102 Break the Agreemen (1/2)
Chrysthe came early at the mansion to begin his day but to his amusement, Vince is the only one in the kitchen cooking breakfast.
”Where is Ms. Yvory?”
”She is still in her room, sleeping. Come, help me prepare the table.”
”She will not go to work?”
”She will. But then it seemed that meeting my mother last night stressed her out so she wasn't able to hear her alarm.”
”I see. So you will not wake her up?”
”Not yet. As soon as I finished this, I will wake her up.”
”Okay.”
But this sudden obedience shocked Vince. Normally, Chrysthe is a jolly person, which is one of the reasons why he chose him to be Yve's bodyguard. This change brought curiosity in Vince's mind, so he asked.
”Is there anything you want to ask me?”
”Primo...”
”I said don't call me Primo when Yve is in the vicinity.”
”I'm sorry....” Chrysthe apologized with his head down.
Vince took a deep sigh and continued to ask.
”Is this about what I asked Jaleb last night?”
”Yes... Sylvan told me that it is for Ms. Yvory.”
”Sylvan's correct.”
”But Ms. Yvory will end up getting hurt!” Chrysthe protested.
”I know that. But knowing her she would want to find out the truth. If we don't let her know as soon as possible, she would try to discover it on her own which is more dangerous.” Vince explained.
Both of this gentlemen didn't know that Yve is already awake and was about to launch a surprise attack to Vince. But when she heard her name, she stopped and listened to their conversation.
”I know eavesdropping is not good, but they just mentioned my name.” Yve whispered to herself.
'What's about this me trying to find out the truth on my own?'
She continued to observe and saw how sad and desperate Vince look. Her logic is telling her that it must be a very big secret. Vince might have been planning to tell her all along. She decided to stop listening. Slowly and silently, she traced her steps back to her bedroom.
”Vince will eventually tell me everything. I'll just wait for him to do so.” Yve said when she reached her room.
A few minutes later, Vince came knocking on her door and as he opened it, Yve acted as if she just woke up.
”Good morning!” Vince greeted as he approached her.
”Good morning!” Yve greeted him with a smile.
”Come on down. Breakfast is ready.”
”Thanks.I'll just wash up.”
”Okay. See you downstairs.”
Vince calmly said and head down thinking that how much he wanted to always see Yve with a smile on her face.
After a short while, Yve came down and the three of them enjoyed the food that Vince cooked. They talked, laughed just like their usual morning routine. When they finished their meal, Chrysthe volunteered to clean the table up and wash the dishes so the couple headed up to their respctive rooms to get ready for work.
Just as Yve was about to open her door, Vince asked,
”What time will you go home tonight?”
”Hmm.... not sure though. I haven't spoken with Sylvan yet but since everything is still on the planning stage, I might go home the usual time. Why?”
