HIS CONTRACTUAL MISTRESS

Chapter 328 - Madam Hilda Shen's Birthday Party (Eight)

Vincent finally came back with two plates of assorted desserts after he had difficulties choosing, and it was worth his efforts when Hailey's eyes widened with delight.

She quickly got a small fork and pinched a portion of cheesecake with blueberry jam on top.

When the cheesecake melted in her tongue, Hailee sighed with satisfaction. She looks up to smile at Vince. "Thank you, hubby."

"You're welcome. I asked a server to bring you bottled water," said Vince tenderly while putting a hand on Hailee's shoulder.

Not long after, a male server carried a tray with the bottled water and a clean glass. Vincent gestured to place them on the table, and then he dismissed the server.

Vincent opened the cap and poured the content into the clean glass..

"Hi, everyone!"

A beautiful woman in her early thirties approaches them, and she stops behind Sol and places her hands on the older lady's shoulders.

"Don't you feel cold, Ma?" asked the beautiful woman.

"Jessa... Don't worry, honey. The air conditioning in this hall is fine."

"Ah, great!" After Jessa talked to her mother, her attention shifted to Hailee and Vincent. She greeted them gleefully. "Hi, cousin! Hello, Hailee."

"Hi, Jess." Vincent greeted back...

Then Hailee nodded, parted her lips into a sweet smile. "Hello, Jessa."

"Guys, I have something to talk to you about." Jessa is hesitant to bring it up, but she takes this opportunity to talk to her cousin Vincent and Hailee.

She went on, "Look, guys! My boss talked to me. He gave me a task to get your consent for an exclusive interview with my program. We know that every entertainment news and magazine in this world, including the fashion industry, has invited you already for an exclusive interview. Well... I am trying my shot to invite you both to my show. Actually, I am not that confident that you guys said yes just because we are a family."

Jesse laughed nervously; then she bit her lower lips as she continued, "But as a talk show host, I have this dream to interview you guys! So..."

Vincent and Hailee look at each other. It was Vincent who spoke up to ask a question. "If we agree, can the interview be held here in Metro City?"

"Yes, cousin! I know Hailee should avoid traveling a lot. And so, I ask Aunt Hilda's opinion first. She agreed I could have a tour of the Shen Mansion as a special feature in my show, and then we could pick out the perfect place inside the mansion to hold the interview recording. So, how was it?"

Jessa explains what will happen on the House Tour and then the question during the interview.

"We will prepare questions, but I will consult you guys if you approve of being questioned by these… Actually, after Mr. James Ryan informed me about this idea. It came to us to ask you guys very personal questions about how your relationship began and then if there are secrets in your family that the world hasn't known yet…."

After Jessa mentioned this, Vincent and Hailee shared a knowing look. They both know that Jessa's boss is Shun's very close friend. Besides, Shun is a part-owner of that TV Station in Mainland City where Jessa works as an International Actress and Model.

Jessa Lopez Schwarz is married to a Swiss businessman living in Mainland City to run his family's branch company, and she moves to the country after the marriage.

Now Vincent and Hailee had the same idea as why Jessa was appointed to invite them for an exclusive interview. It is all Shun's plans of exposing Vincent's real identity to the entire world.

Even so, they are given the say to reject the invitation. However, it was the best opportunity to reveal to the world the secret of the Shen family.

Hailee has already guessed that Shun came up with this idea to make things easy for Vincent once he took over the position in Davies Corporation as CEO.

By then, many people would raise an eyebrow for him to get the role so quickly because he is the great son-in-law.

'And so, maybe this is not a bad idea,' thought Hailee.

On the other hand, Vincent fell in deep thoughts if it was a great opportunity to show the world that he has no ulterior motive, but his love for Hailee is genuine.

"Cousin, if mom agreed, then I have no problem with it. However, this is all up to Hailee."

Vince accepted the interview to have a clarification on a few things. But if Hailee refuses, then that is fine for him. He and Hailee more likely chose a low profile. And so, this interview will reveal so many things about them.

Jessa was happy that Vincent gave her a positive response. However, it was, of course, up to Hailee if she would allow her to run the interview and answer such essential questions.

Everyone at that table was anxiously waiting for Hailee's response. Sol, who is not interested in everything in the entire world, got excited to hear that her daughter would interview Hailee.

If Hailee agreed, and the interview took place at the Shen Mansion, then she wanted to see what her daughter was doing all these years.

She knows she is doing acting and modeling and even hosting a talk show. But she wanted to see her in person while she did all of these things…

In her children's life, she was never there for them, and instead, she became a burden to her children. Despite her shortcomings as a mother, she was grateful that her children grew well and succeeded in their lives.

Meanwhile, Hailee has to reflect on it carefully. She had never accepted any invitation before; it will be the first time she appeared in a talk show interview.

In the past, the only interviews she accepted were through magazines and articles. She never appeared in any TV shows or lived interviews because she wanted to keep her secret identity.

After a long thought, Hailee glanced at Vince, and then she fixed her eyes to Jessa.

"Jess, this will be the first talk show I will ever appear to, and so I will talk to dad and my PR team first."

"I understood, Hailee. You can think about it first, of course." Jessa smiled at Hailee. She knew very well that Hailee Davies had never appeared in any TV interviews but rejected all tv show invitations, even those very famous TV shows in Hollywood.

She didn't expect Hailee would say yes. But why would she not try?

She may be recognized internationally; however, more famous actresses and supermodels are making names than her. There will be no harm, but there will be no result if she loses hope just like that.

"Alright! I'll go make a call to my boss and report the initial result of my first attempt to persuade you for an interview," said Jessa to Hailee and Vincent. "Catch you later, guys! Ma, I have to go outside to make a call. I will come back later. Brother Tyler..."

Every one of them nodded at her. She was excited to inform her boss about the possibility that she could persuade Hailee for an exclusive interview.

"Hello, Director Isagawa? Can I speak with Chairman Shun Crow?"
