Chapter 140 - SO MUCH ATTENTION
"Another thick and big thigh is settling down."
"Oh! Another lucky female."
"Congrats to the best boss in the world."
"I'm so happy for you, boss. You are no longer making headlines!"
"I wonder who the lady boss is."
"I hope this is the last woman in his life."
"Wait! Before you congratulate him, shouldn't you be asking why is he in the hospital with a gauze around his head?" This comment garnered so much attention and many replies were posted below it. People were concerned about what happened. The attention about his love life was now shifted to the gauze on his head.
Cayenne didn't continue to read the comments. She knows what happens and she's the woman in the picture. There's no need to read them. "I am happy for you, boss and I hope you will get better soon."
Stefan received the notification that she commented on his post and he instantly liked it. But to avoid suspicions, he also liked some comments in random.
"When will you be discharged?" Cayenne asked after the two of them had finally calmed down and relaxed their nerves.
"I already sent a message to Chris. He will be here any moment."
"Speak of the devil and the devil comes." Cayenne commented with a chuckle upon seeing that Chris was knocking on the door. "Come in."
"I have processed everything. We can go home now." He told Stefan and Cayenne. "We don't have a car though since the police are still investigating the matter and the car was damaged. We can only take a taxi."
"It's fine." Stefan waved his hand. "I'll just change my clothes and we can go."
"Okay." Cayenne and Chris responded in unison. When Stefan left for the bathroom with a paper bag, Cayenne turned to Chris. "Are you alright?"
"Hn. Stefan got more wounds because the bike hit his side. Thankfully, the impact wasn't that heavy."
"I'm happy that both of you are fine." Cayenne muttered. "I was really nervous when none of you answered my call."
"Sorry about that. We must have worried you. When I was maneuvering the car, my phone fell and in the midst of the chaos, I totally forgot it. I could only think of saving him and I actually stepped on my phone when it fell from the dashboard."
"I see. We could only hope to capture the culprit in this accident. With what I have heard, they deliberately did it."
"Hn. But don't worry, I won't let this happen again. You can be rest assured that Stefan will always be fine."
"Thank you."
The two of them talked while waiting for Stefan to come out of the bathroom.
"I'm all done. Let's go." Stefan took hold of Cayenne's hand and they strode out of the room.
"I've seen the post." Chris looked at them and on their linked hands. "Congrats to both of you. I wish you thousands of years in happiness."
"Thank you." Cayenne smiled while trying her best not to blush but she still blushed anyway.
Outside the hospital, Chris took a different taxi since he'll be going home separately from them. He talked to Stefan about their work tomorrow but they decided that they'll just be staying in Clover Hotel for the mean time.
The next day, Cayenne was thrown into another panic. She woke up very late. And Stefan didn't even wake her up. He was leisurely browsing on his iPad while she was sleeping beside him.
"Why didn't you wake me up?! It's almost lunch time. I have work today." Cayenne mentioned as she rummaged their closet to find her uniform.
"I called in for you. I told Kim that you'll be taking a half day today."
"Oh my god! What will everyone say about me now? They'd think I'm being treated with special care. Imagine, I took a day off for my brother, and a three-day vacation with you, and now, I'm taking a half day. And this happen in one month." Cayenne told him the possibility of the other employees making a fuss and complain.
"But you're tired. You worked all day, yesterday. You're both emotionally and physically exhausted. And we had a late dinner because of the accident. How could I let you work when you're totally spent?"
"I understand your point." Cayenne mumbled. "But I don't want everyone to think that I'm being abusive. Sooner or later, they will complain to Manager Kim." She picked up her bathrobe and changed of clothes. "Anyway, I still want to work. And you will be coming to the hotel, right? I can still take care of you there."
"Okie dokie. I won't interfere with your work anymore."
"Promise?"
"Yes, ma'am." Stefan responded and even made a salute towards her. "Take a shower and get changed. We'll leave in an hour in order for you to get there before 1:00 in the afternoon."
Cayenne walked towards him and kissed his face. "Yes, sir."
The two of them burst into a merry laughter after their conversation. Cayenne went to the bathroom to shower while Stefan called the chef in his hotel restaurant to prepare lunch for the two of them. There's not enough time for them to cook their own food.
Cayenne didn't change to her normal clothes. She directly put on her uniform since she didn't want to change in the lounge now that she's even taking a half day off. Stefan was already dressed when she got out of the shower and he also helped her arrange her things inside her small back pack.
He had been watching her for months now and he knew what are the things that she would always bring with her; phone, wallet, press powder, wet tissue, alcohol and lip gloss. These were the things that she would never forget to bring and also her uniform. But since she's wearing it anyway, he only used the small backpack that he bought for her.
"Just dry your hair in my suite."
"But my uniform will be damp on the way there."
"Just wipe a dry towel to let the water seep on it. You will be late if we still do it here."
"Okay. Okay." Cayenne wrapped the towel around her hair and just picked a comb and hair tie for later. Stefan handed her bag to her and the two of them walked downstairs. Leon was already waiting for them. Cayenne didn't want him to drive and she also told Chris not to drive for a while until the two of them are fully recovered. So, they had to endure riding a taxi to work.
"Is that Cayenne?" Cole, Arthur's brother muttered while watching a young woman boarding a taxi with Stefan. He couldn't clearly see her face since Stefan instantly covered his view but, he caught a glimpse of her and he really thought it was Cayenne Ardolf.
