince was about to ask Bryan something. But his phone keeps ringing. He asked, "Won't you answer it?"

Bryan glanced in his direction. He smiled timidly, then pulled over the car on the roadside. He took out his phone from the pocket of his pants and swiped the green button.

"What do you want?" he asked the person on the other line in a haughty tone.

That person bites her lower lip before she answered, "Please, I didn't call to fight."

"Then, what do you want?"

Eva pursed her lips with rage. Bryan is still cold toward her. Whatever she did in these passing days, Bryan remains mean to her!

"Please, visits me here in Sydney," Eva pleaded, Bryan.

"You're in Sydney? What are you doing here in Australia!?" Bryan was absolutely shocked. He doesn't want Eva to come to Australia because his mom doesn't want to meet her. Now he ignores his warning.

Bryan pursed his lips. It tempted him to curse, but it's inappropriate to show such behavior in front of their guest.

He calms himself, breathing in and releasing it carefully. He told Eva, "Okay. Let us talk some other time. I am busy."

"Bryan, please! I want to talk to you tonight!" Eva insisted. There is no way she would stop.

"I can't, Eva," he refused. But he heard Eva begin crying on the other line. Bryan frowned. He is sick hearing her acting like this. However, he could not yell at Eva because of their guest.

"Please, daddy..." Eva pauses for a brief moment. "Bryan, I'm pregnant."

"What!?" 

Vince turned his head in Bryan's direction. He is trying hard not to listen to his conversation with someone on the phone. But the longer they were talking, the more it irritated he become. Now it intrigued him who that person is.
