Chapter 336 - Another Project
In the following days, Hailee's PR Team arrived in Metro City to work on the Documentary interview about her and Vincent.
James Ryan, CEO of Mainland City Broadcasting Company owned by Crow Corporation, was also in the country to personally discuss the documentary filming with Hailee and Vincent's PR Team.
Jacob agreed to do a short film and give the total authorization to cover all the preparation for Hailee and Vincent's "Wedding of the Millenium"? assigned to Jessa Lopez Schwartz.
It will make the couple feel at ease as Jessa was very close to Vincent. She knew many things about him, so she had all these ideas of what she should only tell the world.
After Hilda's grand birthday party became the talk of the entire world, she was busy organizing everything in the Shen Mansion.
Jessa will first film the House Tour, which will feature Hilda in the Documentary to show around the mansion. That is why all the servants were busy cleaning the entire place, and even the landscaper was busy cutting the grass and trees in the garden.
And while everyone was busy preparing for the documentary, Hailee and Vincent continued working..
Vincent showed Sheena around to all businesses he owned, while Fred taught Deana how to manage the Shen Group. And since it was a big task for his sisters, Vincent hired Jake Velasco to help organize its international affairs.
Jake was shocked, but Vincent fully trusted his best friend. He had to resign from his work in New York and came back to live in Metro City; however, he would still often go on business trips abroad.
"Bro, are you really sure to appoint me with this position? Maybe you are running a fever? Or aren't you sober up yet?"
Lloyd Khan smacks Jake on the back. "You were the one who looked like you were still drunk from the party, and maybe I should beat you up again for you to wake up."
Jake frowned when Lloyd reminded him of what stupidity he did at the party. "I apologized already."
Lloyd glared at Jake, then threatened the guy. "Try to kidnap Hazel again. I will put you in a drum with a lot of holes, then dump you in the South Bay!"
"Brother, I promised I would behave from here on." Jake kneeled in front of Lloyd, and he was also tugging the sleeves of his coat.
"Stop doing that, a**hole!"
Vincent shook his head and chuckled, letting his friends banter like little kids. They were at M Resort having a lunch meeting. He misses his wife; he pulled out his phone from his coat and texted Hailee.
"Wifey, have you done having lunch?"
"Hmm… But I haven't had my dessert yet."
Vincent dropped his jaw. Hailee sent a picture of a bowl of raspberry. 'Dammit.'
Hailee is teasing him again. It seems like she wants him not to forget the night; he lost control of himself and made love with her despite the danger it will cause to Hailee's pregnancy.
"Wifey…" Vincent sent a lot of crying emoticons. 'Spare me for once!'
Hailee giggled uncontrollably. Her company was looking at her with amazement.
She has never been this distracted during a meeting; even those who texted her were Bryan, Geoffrey, or Andre. But now, she was acting like a teenager who had her first boyfriend.
But to think about that, Vincent is her first boyfriend, soon her official husband.
Hailee was having a lunch meeting with Vera, Daisy, Hazel, and the Davies Cosmetics PR team for Hazel's debut soon. After a few more texts, she finally placed down her phone.
"Alright. Let's resume." She gestures her hand for the PR team to continue sharing their ideas.
After two hours, the meeting finally ended. Hazel will have a photoshoot for the new products that she is going to endorse. Since Hailee is busy with her wedding, she has other things to do, filming her and Vincent's life story.
"Hail, Jessa's production team is asking for a schedule of a meeting with you. They wanted to discuss the title of this documentary film."
"I see. Thank you, Tina."
"Do you want to call a break first?" asked Tina Larsson, Hailee's assistant. Hailee had another meeting, and this time, it will be with DV Inc. Asia Branch executives.
Hailee picked her teacup and took a sip. "Yes. I'm going to take a walk."
Hailee strolled around the garden, and Tina followed her to give her reports about some matters with all of her companies.
"Tina, what was the gossip regarding Vincent taking the CEO position in Davies Corporation soon?" Hailee asked Tina after her reports.
Tina was silent for a moment, and she was contemplating how she put everything into the proper words.
"I know the majority is against it. And so you need not hold back, Tina. Just spill the beans."
"Ahem. Miss, many words are circulating in the company that they will cause trouble once Mr. Shen works in Davies Corporation."
"Aren't they all stupid?"
Tina was surprised. This is the first time she has heard Hailee speak harshly. Hailee is always a soft-spoken person, but seeing her anger is new to her. Hailee is the person who chooses to stay calm.
But in her observation, Hailee is just overprotected to Vincent. She and Hailee were classmates since middle school, and she witnessed how everyone only pampered Hailee.
She was like a fragile princess who only lived with everyone's protection. But by what she is seeing, she is an entirely different person.
"Tina, tell them to keep an eye on everyone who talks trash about Vincent. Especially to those who encourage other employees to arise once Vincent takes the CEO position."
"Note, Miss Hailee."

That evening, Vincent found Hailee in his study room. She was seated behind his desk, immersed in what she was working on at the moment.
He remained at the door, leaning on it to watch Hailee working diligently in front of her laptop. Later on, she finally lifted her head after she felt a burning stare on her face.
"You're back!" She instantly stood from the leather armchair and met him halfway.
"Yes," Vincent replied, with a gentle smile on his lips.
He opened his arms wide and snuggled Hailee while kissing her longingly. After the long kiss, Vincent brought Hailee to the love seat, and both sat down.
"How was your day?"
"It was tiring, but it felt great! At least I would not feel bored," she replied happily.
Vincent combed her hair with his fingers. He leaned over to kiss her forehead. "I'm glad to hear that. But you were still working until now."
Hailee broadened her smile. She parted from Vince's embrace and got up. "I will get my laptop."
"Wait... Let me get it for you." Vince stopped her before he could even get up. "Just sit here."
Vince came back with her laptop, and Hailee flipped the keyboard and showed the screen to Vincent.
"I have a new project for Dream City, and I want you to be the one who makes the selection."
"Selection?" Vince was confused.
"Yes. I will post an announcement soon. So I am drafting my ideas to consult my executives one of these days after I complete the plans. And I want you to handle the decision-making of this project."
"Wifey, are you sure about this?" Vincent got worried if he was the right person.
The head of the Planning Department is Geoffrey. The guy was the new CEO of Davies Group, and Geoffrey had more rights to do anything regarding Dream City projects.
He may be the next CEO of Davies Corporation. Still, Dream City is completely under Geoffrey's management. He was only the contractor at the end of the day, and his wife was his boss.
Then, he has no choice, does he?
"Alright, Wifey. What should I do?"
Hailee could see that Vincent was worried, and she knew he was already under pressure with his new role as her husband and Jacob Davies' son-in-law.
Moreover, a big responsibility was placed on his shoulder, not only the entire Oceania Continent watching him but also the entire world.
"Hubby, I want to build the widest amusement park in the entire world. And as this will be like a playground for our children, I want you to oversee this project. However, the bidding will only be open to the other firm. But as the father of this city, it was your job to make sure that all the rides are safe for the children."
Vincent was surprised at first, but he understands now. Hailee is right, and he could not hide how proud he was of this girl. Her maternal instinct started functioning on her.
And the idea of having an amusement park in the city is too brilliant. Finally, he agreed as he had, and he had no more reason to decline.
"Okay. I will accept this task. Thank you for trusting me."
"Of course I do!" Hailee smacks a kiss on his lips.
"Is that all?" He complains. "I should have a huge compensation."
Hailee curled her lips playfully as her fingers also played with his tie. "Hmm… Maybe some..."
Vince swallowed after Hailee trailed her last words. She whispered in his ear and looked at him seductively.
'Ugh. She is sending me to hell! Buddy… behave.' Vince heaves a long helpless sigh.
