The following morning, Vince was woken up by Yve's ringtone. The lady in question is nowhere in sight. He looked outside and saw that Jaleb was also gone. He checked his phone and saw a message from Jaleb.
"Ms. Y is out for a jog. I am accompanying her."
Seeing the text, he sighed in relief and went back to pick up her phone.
"Sylvan…"
"Primo, where is the Miss?"
"She's out on a jog. Is there anything wrong for you to call this early?"
"The Miss has been called to the Stones Board Meeting."
Vince wasn't shocked when he heard the news because he had a hunch that would be the next step. Still, he can't give a response to Sylvan as Yve hasn't made up her mind.
"What time will the meeting be?"
"Ten in the morning, Primo."
"Okay. I'll inform her. In the meantime, don't give any answer to them. I will definitely receive an information."
"Yes, Primo."
"What was that?" Yve curiously asked which made Vince turned around.
"Sylvan?" He answered but sounded like a question. He tried to read Yve's expression to figure out her decision but failed.
"Why are asking me?" Yve smiled at him and went to the closet to get a new set of towels. Then she walked back and asked,
"What did he say?"
"Uhmm…."
"Does it have something to do with Stones Enterprises?" Yve asked.
Vince nodded in agreement and said, "Have you made a decision?"
"Hmmm… But I want to ask you something." Yve said and approached him closer than ever.
Their foreheads touch and Vince can clearly see the tiny drops of sweat falling from her neck deep into the gym clothes she's wearing. Vince can't help but feel hot at the scenery in front of him. As Yve's height forced him to bow down a little bit, his eyes can't stop themselves from looking lower, down to the places they have to see yet without any cover. Yve seemed to realize this and though she's blushing, she stopped herself.
"Vince, I'm about to ask you something serious but you're preventing me from doing so." Yve protested.
Vince cupped her face to keep it in place and responded, "How am I stopping you? Go on."
Yve gulped her own saliva and earned a smirk from Vince.
'She's finally feeling the same as what I feel. I want her to be mine fully.' Vince thought and kissed Yve.
He touched her lips as if asking for an entry. With a soft bite, Yve opened her mouth and in that moment, Vince explored Yve's mouth. He's definitely hungry and his Queen feels exactly the same. He felt his Queen's hands wrapped around his neck as her tongue danced to the beat that his own is dictating. With her hands fully clasped unto him, he carried her without breaking the kiss. He smoothly proceed with the action that Yve didn't notice any changes not until she was on top of the bed.
"Vince…." Yve whispered and Vince heard it instantly.
He knew that it's a sign that they should stop and he respected that. To end their sweet moment, he kissed Yve's forehead. He was about to stand up but Yve pulled him back causing him to fall onto her.
"Yve?"
"I didn't mean to!" Yve instantly protested.
"Okay? So?" Vince asked.
"Uhmmm…. Will you come with me to the Stones Enterprises today?"
Vince smiled and kissed Yve's forehead again. "No need to ask. I will be there anyway as one of the Board Members." Then he stood up.
Yve sat down and said, "Not that!"
Vince turned his head around and with his brows showing confusion, he asked,
"What do you mean?"
"Will you take care of the company until I'm ready? Will you be the CEO of Stones Enterprises?"
Vince approached her once more and looked at her eyes.
"You know I would be happy to do everything for you. But are you sure about this?"
"Hmm… I have no one to trust with this company. Besides, just temporary. I'm planning to change my degree and study business instead while managing SkyMu."
Vince sat down beside her and urged her to continue.
"I need to have at least a training ground and SkyMu will be perfect. I like music and I will not find it as stressful as managing the main company during my studies. Once I finish, I will manage the company and you can focus on Gray Group."
"Yve, there's no need to worry. I promise to take care of the company to the best of my abilities. There's no need for you to rush. I was ready for a merge with the two corporations from the moment I talked to your father."
"I have a hunch you would say that. But I don't want you to shoulder the burden alone. I'll be happy as long as I'm with you, CEO or not. I'm sure of it!"
Vince wrapped his hands around her and whispered in her ears, "I will always be here at your disposal."
"I will never dispose you because I will always need you by my side." Yve whispered back.
After the sweet embrace, the two lovebirds get ready for Stones Enterprises board meeting.
