His Contractual Mistress

Chapter 194 - Why Hailey Hillson Was Born?



Chapter 194 - Why Hailey Hillson Was Born?

The following day, since they had only invited limited guests during the launching party, now the store had hundreds of customers waiting outside on its first day of opening.

Metro City Garden Police have to guard the area against media reporters and paparazzi trying to enter the store. To have a peaceful business flow in the store, they limit how many customers can get inside and look around.

The store offers 35% for wedding rings. Clients from around Asia came here today to avail themselves of a great deal and place an order. Although it was available online, the couples came personally to give specific designs of their wedding rings.

And to control the crowd in today's opening, Hailey's knights help by guiding the customers to fall in line and announcing for the next group to enter the store.

"Hello, everyone! My name is Hansen Park! If you are a walk-in customer, please fall in line on the right side. While for clients who registered online, please take the line on the left side. We will assist you with all of our best. We are offering a cup of brewed coffee, espresso, and a cafe latte in this area. Please, help yourself. Thank you for your patience." Hansen bowed.

"Oh, nice!" Everyone rejoices with this news. Free coffee and a Krisp Donut displayed on a long table.

"Hey. Have you noticed? Today's store assistants are all handsome?"

"Oh, my gosh! Are they models hired by DV Gem?"

"Why are they all so handsome!?"

"I never see them on TV or in social media! So then, which entertainment do they come from?"

"Maybe they were fitness influencers!"

"You are right! But maybe they were also models from Calvin Klein!"

"Or from Burberry and Hugo Boss! Those suits are expensive!"

"That must be!"

Soon the words spread through social media. Shoppers came in front of the DV Gem store not to fall in line or get a free coffee but to take a picture with Hailey's Knights. Soon the crowd went crazy that the mall police had to do something with it, especially since the grand opening turned into a star-studded event.

Local actors and celebrities from other Asian countries showed up at today's opening. The media can't get enough pictures of these celebrities waiting outside of the store, falling in line patiently.

As artists, their smiles remain on their lips, pose for a couple of pictures when asked, and accept a brief interview.

"Sure, this company brought a lot of celebrities into one place!" said one paparazzo.

"You said it! I interviewed several actors a while back!" another journalist chimed in. They were happy to gather several resources for a write-up in the next few days.

Now that the store opening went well, Hailey was preparing to head at DV Inc. Asia Branch Office at one o'clock later today. She moves the schedule to the afternoon to not make everyone's schedule chaotic for the entire day.

Dana and Leticia were helping Fraine with the store opening in the morning. Later, the two ladies will join her and Gigi for the branch office opening in the afternoon.

"Pitt, how are things going?" Hailey constantly asks her knights as she wants to monitor the happening in the mall. She trusts the safety within the mall vicinity, but she won't take a rest knowing Liam was roaming around the city, waiting for a chance to get to her.

On the other line, Pitt replied, "It's a little chaotic out here, Princess. The store is now crowded because of the knights assisting with the opening. They all came to see my handsomeness."

Hailey laughed out loud when someone acted like puking in the other line, following Pitt's stressing voice.

"Hansen Park! How dare you!"

Hailey shook her head. These two cousins indeed are very close. They always joke around with each other. However, it looks like Hansen came close to the phone and made a sound of vomiting from disgust after Pitt carried his chair, praising his handsomeness.

"Alright. Both of you stop! My stomach hurts!" Hailey complains from the other end of the call. She tried to stop laughing and talk in a serious tone afterward. Finally, she declared, "Pitt, we need to pull them out soon. Can you tell Keith to replace them with his men? I'm going out to visit the store before I head to the Shen Tower. I need you all in the office then."

"Copy, Princess."

Hailey ended the call; she then dialed another phone number. "Fraine? I have something for you to announce..."

Pitt put back his phone in his coat pocket after making a call to Keith and contacting the other knights.

"Hanz, I'm going to pick up the Princess. But, first, make sure that the place is clear of Liam's men."

"Yes, sir!" Hanz salutes.

Pitt glared at the guy and twitched his mouth. This cousin of his is so stiff if he is not in the mood to bug him. "Can't you smile? You should smile today, Hanz!"

"I'm not like you who flirt everywhere." Hansen frowned.

Pitt stressed out. Honestly, this cousin of his is a killjoy. "This is the opening of the Princess's branch store. You are driving the customers away!"

Hansen signs. He then purses his lips into a forced smile that makes Pitt dig a pit out of frustration.

"The hell! Smile genuinely! Like you see your crush! Not like a dog sweating!"

Hansen's forehead blackened from his comments. He wishes to smack Pitt's head for making fun of him. Does he look like a dog hanging out his tongue? What kind of facial expression is that? He could not imagine what it looked like!

"I don't have a crush," Hansen said, raising a brow as he felt ridiculous about how Pitt is acting childish suddenly.

"Dammit, Hanz! The reason you have no girlfriends!"

"Really? Said who?" Honestly, Hanz just wanted to poke fun with Pitt. He could smile adequately, but he's messing up with his cousin all the time. Besides, he doesn't find the girl who deserves his smile except for his close friends like the princess.

Giving up, Pitt waves his hand, dismissing him. "Go, pick up the Princess. I will be the one to watch the store. Maybe Liam will use another way to send someone to get near the Princess today."

Hanz nodded. He turned around and called another two knights to accompany him picking up the Princess.

"Brother Hanz!" Hailey hugged the guy. It surprised her to hear this morning that the guy arrived in Metro City. "Thank you for coming! But you don't need to. I know you have a lot of work now that the Park Electronics annual celebration is approaching. Is it okay for the CEO to disguise as my bodyguard?"

"Silly. What are you talking about? I am your Knight. Besides, we are dealing with Liam here. So I won't just sit around inside my office. I'm worried about you, of course."

Hanz lifted his arms and reached for Hailey's head. Later on, he realized that he was making a mistake. He apologized.

"Ah... " he chuckled. "I'm sorry. It seems like a habit of mine."

Hailey smiled. She shook her head and said, "I'm always your little Hailey, of course!"

"But knowing you grew this tall." Hansen motioned his hand.

Hailey giggled. She then noticed that Hansen's eyes kept staring at the rings on her fourth finger.

"And you are getting married soon, huh? So you're not little anymore!"

"Not too soon yet!" she said and laughed. But then she noticed something on Hansen's suit. There is lipstick on it. "Oh, gosh! Do you have a girlfriend now, and you bring her along, brother Hanz?"

Hailey asked excitedly. Not only that, her eyes twinkled with excitement. Hanz scratched his temple. How could he explain this to the Princess, who looks like a cute pup now?

Well, it all happened a while ago. But he needs to come up with a lie. 'I'm sorry if I can't tell the truth, Hail!'

"Ahem! Well, on my way here, I went to the restroom. And when I was going out, I was trying to avoid the crowd, but one girl tripped in front of me, and I caught her."

"Ah! That was too romantic!" Hailey exclaimed cheerfully, clasping both of her hands. She had known that Hanz is a bachelor like Pitt.

At first, she does wonder why her Knights have no girlfriends. If there is, they break up so quickly. And what comes about next every time that happens, those girls marching toward her and attacking her. She didn't understand at the beginning.

Later on, Kelly explained to her why the boys don't have a girlfriend. They were always accused of cheating on their girlfriends, and the girl they pointed out is her.

It all begins when she's in Senior High, and the boys take turns to send her to school or pick her up after school with their sports car, then treat her to a coffee shop or ice cream store. She was always called out as the third party.

How ironic. She was still called the third party until the present. And to think about it now, her disguise started when she's in Senior High. She began to hide Hailee Davies' face and identity until it became a habit when she goes out to the public or her dad's business affairs.

Hailee Davies better hide, stay reserved, to not judge, but then Hailey Hillson was born…

Her adventure began during college.
