His Contractual Mistress

Chapter 162 - Gigi Chan: My Darling (Three)

"So, what business brings you here, Mr. Huo?" asked Tom. His gaze did not leave Galvin, who he often glanced at his hand that intertwined with Gigi's fingers.

Galvin withdrew his gaze from their hand. He clears his throat, emptied his glass, and poured another wine. Later on, he lifted his gaze and met Tom's mocking stare. He's thinking, if only they were at S Country, he already killed this man. But right now, he must control his temper.

It was apparent that Tom was trying to provoke him, and whatever the guy is doing was effective. Galvin glanced at Gigi one more time before his gaze shifted to the guy he wanted to kill soon.

"I think it's none of your business, Mr. Morris." Galvin returned; he sharpened his gaze after Tom contorted a smirk on the corner of his mouth. The guy won to anger him.

"Come on. We both know what business you are interested in, Mr. Huo." Tom asserted. He watched how Galvin is throwing daggers at him, which he only enjoyed his reaction.

Galvin pursed his lips flatly, and with a stern voice, he said, "Then nothing you need to ask, Mr. Morris."

"Don't get me wrong, Mr. Huo. I'm just well aware that your family is expanding their territories. Is marrying Senator Gu's daughter would strengthen your influence? I don't think so."

Gigi raises her head. She glanced at Tom before she looked at Lory Gu. She doesn't like how Tom sounded mocking, but she could not help snorting from amusement. She stared at Lory and mumbled to her head, 'Poor girl.'

Then, she glanced at Galvin, and she felt disgusted staring at his face. Her ex-husband is using the same tactics as what he did to her family.

After the Huo family strengthens West Asia by marrying her as the daughter of the Chan family, and then the South, they plan to take the Oceanic Continent.

And the wealthiest and powerful Lord is Jacob Davies; that is why Liam pursued Hailey. At that time, Hailey is turning 22, who has no idea about the Underground World.

After she was introduced to that world, she was trained by her cousin, the Mafia Emperor; since then, Hailey gradually became mature and adapted to the ways of the Mafia Association.

But Hailey is not fond of bloody fights. So she built her army, and these men were called Knights. And later then, she built Davies Group in western Australia, a sister company of her dad's corporation.

But still, Hailey wanted to build an empire run by women. And that is how DV Gem became the foundation of the women's association.

Hailey wins the Chan family in West Asia through her. Not only that, she got Middle East support through the Varghese daughter, Kelly.

And in North Asia, Cassandra Young, Shun Crow's wife.

Then recently, she has South-East Asia by winning over the Javier and Hanes family through Leticia Javier and Dana Hanes.

Even though Hailey already said that she would never join the Mafia Association, it doesn't mean she won't create her own legal association in the form of women.

And her stand would even become strong if she will win the Lopez and Shen family, one of the most powerful families in Southeast Asia.

Actually, it was just by a snap of her finger. But Hailey wanted the hard way. And as what Hailey told her...

"I just fell in love with Vince. I don't care about the Underground World nor the Business World. My love for him is separate from these worlds. It's just me. The ordinary Hailey Hillson."

The name Davies is a huge name both in Mafia Association and Business World.

However, in the end, Hailey has to get involved in both worlds. Besides, she could not keep her secret identity forever.

But then, someone wanted Vince dead. And some of the evidence pointing to Mafia movements. Now that Liam appeared in P Country, Hailey suspects that it was him who plotted everything. Liam even uses people to go against Vince.

Gigi snaps herself from falling into deep thoughts again. But now that she came back to her senses, she couldn't help rolling her eyes when the two men wrestled with gaze once again.

Why does his husband don't want to stop showing that he still wants her back? She would be more at peace if Galvin treated her like she didn't exist in the world. In that way, she is more at ease.

Like now, the tension she is feeling further increases with each passing time. She may have ignored looking into Galvin's direction, but she could feel his sharp glares throwing at Tom and burning stares at her face occasionally.

Gigi glanced at Tom. He's not finished eating yet, and in what she sees, he is intentionally eating slowly! He is not in a hurry at all!

'Ah! What is the planning?'

Tom noticed that she was staring at him again. He scooped a spoonful of coleslaw salad and offered it to her, but she refused this time.

"I should not eat a lot tonight. I have a fitting by 8:30," she told Tom.

"Oh, your dress for the launching of the DV Gem branch store here in Asia. There will be a red carpet and a lot of media following that event."

"Yes. So the measurement should be precise. Hm?"

"Hmm. Okay. But still, I'll order some midnight snacks later," said Tom with a meaningful smile playing on his lips.

"Are you going to fatten me?" she snaps, glaring at the guy playfully.

"Nope. But it would help if you had some energy tonight." Tom said, then he winked at her.

Gigi could feel her cheeks burning after she understood what Tom meant with his remarks.

'And what is his deal this time!? This guy is becoming shameless! We're not close!'

Meanwhile, Galvin darkened his face watching his ex-wife flirting with someone else. On the sideline, Lory soured her face. She could see that Galvin still has a feeling toward his ex-wife.

"DV Gem… So, you are also attending the party, Miss Chan?" Lory Gu couldn't stay silent tonight. She asks Gigi which. She cast a downward look at her.

The girl is arrogant, the reason Gigi doesn't want to speak with her. But she needed to give a simple nod at least.

"Oh, well, I'll be attending as well," Lory said proudly. She even lifted her chin. "Galvin wanted me to place an order for our wedding band!"

Gigi smiled and said, "Congratulations then!"

Lory felt annoyed. How could she make this woman jealous of her? She's also from a wealthy family and a famous fashion icon like her. But Galvin remains fond of his ex-wife!

"Thank you, Miss Chan." Lory barely smiled as she's even felt annoyed toward Galvin's ex-wife.

"Yes. I'll see you on Saturday. I hope you like my wedding band designs. I could show you our new collection." Gigi smiled.

Lory creases her forehead, confusion written all over her face why Gigi Chan claimed that she designed for GV Gem.

"It seemed like you didn't know that my darling is co-owner of DV Gem, Miss Gu," said Tom while his eyes never left Gigi as he planted a kiss on the back of her palm.

Lory dropped her jaw. She knew that Gigi Chan is from a wealthy family, but she didn't expect that she is one of the founders of DV Inc.

Of course. DV Inc is a famous tale among High Societies anywhere in the world. Although no one knew the five women who founded it, she looked up at them. But never in her wildest dream that Galvin's ex-wife is one of these women!

Lory pursed her lips and remained silent. She could only stare at Gigi, who sat up from her chair and left with her boyfriend.

"I'm sorry. But we have to go. My designer is on his way to show me his dresses." said Gigi to Liam, then she glanced at Lory, who lost her tongue all of a sudden.

"Good night, Mr. Huo. See you around." Tom didn't wait for Galvin Huo to respond; he placed his arm around Gigi's waist and guided her toward the exit door.

Gigi breathes with a sigh of relief after they step inside the elevator. She's glad that her act is over.

"I didn't get much information," she mumbled between sighs.

"Don't worry. We got enough information," said Tom.

Gigi looks up, and her eyes meet his gorgeous eyes. She realized that she was hugging Tom while his hand is clutching her waist. This must be the effect when her knees tremble the moment she sat up from the dining chair.

But her knees didn't shake because of her ex-husband. It was because of some other guy.

Shrugged off the awkwardness she's feeling at the moment, she asked the guy. "Really? What information?"

"That Galvin Guo and Liam Guo will be there at the launching event," said Tom.

Gigi pondered for a moment, then utter, "But no men were allowed inside the hall. It will be only an all-female event."

"Yes. But they will be nearby because of the Gu family influences."

"Huh! That man! I hate him! He always has a lot of dirty tricks on his sleeves!"

"Yeah. So we also need the help of your business partners' influences."

"Are you talking about Senator Javier?"

Tom added, "And Congressman Vazques. You need to request more security."

"And the security who will be there are Hailey's knights!" Gigi had guessed.

"Yes. That's the plan."

"Hm. Alright. Then I have nothing to fear about." Somehow, she felt at ease hearing this news.

"Of course. You have nothing to fear as long as you are here by my side, or I was by your side."

"Huh?" Wait… 'Why was I pinned on the wall, and this man's lips are so close to me? Why am I always distracted when he is around? '

Hail, I need to talk to you!
