338 Projects and Meetings 2 (1/2)

”Will Sylvan take a longer time? I can stay with you until he arrives.” Lester asks Yve without minding that his voice is clearly heard by her secretary via phone.

Yve only nods in response and carefree manner but Sylvan isn't delighted to hear Lester's voice. Ever since meeting the man yesterday, Sylvan can sense that Lester is feeling something more than friends towards his Lady Boss. However, without evidence, he can only watch them from a far. Unease that he's far from Yve and Lester, he calls on Eybelle.

”Are you going to be late in picking the Young Madam?” Eybelle asks as soon as she answers the phone call.

”Yes. But I need you to come out and be at the café now.” Sylvan tells her.

”Why? I don't see any threat around. That man, Lester, is still there and is a close friend of Young Madam. If something happens, he can protect her to buy us time to approach their location.” Eybelle explains to Sylvan.

At times like this that Sylvan knows that Eybelle is still young deep inside. Even though she easily understands the intent to kill of other people, she doesn't understand feelings like love and Sylvan knows that no words will make Eybelle understand its meaning.

”I have no evidence but I got the feeling that Lester is a threat.” Sylvan plainly replies however it alerted Eybelle.

”What kind of threat?” Eybelle instructs her team to be on standby as she walks to the café and listen to Sylvan's explanation.

People might argue not to trust a conclusion without any evidence but Team Alpha would gladly obey Sylvan's hunches. They are always correct even if evidences are discovered after they made their move.

”I can't put it into words but something is really odd with Lester especially on how he looks and talks to Young Madam when left alone.” Sylvan vaguely explains.

”Okay. I'm on my way to the café.” Eybelle ends the phone call as she enters the place and walks straight to her Lady Boss.

”Eybelle!” Yve is shocked to see her in front but she was able to instantly hide it from Lester who looks curious in finding out who is the young girl in front of them.

”Yve, this is?” Lester asks.

”Oh, I'm sorry. This is Eybelle, a family friend of Vince. Eybelle, this is Lester.” Yve makes the necessary introductions.

”I'll order you your favorite, Eybelle. Just sit here for a while.” Yve stands up leaving Lester and Eybelle on their table.

All through out the time they spend waiting for Sylvan in the café, Eybelle sips the smoothie and eats the cake ordered by Yve for her. Not only that, she continuously observes Lester trying to figure out why did Sylvan categories the former as a potential threat to Yve. But she ends up with nothing. Everything seems normal to her. Lester and Yve work on some projects and have their occasional laughs on the matter.

'I still don't understand but I'll trust his instincts nevertheless. I'll keep this in mind during their future meetings.' Eybelle mentally takes note of it.

Because Lester is still watching them, Eybelle gets inside the car as well and guards Yve while sitting beside her.

”I'm sorry for being late, Young Madam.” Sylvan apologizes.

”It's fine but have you fixed the problem with the tickets?”
