His Contractual Mistress

Chapter 72 - Favorite Thing To Do

Chapter 72 - Favorite Thing To Do

Headed back to his office, Vince sighed with relief. Finally, all of his meetings today are over, and he could take Hailey home.

He pushed the door open and entered his office. Looking around, he found Hailey lying down on the long sofa, closed eyes and a headphone in her ears.

It seemed that Hailey fell asleep waiting for him.

Vince slowly sat down on the sofa. He extends his arm and caresses Hailey's beautiful face.

It tempted him to kiss Hailey, but he doesn't want to wake her up yet.

Vince got up from the sofa and went to his desk, and sat on his swivel chair. He picked up a folder and began reviewing the text written in the document.

After an hour, he heard Hailey moans. Later, she gets up and sits on the cushion.

Across his office, Vince greeted Hailey. "Hi!"

He got up from his chair and headed to the sofa. Hailey rubs her eyes, and he thinks it was cute. She looked up at him and smiled.

"Hey... How long have I been sleeping?" she asked afterward.

Glancing at his wristwatch, Vince replied to Hailey. "I finished all of my meetings an hour ago, and you were already asleep when I came back."

"Oh. I see. I have been sleeping for over an hour."

"I'm glad you can rest in my office."

"Yeah!" And I felt comfortable sleeping in your office when your scent is lingering around. Hailey thought. Actually, it surprised her how relaxing it was.

She leaned on Vince, rested her head on his shoulder. And she was right; Vince's scent feels like home. It made her fear that she might get used to it from now on.

Vince, on the other hand, his arms immediately wrapped around Hailey's body. He adjusted his sitting position so that both of them were comfortable on the sofa.

Hailey remained to feel lethargic after the nap. And cuddled inside Vince's arms is her favorite to do now.

"So, it's getting dark outside?" she asked Vince lazily.

"Yeah. And if you still wanted to take a nap, go ahead." Vince encouraged Hailey. But the truth is, he just wanted to stay in this position for a longer time.

Hailey didn't know that same as her; this is Vince's favorite thing to do from now on.

And he is praying that no annoying employees of his, particularly his assistant, would knock on his office door and interrupt their lovey-dovey time.

"I will be fully awake soon," Hailey said after a long moment. No one wanted to break the silence. But it will be dinner soon. And so, she asked Vince, "How about your work? I'm sorry if I bothered with your work."

"Not at all! They are my work for Monday. But I was hoping you could keep on napping, so I take a look at them." He lied. The truth is, it needed his attention as soon as possible.

He will go to Australia next week, and those documents required his approval. However, he won't miss these chances to spend as much time with Hailey.

"Okay. Then, we can go home soon so that I can prepare our dinner."

"Why don't we order some food and deliver it to the penthouse later when we arrive home?"

She ponders what Vince is suggesting. It's a good idea since she feels lazy, and it won't be bad to slack off once in a while.

"Okay. I will slack off today," Hailey told Vince. Instantly, he chuckled at her statement.

"No problem! You were doing a great job yesterday, and I wanted you to know I was proud of you."

Hailey opens her eyes. She looked up at Vince and rested her chin on his chest. "I'm glad. Thank you," she said with a smile.

And Vince could not hold himself not to claim those sweet lips of hers. He lowered his face and kissed Hailey.

This time, it was passionately longer.

Hailey, hold on to Vince's suit. She could feel his burning palm stroking her bareback upward.

Vince rested his hand on her nape, pressing his body into her as the kiss deepens.

The moment Vince parted their lips, she gasps for air. She was breathing deep.

Slowly, her senses returned from the trance of the kiss she shared with Vince. Hailey then realized she was lying back on the sofa, and Vince is leaning on top of her.

'Oh, my god!' Suddenly, she freaked out. The kiss made her be lost in it, and she didn't notice what had happened.

Vince was about to kiss Hailey one more time when his office door had soft knocks.

Behind the door outside, Tim is bathing in a cold sweat. Honestly, he doesn't want to meet his end yet. But his report is important.

Helplessly, Tim hurls a deep breath and releases them before he spoke. "Boss, I have important things to report!"

And so don't kill me! Tim added in his head. Later, the door opens, and he is correct. It was a grim face that showed up in the door and sharp glares shooting straight at him.

"How important was it?" Like a thunderous growl, Vince's voice startled his assistant.

Tim swallowed the lump forming in his throat. He stammers his words upon reporting. "Boss... If you plan to... to go home, please use another car."

Creasing his forehead, Vince takes another step out of the door and closes it behind him. He leaned on it and asked Tim, "What's the matter?"

"Boss, the media figured out that you were in the office with Miss Hailey. And so, they were in front of the company, requesting to interview you."

Upon hearing it, Vince's face soured. After a moment contemplating over something, he gives Tim an order.

"Alright. Drove my car toward the West Bay Penthouse. Let us swap cars."

"Okay, boss!" Tim immediately gets his car key and hands it to his boss. He didn't wait for more instruction. He leaves the office with his boss's Lambo.

Meanwhile, Vince ordered his men to check every parking lot level to suspect that paparazzi made their way and hid inside a car somewhere.

Once everything was clear out in the parking lot, Vince and Hailey are taking the lift.

"Can I drive the car?" Hailey asked Vince's permission.

And for a moment, he ponders if it was a good idea. In the end, he agreed.

Hailey made a smooth drive out of the parking lot. When they join the traffic, she slowly speeds up.

Not long after, she confirms that one car is following them. Vince is only silent, seated in the passenger seat. He is also frequently glancing at the side-view mirror and the rearview, watching the cars behind them.

He started suspecting when Hailey took a left turn in an alley, and one car was still following them.

Hailey took the car back onto the main road. One hand on the steering wheel and one hand on the shift knob.

Vince felt they were speeding up. But looking at Hailey, he didn't see any trace of concern in her face. Instead, she drives the car calmly.

Honestly, Hailey is more likely playing with the car behind them. And he could say how focused she was.

It feels like they were in a car race. And Hailey made it an easy conquest.

Vince studied her movement. She was too focused. She was also sharp in watching every direction to make sure they won't crash into another car, and they stop in the traffic lights.

He wants to think now that Hailey is a professional car race driver because she acts like one.

They were now a mile away from the Crescent Penthouse. From their location, they could have a clear view of the building.

There is another traffic light they have to pass first. And before they reach the post, Hailey studies the countdown of which direction has to stop and which one says go.

"Perfect timing..." she mumbled. She overtakes several cars and speeds up to bet the time.

Vince is blinking several times. After his accident five years ago. He chooses to drive carefully and be more cautious of his surroundings when he is on the road since then.

He valued his life, and he has many dreams he wanted to achieve.

What Hailey did just now took his breath away. But gaping at her, she stays calm, and it seems like just a piece of cake to her.

And because of what she did, they lost the car that is following them. He could see no car behind them as it caught by the Stop sign.

Vince is more impressed. At the same time, it made him wonder what other things she is excellent at.

It intrigued him to know more about her.
