305 Diversion (1/2)

Throughout the weekday, Steve is working his hardest to get a win in the second bidding their company has planned. However, based from his investigation and research, things are not going well as planned. Another big company is aiming for the same project and this time the company president who hosts the project is shamelessly announcing how happy she is that a well-known company is bidding as well. According to Steve's investigation though, a big company will not have any gains from this project. The only conclusive idea is that Steve somehow had offended someone, as to who it is and how, he doesn't have a single clue.

Meanwhile the man who's hiding behind his second team's work against Steve was busy with his own empire as well. He attended several meetings some in the office, some in the restaurants while others through video call.

”Edward, leak to our media partners that there is a rumor that Steve losses the bidding project he is aiming overseas. Make some connection with H\u0026E's poor performance the past few weeks. It should be interesting enough for those investors to temporarily stop investigating about Yve.” Vince instructed Edward through a phone call as soon as he reads the confirmation email from Team Bravo.

”Copy that, Bro. By the way, this Saturday will be the launching of new visual design of one of the malls of Stones. The employees and staff who worked with Yve on this project wanted her to attend but she rejected it.” Edward replied

”I understand why. Did she explain it to them well?”

”Yes, she said that she will be on standby though. Won't she attend the meeting with you?” Edward curiously asked.

”I'm not really sure. We haven't talked about it. I'll ask her tonight.” Vince casually replied.

”Bro, you won't get angry just in case she will not go with you?”

”I don't think so. She usually has her reasons for doing things and often times I find them reasonable. We talk things out and compromise after hearing each other.” Vince answered.

”Is that the reason why you rarely fight?”

”One of the reasons, yeah. Bro, in a relationship you need to trust your partner and give her the right amount of freedom. If there are things you disagree on, communication and compromising are the keys.” Vince gives an advice to his cousin with full understanding that Edward was asking for relationship tips.

”…” Then the other line went silent.

”Having some problems?” It's Vince turn to ask his cousin.

”Not like that. Everything is fine but she's not that open with her feelings yet.”

”Well, Yve is not very open as well. But she's slowly getting there and her actions the past weeks have shown how much she loves me and I'm happy with it. You should be patient with Nyelle, Bro.”

”I know that but it's really tough, you know what I mean?”

”Of course, I do. Just remember that she used to plot evil things against her best friend and you were the one who discovered her. I bet it took her a lot of courage to admit her feelings to you.” Vince reminded Edward.

”Thanks Bro. I have to go now. I still have a meeting coming.” Edward appreciated Vince's advice.

”Anytime, Bro.” The phone call ended and they went on with their respective schedules.

As what Vince had informed Edward, he and Yve talked about the upcoming launch of her project with Stones.

”Edward called me and asked why you rejected the invitation to attend your project at Stones.” Vince started to ask Yve.

”Oh. It was all because I don't want other businessmen to get an idea that I'm the new president of SkyMu. With all the company's recent activities, Sylvan told me that people are gaining more and more interest in knowing my identity and now is not the time yet.” Yve explains.
