She pulled out her phone from her bag and texted Nadia, a friend she made here in Metro City after renting an apartment. They became neighbors before moving in at Vince's penthouse, but they were also classmates in her other subjects. "Hey, is there new gossip about me?" she texted Nadia. Later Nadia sent a screenshot, and the post accused her as a home-wrecker. She scoffed. She knew it was Zenaida behind this rumor. Hailey searches the OP to leave a comment. "For the person behind this post? I…-

Outside the SHEN GROUP building, Vince pulled up the door for Hailey to get inside her car. "Thanks…" Blushed, she thanked Vince. She knows this is part of their act, but lately, she couldn't control her heart to flutter from his gestures. Her chest-beating crazily like she will have a heart seizure at any moment. Hailey thought Vince would leave now. But he remained leaning on the car. 'What is he doing?' The way Vince acted lately left a concern in her chest. "All right. If you came across…

'Sigh. Look at this CEO. He tricked me, so I would appear at his company. On the record, it's the first time I came here.'

Suddenly, he will call her out when he feels like doing an act in front of his friends, family, and now his employees. But Vince once said he hates chasing a woman.

'Bi…tch I own a car that costs double of this one. You might pass out if you know that.' But of course, she isn't here to reveal herself but let them continue to believe she is a hoe, making her way to seduce someone like Vincent Shen. The more they believe, the more the game is fun. Hailey's mouth pushed an amusing smirk from thinking about it. It was new to her, so she enjoyed the slanders and gossip thrown at her. But sometimes, she was too lazy to deal with those women, so she just ignored…

Monday Hailey was in the Entryway, putting on her brown Vegan high heel shoes when her phone rang a particular song. In her contacts, she assigns a song to determine if the caller is her friends, teachers, or just a random person. And the song playing at the moment is assigned for Vince. She instantly opens her Gucci black backpack and takes out her phone to answer the call. "Hello?" "Hi! Are you still home?" Hailey could sense an anxious tone in Vince's voice. She wonders if something…

Evening... An enticing aroma filled the house, a Calamari soothing on Vince's nostril. The scent was only faint but still caught by his nose. Ever since he brought her to the penthouse, he became sensitive to the food she was preparing for him. Lately, he realized he has been looking forward to having a meal with her world-class dishes, prepared exclusively for him. Reaching his chin, Vince mused. 'What other things she is good at aside from cooking?' Unable to find an answer, Vince got up from…

Continuing the conversation, Carl added. "Auntie, we are men. It's normal for us to search for someone to cuddle with. Right, uncle?" Dramatically widens his eyes; it stupefied Fred why his bastard nephew dragged him with his ridiculous viewpoint. Furiously, he blurts out. "And why are you asking me? That has nothing to do with me!" Fred glanced at his wife, whose eyeballs wanted to pop out from her face. His poor wife now receives a cold shoulder. "And why are you looking at me like that?" he snaps…

Hilda Shen clears her throat as she begins. "You already know why I invited you for a private talk." Showing no emotion, Hilda once again picks up the teacup and sips her tea. Hailey, who remained lowering her gaze, nodded. "I won't take this long. How much do you want?" asked Hilda. Hearing this, Hailey lifted her chin and pursed a sweet smile. She said, "Madame Shen, I'm sorry. But I don't understand what you were asking me about." She sounded innocent, but clearly, her tone was sarcastic.…

The following day, Hailey working up early since Vince was staying in the penthouse. At the moment, she was in front of the electric cooking top to make breakfast for them. Her class today starts at nine o'clock. She has plenty of time before she goes to university, where she is taking the Hotel and Restaurant Management classes. In Vince's case, he always left for work every 7:30 in the morning. Since his company is just fifteen to twenty minutes away, it depends on the traffic situation. Still,…

Hailey continued praying that Vince would now go to his bedroom, so then she could go to hers to change into appropriate clothing. Squirming in the kitchen, Vince seems to have to guess she is uncomfortable around him. He stood on his feet and carried his suitcase. "I'm going to the Study room to read some reports." "Okay." Hailey nodded and secretly glanced at his broad retreating back. Hailey heaves a sigh of relief. 'Finally, he's gone.' She mumbled. Now she can go back to her bedroom.…
