The short kiss turns into a long yet sweet one. Vince finally reacts and pulls Yve to deepen the kiss. Yve smiles and let Vince inside her mouth. The kiss they are sharing at the moments erases all of Yve's doubts. She is indeed ready to give herself to Vince. She will give it to him at a right moment. .Vince is finally sure that Yve is comfortable with kissing him. He thinks that if he initiates to, Yve might give herself to him at last. However, now isn't the appropriate time. He will do it when both of them aren't busy. He wants their first time to be sweet, serene and perfect.
'Maybe during our vacation in two weeks?' Vince uttered in silence as he ends the gentle kiss on the lips and placing a short one on Yve's forehead.
"If this is how you will always wake me up, then I'd rather sleep longer." Vince whispers.
"You just fooled me and made fun of me early in the morning." Yve slightly taps Vince's chest.
"But you responded and didn't push me." Vince smiles as he pulls Yve into his embrace.
"Stop fooling around. We need to get ready for the launch. Breakfast is ready." Yve reminds her husband.
"I understand. Let's go down now because the glam team will come any moment from now." Vince gently pushes Yve so he can fix the bed and head to their dining table together.
After eating breakfast together, they prepare themselves for the event. Before the couple realizes, the glam team places their magic.
"You're really beautiful, Mrs. Gray. We only used light make-up on you to further show your grace and elegance." Yve's make-up artist says as she finishes the final touch on Yve's lips.
"Thank you for the compliments and for making my make-up light. To be honest I'm not very comfortable with thick make-up." Yve sincerely thanks the glam team.
"You're really beautiful, Mrs, Gray. Let's go to the mall now before my cousin calls me again." Vince approaches her slowly from their bedroom door.
"Yes, I think we should do that." Yve stands up and holds Vince's hand as they leave the room and go outside the house where their car is waiting for them.
Different news and media outlets are already waiting outside the mall anticipating the arrival of Mr. and Mrs. Gray. Sylvan is also getting busier inside the mall doing the last minute check of the project. Edward arrives to check on them.
"Let's do this, everyone. Sylvan is here as a representative of Ms. Yve. But don't be sad, she's actually coming to oversee this event. So let's make sure to make this a success." Edward informs the entire staff.
"Yes, Sir! Thank you very much for the trust and support."
Jenny, on the other hand, is watching the live television coverage from the local entrepreneur channel. She's adores Vince and wants the latter to be hers despite the ongoing competition of the man with her brother.
"I wonder how will Mr. Gray look today?" Jenny murmurs to herself while watching the show with her breakfast on the table.
Her excitement reaches its highest peak when the man she wants to see is finally flashed on the screen getting off the car. However, it falls lowest when Vince opens the other car door for none other than Yve, his wife and the person she doesn't want to see the most.
"Look! Mr. Vincent Gray has finally arrived outside and this time his wife, Mrs. Yvory Smith-Gray is with him." The reporter narrates in a smaller section in the live show.
"This is the first official appearance of Mrs. Yvory Smith-Gray and she chooses a project under her family's empire." Another reporter informs her audience through the camera facing her.
"Finally, the couple has graced us with their presence in an official event. Both of them are wearing a Chinese themed outfit with a dragon and phoenix embroidered in them." This time an entertainment reporter captures the events in camera.
Jenny who has lost her appetite continues to watch the show to see Vince and scrutinize how Yve isn't worthy to be called as Mrs. Gray.
"The couple is now walking towards the entrance of the mall. They turn around and cameras are flashing all over them trying to get the best shot of the most powerful couple in the city. One of our reporters is around them, let's listen in."
"Mr. and Mrs. Gray just a short interview please."
"You will have a chance later. Just reserve your questions." Edward answers in behalf of the couple as both Vince and Yve walks toward the mall.
But the reporter is very keen on getting his questions answered, so he just blurts out his question.
"Mrs. Yvory Smith-Gray, can you tell the reason for your sudden appearance?"
This question causes Yve to stop walking but Vince whispers to her,
"You can answer the question later."
"But then the question isn't related to the project. I didn't expect they would be more curious about my appearance. I don't want it to happen. Let me answer just this question before we head in." Yve whispers back.
With full understanding of his wife's reason and intention turns around with her. This action results to having the mass-com to crowd around them more. Confused, Edward looks at his cousin just to see the latter agreeing to a short interview.
"Let me answer that question. It is indeed my first appearance as Mrs. Gray. I never thought there was a need to keep everyone updated of our relationship. I married Vince for who he is behind this fame and power. I would like to keep our relationship as private as possible." Yve looks at the reporter.
"Is this a sign that we will be showing more of you?"
"It depends. I accepted my husband's invitation to attend this event because this mall is one of the companies under the umbrella of Stones Enterprises. You can say that you can see me often with events tied to Stones, but not all the time."
The camera shutters continues to click in front of them.
"Now that I have answered your questions, I would like to request something from all of you, media staff for this event."
There is no response from them but they are actively waiting to what Yve has to say.
"Today's event is for the launch of the mall's new interior display design layout. I hope your questions will focus on that. Thank you very much." Yve slightly bowed before walking away from them with Vince just a step behind her.
