329 Yve is Absent 2 (1/2)

In a café across the campus, Lester is talking to Sylvan regarding Yve's absence.

”Is she really okay?” Lester asks Sylvan.

”She's physically fine. She just wants to take a day break from everything.” Sylvan answers with full observation to the young man's expressions.

”I see. I'll handle our group's project today. But I'm not sure if she told you about the survey sheets. I'll need it to move on with our project.”

”I have it here with me. I saw it on Yve's desk this morning and seeing it has the logo of the school, I figured this might be a group project.” Sylvan informs Lester as he hands an envelope with the survey sheets.

”Thank you very much. I'll just send Yve an email regarding the progress of the projects.” Lester receives the envelope and leaves Sylvan.

As Lester walks farther and farther away from the café, Sylvan can't help but ponder on the emotions he observed from the young man.

'Don't tell me he harbors feelings for the Young Madam?'

During their short interaction, he saw anxiousness, caring smile, relief and confidence. He has a broad idea on how these feelings look like seeing his Boss look at his Young Madam during their conversations,

Sylvan stands up and heads back to the office to fulfill other tasks to make up for Yve's absence and to hopefully lighten the workload in the coming days.

'I hope I interpreted those reactions incorrectly. He's a dear friend to the Young Madam and a trusted business ally for the Boss.'

For the three ladies, they have finally arrived at the vacation house. Following what they have agreed on the way, Eybelle gets off the car first to check the vicinity house itself. Surveying the house alone, she also contacts Chrysthe not to inform Primo on the location of the house as requested by Yve. The good thing is that the house is cleared and so Yve and Nyelle walk inside the house while Eybelle acts to survey the surroundings even if Chrysthe and his team had finished doing it.

Inside the vacation house, Yve and Nyelle store the food Yve bought accordingly. While doing so, Nyelle asks the question she has wanted to ask all this time.

”So, what's the reason for your instant day trip here?”

Yve knows that this question will come but she failed to predict the time when her best friend will drop the bomb. She walks away from Nyelle and looks just outside in time to see Eybelle walking back.

”Remember I told you that we haven't done it yet?”

”It? What do you mean?”

”It! The act between married couples! Don't make me say it!”

”What?! When you told me before, it was fine for me because you just got married. But up until now, what's wrong?”

”I'm just scared.” Then Yve follows it up by narrating the things that happened last night up until this morning. But she didn't add too much details so that her best friend will not tease her.

But Nyelle doesn't even have any thoughts on teasing her. Her hunch is finally confirmed and that fight is the reason why they're here.

”Yve, sorry but I'm with Vince this time.” Nyelle casually responds making her feel bad.

”I know, I feel bad for him, too. This morning, he just left without eating breakfast. He also didn't bid goodbye.” Yve tells Nyelle.

”Do you think he's angry?” Yve asks Nyelle further.

”Of course! You were kissing each other and when you stopped him, he felt bad but it became worse when your reason is about school and work.” Nyelle defends Vince.

”So what do you think should I do?”
