Davies Corporation?
In the past few days that Vincent was busy dealing with documents and designing the store for Andre's gift to his soon-to-be-wife, he did not forget to oversee the renovation of Hailee's office by himself.
The conference room was taken down and connected with the Chairman's old office; now, it becomes one room with two offices inside.
Between these adjoining offices is a lounge with a vast floor-ceiling window to have a full view of the Sydney coastline. In the middle are two long sofas, two single couches, and a long coffee table, while the two doors are on the left and the right.
Based on his wife's taste, Vincent gathered the information of Hailee's offices as references.
The lounge was copied from her Dubai office. It was a rich and exquisite design, except for the theme colors. This time it was a combination of gold, metallic black, and pink theme colors. Feminine, yet the metallic black shows her authority, while his office is marbled white with gold and metallic brown.
Vincent never imagined he would design an office for him and his wife in the same room within the same company. Four years ago, all in his mind was putting up restaurants and cafes for his wife to manage.
He is determined to find Hailee again, and everything he puts up in the passing years is for her. He already made a plan that she would be her boss on her own once she married him. But she is already the boss, his boss!
He will instantly transfer all the restaurants and residential towers he owns.
But it turned out, she is already the boss. His very own boss for real!
It may sound insane, but the very first time his eyes laid on his wife, he immediately felt that she was the missing piece of his soul.
Thinking of that, Vincent unconsciously smiled to himself. The workers looked at one another after seeing that. Since they started working in the princess's office, her husband meticulously eyed the details. He personally get the measurements to ensure that the floors were even, not his wife to stumble on her heels.
He is an architect, but he does the engineer's job. Anyway, they understood him. This boss is just a perfectionist when it comes to his wife. He wanted to handle things himself.
"Mr. Shen, Miss Tiffany is here."
Vincent turned around and looked at Tina and Tiffany Lynch, the Senior Chief of Davies' Interior Designing team he summoned.
"Good. Let us take a seat." Vincent invited the two ladies to the lounge and asked Tim to serve them coffee.
"Mr. Shen, I can prepare it for us..." Tina instantly volunteered, but Vincent waved his hand to stop her and gestured for Tim to go.
"Tim can do it." Honestly, he could ask Miss Brown to serve them some snacks. But he dismissed the thought.
Tina and Tiffany looked at each other. They did not expect the boss would be this considerate, or, to say, gentleman.
He has his reason for inviting these two girls, and that is to consult them with something. And once he spoke again, they finally understood.
"I want to talk to the two of you about my wife as her friends, so you know more about what she likes. Her office is about to finish, so I want you to decorate it, Miss Lynch."
"Sure, Mr. Shen! I will quickly work on it." Tiffany assured, honored to have her special task. It will be easier, as she was the one who decorated Hailee's offices—the DV Inc. and Davies Group.
"Great to hear that... Miss Tina, I want you to assist Miss Lynch if she needs anything."
"I will, sir," Tina responded.
Soon, Tim came back with a tray. He first poured his boss a coffee before the two girls. If they had not known he was engaged to Nancy, they would love to tease and flirt with him. But since Pitt was taken, they have to keep their hands on themselves.

Later that afternoon, delivery arrived in Davies Corp. Vincent curled his forehead, looking at the painting.
"Wait! I knew this place! Don't tell me?" Hailee looks at Vincent, eyes twinkling with joy.
The painting is a garden of daisies. Its background is the scenery of a small town with a church near an ocean.
"It was a gift from Theo and his wife."
"Ah! It was Nikki's place! The White House."
Hailee suddenly recalled her memories when she attended Violet's first birthday party held in Remy Town.
She visited Shun and Cassandra, and the next day the family went to the town to attend the exclusive gathering.
The world is truly small for all of them. Vincent is a wonderful friend of Theo, and she is with Nikki.
"Let's visit the place one day," Hailee suggested.
"We will..." Vincent nodded his head with glee. Thinking of going places with his wife has been such a joy in his heart.
Hailee looked at Vincent with wonder when he suddenly jumped off of the bed and rushed toward his study, and when he came back, there was a metallic black notebook in his hand.
"Hubby?" She had this puzzlement written on her face.
Vincent smiled at his wife. He lowered his head as he wrote something in the notebook.
"I am writing our bucket list," he finally replied to his wife, who instantly flickered her eyes as she heard his husband making plans for their trips soon.
"Do you think we should do that on our first wedding anniversary?"
Vincent contemplated it. He and Hailee had only a quick honeymoon because of her pregnancy. It was not advisable for her to travel much for a while until she gave birth.
"Mrs. Shen, since you want us to get married once again on our first wedding anniversary? Then, let us have our honeymoon traveling the world."
"Thank you, hubby!" She felt elated just thinking about it.
She cannot wait for the time to come too soon!

Vincent was extra happy that morning.
However, when he walked into the company lobby, a crowd gathered inside.
"What is going on here?" Vincent asked the employees around.
"Mr. Shen!" Everyone steps on the side to give way. The lobby suddenly fell silent after they realized that the big bosses had arrived.
"Why is everyone still in the lobby?" It was Jacob who queried. "Aren't work will start soon?"
"Sir..." Before the chairman's secretary could reply, someone yelled among the crowd. Everyone looked in that man's direction, and they found it was Director Hayes.
"Vincent Shen! How dare you beat up my son to death!"
Even after being accused, Vincent still looked so calm. He didn't even flinch when the director pointed a finger at him.. Instead, the crowd heard him snorting.
