His Contractual Mistress

Hailey remains seated in front of the steering wheel, phoning her dad and the boys. 

At the moment, she was discussing with Geoffrey about the LN Group when he had to answer another call. 

Geoffrey placed his phone on his desk without disconnecting Hailey's call, and she heard his conversation with Vincent Shen. 

"There, I set President Shen's visit by next week," said Geoffrey. He resumed talking with Hailey. He informed her of the date the SHEN GROUP is going to visit Dream City.

Hailey is biting her lower lip. Now that Vince's visit was scheduled. It is time for her to make plans on how she could go home to Australia. 

"Pitt, it's me." She phoned the guy to make plans. 

"Hey, Princess! Right timing! I have good news! I finally found Eva Lan!" 

"Great! But I have important things to do, Pitt." 

"Wait... So, what am I going to do now with Eva Lan?" 

"I have no time for her." The only reason I am looking for her so that Vince could finally get the divorce Eva promised him. Hailey thought inwardly. But she didn't share her mind with Pitt. 

"Okay. So I should stop following her around?" 

"Yes and no. Yes, because I have very important things for you to do for me. No, as we will continue to keep an eye on her but paid someone to do it. Someone you trusted, whom the other boys didn't know this person." 

"Okay..." Pitt has begun feeling bad about it. He started fearing for his life. How could he remain to lie to everyone? He is certain that they will kill him the moment they hear about what Hailey has been doing, and he didn't inform the truth! But he has a choice? No. As his loyalty remains to Hailey. "Alright! Leave it to me! Now, what is the important thing you wanted me to do?" 

"Pitt, I want you to go back to Dubai and bring Kelly along with you." 

"Where to?" 

"I need my jet, so I want you to bring it over in P Country. However, I need you and Kelly's help." 

"Oh, we should fetch you from P Country?"  he queried.

"No. You and Kelly will remain in P Country." 

"Huh? Why is that?"  It confuses Pitt, he wondered what she's planning now.

"Can you and Kelly pretend as a couple having a vacation in P Country? 

"What the hell, Princess? No way! No, no, no, no! I will never work with that perfectionist girl!" Pitt blurted out. He wanted to think that Hailey is only joking with him.

"What's wrong? You and Kelly will only stay on the island I will rent out for three days. It will only for three days, Pitt... Please?" 

'Ah! Dammit! She is using her spoiled brat voice to me!' Pitt grumbled to his head, helplessly hurls a deep breath. How can he refuse? 

"Princess, you know that Kelly and I are not on the same page." He is a free-spirited guy who wanders the world, while Kelly is a super traditional woman. "She is boring, you know." 

"Hey! That's offending, you know? Kelly is my best friend, and true that her grandparents raised her strictly, following traditions from her father's custom and culture. Well, she was only a very introverted person with awesome talent!" she convinces Pitt.

He retorted, "I didn't doubt her talent. But you know that she complains a lot." 

"She will not if you refrain yourself from teasing her a lot!" Of course, she witnesses how they were like a dog and a cat, fighting. They truly are very opposite personalities from each other. 

Hailey heard Pitt hurl a long sigh. Later, Pitt agreed. 

"But on one condition. You should talk to her. If she agrees, then I will do it," said Pitt.

Hailey tears a playful smile across her face. She could sense something was going on, and it excites her! 

"Alright! I will talk to Kelly now too. Hang on." Hailey cuts the call. She phone Kelly after. "Hey, Kelly!" 

"Hail! I missed you so much! You haven't called me again!" 

"But we're texting?" 

"I want a FaceTime!" Kelly pouted, crossing her arms above her chest.

"Then, brace yourself! Because you are going to come to P Country!" 

"Really? Oh, wait. Why do I have a bad feeling about this sudden plan?" she doubted it, as she knew Hailey very well. 

"Well..." Hailey laughs nervously. Kelly could really see her through. "Okay! Hear me this... I have a huge favor from you! Can I count you in?" 

"Why do I sense that I'm not going to like it?" 

"Kel, please?" 

Rolling her eyes, Kelly nodded. She retorted, "Alright! I'll listen. So, what is it?" 

"Can you and Pitt pretend as a couple for three days?" 

"What the f...uck, Hail!?" Kelly screamed. Her big brown eyes widened in shock. Soon, her face twitched from disgust. "That... That, that guy? No, no, no, no way! Ah-uh! Over my dead body!" 

Hailey was helpless, watching Kelly laughing crazily. But she has to pursue Kelly to help her out! 

She already promised her dad and Andre to go home next week. Good timing that Vince is leaving P Country. 

"Kelly, please? It's just three days!" Hailey begged. All she needed is to convince Kelly as Pitt was ready to do it as long as Kelly was also willing to. 

"How about that guy? Have you told him already?" 

"Yes." 

"And what he says?" Kelly started to have the anticipation that she could not say no!

"Pitt would do it if you are willing to." 

"If I agreed? Why are we pretending to be a couple?" 

"Okay. I'll explain. I can't just leave the country without explaining to the people I got close here. So, I will make up a story that my couple friends are coming to visit an island here in P Country, and that I will meet you there! But the truth is, you and Pitt will stay on that Island, and I will fly to Australia. That is so simple, right?" 

Ugh. She's explaining lies, which only one person is the cause why she is creating this story. She needs a believable excuse! And Vince has to believe that she's still in the country.

"You know how I hate that womanizer!" Kelly stressed out after she listened to Hailey's explanation. She could say no to Hailey!

"Kel, Pitt is a good man. He may tease you a lot, but he is our friend, right?" 

"But how if he would only flirt with every girl he saw over there? I don't want to look stupid that my fake boyfriend is flirting with other girls!" She won't allow that guy to humiliate her pride! 

"Okay! I get it! If I talk to Pitt about it, would you do it?" 

"Fine! I will if that guy behaves!" Kelly finally gives in.

Hailey controls herself not to tear a huge smile in front of Kelly. Somehow, it excites her to imagine that these two would work on something to understand each other!

"Okay! I will negotiate with Pitt!" Hailey assures her best friend, who's wearing a long face. She ends the Video Call to talk to Pitt again. "Hey!" 

"Princess? So? Have you talked to her already?" 

"Well, yes! Kelly would agree in one condition." 

"Oh, and what is that?" 

"Kelly doesn't want you to humiliate her during your pretense being a couple." 

"Huh? What did that mean?" He knew that girl would make his life miserable! 

"Pitt, can you be nice to her?" 

"Hey! I'm nice to her!" He may say this, but Hailey sees how his lips are pushing a smirk. 

Hailey rolled her eyes and said, "All she wanted is you both can agree once in a while." 

"So, what should I do?" asked Pitt. If it weren't for Hailey, he won't do this! 

"Okay! All Kelly wanted is your restraint from flirting with another girl. I think what Kelly meant is, you act like a loyal boyfriend who only sees one woman and no other else." 

"Is that what she really says, huh?" 

"Well, I just interpreted what she told me." She's telling the truth anyway. Or she assumes it was? And that is because that was Vince to her? Ah! She's pushing her friends to act like how she and Vince! But maybe it's not bad, right?" 

"Alright! Fine! I will do it!" 

"Great! You both really save my life!" 

After Hailey's conversation with Pitt, she chatted with Kelly. 

'Finally! Everything is all set!' Hailey sighs with relief. She has nothing to worry about now. 'Okay! Now I could focus on Vince's class reunion! If I cross Zenaida tomorrow, I want to test her to see if she knows where Eva is.' 

Pitt emailed Eva's address. Hailey would like to see if Zenaida knew where Eva is hiding and she is only keeping the truth from Vince. 

"Will see..." Hailey purses a smirk before she steps out of her car and walks toward her class. She already anticipates what scheme Zenaida would do tomorrow night to humiliate her after seeing she only wears a waitress attire. She mumbled, "How exciting."
