<h4>Chapter 213 - Negotiation</h4>


    Vince looked at Hailey with astonishment. Then, after a moment of his silence, he poked her nose and uttered, "Wifey… If you like it, I would love to give it to you."


    "But, hubby…. You have just said you will spend it on our wedding. So, let me be the one to buy it. If you do not sell it to me, then ept my contribution for our wedding expenses..." She sounded threatening to him instead of offering help.


    "Not!" Vince snaps at her immediately. She sounded threatening to him instead of offering help. But he could tell that she is also serious about it. He promised himself that he would shower her with luxurious things. And so, there''s no way he''ll let her pay for the car.


    "It will be my responsibility to shoulder our wedding expenses," he told Hailey.


    "Okay, hubby." She won''t question if Vince acted stubbornly. However, she doesn''t want to get something for free. "How if I wanted to negotiate about that, and we made a deal. Can I be the one to offer you something this time, huh?"


    "Wifey… You''ve already done a lot for me—for example, your investment in MCGC. And then, the gift for mom. That was too much already. So, I don''t want to negotiate this time," Vince said firmly. Hailey pouted at him; he mumbled to himself, ''She acted cheekily!''


    However, Hailey won''t give up. "Hubby, this is a different story. What I did.… I did it with all my heart. If you wanted to repay me... Well, you canpensate me by giving yourself to me. How about that? But at least let me buy the car. Could you please?"


    "Well, it looks like that is the only choice I have." Vince sighed, feeling defeat.


    Butter on, his eyes glimmer with pleasure. How can he say no? She is purring like a kitten inside his chest. She''s using her seductive tone for him to be powerless.


    "I could tell now. Hailee Davies is as stubborn as this while Hailee Hillson is such a temptress…." he muttered.


    He referred to that name as she was showing off her money to him. On the one hand, he must notin. But, on the other hand, he is going to marry a billionaire woman. No, she actually has trillions.


    She has more money than him, that''s the fact. But he knew that Hailey Hillson tried not to show off as much, not to step into his pride as a man. This girl is actually considerate, giving respect to him as the man in this rtionship.


    Never leaving her eyes at his intense gaze, Hailey could not bring herself tough. But of course, this isn''t the moment to do that.


    Vince is serious about giving her a grand wedding, and she is very pleased about that.


    In fact, there''s nothing she couldin about, even his divorce, because someone is meddling in between them. But that person can no longer trouble them. So, Vince''s divorce is just a matter of time.


    "Let''s settle all of our work tomorrow, then let''s go back to Australia the next day. How about that?" Hailey proposed to Vince.


    Upon Hailey mentioning the Australia n, a series of events shes in his memory. Vince sat down on the hood of his car as he wrapped his arms around Hailey''s waist. He remains to stare at Hailey as likely scenarios ying inside his head.


    "Tell me, boss. How did you sign the contract you offered me when I was in Australia, but you were in Metro City? Did you do it by sneaking around?"


    Hailey did not retort to him. But the glow in her eyes, and that grin she tried to conceal, is evident. This girl needs to reveal more things to him!


    "Can you tell me with details, please?" Vince lifted one eyebrow as his facial expression turned solemn.


    However, Hailey could not hold it anymore; she wasughing so hard as guilt hit her. "Don''t worry, Hubby. I will confess to you everything. But for now, we have to leave before my knights'' notice I''m gone. And since you sold the car to me. Care if I drive?"


    ''Damn. I''m going to marry this girl. Why do I have to ask her knight''s permission to be alone with her?'' he grumbled on his head.


    "Alright, Wifey. But be prepared…." Vince lifted his right hand, ced it around Hailey''s nape, and gently pulled her head for him to whisper in her ear. "I''m going to spank you hardter."


    She bites her lip when Vince''s left palm is gripping tight on her ass cheek. His sexy voice causes her knees to be out of strength. Hailey closed her eyes as she lowered her face to taste those lips that now have be a sweet talker.


    If they weren''t in the parking lot, they probably already made love. However, as of this moment, the SWAT TEAM and Metro City Police have surrounded the Shen Tower. Actually, it should be a peaceful operation. But suddenly, more police and agents arrive in the area, including the city mayor, Samuel Lopez, to exin the current happenings in Shen Tower.

    Meanwhile, back at Hailey''s office, Pitt has been knocking on the door. However, Hailey isn''t responding nor opening the door. "Should we leave them alone?"


    "Maybe it''s best if we don''t bother them yet," Bruce suggested.


    "But I want the princess to be checked since Paramedic is here." Pitt turned around and spoke to Brent and Bruce, whom both the guy only shrugged their shoulders.


    Pitt heaves a sigh. He turned around and faced the door once again and knocked while he shouted, "Princess! There is a doctor here. Please let us in to check on you! Or else, I will kick this door open!"


    However, still, no one is answering. Pitt pressed his ear on the door. But there''s no movement he could hear.


    "I guess I have to kick this damn door now!"


    "Then, lemme do the honor." Brent offered; he prepared to kick the door. But before he could lift his foot, Bruce stops him, and they listen to their earphones.


    Bruce is currentlymunicating with the knights that were watching the Security Room. "What? Did you spot the princess and Mr. Shen in the parking lot?"


    "Yes. They were in the emergency corridor." The emergency corridor is a separate room in the parking lot. More likely a secret zone just made for emergencies.


    "Alright. Thanks." Bruce responded. He then nced at Pitt and Brent.


    Pitt immediately takes out his phone from his coat pocket to check the surveince camera in that room. Now they were seeing the couple making out at the moment.


    "Damn. They sure are carefree," said Pitt; he gestures at Bruce to borrow his phone.


    Bruce handed his phone and watched Pitt searching his contact. When he saw a familiar number under the name Princess, he pressed the call sign and waited for Hailey to answer.


    "Dammit! Like we didn''t see them!" Pitt grumbled while impatiently waiting for the call to connect. ''I''m going to beat this guy! He should have priority for the Princess to get a check-up!''
