The afternoon went by so fast as Yve finished all her duties and responsibilities for the day . She fixed her things and immediately went out of her office . In the lounge, Jaleb gets off the car and opens the door for her .

"Thank you, Jaleb . By the way, we're going to the n.o.ble Head Office first . "

"Yes, miss . "

The road towards the office was smooth . Yve went inside the office and was welcomed by Rose . She knew now that Rose was Maddie's executive secretary . Rose guided them to the president's elevator which directly heads to Maddie's office .

"Ms . Yvory, I hope you won't mind to wait for Madam in her office . There was an emergency video conference meeting that she needed to attend to . " Rose said as the elevator opened and guided them towards Maddie's main office .

"I don't mind . But if it's really important, we can just cancel the meeting . " Yve worriedly said .

"There's no need for that, Ms . Yvory . Madam insisted to proceed with your meeting and she said that she'll be finished in thirty minutes . "

"Okay . I understand . "

"What do you want to drink? Or eat perhaps?"

"Nothing . How about you, Jaleb?" Yve asked .

This kind gesture of Yve towards his bodyguard didn't escape Rose's eyes .

'She truly kind to all of his employees . ' Rose thought .

"There's no need, Ms . Yvory . I've just eaten . " Jaleb politely answered .

"Then if you'll excuse me . " Rose said and left the room .

Yve was left sitting inside the room with Jaleb standing beside her . Yve's eyes wondered around the room and began to appreciate Maddie's taste . From how her room looks, she was able to understand about Maddie's att.i.tude and preferences . Then something got her curious .

"Jaleb?"

"Yes, Miss?"

"You've been with Vince for quite sometime, right?"

"Yes . "

"So you knew who Maddie was from the first time we met, right?"

Jaleb finally realized what will Yve's question be . So he interrupted her by explaining what really happened during the wardrobe malfunction incident .

"He's really my savior . " Yve said to herself . But in her thoughts she knew that she needs to plan a reward for her King .

'Maybe I can ask his mother what to do . ' Se thought .

She was busy planning the surprise and reward for Vince in her mind, Maddie came inside the office .

"I'm sorry I made you wait, Yve . " Maddie said as she hug her tightly in her arms .

Yve was surprised by Maddie's gesture but she felt happy warm inside . She also hugged Maddie in return . Jaleb was also happy to see this development so he secretly took a picture and sent it to Vince . As Vince saw the picture, another smile formed on his face and motivated him to work harder than usual .

After a few moments, Yve can't breathe easily due to the tightness of Maddie's hug, so with all her remaining strength she said,

"Maddie, I can't breathe . "

"Oops, I'm sorry about that . " Maddie said when she realized how tight she has been hugging Yve .

"Let's go!" Maddie said and dragged Yve out of her office .

Yve offered her car and Maddie gladly accepted and handed a small sheet of paper to Jaleb . Jaleb accepted the paper and was astonished to see the contents of the paper .

'Madam is truly a gentle lady . ' Jaleb thought .

First on the list was Stones Enterprises' exclusive shopping mall . This mall can only be accessed by rich people through a members.h.i.+p card . Maddie and Yve went out of the car and dragged her to one of Madam Gray's favorite salon and spa .

"Welcome, Madam Gray!" The receptionist said .

"Yes . By the way, I want the usual package for two . This is my daughter-in-law, by the way . " Maddie introduced her to the staff .

The receptionist bowed to her and she did the same . They were guided to a private room for two and was given the instruction to remove their clothes and change into the clothes they gave . Yve knew then that they were in for a relaxing ma.s.sage .

As the ma.s.seurs give them them the warm-up, Maddie looked at Yve's relaxed face and asked,

"Have you tried this before?"

Yve looked at her and answered, "Yes . But it was way back when my father was still alive . "

"Why is that?"

"I was busy earning money that I forgot to pamper myself . "

Maddie was lost for words . She can't believe that Mr . Smith's only princess experienced poverty while Amira and Airis have the riches allotted for her .

"Don't worry . From now on, just come with me and we can pamper ourselves together . " Maddie said as she enjoyed the ma.s.sage .

Yve is also enjoying the ma.s.sage that she fell asleep . After an hour, a staff woke her up and gestured her to go to the salon area for a manicure and pedicure . She gladly obeyed and saw Maddie .

"You seemed to enjoy the ma.s.sage, Yve . " Maddie teased .

"Sorry, but is there a possibility that I snored while I was asleep?"

"Oh, no, dear . You were sleeping quietly but I have to wake you up to continue the rest of the package . "

"I see . " Then Yve let the staff do her work when suddenly Maddie asked something .

"Yve, do you like watching movies?"

"Of course!" Yve instantly answered since it has been awhile .

"That was quick!" Maddie teased her and laughed .

"It's been awhile too . But I can't do it tonight, mom . " Yve honestly said .

"I know . Vince warned me ahead . Let's do it next time, then . I'll schedule it with Sylvan . " Maddie said .

"Okay . I'll be looking forward to it, then . "

"Me, too . " Maddie said and soon both of their finger nails and toe nails were beautifully polished .

After 3 hours of pampering, the mother and daughter in law tandem went out of the salon and is now heading home . Yve ordered Jaleb to drop Maddie first at her home . But Maddie insisted they drop her off to her office .

Inside the car, Yve suddenly asked something to Maddie .

"Can I ask you something?"

"Of course!" Maddie said .

"Can I hug you again?" Yve's question caught Maddie and Jaleb caught off-guard .

But Maddie just smiled and said, "Anytime . "

Then Yve hugged Maddie with all her might as tears fell down from her eyes . This warmth and feeling of longing were felt by Maddie . She caressed Yve's back and said,

"Just give me call anytime you need a mother's warmth, okay?"

Yve nods her head in response without breaking free from Maddie for the rest of the ride . She didn't even realized they have arrived as she fell asleep . Maddie did her best to free herself without waking her up .

"Take care in driving home, Jaleb . "

"Yes, Madam . "

As the car drives away from the building, Maddie thought to herself,

'That young lady missed a lot of things . '
