His Contractual Mistress

Chapter 20:Going To A Class Reunion

N University

Carl Johnson, the handsome professor of Operation Management course, and all of his student's eyes were on him, pretending to listen to his lessons. But many of these girls just made a cute face at him.

He always wanted to roll his eyes, thinking that these kids only came here to look for love life and mess their parents' money paying the tuition fees.

At the moment, he was discussing an important topic regarding his lesson. But as usual, these kids aren't listening carefully but more on staring at his handsome face.

It was his pride to look like Adonis and Hermes, but he is serious when it comes to studying. He has passion, and he wants to make these kids understand. From here, their future depends on their performances in class.

His eyes sweep in the room to check the faces and reactions of his students. However, his gaze always settles in one place.

Of course, Vince's girlfriend has been his student since class started last August, and it shocked him when by January, he heard that Vince is living with her as his mistress.

Hailey Hillson is an international student, and he once helped her on the day she came to enroll in the university.

She's extremely beautiful, and he plans to get close to her. However, she's a little aloof. He could sense she was avoiding him purposely. No. For most of the boys in the school, she avoids getting close to them. All he could get was a thin smile across from her face, but she was laughing cheerfully around her circle of friends.

So how did his cousin win this woman's attention?

Until now, still a mystery to him. He attempted to ask Vince how he courted Hailey, but Vince just raised a brow and ignored his question.

Ah! He believes they are a perfect couple; both have a mysterious charisma!

He has known Vince all his life. So, he knew that his cousin doesn't enjoy going on dates, but he didn't say no to a drinking party once in a while. Vince loves studying and going to the office, even though he's still in college. At such a young age, Vince was already learning how to run their company.

After Vince graduated from the AB course, he took Architecture. Now he manages the SHEN GROUP and brings the company into glory; climbed to the top as the best Developer Company in the country. And now, he aims to win a project Internationally.

Vince, who holds several development projects in Metro City, is collaborating with international companies.

He became a CEO at such a young age because he only focuses on working rather than looking for a love life or fooling around like the typical son and grandsons of High Society.

The reason it shocked him how Vince captured the heart of a woman like Hailey Hillson. For him, she was a mysterious girl. It intrigued him to know who she really was.

After over an hour, his class finally ended. Carl watched Hailey and her friends leaving the building.

'My cousin is truly a lucky bastard. The girl looks like a model. Can she be? Never mind.' Carl muttered inwardly. He walked toward his car and left the university.

Meanwhile, Hailey, Nadia, and Liza headed to the Canteen to buy something to eat before their next class began.

And this time, Hazel joined them.

Hazel was sitting at their table. Instantly she shared the news. And as friends, they usually cut in or snap when someone talks seriously or is in the middle of exciting gossip.

"Hey, sis! Do you know?"

"We didn't..." Liza joked to Hazel that it made the girl pout.

"Jeez! Just followed me!" Hazel complained.

Beaming, Liza gives in, gesturing her hand. "All right! Let's go! Start from the top!"

"Okay!" Hazel sat properly, her hands placed on her lap elegantly to prepare herself with a gossip she wanted to share with her friends.

Nadia, who is munching, shaking her head, watching her two friends look like idiots while Hailey is sipping a cola—eagerly waiting for Hazel's gossip, as for sure it was interesting. She loves when the girls throw jokes and punchlines at each other. She laughed hard, and her mouth tore broad smiles every time.

"Did you know?" Hazel began again.

Liza replied, "The... what?"

"About the Class Reunion of those who graduated in the year 2015?"

"Oh. What about it?" Liza asked innocently, putting chips on her mouth.

Full of enthusiasm, Hazel mouthed, glancing at Hailey. "It means Vince will be there!"

"Hm? Why are you looking at me?" Hailey creased her forehead, pretending she is less interested.

Hazel explained, "Of course, Vince needs a date! Who else would go with him?"

"Well, I may be his girlfriend. But it's inappropriate that I go with him." She felt like it's not right. It's a formal gathering.

"Why not? Vince and Eva were never a couple, you know." Hazel had guessed that it was Hailey's concern. Vince indeed married, but where is Eva? She chose fame over her marriage. At that time, Vince is not the SHEN GROUP CEO yet. But in the past two years, he surprised everyone when the company rapidly climbed to the top. "You know, you should go if Vince asks you."

"It's not just a business party that Vince could bring me around. It's a Class reunion." Hailey reasoned out.

"If it worries you because Zenaida was there? I will be there too! My cousin asked me to be his date."

Hazel didn't give up convincing Hailey. She has known Vince all her life because he and her cousin are childhood friends. She thinks Vince deserves to have a love life, and she could see that Hailey is a wonderful person and the two are perfect for each other.

Thinking over, Hailey takes a moment of silence before she replies. Pushing a smile, she explained herself. "Honestly, I'm not afraid of that woman. I think that it is not a suitable occasion for me to attend."

Still, in the eyes of everyone, she is just the Mistress. Besides, she respects Vince's reputation in the High Society. Also, she already guesses he would deliver a speech to that party. Vince must gain everyone's recognition, and she might ruin that night with gossips and slandering words thrown at her. "I'm not needed for that party."

"Looks like you are, girl!" Liza cut in. She went on. "Mrs. Gomez sent a notice! They are listing us to serve that night!"

"Wait, what?" Hailey and Nadia muttered at once.

"The class reunion was going to be held at M Club Resort, the place we are going to tomorrow. No wonder we have our field activity there."

"Damn. So, you are going to serve the guests instead of you as a guest on that night?" Hazel mouthed in disbelief.

Hailey shrugged a shoulder, tearing a delighted smile. "It's for our grades, so I don't mind doing the waitress job."
