The night passed by in a blink of an eye and when the sun woke up Yve, she turned to the other side to hide herself from the ray of the sun but then her man wasn't beside her. She instantly rose up thinking that she woke up late yet when she looked at her phone, it was still six.
"Where is Vince?" She asked herself.
Still in her night gown, she went out of her room and looked around the house. To her dismay, she couldn't find Vince. She was about to look outside the house when Vince arrived.
"Where have you been?"
"Where are you going?"
Both of them asked each other at the same time. Vince answered first.
"I went around the village to get my round of exercise."
It was only after Vince explained that Yve realized Vince's gym look and sweat was clearly on his face and body.
"How about you? Where do you want to go looking like that?" Vince asked back.
"Looking like that? Looking like..."
Hinted by the lusftful look from Vince's eyes, Yve took notice of how she look. She covered herself with her hands right away. Vince can't help but smile at how naive Yve can be sometimes.
"Don't worry because as long as you're inside these walls, no one else will see you."
Vince hold Yve's shoulders to turn her around and pushed her back to the house.
"I thought you were..."
"Yve, look at me."
Yve's face looked up to meet Vince's pair of eyes. If only his eyes were given a mouth, it might have said a thousand words to express the emotions inside. Without a single sound coming out from Vince's mouth, Yve understood it. She just can't express how sorry she was for doubting Vince for a second. So she hugged Vince and said,
"I'm sorry."
Vince embraced her back to let her know that it was fine. They stayed like that for awhile before Yve said something outrageous.
"I love you but you're really sticky now. You should take a bath first."
"STICKY?!"
Without any warning, Vince starts to tickle Yve on the areas that he knew were sensitive for his partner. Yve ran as fast as she can to avoid the tickle attack but amidst their fun, she felt dizzy all of a sudden and had to sit down in one of the couch. There was a change in the atmosphere as the pinkish aura turned into the black and white filled with worry.
"Are you okay?"
Vince asked as he handed Yve a wet towel to put on her forehead. Yve nodded in response as she placed the towel and eased the hotness.
"Maybe I shouldn't have done that." Vince repented.
Seeing her King down and worried, she grabbed his hand and urged him to sit down beside her.
"You don't have to feel sorry for what you did. I enjoyed what happened. It took me back to the past where laughing was a common thing for me. The doctor even said that I might be experiencing dizziness every now and then during my medication period."
"But knowing that, I shouldn't have made you run around."
"Then you won't get to see me smile this early in the morning." Yve said as she placed Vince's hand on her cheek and leaned on it.
"Now, while I'm calming myself down, you should take a shower now and get ready for work."
"But who would..."
"We'll be here to watch over her, boss." Chrysthe said as he entered the residence with Jaleb.
"And to make sure she won't be moving around, I'll also cook breakfast." Jaleb added.
"Chrysthe and Jaleb." Yve wasnt' able to utter anything else in amusement at their perfect timing.
"That will be good." Vince said and kissed Yve's forehead before whispering something else.
"Someday, I'll let you experience how sticky I can be."
The pink color flushed across Yve's face after hearing Vince's sentence. Jaleb and Chrysthe can only shake their heads off to erase the jealousy they felt in their hearts.

in a French restaurant
--
Hyacinth and the crew are preparing to film the music video but everyone was anxious if Yve will be able to make it. She was just released from the hospital after all. Hyacinth clearly understood this as she has been in the industry for a long time. It is rare to see how motivated the staff from SkyMu and the reason is apparent - Yve's management skills.
"Team, with or without Ms. Yvory today, we need to do our best. If she's feeling perfectly fine, then I'm sure she will come. If not, then we must show her the best music video we can in that way she will have nothing to worry except her recovery." Hyacinth encouraged them all.
"Hyacinth is right. Now, team, let's all head back to work." The music director said.
To Hyacinth's relief, the staff believed in her words and their energy where replenished. Deep inside her heart, she would like to see Yve on the set, too. She sees Yve as her president and friend. But like what she said, she have to show to everyone that she is't affected.
Meanwhile, Yve arrived outside with Jaleb and Chrysthe beside her. Seeing that everyone was busy made her feel happy. It seems like she doesn't need to worry about them. The manager of the restaurant recognized her and welcomed her.
"Ms. Yvory, thank you for choosing to feature our restaurant."
"You're welcome. I've been a fan of the interior of your restaurant." Yve humbly said.
It wasn't a lie. She haven't eaten there and so she doesn't know the quality of your food. Her sentence wasn't to be estimated. This put her two bodyguards on alert mode since they understood the meaning behind Yve's response. But to their relief, the manager gave a positive answer.
"If you would allow us, Ms. Yvory, the lunch and dinner of the artists and crew are on us. This is a thank you for the instant promotion."
A smile flashed Yve's face and answered, "I'd be greatly honored. I'll leave it to your capable hands then."
The two leaders exchanged handshakes leaving one of the gentlemen in disbelief.
Jaleb whispered to Chrysthe.
"Are you really sure that Ms. Yvory didn't study finance, marketing or anything related to business?"
"Don't you believe Secondo's research?" Chrysthe asked back.
"I do but this was just amazing."
"Yeah, I know! You'll be more amazed at what she can do. It's like she can excel at anything." Chrysthe explained.
The manager opened the door for Yve. Because of the chime at the door, the staff and crew looked at her direction. They were all shocked and wasn't able to move an inch or say anything.
Yve was about to laugh but she stopped herself knowing it would be rude to them so she just jokingly said,
"You all look at me like I'm a ghost."
"MS. YVORY!!!!" Everyone shouted her name and their smiles flashed at their faces.
Hearing the cheers from the dressing room, Hyacinth went to the dining to check and saw Yve. She was more than happy to see her. Both Hyacinth and the director approached Yve.
"Good to see that you can make it here, Ms. Yvory." The director said.
"Of course. This is the biggest project of SkyMu as of the moment. This also marks the turning point of Hya's career." Yve answered.
"Are you fine now?" Hyacinth asked.
"Fine to be a president again but just to be safe I hired these two to be my bodyguard." Yve lied. Since Hyacinth doesn't know about her relationship with Vince, she was left with no other choice.
"If I was also attacked, I would do the same thing." Hyacinth said.
Seeing that her arrival has fully motivated them, Yve said....
"Then let's make sure to feast their eyes and ears on Hyacinth's latest music video."
"YES!!" The loud cheer and laughter echoed in the restaurant before their resumed to their respective works.
"An amazing woman indeed." Jaleb exclaimed.
