14 In his office (1/2)
(BACK TO THE PRESENT)
YVE's POV
What was that dream about? Why did I dream about the happy times with my family? I looked at the time and it was already 2:30 in the afternoon. I didn't let Vince drop me off my apartment so I went with him to the office. He will not let me ride the public transportation and since I was sleepy, I decided to sleep in the lounge.
Right now, I feel so hungry then I remembered the food from Vince's apartment. I walked towards the cafeteria when I saw Vince heading the same way. I was about to turn around and run away when,
”Yve? Did you eat your dinner?”
I stopped in my tracks and decided to answer him, ”Yes, but I forgot something so I will go get it first. Later.”
After my answer I move as fast as I can away from him but I failed. He is in front of me and said, ”I thought you will not stay away from me? Why are you running away just now?”
I looked up and met his eyes. He looked so sad and I regretted my action just now.
”I'm sorry. I promised it but I'm not ready to fulfill it in front of many employees, in this building, in our workplace.”
He looked so confused so I further explain.
”Look, Vince, this is our workplace. You are the boss and I am an employee. I don't want other people to think that I'm clinging to you or trying to get your attention just to improve my position or anything.”
He bent down to reach my level and asked, ”Are you?”
”OF COURSE NOT!!!”
”Then don't mind about them. We both know what is the reason and that's all that matters.”
”Do we?” I asked him.
He patted my head and combed my hair using his hand. He looked at his secretary and gestured to walk towards us.
The man stood beside him and he introduced us to each other.
”Ed, this is Yve, the girl I told you about.”
”Yve, this is my cousin and secretary, Edward.”
Edward offered his hand for a handshake and I accepted it.
”Ed, I will eat my office. Go and have your lunch in the cafeteria.”
”Okay, see you later, bro.”
With that Edward, left us behind.
”I thought you will eat in the cafeteria. That's what you said in your speech.”
”Yup but that was before I found out that you are one of my employees.”
”Hmmm. Okay.”
With that he lead the way towards his office.

VINCE's POV
Good thing she approved eating lunch with me. I guess what she said was really true. Ever since before she was really afraid of gossips and doen't want to be part of rumors whether good or bad.
We arrived at my office without any of us breaking the silence. However, I can sense that something is not right with her.It made me recall the time when Airis, her stepsister pushed her. She lied to all of us and tried to cover it all up. It took awhile before she finally confessed what happened.
Is her reason for leaving me behind similar to that incident?
But what big incident would it be and why haven't I heard about it?
