His Contractual Mistress

Chapter 402 - Davies Corporation (One)

Davies Corporation, Sydney HQ

Three black cars parked in front of this giant building. Vincent looks up as he steps out of the vehicle after Tim opens the car door for them.

Heaving a long sigh to relieve the tension he feels now, Vincent calms his nerves.

Vincent isn't afraid to face those wolves waiting for him inside. However, he doesn't want to embarrass his wife and disappoint his father-in-law, so he has to be careful about mingling with the other big bosses working in this company.

The Sydney headquarters was the principal office of all Davies's business worldwide. It includes building real estate, hotels, resorts, malls around the Oceania Continent, and industries such as building aircraft, goods, and everything. Name all kinds of businesses; Davies has it all.

Vincent was in deep thoughts when his father-in-law patted on his shoulder.

He said, "Let's go."

The warm smile on his father-in-law's face eases the things that trouble him.

Vincent nodded at Jacob, matching his steps climbing toward the entrance. He already received her ID at the same time as his pass to enter the company.

"Good morning, Mr. Davies!"

Five security guards standing at the door politely greeted Jacob.

"Good morning! I want you to meet Vincent Shen, my son-in-law, and your new boss."

"Good morning, Mr. Shen." They greeted him politely.

"Good morning. How are you doing, boys?"

"We're good, boss." The five security guards replied in unison.

"Great." Vincent made a soft smile. It is important he could get along with everyone, which he has no problem doing back in P Country.

However, this is not P Country, and everyone inside this building would become either his friends or a foe with the letter 's'.

After the introduction, Jacob proceeds inside and walks straight to the elevator. There will be a welcome gathering later at lunch. Until then, Vincent will meet a thousand employees working in this building, and in the following months, he and Jacob are scheduled to visit the branches around the globe.

Inside the Executive Elevator, Kristian pressed the top floor button that he and the other five assistants were the only ones who could access it.

The offices on this floor are the Chairman, his assistants, and two secretaries.

As the head assistant, Kristian has the bigger room, then a separate office of the other two assistants and the two female secretaries sharing a room.

There is also a waiting lounge area, a pantry, and a big conference room next to the Chairman's office.

Tim had already memorized all the floors and departments of this building. When his boss was on his honeymoon, Tim was busy following Kristian to be familiar with the headquarters.

If someone wants to see the chairman, a security protocol must be performed. Of course, the chairman is also a mafia lord. Who knows if an assassin was sent over? They must ensure his safety at all costs.

And soon after the princess takes over her dad's chair, they remain to follow this security protocol.

"Vincent, there is a penthouse on the rooftop. You can remodel it that suits yours and my daughter's liking. When she started taking office, there were many chances that you both wanted to stay to begin overtime. Also, the conference room will be taken down soon and replaced as your office. For the time being, you will share an office with me."

Jacob explained this during their ride. Now that his father-in-law had mentioned this, Vincent queried.

"If we can share a room, maybe it should remain that way for me and Hailee, dad."

"No. Hailee deliberately asks me to give you a separate office."

Vincent studied his father-in-law's face. He tried to search for the answer through his words and facial expression, but he failed to find one.

On the other hand, Jacob knew Vincent needed the elaboration of his statement.

"My daughter knew you needed a peaceful time when you draw. Hailee wanted you to continue designing during your spare time."

'But I would rather spend it with her if I have a break time.' Vincent thought to himself.

But then, he agreed to his father-in-law. Vincent still wanted to draw the blueprint of the castle he wanted to build for his family, and he might do that in his free time if he had.

So maybe it isn't entirely a bad idea.

"Dad, how about a partition? Hailee and I would still be in the same office. But we could have our privacy."

Hailee had her own companies, which she needed virtual conferences on a timely occasion like him. He also had his own companies he was required to check regularly. It will be many video calls with his sisters with essential company matters.

Although he had already assigned trusted people to help his sisters, it was still different to run his own company.

Vincent waited for his father-in-law's reply regarding his suggestion. After a long thought, Jacob smiled at him.

"It was a brilliant idea. Since the management of this company was full on your and my daughter's shoulders, you both can discuss what suited most in your working space."

"Thank you, dad."

Jacob nodded his head. It was then the elevator opened.

"Good morning, Mr. Davies." The two other assistants and two secretaries greeted the boss politely.

"Good morning, everyone. I would like you to meet your future boss. Vincent Shen."

"Good morning, Me. Shen."

"Good morning." Vincent returned, sweeping his eyes to each face of these assistants.

"Good morning, Tim."

One female secretary greeted Tim with glee. Vincent senses a meaning to that secretary's smile; he glared at his assistant with meaningful stares saying, 'Should I tell your fiance?'

On the other hand, Tim pretended he didn't see his boss' accusing stares. "Ahem! Good morning, Secretary Brown."

He put his hand on his mouth as he coughed, displaying his engagement ring on his fourth finger.

Secretary Brown understood it was a rejection from Tim, as he was already engaged. But in the passing days, she assisted Tim, and she could not help develop a special feeling.

Lena Brown is Davie's head maidservant, Mrs. Brown's granddaughter. She just graduated from college and was on her internship as Hailee's close secretary soon.

"Alright. We have a welcome lunch party at noon for Mr. Shen... You can all go back to your desk."

"Thank you, sir."

As the five employees walked toward their offices, Jacob brought Vincent to the penthouse while Tim followed Kristian to his office.

Vincent looked around the moment he got inside the penthouse. Hailee and her mom, Marilyn Hillson, were the only pictures in the room.

The photo of his late mother-in-law proves how in love his father-in-law is with his wife as he never had the interest to remarry.. Vincent's admiration for his father-in-law has been even greater.
