93 Aftermath

The morning of the fateful meeting between Yve and Vince's mother has finally come. Yve woke up with Vince coming out from the bathroom. The both of them stayed the night at Vince's suite once again per Yve's request. But on Yve's mind, the real reason is that Vince looked so tired when he arrived from his office. Yve may not know why and didn't dare to ask the reason but one thing's for sure, something is bugging Vince. Still, she can wait until Vince will tell her what it is. That's shows how much she trusts Vince.

"You're awake now?" Vince asked her.

"Yes and I already ordered breakfast for us. By the way, I will be going to work today. I already informed Sylvan yesterday."

"Okay. As long as you're feeling better now. Just don't forget our dinner, okay?"

"Ugh...!!! I was trying to relieve myself from stress brought about my dinner. Why do you have to remind me?!" Yve jumped out from bed and hurriedly launched a series of strong taps on Vince's chest as Vince continues to laugh his way out.

Amidst all the fun they're having, both of them forgot that Vince was wearing nothing except the bath towel which is covering his lower part. Because of Yve's attacks and Vince's attempt to lessen the impact by stepping backwards, the knot of the towel loosen until it was totally removed. Yve finally noticed that something was stroking her below and decided to peek and saw what it is. But contrary to how she used to react, she cant' help but be in awe with the Vince's little soldier.

'Calling it Little would actually be an insult.' Yve thought.

Vince, on the other hand, notices how his Queen is staring at his priced weapon below and can't help it but get excited. A smirk formed from his face and asked his Queen,

"Liking what you see?"

Yve's face turned into bright cherry red as she finally snapped out of it and was about to make a run from it but Vince prevented her. Vince hugged her instead and whispered,

"It's only yours for the taking. Just give the order and I'll be happy to give it to you."

"Stop being so dirty so early in the morning, Vince." Yve finally escaped and run towards the toilet.

Vince finally knew that Yve is also lusting over him and somehow he is getting to her.

"I should finish my preparation as soon as possible." Vince said to himself.

Meanwhile, Yve inside the bathroom can't help but remember Vince.

'I don't think it will fit.' She thought and blushed.

'What were you thinking? You should just take a bath.' Yve's innocent side told her to.

After a while, Yve got out dressed herself formally. Vince was waiting for her in the dining area. Akwardly, Yve was silent and eating her share of food. To save his Queen some face, Vince didn't say anything and just continued to eat. Finally, Yve stopped eating.

"Vince, what time will the dinner be?"

"It will be at 7. Don't worry. I will pick you up and we'll head there together." Vince said.

"Okay."

Then as they were both to go to their respective work, Vince received a call. It was from Eybelle.

"Hello?"

"Primo, Secondo is not feeling okay. I think he drank so much and now, Slayne and I are on our way to the hospital."

"Okay! Got it! I'll be there. Tell me which hospital." Vince said and ended the phone call which worried Yve.

"Who's in the hospital?"

"It's Edward."

"Then let's go." Yve was about to run but Vince prevented her.

"I'll go while you head to SkyMu."

"But.."

"I know you're worried about Edward but you need to handle the aftermath of Hyacinth's successful music video. I can handle this."

"Okay, if you said so. But promise to call me if there's anything you need."

"Of course."

The two of them head out in their respective cars. Vince didn't want Yve to come with her because he knew exactly why Edward drank as this was not the first time that Edward did this. Precisely why he was at a loss on how to deal with Nyelle's betrayal.

Fully aware of the hearts she broke, Nyelle has been crying in her room a lot. All along she felt guilty with this job. Although it pays big time, she never liked sneaking behind people's back. Yet she badly needed the money. Later on, she thought that as long as no one will know about it and that Yve's and Airis' paths will not cross, everything will be fine.

Nyelle, looked at a picture and once more a tear fell from her eyes. The picture showed how happy she was with Yve, Edward and Vince.

"I'm very sorry."

These were the only words she continued to say as she cries another day away.

Meanwhile, Yve has arrived at the office and every one was clearly in high spirits after the success. As Yve was about to talk to Nyelle about how happy she was and why she wasn't at the party, she saw her office vacant. So she went to Sylvan's office.

"Ms. Yvory, you have arrived."

"Yes. But I don't see Nyelle anywhere. Did she tell you where she will be?"

Sylvan was caught on guard as he heard the question. That was when he realized that Vince hadn't said a word to Yve and Edward probably found about it through his reports. He needs to come up with a good reason.

"Hello, Sylvan are you okay?!" Yve asked him while waving her hands in front of him.

"Ah yes! She called for a leave and it's effective today. I thought she would inform you so I directly approve it. I'm sorry."

"No, it's fine. Maybe she has something going on with her mother. Thanks for telling me Sylvan. So, what's on my schedule for today?"

Sylvan then elaborated Yve's series of meetings. To begin with, she has one with the Training Department followed by a lunch meeting with Marketing Manager of one of the famous clothing line.

"It's really going to be a long day for me. I wonder how Edward is doing?" Yve whispered to herself as she head back to herself and start to work.
