97 Fateful Meeting 1

Name:This Time You Are Mine Author:mekane
It has been five minutes since Vince and Yve arrived at the parking space of the restaurant. Yve was in awe to see the beauty with the lights and night sky of the same restaurant she had a meeting earlier.

"Beautiful, right?" Vince asked.

"Yes. It looked prettier compared awhile ago."

"Awhile ago?" Vince looked at Yve as he turned the car's engine off. Yve looked back at Vince and answered his question.

"Ah, yes. I had a lunch meeting with the marketing manager of Noble."

Vince was in awe hearing this. He hadn't said anything to his mother. Knowing the popularity of the artists under SkyMu, it wouldn't be enough to get the attention of top class clothing line such as Noble, unless if they have a strong recommendation. But he didn't dare make the said request or else, Yve will not like it. So to feed his curiosity he asked,

"Did you know someone from Noble?"

"I have met one."

"And who was that?"

"Their top designer, Maddie. She was the one who helped us with one of our artist's suits." Yve calmly answered.

Vince can't help but smile. Seeing the turn of events it seemed that his mother found a way to meet Yve.He really can't escape his mother even for a short time.

"Why, is there anything wrong?" Yve asked.

"No. And did you accept the proposal?"

"We are leaning that way as it was an amazing offer. I wanted to accept it right there but Sylvan told me to give it a little time."

'Smart move, Sylvan.' Vince thought.

"Do you understand why Sylvan said that?" Vince asked Yve.

"Yes. But I'm not so sure."

"Then tell me."

"To show the other party that we are serious and we will not be fooled by a very tempting offer."

"You got it right!"

Ever since Yve became the president of SkyMu, she would ask Vince for help and advice with the decisions. Vince would gladly answer her questions but soon he began to realize how fast Yve could adjust and began getting the idea of how things work in business. Well, at least for honest business deals.

Vince touched Yve's cheeks and asked, "Are you ready?"

Yve gave him a sour smile and answered, "I'm not but I have to, right?"

Vince laughed at her honest answer and left the car to open the passenger side.

Vince guided Yve inside the restaurant and were noticed by everyone. All the staff knew how Vince looked and as they saw their Young Master brought a girl dressed elegantly to the restaurant, it left them curious on how things will turn out. Even though they were trained not to gossip, no rule and etiquette can't prevent them from thinking.

'The Young Lady must be Young Master's partner.'

'They're a match made in heaven.'

'They look perfect together. But isn't the lady familiar?'

'Isn't she the new president of SkyMu that had a meeting earlier today?'

'Are they here to meet the Madam?'

So many thoughts ran in their minds but even if they wanted to know about it, they're not allowed to. But things will be different if the Young Master or the Madam will announce it to them.

Vince and Yve went to the second floor. Yve was astonished to see the nice city night view. They're on the terrace of the restaurant with the night wind glazing their skins. It made the entire place look so peaceful yet romantic. Yve walked closer to the railings and smiled as she appreciate the city lights. Vince tenderly looks at Yve knowing that she's very happy. He was right to choose this place as this calmed Yve. Both of them was drawn into their own world that they failed to realize that someone is standing behind them.

"Liking what you see?" Yve's body reacted instantly and became stiff realizing that it must be Vince's mother talking.

"Mom, please don't sneak at us like that."

"Dear, I was standing here for quite awhile but both of you didn't notice. So I have to make a noise. Did I startle the young lady behind you?"

'My mother clearly saw through me. She has expected that this will not be a simple dinner.'

'Did she knew I was coming? But Vince said that it will be a surprise?' Vince's and Yve's thoughts ran in their minds.

Vince gestured Yve to face his mother and while tightly holding Vince's hand, she turned around and looked at the woman in front of her.

"Told you will meet again." The woman said as Vince and his mother witnessed a flabbergasted Yve.

"Ma---Maddie?!" Yve finally got her voice and exclaimed.

'I still can't defeat my mother and her schemes.' Vince thought as he did his best to hide a smile tempting to surface.
