Chapter 130 - His Welcome Dinner Party
The entire afternoon, Hailey had a series of meetings with her executives until evening came.
Jacob knocks on his daughter's office before he pushes the door open. He steps inside and finds Hailey signing some documents.
"Princess, everyone is already preparing for the Welcome Dinner party."
"Okay, dad," Hailey replied without looking up.
Jacob stared at his daughter. Even though she is often traveling a lot, but once she was in the company, she would work nonstop, and she is making sure to take her part as the boss of this company.
Hailey could feel her dad's eyes. She could sense that he has many questions in his mind, but he would choose not to ask but trust her.
She put down her pen and tidied her desk. She meets her dad's gaze and asks with a smile. "So, how was your meeting with President Shen?"
"It was great! I like that man!" Jacob began talking.
Hailey suppresses her lips, not widen her smile. She immersed herself in listening to her dad praising Vince endlessly.
"He is very polite. I know he is not faking it. I have been working with many youngsters in my life, and I know Vincent Shen is different. I'm just sad, though..."
There was suspense as to how it told the last sentence. Hailey studied her dad's facial expression. But she failed to read his mind.
She asked, "What's wrong, dad?"
"Nothing, honey. I'm just sad that he has a wife already."
Hailey coughs and blinks her eyes. "Ahem. And why would you feel sad, dad?"
She holds her breath and anticipates what her dad would say. It made her happy that her dad is warm to Vince. But how if he learns the truth? Would her dad treat Vince like he is now?
Jacob could feel that his daughter was watching him keenly. He averted his gaze and then reached his chin and rubbed it.
"Nah. I'm just thinking that..."
Hailey knew that his dad had something on his mind if he was making this habit of his.
"Oh, well. Never mind. It's not important." said Jacob after brief thought. He is waving his hand as a gesture of dismissing the topic. "Alright! The contract signing would start soon. I know you have to prepare."
"Yes, dad. See you later."
"See you later, Princess."
Jacob sat from the chair and headed to the door. He turned around and opened his mouth, but then he chose not to share his thoughts. From what he sees, his daughter is fine now.
'And maybe she doesn't like the idea of dating new men.' Jacob mumbled on his head while marching back to his office.
Meanwhile, Hailey prepared herself to leave the office. She took the lift and pressed the button toward the parking lot.
Her stylists are already waiting for her to do her transformation as Hailee Davies.
Hailey drove her car North and stopped at a white building. She parked her vehicle underground and rushed to the elevator.

Exactly seven-thirty in the evening, everyone has gathered in Dream City Palace.
Dream City Palace is a reception venue for special events such as Weddings. And yes, she almost got married to Bryan in this place.
They even had a wedding March rehearsal one month before their wedding. It was the time they had a photo shoot for their wedding portrait.
But their marriage is fated not to happen.
In the past, her chest has been stabbed a hundred times, seeing this place. But coming back here, it was just a memory, not worth recalling.
Moreover, she doesn't feel heartbroken coming to this place again because Vince was here.
Hailey is all set. She was inside in one of the rooms provided for their customers, changing into their wedding dress and preparing for the party.
Hailey wore a lovely dress and a wig, and a hat on her head. Although she won't show up in the reception hall, she could still watch everyone from a room upstairs.
Hailey sat down on an accent chair, keenly watching the event in the main hall.
Dream City Palace has three event halls, but the two halls are smaller than this one.
Yes. It was a wide area. It's crazy to celebrate such a contract signing to this hall, but she doesn't care. It was Vince who was involved in this celebration.
Finally, she found the architect she had been looking for a long time, the reason she was constantly traveling around the world.
Furthermore, this man captured her heart. Is this not enough reason to have the grandest celebration?
Although she's the only one who knew about this, she didn't care. She's happy to throw a welcome party for Vince as grand as this.
Besides, Shen Group receives more projects among the firms that gather here tonight.
This is a little token at the same time, a socializing moment for everyone. She invited even the ordinary workers that were working in her city.
They may not include the event in the main hall, but she makes sure that they will enjoy the food and beer at the other two halls.
It's crazy how much she spent tonight. But like what she is saying, it is her token for everyone who works harder.
She wanted everyone to get along as they all worked on the same goal; to finish her city and make it the best in the world.
May she is not joining below, but these contractors could introduce themselves to each other and share the dream they were aiming for; to contribute something remarkable in the future once her city is open to the world.
Finally, it was about time for her dad and Vince to sign the contract.
Vincent and Tim were invited to a private room upstairs. From where Hailey was seated, she could witness all the happenings in the next room.
And as she was staring at Vince, her heart has been missing him badly. She was tempted to run toward the next room and throw her arms around Vince.
However, it's not the right time to reveal her relationship with him yet.
Later on, her dad entered the room. He gestures at Vince to take a seat. After a few talks, Jacob and Vince started signing the contract with the executives and Timothy Cheng as witnesses.
Hailey didn't leave her eyes on Vince's handsome face. His expression is solemn, but it is what made him mysterious. But when the signing is done, a thin smile plays on his lips as they pose for a photo.
And soon, they will post all the happenings tonight on their Davies Group Official Website.
In the reception hall, Vincent was welcomed with loud applause and received endless congratulations.
Before dinner began, Vincent called on the stage to pose one more time for official photos as a new contractor of Davies Group.
Chairman Davies joined him, and then the Davies Group investors before the Executives also posed with Vince.
After that, finally, dinner was announced. In the middle of the merry feast, the host called Vincent and Jacob to the round table, where a wine glass arranged like a pyramid.
Vincent and Jacob opened the champagne and poured on the top glasses, and emptied the bottles until all the glass filled with the liquor.
Each of them had a glass and had toast.
It was a very wonderful occasion that she wished to stand next to Vince or Vince stand next to her.
It was in the middle of a merry celebration; Hailey was in deep thoughts when the door of that room opened. She didn't notice when someone entered and spoke behind her.
