299 Eventful Sunday Morning (1/2)
”Son, what happened to the job I gave you?”
The young man hands an envelope to the older man who smiles upon reading the papers in it.
”An exclusive, huh? Great job! When will this take effect?”
”Today. I'm leaving after breakfast to have an interview with Hyacinth.” Lester answers his father's questions while eating fried rice with hotdog and egg, paired with brewed coffee, on the side.
”SkyMu is really making a lot of noise ever since the change in their president. But when will they reveal the person behind all of these?” His father curiously asks.
”I'm not really sure, either. She told me she's just waiting for an appropriate time.”
”It means she's waiting for a bigger event or bigger achievement before she reveals her name in public.” Lester's faster laughs out loud after saying those words.
”What's so funny, Father?”
”She's ambitious thus she wants a name for herself with her achievement instead of being called someone's wife in the business world.” The elder explains.
The remark of his father makes Lester recall the time he had spent with Yve. Indeed, Yve is an independent woman. As for being ambitious, he's not that sure. At school, Yve has achieved the top seat and all because of her hard work.
His father has stopped laughing and looks at Lester intently waiting for him to express his thoughts.
”Father, do you think, it's a good idea to continue this partnership in the future?” Lester looks at him with a very confused face.
”So far, it's fine. But for your safety, have the project-based exclusivity first since we really don't know yet her full abilities. We are already earning a lot from getting exclusive rights on Mr. Gray's group of companies.” His father explains what he has to say on this issue.
After eating their breakfast, Lester leaves the dining table and gets his things before driving his car towards SkyMu office where he is scheduled to meet Hyacinth's manager.
Once the scheduled time comes, Lester finds himself on the way to the location with Hyacinth's manager.
”Are the questions fine?”
”I think so. I didn't hear any complaints or special requests from Hyacinth.”
”I see.”
Soon after, they find themselves inside Hyacinth's house and where a team of SkyMu's video team is already setting up the needed equipment.
In the meantime, Yve has finally wake up. But her head is really banging in pain.
”Awake now, my dear little drunkard?” Vince smiles at their doorstep with a cup of warm tea in his hand.
”I'm not a drunkard.” Yve pouts and tries to sit down on the bed but her headache is stopping her.
”How come you're fine? You didn't drink a lot last night?”
”Well, I did. I asked Chrysthe to pick us up while Jaleb was with Mom last night. Here, drink this tea to make you feel a little better.” Vince answers her question and hands her the tea after helping her sit on the bed properly.
”Thanks.” Yve drinks the warm tea and it really helps her lower the pain at least a notch.
”You can sleep more if you like.”
”I can't. Hyacinth is having an interview with Lester this morning. I need to be ready for updates.”
”Don't worry too much. Lester is the interviewer and Hyacinth is the interviewee. There are both good people and well experienced in their field. I sent Sylvan though just in case.” Vince explains as he tries to convince her to sleep more.
