The night ends well a warm and delicious dinner shared by the mother and son tandem. Yve"s meetings also went well that night and the company"s fully ready for their next project the following day. The following morning, Yve wakes up late and misses her breakfast. It"s about lunch when she finally gets off their bed with a hungry stomach.
"Why didn"t you wake me? I"m so famished now." Yve pouts as she sits on the man"s lap even if the latter was working and reading some papers.
Vince kisses her on the forehead before greeting her,
"Good noon, my Queen. I tried to wake you up to eat your breakfast but you said you wanted to sleep more."
"Oh. So do we have anything for lunch?"
"I can whip up something real quick. What do you want?" Vince asks his wife and puts the papers on top of his desk to caress Yve"s waist.
"Just prepare some sandwich."
"No way! Sandwich isn"t lunch. Let met cook pasta and garlic bread for you with fresh vegetable salad."
Then Vince heads to their kitchen with Yve being carried like a princess in his arms. He places Yve on top of one of the counters near where she can see him cook. As the pasta and break takes a while to cook, Vince gives Yve a gla.s.s of milk and a saucer of biscuits for Yve to munch in while waiting.
"American snacks, I see."
"Well, it"s not really an American. You just seen a lot of American movies and decides to call it that way."
Vince is preparing the ingredients needed for his dish while Yve just looks at him and drinks and eats. Yve has seen Vince cook a lot of times but she always love it. Ever since they were students, Vince has cooking as one of his hobbies and getting to eat them first has been her privilege.
Although there were times that Vince"s cooking wasn"t delicious, with constant practice, the man would get the ideal taste of the meal. Soon after that, he would recreate the dish with the procedures he is more comfortable with. Yve remembers how her dad told her that Vince"s wife is lucky have him as a husband. Now, here they are – husband and wife.
In the company, Sylvan is monitoring the final checking for their video release a few hours later. Everything is on standby. The editing team is in the process of editing the interview Lester had with the Sat.u.r.day group. They will give a copy to Lester tonight as they will release the clip Monday noon. Just the same routine they did with Hyacinth last week. However, the workload is twice as they have two releases.
For this project, Yve changed their days off to weekdays but as pa.s.sionate as the staff are, they still work over time. Yve instructed Sylvan beforehand to take note of this to give them the break they deserve once the project is over, whether they reach their goal or not they deserve a break.
The citizens are gearing up for another exciting and fresh treat from SkyMu but for Hu0026E it"s a big problem. They have tried to make their shows more enticing and reveal the artist way earlier making it less surprising but they also hired people to generate trends but seems like aside from the loyal fans, n.o.body else is talking about it.
"Sir, maybe we need to call Mr. Steve and ask for our next move? SkyMu is monopolizing the entertainment section as well as the social media. They"re not even doing a lot for their promotions." One of Hu0026E"s staff looks really worried.
But Steve"s secretary ignores his suggestion. The real truth is the secretary already called Steve a couple of times during the week to give him the updates. He even asks for a suggestion regarding Hu0026E but Steve is quiet about it. On the other hand, Steve tells him that securing the bidding in the international soil is more important than attempting to counter SkyMu"s project. His success or failure will cause bad ripples or calm water with their investors.
The secretary understands what he means so the latte tries to get everything inside Hu0026E going. They can still consider their project a success in terms of revenue but as for being a trendsetter and long term effect on their fame, not so.
Twelve hours late internationally, Steve is struggling to win the bidding. The largest and most famous company is competing and based on its records it has never lost a bid. Most of the times they don"t even need to bid as big projects are being served on their plate. The project Steve"s company is aiming is not big but quite important as well. He just never thought that a big company will try to bid for this project. He"s still unaware that it"s because of Vince why he"s having a hard time.
Team Bravo is already just a step away from winning the bid. The company president called them just after the meeting, that he likes their proposal and he"s feeling honored that they showed interest. He even explained that if he knew they will be interested in the project, he would have handed it to them easily. However, just to make sure they haven"t reported it to Vince on this matter.
Back in the country, Vince has just finished cooking. He places the pasta and garlic bread in a plate.
"Where do you want to eat this?"
"Maybe inside the study? You can resume your work and I can study while waiting for SkyMu updates." Yve smiles and walks away first with a tray of two gla.s.ses and a pitcher of fresh lemonade Vince prepared while waiting for the garlic bread earlier.
"Okay, but you"re going to study without fres.h.i.+ng up?" Vince teases her as they head to their study.
"Yeah. Why do you mind?" Yve turns around pouting.
"Of course, not. Then let"s go." Vince kisses the pouting Yve before walking past her to place her lunch on her desk.
Yve is now smiling as he pours a gla.s.s of juice and places it on top of Vince"s desk.
"Thanks for the lunch."
