His Contractual Mistress - Chapter 489 Maybe a Coincidence
Chapter 489 Maybe a Coincidence At Dream City several hours ago…
The entire day, Hailee was cheerful after talking to Vincent. She invited the girls for tea, as she had something to discuss.
As the girls noticed her better mood, she could not hide telling them about the birthday gift she received from her dad and dearest husband.
“Hail, the boss dotes on you so much!” Hazel exclaimed excitedly.
Among the three teenagers, Nadia, Liza, and Hazel, the latter was not shy about expressing her opinion in front of Hailee’s cousins and friends, known as notable women in the High Society.
Hailee glanced at Hazel and smiled. She stated,
“And because we have many blessings to count, I want to share the joy with everyone! So I have a plan!”
The girls listened to Hailee laying out her plans, and they were all delighted to help her out.
“So, as Christmas is approaching, I want an early decoration of the La Prairie Courtyard and Meadow Hotel. Including the Dream City hospital, apartments, and the Davies Group building. I will assign Tina, Nancy, and Tiffany for the decoration. Tiff, you already know what theme I usually like, but I love pink and gold, especially this year.”
“I understood.” Tiffany nodded; she inquired. “Can we add white color?”
“Yes! That would be fine! Can it be done sooner? I want to light it when Vincent comes back. I wanted to surprise him.”
It can sense the excitement in Hailee’s voice and appear in her eyes. She doesn’t just look in love, but it is typical of her to act like a child who wants to live in a “World of Fairytales”.
And that broad smile on Hailee’s face reminded Tiffany not to disappoint her boss.
“We will do our best, Hail. I could not promise you to complete the decoration too soon since we must order hundreds of thousands of decorations to cover everything. We can make a miracle unless we have hundreds of helpers.” Tiffany explained to her excited boss.
“Well, I have my planes to fetch the people we need. What do you guys think, girls?” Hailee swept her gazes to the women in front of her.
With that, Tiffany saw no problem anymore. Since she became the Department Head of the Davies Corp Interior Design Team, the Christmas decorations and organizing a party fell on her hand.
Six months before Christmas, she had already prepared a presentation to approve the new theme for the year. So then, she could order all the decorations ahead of time.
And before Thanksgiving Day, all Davies establishments in entire Australia, such as the malls and hotels under Davies Corp., had put up the Christmas decorations.
It is all thanks to Hailee’s great grandmother, who had a rich family culture and was accepted by the Davies in-laws and was happy to adapt to this beautiful tradition.
“Alright then, as we can have the workforce we need, we can finish decorating in a short time. Now, all we should do is make a new batch of orders to meet all the Christmas ornaments we need. The factory is ready to deliver my initial orders for the Davies Corporation building, Solaris Hotel, and Davies Square Plazas. I will contact the factory to deliver them here in Dream City instead. Then we can first decorate your suite and the entire top floor. How about that, Hail?”
“That was brilliant, Tiff! I want a pink Christmas tree inside my suite!”
The smile on Hailee’s face never disappears. Her eyes had become like those dazzling lights in the Christmas tree twinkling with joy as she could not stop planning further.
“Please, decorate the hotel lobby next. I’m sure the kids would love to hang out around the Christmas tree, so fill them with lots of gifts. Then the dining hall… Oh, the hospital and Davies Group!”
Nancy and Tina listened keenly and listed down all Hailee’s requests.
Tiffany is doing the same as well. As they spoke, her head was already flooded with ideas. “Note, Hail. My team will fly first thing tomorrow for a thorough plan.”
“Great! And by the way… I want to hire a carnival for my birthday! I want more rides to put up for the kids! And also for adults to enjoy!”
Tiffany shared a knowing look with the other women. They could not comment but shrugged their shoulders and rode with the flow.
The new momma is enjoying the best of her life, and they were happy to join her in fun.
As growing up with Hailee, Tiffany knew her capriciousness. However, Hailee is not doing this only for her own entertainment, but the people who enjoy it most are her family and friends she would invite along.
This time, it’s not just to feed her caprice but also to treat her workers.
Besides, it doesn’t matter if Hailee would throw hundreds of million dollars. She has the wealth she earned from her own companies.
“Alright, Hail. I will hire the best carnival group in Australia. Or do you want to invite some international performers? How about Magicians?”
“Carnival? Magicians?” The three teenagers suddenly shrieked from their seats. “Hail, can we invite those who win from Got Talent?”
“Of course! That was a perfect suggestion!”
The three girls didn’t hide their excitement, and they jumped jovially.
Kelly and Vera could only shake their heads as it reminded them of their college days. As their hearts were still full of innocence, they were like this.
Recounting these memories made them realize they didn’t have dates back then, as they preferred to stay single. Besides, they do not lack men to hang out with.
Hailee’s knights are always around, and no other boys can approach them.
Kelly lowered her head and hid the smile that flashed on her face. Now she wondered if Alex, who chased the guy away, had asked her for a date. Alex revealed to her he had a crush on her back then.
Meanwhile, Vera has a different story. She has liked Geoffrey ever since she was in elementary. She was ten when she first met Geoffrey. And since then, her heart has always been reserved for him.
While Vera and Kelly were lost in their thoughts, Hailee and Tiffany continued discussing the plan.
“Okay. I will contact a few international magicians to perform on your birthday.” Tiffany winked at Hailee; then, she lowered her gaze to take that note as well. “Anything else?”
“Umm… I have more ideas. But right now, please focus on decorating Dream City. I want to put up a giant Christmas tree in the middle of Dream City! I want the carnival set up there. And of course….”
Hailee paused and looked at the three teenagers listening eagerly in the corner.
“You girls want to run a cafe?”
“Really? Can we put up a coffee shop and sell some pastries?” Nadia and Liza were elated to imagine earning some cash.
But the profit won’t go to their pockets. Instead, they will donate the money to the foundations that prepare Christmas presents for the unfortunate children in poorer communities in Metro City.
Last Christmas, Hailee organized a Christmas party held in their neighborhood. She invited several foundations in Metro City, and she prepared a lot of presents for the kids aside from donating learning materials such as computers, books, and art supplies.
They wonder where Hailee got that much money as in so much! Even though a rumor had already spread that Hailee was CEO Vincent Shen’s girlfriend, she told them someone from Australia gave it. They were grateful for her kind heart.
Now, the mystery has an answer. It all came from Hailee’s very own pocket. In fact, she could donate a billion, and that’s her foundation for helping young girls worldwide.
“Hail, thank you for letting us earn some money!” said the girls.
“Small thing, girls. We have a huge pastry kitchen in the Meadow Hotel that is only used during my wedding. You girls can use the kitchen.”
“Really? Ah, thank you, Hail!” The three girls squealed, then went to the corner and made plans for their cafe.
“Since they were billionaire heiresses and billionaire wives, we should charge them triple the price,” Hazel suggested to Liza and Nadia, which shocked the two girls.
“You’re out of your mind!” Nadia berated. “Why would we charge them overpriced when we can place a box and ask for a donation?”
“That’s right! The triple price you suggested is just a cent to their donation.” Liza echoed. “Imagine they are giving us a thousand-dollar bill!”
The three girls talk in lower voices but still can be heard.
The older women rendered their silence as they shared a look at each other. Afterward, they laughed as the three teenagers never failed to amuse them.
Now they planned to scheme them.
Hailee could not stop herself from laughing that it hurt her stomach. She lovingly strokes her belly and talks to her children.
She looked up and called Nancy.
“I want you to gather the housewives and ask them if anyone is interested in putting up a store during the carnival show. It will be more fun if various foods are on the street.”
“Note, Mrs. Shen!”
Hailee had a sweet smile on her face and sparks in her eyes when she said this. Madison knew this girl was still not over with her cravings.
“Hail, you just wanted to eat a variety of food.”
Hailee did not deny it but explained. “I have a thousand workers here. I’m sure they would love to have new dishes once in a while!”
“As much as you do.” Gigi teases her.
Hailee had a sweet smile, as she could deny nothing. Of course, it was her initial plan!
“It’s my birthday. Can’t you guys let me treat myself special?” she beams while her eyelashes flutter cutely.
Cassandra and Madison could only shrug their shoulders. After some thought, Cassandra volunteered.
“Alright. Nancy would be busy helping Tiffany decorate, so leave the homemakers to me. I will set up a meeting with them and discuss your plans.”
Hailee’s face brightened, and her eyes twinkled with joy. “Thank you, Cassie! You’re the best!”
Cassie nodded. It’s been a while since she did charity work. So she loves to help in any way.
The girls continue drinking tea while having a lively conversation.
“I have something on my mind!” All of a sudden, Hailee burst out. “I will invite all Davies employees here in Dream City and throw a New Year’s party! It will include their families so that the children will enjoy the carnival. We will have a magical firework display!”
“It’s a great idea, Hail. The kids would love it.”
“Agreed!”
Honestly, none of them can stop Hailee from spending her money. Her businesses are doing well aside from the Davies Corporation shares her dad transferred to her name. She has so much money to burn.
Knock! Knock!
The tea room door was pushed open, and James peeked from outside.
“Hey, Empress! Have a minute? Vincent is on the other line.” James waved the phone in his hand.
“Sure!” Hailee slowly got up from her seat. Then she walked to the corner to have a private moment with her husband.
Meanwhile, Cassandra noticed when Madison’s face went pale. Suddenly, she became anxious.
“What’s wrong, Madison?”
Madison calmed down, not for the other girls to notice the anxiety she felt at the moment.
“Mama, I just felt a chill down my spine after hearing James called Hailee Empress.”
“Why?” Although Hailee was an empress in her past life, Madison acted weird.
“After someone killed Papa Shun. Hailee became the Head of the High Royal, and a private organization attacked the underground world with a leader called Empress.”
“Madison, can it be just coincidence?” She had a bad premonition, but Cassandra was confident that they had made enough changes.
“I hope it was just a mere coincidence, Mama.”
Madison and Cassandra look in Hailee’s direction, who had a lively conversation with her husband.
