webdriver not clicking on button

I have a scenario where if if mouse hover a box it shows the button on which I want to click. The html is something like this:

<div class="Box on which hovering i get the button">
  <div class="special button comes only on hovering">

I am using this code to click on the webdriver but without any success:

(IrenderedWebElement)driver.hover(locatorOfBox)
(IrenderedWebElement)driver.click(special button locator)
if(button.isDisplayed)
driver.click

I have tried putting wait also in between hover and click but of no use. I am stuck so looking for answers.

Use Xpath (to locate exact button- it helps when id is autogenerated) to click on button

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@class='Box on which hovering i get the button']/div")).click();

Hope below link will help to manually generate xpath

Use the Actions class. Here's an example where the "Rounds" sub menu item is only visible after hovering on the "Default management" top level menu item:

        IWebElement topLevelMenu = driver.FindElement(By.LinkText("DEFAULT MANAGEMENT"));
        var actions = new Actions(driver);
        actions.MoveToElement(topLevelMenu).Perform();
        driver.FindElement(By.LinkText("ROUNDS")).Click();
