Hailey followed Mrs. Flores inside her unit. It was spacious. The penthouse is only one floor and two-bedroom, enough space for the kitchen next to the living room. And in the middle of her garden is a small fountain surrounded by both imported and local plants that bloom breathtakingly. Mrs. Flores also has hanging plants around the ceiling of her penthouse. And on the terrace, in which Vince makes sure it was spacious enough to place a small garden for the tenants, it has a coffee table and two…-

Inside the car, Hailey was nervous. She freaked out for a moment after she told Vince she was blushing. What would he think of her now? Ah. That was embarrassing, Hailey! She could not stop scolding herself. Anyway, who will go to the hospital just because she was flushing red? That was hilarious, you know. But it touched her how Vince being concerned about her. And she didn't want to put a meaning on it. 'Stop thinking too much, Hailey.' She reminded herself. Hailey froze when the driver's…

Walking next to Vince, Hailey was still in a trance. What she hopes in these passing months is progress that he will find Eva. She believes it would be easy for him to search for her with the wealth and connection he had. The longer she stayed by his side is harder for her to leave him. And with everything he is showing to her now, the deeper she found herself gotten used to his attention. She truly signs an agreement that she must not fall in love during the time they were acting. She agreed…

"Hi! Good evening!" Hailey cheerfully greeted the fish vendors. They are gleefully attending to her, and soon, their attention shifts to the man halted next to her. Hailey tried to ignore his presence, but everyone started a conversation with him. Of course, they all know about him. His family is famous in the entire country not only because of SHEN GROUP but because of his mother's family. But in later years, Vincent's name gained popularity after he built plenty of infrastructure projects in the…

"Dad, what are you doing here?" Vince repeated his question. Fred suddenly turned timid in front of his son, and it's because of his bastard nephew, Carl. He coughs to clear his throat; he replied Vince. "I have some business needed to take care of around here. I asked Carl to accompany me. Then we stop by at your penthouse to check out the place. We might stay there once in a while." "I see. Carl mentioned it to me. Anyway, I'm glad that I've seen you this evening. Please, watch my yacht if Carl…

"Just across you. I'm hungry... Please???" The person on the other line is growling like a bear, and it irritates Vince. "Alright. We just finished eating and about to leave. There's a lot of food left." Frowning, Vince told the person on the other line. He wanted to end the call as soon as possible. "I'm hanging up now." Vince didn't wait for the other person to reply. He already ended the call before Hailey came back. In the washroom, Hailey already washed her hand and relieved herself by…

Raising her heart rate, Hailey is bathing with cold sweat. Vince is waiting for an answer. She looked up at him and smiled. "It's not important. It was my classmate. Probably he wanted to apologize again regarding what happened earlier. I will just talk to him tomorrow at school," she explained. Hailey ignored Vince's suspicious stare. She picked up her fork and began stuffing her mouth when her phone is vibrating again. And once again, it was Bryan. "Do you want me to talk to him instead?" It…

Hailey immersed herself in eating the crab, setting aside her uncertainties and worries, which she should not make important at all. She came to this country for her Life Project, not a LOVE project. She must not let herself be bothered every time her heart is acting strange. Because once everything is over, it will only be bittersweet memories. Hailey was in deep thoughts, and her silence is apparent to Vince. She was focused on burying her feelings; she fails to notice that Vince is watching her…

Vince held her hand; Hailey could not hide when her cheeks flush pink. Sure it hurts her knuckles after she punched Howie's thick face, but to her surprise, Vince was very concerned about it. Maybe, for Vince, hands are one of the most precious parts of the body. Even before, she didn't see Vince punch a man yet. "What I told you before? Just tell me if someone bothered you, and I will deal with them myself," said Vince with a soft tone in his voice. Hailey stared at him with marvel. She often…

Geoffrey remains silent for a moment. He would like to assume that Hailey must be joking. "Are you sure about this, Hail? We granted them the Pearl Hotel project, and we added the three skyscrapers across the South Sector. They already submitted their designs, and all it needs is for you and Chairman Davies to approve it and discuss what changes you would like." "No need now that I changed my mind." It baffled him. He knew Hailey very well. For him, impossible, for she would joke around with her…
