Chapter 356 - Second Wedding
Office of the President
Seated behind her desk, Hailee signs several documents that need her attention when her office door pushes open.
"Hey, boss..." Geoffrey knocks while peeping at the door. His eyes swept around the room and a sigh of relief escaped his mouth silently after Hailee was alone.
"What are you doing?" Hailee asked the guy with one eyebrow raised upward when Geoffrey remained outside and waiting for her permission to enter the office.
Hailee is not used to this kind of formality from her knights, so that she couldn\'t help frown.
"Checking out if you are not busy?" Geoffrey answered, wearing the usual smile on his face when he was alone with Hailee.
Now that Hailee is soon to be the Chairwoman of Davies Corporation, he has to address her more formally.
And besides, she is someone\'s wife soon. There will be a boundary to their friendship, unlike before, whom he could date her. Although Hailee thinks it\'s just a coffee or two friends going out, it\'s a date for him, and yes, he pitied himself.
So he must expect less from that little girl, who constantly rang his phone because from now on, it was another man who would be the first person she\'d call on.
"Jeez…" Hailee rolled her eyes, listening to Geoffrey\'s joke. She gestured her hand and said, "Please, come in, CEO Wilson."
Geoffrey\'s crisp laughs echoed in her office after addressing him with formality, which they have to be used to already starting soon, a more challenging work they have to face.
Geoffrey smiled and took a seat in front of Hailee\'s office table. "I just have something to report to you," he began.
"Okay. Go ahead."
"Well… This morning, the other firms approached me. They offered help after they heard we needed manpower to finish furnishing the two hotels within less than two weeks. Honestly, Mr. Shen\'s action inspired everyone after stopping their construction work to help the Interior Designing team. And so, they are ready to lend a hand as well!"
"Is that true?" Hailee watched Geoffrey nod his head.
She was delighted to accept all the help she could get so that her first guest enjoyed their stay in Dream City. Besides, these guests are her potential investors and future business partners once her city opens to the world.
"Please, thank them for me." Hailee could actually have this request, but she is keener to continue the construction rather than make her wedding perfect.
When Vince lent his employees, a weight lifted from her shoulders. It worries her that everything will not be ready until her wedding day, and so the more workers, the better.
Geoffrey replied, "I will. Everyone is sending their congratulations on your wedding and wishing you all the happiness in the world."
Hailee smiled upon hearing this. She was touched by how willing they were to help her out. "Thank you, Geoffrey."
"No problem! You know that all of us would lend you a hand whenever you needed us." \'I\'m always here every time you need me.\' Geoffrey added, but it\'s only inside his head. He would not dare say I, but he used us instead of being obvious of his personal intention. He knew to himself that it would take a long time before he could forget his feelings for Hailee.
On the other hand, Hailee could determine now that Geoffrey has a feeling for her.
Hailee softens her gaze. Geoffrey is such a man. Whoever married him would become one of the luckiest girls in the world. And she prayed he would meet the one for him.
"Alright! I\'ll go back to my office to inform the construction firms they can send their workers to the hotels tomorrow morning."
"Okay. I will phone Tiffany and share the good news, so then she can start figuring out where to assign them."
"Yeah. That\'s great!" Geoffrey smiled at Hailee, nodding his head, then stood up from the seat.
Hailee stared at Geoffrey\'s receding back, then shifted her gaze to the powder room door.
Out of the blue, Vincent appeared from the door after Geoffrey left her office.
A while back, Vincent went to the restroom to leak. When he was about to get out, he heard Hailee speak to someone at the door. He thought she was talking to him, but then he heard Geoffrey\'s voice, and he didn\'t like the guy\'s flirty laugh at his wife.
But he remained in the restroom and eavesdropped, pressing his ear to the door.
Listening to the conversation proves to him that Hailee\'s knights are only very casual toward her if he isn\'t around. And even though Hailee fell in love with him; however, he could not suppress his jealousy because they were all together longer than him.
But he promised himself that he would act nicely as he would work with everyone soon, until their last breaths.
The Wilson family is one of the closest friends and business partners the Davies had. For the sake of Hailee, he will try to have a good relationship with every knight she had, even those he knew that thought of her romantically.
"Hey, hubby." Hailee placed her elbow and rested her chin on her palm. She parted her lips into a smile and mouthed, "You were eavesdropping, right?"
Vince chuckled and made a gradual step toward Hailee. He placed his right palm into the table and left palm into Hailee\'s chair.
"Yes, I am, boss…." He didn\'t deny it.
"Silly…" Hailee lifted her chin to reach Vince\'s lips, placed a light kiss, then bit his bottom lip.
"Don\'t look at me hungrily." Vince sighs helplessly. Hailee is seducing him again.
She reached for his tie and played on it. "We haven\'t done it for two days now."
\'It was because I let you have a rest!\'
Vince gathered all his sanity not to lose control. Since they came back, all Hailee has done its work, which she still had morning sickness. Even though it\'s not that bad anymore; however, it will never lessen his worries, so he didn\'t touch her for two nights now.
But her hormones are crying out loud. She became a great temptress.
"Boss, I need to begin my presentation to you." At the last minute, he wanted to distract Hailee, most especially himself, and otherwise, he would grab this opportunity to give in and allow her to take advantage of him.
Hailee didn\'t listen, and Vince cheerily sighed after she slowly unbuttons his shirt, looking at him seductively.
Later on, Hailee runs her fingers into his broad chest, then claims his lips with hers.
What he could only do every time was to surrender happily and satisfy this woman. And if it happens, she is not pregnant; he would not hold back and make love with her crazily.
"Wifey, are you hungry?" Vince asked Hailee while helping her wash in the powder room.
Hailee didn\'t reply, but a playful smile appeared on her lips when she put different meanings in his words.
"Wifey…" Vince moaned. He leaned over and nibbled her neck. This is her punishment for being such a temptress.
"Hmm… Are you showing off to all of my employees who are single men and single ladies?"
With a hoarse voice, Vince whispered to her ear, "Should I admit it\'s my fault? Their boss is such a seductress, and she actually has to be punished more than this."
"Really? I\'m thrilled... Didn\'t you enjoy the punishment as well?"
Vince growled when Hailee wrapped his semi-hard shaft with her palm.
"It needs attention," she added, then licked his lips.
Vince could only sigh helplessly between their kisses. He made a promise yesterday, which he regrets now. If Hailee gets pregnant each year, he will be the one who will suffer most as he could not make love with her as wild as before, and he will be concerned about her carrying more of his babies.
Besides, it is not healthy that Hailee\'s body would not have enough rest from pregnancy.
*
One week has passed, and the wedding is just two weeks away; Hailee cannot sit around as the date gets closer.
She just realized her wedding was not the same as all weddings she attended before, except Cassandra and Nikki, who come from affluent families.
The Chen and Young family are known throughout Korea, while Nikki\'s ancestors are successful merchants in China.
They are not different from Vince, who is from the line of the Imperial family but living a low profile of life ever since...
However, the situation is the opposite because the entire world knew she was wealthier than Vince.
Cassandra and Nikki got married to the wealthiest men in the world. Their wedding also flooded with important people from every part of the world, the reason Hailee felt the need to watch the wedding preparation even though she had a dozen organizers.
It has to ensure they can accommodate all the guests, then make sure that there is no problem at her wedding reception and the food, which is very important!
A hundred chefs prepare everything from appetizers, main course to dessert for thousands of guests.
She was thankful. With the help from Mrs. Gomez and Hazel\'s family\'s company managed by Lloyd, they immediately gathered the needed chefs, baristas, bartenders, wait for service, and housekeepers that total of a thousand workers is ready to fly to Australia.
And, of course, her entourage!
The bridesmaids\' gowns and groomsmen\'s wedding suits are all finished, made by famous couture houses.
Her bridal car is also ready, and her groom is getting handsome every day while she is getting rounder!
"What\'s with the face?" Gigi noticed after seeing Hailee\'s brows furrowed since they join her at the rooftop.
Hailee called the girls to have an afternoon tea at the penthouse of the Davies Group building. This morning, she woke up with a heavy heart.
"I am gaining more weight lately!" Hailee began her rants, shedding fresh tears.
Kelly, who was sipping her tea, swallowed the hot liquid after Hailee\'s burst out. She made constant coughs clearing her throat to speak.
"Please, your baby bump is growing fast. Normally, you gain weight because there are three healthy babies inside!"
Hailee tried to smile and console herself. But she could not stop her tears as she had mood swings at the moment.
"But I want to look sexy and beautiful in my wedding dress," She sniffles.
Janise handed her a Kleenex box and tried to help comfort, Hailee. "Why are you worried? Can\'t you and Vince get married again? I can make you another dress! A deep V-neckline, backless and tube style! I will design it with a long slit from your hips line!"
After Janise said that, Hailee\'s mood finally brightened as an idea popped up in her head.
"That\'s right! Vince and I can get married again and this time at Hiryuu Island!"
And in that way, she and Vince can bind their love through eternity!
