His Contractual Mistress

Chapter 307 - Bryan's Assignment

"When mom dies, and dad is lost where to start without her, which he also has to deal with me, dad struggles to keep his position. Many people took advantage of him and caused trouble. Dad is not worried about money, and we have so much of that. However, it is still necessary to have reliable and trusted allies."

"As the sole heir, I must protect what my forefather has built for our family. It was their sweat and blood that they invested in what I enjoyed: a luxurious life today. And so, if I made little friends, many would take advantage of me. So, growing up, it came to my mind that if everyone became my brother, then maybe I could rely on them if I needed strength one day. So I am glad that my friends supported me when I plan out about building Dream City."

That was true. She truly is a pampered princess, looking childish and impulsive in the past. But she is not blind to what kind of world she is living in, and she is aware of what she has to do.

However, she missed out on noticing that there are actually differences between having a man by her side.

What she needs is a lover…

And meeting Vince made her feel these feelings she never had before. She realized that she only took the boys for granted. But she is happy to have them as her good friends, allies, and partner in crimes.

And the most significant crime they did was threaten the Alliance for rebellion. But that is because they provoke her.

No one should touch Vince because he is her bottom line.

Thinking about these, Hailee glanced at Vince. The guy was stunned when she climbed on top of him and leaned over to kiss him feverishly.

The following two days, Hailee invited Bryan to talk about his plan to resign.

Today, Vince need not hurry to go to his office when Shen Group Dream City HQ is just the next building of this one. Besides, every morning, he made sure that Hailee had her breakfast.

Also, he is watching might her morning sickness attacked, so he would like to be there by Hailee's side to comfort her and help her wash and change into comfortable house clothes. Now, her baby bump is more visible with each passing day.

When Bryan appeared in her apartment unit, it was Vincent who opened the door. Hailee was in her study, sat on a sofa.

"Hi," Bryan greeted Hailee before he took the single couch across from her.

"Bryan, I want you to look at it. I made drafts of an important project I want you to handle."

Hailee pushed a folder toward him, and he picked it up and began flipping through the documents inside. While he was studying the documents in his hand, Vincent often appeared in the room.

First, he brought two glasses of water, and next is tea. The third time, he brought a plate of sliced fruits for Hailee.

Bryan starts to think that Vincent has become Hailee's personal secretary. Or should he say, her servant?

Anyway, what makes him angry is that it interrupts his concentration because Vincent Shen makes sure to show off in front of him, something it urges him to flip the table from annoyance and jealousy.

He could tell Hailee made these requests. Every time she types on her phone, Vincent enters the room carrying something in his hand.

Although Hailee tried not to make it obvious. But Vincent would lean over and kiss Hailee every time she thanked him.

This really pissed him off, because Vincent did not need to show off his affection to Hailee in front of him.

Of course, he has no right to get angry or jealous, but Vincent does know how to break his heart over again.

Well, he is aware that this will happen if you fell in love with your best friend, but she falls in love for another guy, and you don't want to end the friendship.

So then, the only thing he could do was bear it and restrain himself, not throw the coffee table at Vincent every time he came in.

Too obvious. Vincent achieves his goal of making him jealous. The guy is clever, and he knows that deep inside his heart is frustration because he is supposed to be in Vincent's place.

All of this is his role in Hailee's side before, which another guy now took over.

Bryan heaves a long sigh. He shrugs off his frustration and concentrates on what he is reading. After sinking into deep thoughts in about fifteen minutes, he closed the folder and placed it on the coffee table.

He grabbed the glass of drinking water and emptied the content.

"I will accept it." He announced afterward.

"Thank you, Bryan."

Hailee had a gentle smile on her lips. Bryan was in a trance, staring at her soft facial expression.

Before he broke her heart, she always had this huge smile and bright eyes for him. But now, the smiles that would appear on her lips are just a genuine smile for a friend without a special role in her life.

It aches his heart, but he has to move on and accept that things have now changed. Maybe with the assignment, Hailee gave him, he could completely accept that she now belongs to someone else.

Davies Corporation has a foundation head office in Cape Town. Hailee is sending him to South Africa. She is giving him a task to build schools in the most deserving villages, especially the isolated places across the continent.

This includes finding volunteer teachers to assign in those schools. The foundation will give generous allowances to these volunteers. But as the education they will teach to those kids is better lessons, volunteers should graduate with excellent grades and have teaching experience, even just as a practicum teacher.

Bryan's assignment will be within one to two years. If he wishes to extend his stay, it's up to him.

"Your position as Vice President will remain vacant until you come back," Hailee explained further... "You already know that dad made changes regarding the management of Davies Corporation. Geoffrey will be the new CEO of Davies Group, but I still need you."

Bryan smiled at Hailee. Although what she said was not what he wished to hear, it still made him happy that Hailee wanted him.

"I will not disappoint you this time, and I will do my best to fulfill your dreams." In this way, they still have a connection.

Hailee has always been planning to build schools across Africa. This project is too huge and actually a heroic one. But he is determined to be part of her excellent cause.

"Thank you, Bryan."

Bryan nodded. Though sadness flashes in his eyes. This is what he needs for now…

To be away from her for the time being...
