Chapter 23:Hasn't Pregnant Yet?

Hailey's POV

"N University!" With a sweet smile, Hailey told the taxi driver the moment she entered the vehicle.

Since it was still early morning, they did not encounter traffic on the road, and she arrived at school within less than twenty minutes.

She already notified Nadia and Liza that she was now outside at the University getting off from a cab.

The two girls already reserved her a seat. She quickly got on the bus the moment she arrived in the assembly area. Mrs. Gomez gestured her hand at her when she was walking toward the proof to register her attendance.

She was running, thinking she only had five minutes left! Hailey heaves a sigh of relief after she sits in her seat.

"Do you need to cook for him?" asked Liza. "He has billions to pay for his lunch even to the most expensive restaurant in the country!"

Hailey explained why she's late, but her friends react this way afterward. She smiled sweetly as a response, pondering that it might be true to what Liza remarked.

But if she's the one to ask, she would always prefer homemade food.

One of many reasons she learned how to cook is for her future family. She would love to prepare their favorite food like her grandma.

The old woman is a wonderful cook and always prepares her favorite dishes. During an event or occasion in the mansion, her grandma makes one or two menus, even if their chefs are all top masters. And everyone loves it, especially her. Ah… now she missed her grandma.

Hailey didn't share her thoughts as her friends had no idea of her real status in life since she lives an ordinary life in this city. However, not until she signed the contract with Vince.

Ah! Hailey shook her head. Lately, whatever she's doing, it always has this phrase, 'Ever since she signed the contract!'

She never imagined it would be a big controversy after she accompanied Vince to some business engagements. Of course, she already knew that Vince is married. One thing why she let him near her… Vince is Eva's husband.

Heaving a silent sigh, Hailey pursed a smile as she replied to her friends. "I want to make sure he will remember to eat. He is busier lately."

"Oh, right! I heard from my cousin. The SHEN GROUP is aiming to win an International project!" Someone cut in.

"Hazel? What are you doing here? You're not part of this field training?"

It surprised Nadia and Liza when Hazel appeared in front of them. They did not recognize her seated nearby because of her disguise.

"Jeez. So boring in my Math class. I rather wake up early and have fun!" she replied to her friends, taking off the hat she wore and black coat.

"We will not play golf or have a party in M Resort." Liza mouthed at her.

"Yeah, I know! But if I didn't convince Mrs. Gomez, I would miss your gossip!"

"Jeez. Are you planning to fail your Math?" Nadia commented, rolling her eyes.

Hazel smiled sweetly. Her eyes flickered while placing her arms around Nadia's shoulder. "You will help me pass, so I don't worry."

Stupefied, Nadia gaped at Hazel. "What am I? Your Math prof to mark perfect on your grades?"

"You will accompany me to study before the exams!" Hazel had this huge smile on her face. Before Nadia could react, she added. "Your favorite brand will release a new product next week. I already purchased a set for you!"

Hazel wink at Nadia, who now tears a grin across her face.

"When should I come over to your house for a sleepover?"

"Hmm…" Hazel tilted her head on the side, pondering her engagements in the next few days. "You can come over by Saturday afternoon as the party is Friday evening. I will have my beauty sleep till noon!"

"Alright! Got it!" Nadia cheered happily.

Liza shakes her head listening to the conversation, while Hailey is amused watching how her friends interact with each other. These two really get along well, despite their differences of attitude. She does like her new friends. Each of them has a unique character, which what brought them together is the same passion that they all love to do.

Classes have just started in August. The school already has charity activities and looking for new volunteers since senior students have graduated. She signed up, and it was where she met Hazel, who's the one assigned to receive new volunteers. And since Nadia is her neighbor, the girl always accompanied her anywhere, and both joined.

Liza also signed up for the said activity. And Hailey later realizes that Liza is her classmate in most of her classes.

By now, even outside school, they are active in a Non-government Charity works as volunteers that Hazel's family founded a long time ago. It is where their friendship blooms and solidifies.

"Anyway, back to where we left. I believe it's part of why Vince fell in love with you."

"Huh?" Hailey blinks a few times, trying to process Hazel's comments. "How can you say that?" We're only faking our relationship! She screamed inwardly. There's no way she would tell her friends about it.

Hazel pointed out, "Men are prouder to be pampered by their queen. And cook for him, it will make him feel love and special."

Finally, the two school buses left N University and headed to M Resort Club.

The girls continue chatting further. Hailey was drinking water from her bottled water when Hazel asked. Every head of that bus turned in their direction. The four of them were seated at the back of the bus. And they were loud enough to be heard almost by the rest of their classmates. Hazel was sitting next to Hailey while Liza and Nadia occupied the seat across from them.

Hailey was coughing to clear her throat. The water choked her after Hazel threw shocking questions at her.

'What with this girl!?' She rants because Hazel threw the question when she was drinking water. Pushing an awkward smile, she asked Hazel to repeat her question.

"I'm asking if Vince was good in bed!?"

Hailey remained speechless. How to counter this question!? Everyone is staring at her curiously!

'Dammit, Hazel! You guys know how to murder me!' She screamed inwardly.

Liza and Nadia glared at Hazel. They were curious too. But they believe it's not something to ask around in public.

"Why do you have to ask Hailey about that out of the blue?" Liza blurted out.

"What? I'm just curious."

Nadia cut in. She snapped at Hazel. "And why are you curious? It was Hailey's privacy!"

"What? I'm just curious that until now Hailey hasn't gotten pregnant."

Hailey fell her jaw on the road. 'What is this girl talking about!?'

She was bathing in sweat. Every pair of eyes on that school bus is curiously looking in her direction.

'What the heck!?' Why is everyone so interested in Vince's life?
