This Time You Are Mine 57 Detour

THIRD PERSON's POV

Yve has now arrived at SkyMu and everything was peaceful in the building. Contradictory to her usual way of going to her office, she decided to have side tour and explore the building. She went to the cafeteria.

She has been hearing different feedback about the facilities from the workers' forum. This time, she wants to see it for herself. Ensuring that the staff are well provided is also one of the responsibilities that the CEO must never neglect.

Inside the cafeteria, she saw that the tables and chairs aren't well maintained as some are destroyed and she can say that Vince's Hotel has a better staff's cafeteria than this and to think that future stars in the industry eat here as trainees. Since it was still closed to the public, she took the opportunity and decided to look inside the kitchen.

She was saddened by what she saw. The cooking utensils aren't as convenient which is probably one of the reasons why the kitchen personnel can't serve the food as fast as possible. She brought out her phone and decided to take some pictures of the place. She also noted a need for a meeting with the Human Resource Department.

Next on her list, was the training rooms. She started with the vocal training room which was connected to the recording studio. She must say, that at least this room has the latest technology needed by both the singers and the musician. She took a picture of the place for further study and left the room.

She was astonished to see a light was turned on in one of the acting training rooms. She peeked inside to see a young girl. Well, aside from Hyacinth she still has yet to familiar the name and looks of her company's artists. The young girl was dressed in gray hoodie with jogger pants and black high cut shoes. She was holding a book which she guessed to be a script.

"Is there an upcoming drama or movie for any of our artists? I should take note of it." Yve said and took a picture and left.

Since she's not knowledgeable about the acting facilities she decided to pin it out later at the coaches' meeting.

Another beam of light guided her to the dance studio. She went there and took a peek. She then saw a familiar figure. It was Hyacinth. After setting up the song, she turned majority of the light off leaving behind 2 single lights to act as a spot light. Then I saw her dance to the beat while looking at herself in the mirror.

Hyacinth was wearing a dark grey crop top with black dolphin short. She paired it up with white rubber shoes and her hair was tied to a bun. Based on the sweat from her top and the amount of water bottles on one of the few chairs inside, she has been practicing for a quite some time. Yve decided to peek longer to avoid disturbing Hyacinth's practice.

"Her moves are precise but something is missing." Yve said to herself. She then remembered that Hyacinth's lowest mark was her dancing which was why she didn't got any chance to release a pop dance genre. She also recalled that the song she made for Hyacinth this time needs some dance moves. This should be one of her training period.

After awhile, Hyacinth finished her dance and turned on the lights so Yve took this as a chance to come in. Hyacinth was startled upon seeing her.

"Ms. Yvory.." Hyacinth said.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to peek. I was just…"

Yve was interrupted by Hyacinth by saying, "It's fine. This is your building. You can do anything you want."

"Can you take a break for awhile? I have something to say." Yve asked Hyacinth.

Is that a worried look on her face? Yve thought to herself as she saw Hyacinth walking towards the chairs. Yve also did the same.

"About your dance…" Yve started.

"Please, Ms. Yvory, don't change the song because of my skills. I will work harder to improve before the official dance practice for the title track begins." Hyacinth pleaded on her by holding both of her hands.

Now I know that this wasn't the first. Airis must have given her other chances but because of her dance skills, they have to change or even postpone it. Yve thought while looking at Hyacinth's eyes.

"Your dance moves are precise. I can totally see how much hard work you into practicing. But something is missing." Yve said to Hyacinth while removing her hands from Hya's clasp. Yve then held Hyacinth's hands and gently pressed them.

"The coach has been saying so but she wouldn't point it out. I have been practicing so hard but nothing seems to work." Hyacinth sounded frustrated.

"Well, can you play the song one more time and dance it in front of me? Maybe I can help?" Yve offered.

"You will really help me?!"

"Of course! How can I resist a hardworking person?"

"Thank you very much!" Hyacinth hugged her so tight. Yve didn't mind all the sweat from Hyacinth's embrace.

"Oops… Sorry. I should dance now."

Hyacinth stood up and prepared the dance room while Yve prepares her phone to capture the entire performance. In all honest, Yve isn't sure on what is really missing from the first time she saw Hyacinth dance. This was the reason why she wanted to see Hyacinth's performance but this time from the front angle.

Meanwhile, Edward is now on his way to SkyMu after listening to Vince's advice. As he was driving he can't help but recall Vince's words.

"Bro, you can't take things very fast. Since you just met each other, you need to be very careful." Vince said.

"I know but I don't want her to think that aside from training her, I have other motives." Edward said.

"But you have, right?"

"I do. I want to know her more and I also want her to know about me."

"Then let everything flow naturally." Vince advised.

"And how do I do that?"

"If Nyelle says 'thank you' just plainly respond 'you're welcome'. Don't add any other words that might endanger your building relationship or hint your hidden agenda."

"But now, I think she's mad at me. What should I do?" He asked while holding Vince's shoulders tightly in his hands.

"Calm down! Tell me what exactly happened this morning without missing a single detail." VInce said.

Edward was about to do it when his phone rang. It was from SkyMu. After throwing Vince a 'should I answer this' look, Vince nodded his head. Edward, while remaining seated answered his phone.

"Sir Edward, where are you?" It was from the Training Department.

"I still have some errands to do. Why did you call?"

"Well, we have scheduled a meeting with Ms. Yvory and I was to report to her this morning to give her the overrun but then she's not in her office."

"WHAT?! She's not in her office?! That is impossible! Okay, I'll be right there. For the meantime, please make sure no one else will know."

"Yes, Sir Edward."

Then the phone call ended. Edward was worried so he hurriedly opened the door shocking Vince.

"Is there anything wrong?" Vince asked.

"Did you drop Yve to SkyMu today?"

"No. She drove using the new car I bought for her. Why? Is something wrong with Yve?"

"She's not in the office when one of the staff was about to give her some reports." Edward answered.

"WHAT?! WHERE COULD SHE BE?!"

Fear flashed in Vince's face as he dialed Yve's phone number. Edward is also calling SkyMu's security to check if Yve arrived at the building. Vince became more worried as the call isn't connecting. He keeps on receiving an error message.

"Bro, Yve arrived on the building according to the security guard.I'll be going to the building to check the CCTV's personally."

"Okay. I'll come with you." Vince went to his desk to get his coat.

"Bro, no need for you to go personally."

"But.."

"In an entertainment building, it's pretty normal to have places with signal blockers. Let me do this. I'll give you an update regularly."

"But…"

"Bro, if Yve is safe inside the building, she will get mad at you for ditching your work and for being paranoid."

Vince took Edward's word into consideration and pondered on it for awhile. Ed made some sense. For sure, Yve will be furious.

"Okay but promise to keep me updated."

Edward nodded his head and went out of Vince's office. These incidents brought us to Ed's current position. Edward sent his car flying as he increases his speed.
