HIS CONTRACTUAL MISTRESS

Chapter 111 - He Should Not Lose Hope



Chapter 111 - He Should Not Lose Hope

Tim glanced at his back. His eyes widened to see the beautiful woman smiling at him.

"It is you, Tim!"

"Nancy Su!" Tim was surprised to see her. He never imagined that a day would come, and he will meet Nancy again.

"What are you doing here?" Nancy asked him.

"I... My company is a contractor here in Dream City." Tim answered. "How about you?

Even though it was apparent to him what Nancy has been wearing, he has no other question in mind to prolong the conversation. He wanted to know if Nancy was living in one of the apartments here.

"Well, I am the supervisor of this supermarket. I was doing my rounds when I noticed you. I can't believe it! What a small world!"

"Yeah. Indeed, a small world! But your family goes back to Hong Kong. Why are you here?"

"Well, yeah. Fortunately, my family migrated to Australia, and I finished college here. Then, Dream City was hiring an experienced manager. I tried my luck and had been accepted. I resigned from the fast-food I work. Besides, salaries are more decent here than my previous jobs."

"That's great then! Anyway, we've just arrived today, and our apartment was empty. So, I'm doing some shopping. What a fate to meet you here..."

"I agree! I never thought I would meet you here. Then! Allow me to help you. What else do you need?" asked Nancy, scanning the items in his cart.

Tim replied, "I need some of this bottled water and then fresh fruits and vegetables."

"Nice. I'm happy to see that you were taking care of yourself."

"Ah. It's for my boss."

"Oh... What a great assistant you are."

Tim waves his hand, blushing. "Nah. I was asked to watch his diet, so I'm buying fruits and vegetables."

"Ah. That must be your boss' wife?" Nancy guessed. She watches Tim nodded, then she remembered something. "Oh. Don't tell me that you are working at Shen's like your father?"

Tim smiled. "Yes, I am."

"I knew it! Your father is one of their engineers."

Tim's eyes gleamed. It made him happy that Nancy still remembers his family. "I'm glad to know that you didn't forget us."

Nancy blushed. She bites her lower lip upon realizing that she was transparent to Tim. "I... Of course, I remembered! Why would I forget you? We have been neighbors for so many years."

Tim could see how Nancy would avert her gaze to avoid his. And the way her cheeks flush, he didn't need to rack his head to determine her facial expression.

With the help of Nancy, Tim finished shopping quickly. He followed the girl toward an empty cash register. It surprised him when Nancy sat on the stop, opened the computer, and p his items.

"So, you are not only a supervisor?"

"Well, I helped pack during busy hours, and that was mainly in the evening."

"I see. So... Are you also stating here?"

"Yup! I was staying at Apartment 3. It was an all-female apartment."

"Ah. That's great! Davies Group surely made strict rules to their employees."

"Yes, they are."

Tim watched Nancy punch his groceries and then packed. He handed the debit card to Nancy, and the girl handed it back to him after the transaction was approved.

"Thank you," said Tim to Nancy. "So, see you around then?"

"Yup! See you around!"

"Oh. Before I forgot, can I add you on Instagram?" Asked Tim.

"Sure! Add me @JustNancy."

Tim searched his Instagram. Honestly, he just wanted to check her account if Nancy has a boyfriend. For sure, if she had one, she would post their photos on social media.

"How about WhatsApp? Can I add you, too?"

"Sure! I'll DM you after you followed me on Instagram."

Tim finally found Nancy's Instagram account. He browses the photo, and he's happy that most of her photos were about her family and a group of friends.

"There, I followed you."

"Great! I'll check my phone during my break. I'll DM you my WhatsApp number."

"Great! I'm waiting. Well then, I'll go ahead. My boss has a meeting with Director Wilson."

"Ah! Sir Geoffrey! He's nice!"

Tim curled his forehead. When he mentions the director's name, Nancy suddenly gets excited, and her eyes flicker.

He couldn't explain, but he seems to get jealous. But maybe, Nancy is not the only one who had a crush on the director, like how every female employee of Shen Group had a crush on his boss, even married women whose age is not different from theirs.

Tim shrugged the jealousy in his heart. If Nancy likes any of the executives, it means he could not compete with those men.

In his little information, all those men are from prominent families. They weren't just the higher-ups of Davies Group. They are also business partners of their boss.

It means they are rich, and he was only an assistant.

Tim thought that it was his lucky day. But reality quickly slaps him with the truth.

He is driving a Lamborghini because the company was generous to its contractors.

When Tim comes back to the apartment, Vince notices that his assistant was gloomy. His face is darkened and silent. Different from his usual attitude that is noisy.

Vince observes Tim, and he is sure he was somewhat feeling down.

"What's the matter with you, Tim?" Vincent couldn't take it anymore. His assistant's silent behavior irritates him more than being noisy and nosy.

Tim only pushed his lips into a faint smile that made Vince dumbfounded. His assistant is acting weird!

"Are you being rejected?"

Vince's comments made Tim's expression worsen. His face was distorted. Vince almost burst out laughing, seeing Tim's reaction.

On the other hand, Tim wishes a day he could smack his boss. How dare he mock him like this!? Ever since his boss fell in love. He is such a bully toward him!

Tim could only ignore his boss, whose mouth curved in a mocking smile because he has no right to protest! Besides, his boss is right. He suddenly felt rejected, and now he is sulking, which he has no rights because Nancy is not his girlfriend... Yet.

"So, who's this girl?"

Tim was dumbfounded. His boss suddenly becomes a god of love! Now he realized that he was obvious in front of his boss, then no use denying.

"I just met an old classmate back in High School."

"Oh. Then why are you feeling dumped? Is she already married?"

Tim didn't reply but pondered. Why is he sulking, by the way? It's not like they have a relationship or what. And it's his fault for being assuming.

"I don't know if she's married already, boss."

"Have a boyfriend?"

"I didn't notice anyone on her Instagram." It was too late already. His boss caught him good! Now he is guilty of stalking Nancy's social media account!

Vince was satisfied to tease his assistant. In these passing months, he knew that Tim is secretly poking fun at him in his mind.

'Now, look at this guy.' Vince mused. Somehow, it made him realize one thing. Does he also act like this occasionally?

There are times that he is upset or mad at something that is related to Hailey.

Vince decided to stop teasing his assistant. Instead, he advises him through his own experienced. "Then if she has no husband or boyfriend, yet. Why are you giving up already?"

Tim was even more surprised. Ever since his boss had a real girlfriend, he's becoming a good love advisor!

And he could not disagree. He is right. He should not lose hope when he even didn't start fighting!

Tim's confidence comes back. He arranged the groceries on the cabinet with enthusiasm.

Vince shook his head. He held himself not to joke on Tim because he knew better. He also acted weird since he confessed to Hailey and been transparent about how he's madly in love with her.

Besides, love is not a joke. But the greatest gift can give to someone your heart is beating for...
