Chapter 162 - GETTING READY FOR AN OFFICE ROMANCE
Arthur left the apartment and his words still rang in Cayenne's mind. 'If he makes you sad and makes you cry, just let me know and I'll be there for you.'
Cayenne didn't nod her head or shook it. She just remained silence and looked at him. She knew for sure that Stefan wouldn't hurt her and she's confident with that. Or so, she thought.
When she came back inside, her mother was no where to be seen. "She said that she'll sleep and rest first." Luiz informed her sister. "So, how was your trip with Stefan?"
"Oh right!" Cayenne's mood instantly changed and she became so happy while pulling out her phone. "I'll show you something." Cayenne scrolled her phone and stopped on her gallery.
"Whoa! That's really unfair of you! Are you intentionally making us jealous?" Kyle questioned accusingly at her sister.
"You've got a girlfriend, okay? Why are you still ogling over other women?" Cayenne snapped at him. "But yeah, I'm intentionally making you jealous. Ain't they pretty? I felt like was dreaming the whole time but every time I see these pictures, I knew I met them for real."
"Next time, can you ask for an autograph? I want to show it to my classmates. Almost all of us likes Riley Summer and most of the music enthusiasts like Jillyanna's songs. I will make them envious." Luiz told her sister with a longing smile. "Well, I don't mind if there's none. I just want you to be happy all the time."
"Speaking of being happy, how was your visit? Is your father alright?" Cayenne asked the two of them but they all turned silent and sadness crossed over their faces. "Is he having a hard time?"
"The same as usual. We all know that father wasn't the aggressive type of person. Whenever he gets bullied, he wouldn't fight back at all. It's not even his fault that he was sent there."
"I know. It's just that we're up against the rich people. We cannot beat them up when it comes to power. Next time, bring him some medicine and more thick clothes." Cayenne told her brothers. "It's getting late now. Make sure to sleep after you're done with your homework. And Kyle," she called the elder brother. "make sure that you won't drop your grades. Make your relationship an inspiration to improve your studies."
"Yes. Yes." Kyle answered with a smile on his face. In fact, he knew exactly what to do in order to make sure that he won't fail.
Cayenne went back to her room and found Stefan leaning on the headrest while reading something on his tablet. "I thought we won't be able to sleep tonight." Stefan commented cheekily while watching her walk towards her cabinet to get a change of clothes.
Cayenne made face on him and rolled her eyes. "I know when to move on and I promised to dedicate my night life to you. That haven't changed yet."
"Oh?" Stefan's eyebrow suddenly raised and there's glint of mischief in his eyes. "What should be my prized for bringing you to meet Jillyanna and Riley? Surely, I should have a prize, right?"
"Why should you be getting an award? Didn't you bring me along because you needed to talk to them about something?"
"Nope. I didn't have anything to discuss with them. I just really want you to meet them."
"No kidding?"
"No kidding."
Cayenne watched Stefan to observe any changes on his expression but it remained the same. "I'll think about your award while I bath."
"That sounds great." Stefan responded with anticipation. "I'll wait for you."
Cayenne went to the bathroom with a flustered face. She was clueless what to do and there's no way she'd reward him with her own body. "What should I do?" she muttered to herself while take a bath. Even after she was done washing up, she still couldn't come up with any suitable idea to rewards him.
"So, what's my reward?" Stefan asked her the moment she came out of the bathroom.
"I…I couldn't come up with any idea. Can…can I give it to you tomorrow?"
"Sure. I don't mind at all. Come here and I'll dry your hair." Stefan motioned her to sit on the bed while he was holding a comb, a towel and a blower. This was just part of their routine.
After drying her hair, the two of them cuddled together on their bed.
"Thank you for bringing me to meet Jillyanna and her family. I'm so happy." Cayenne muttered with her eyes closed. She kissed Stefan's jaw and gently nipped on it. "I never expected them to be very welcoming of me."
"Jill likes honest and unpretentious people. Travis could see in your eyes that you have no evil intention. So, it's not really unexpected for them to like you." Stefan replied while running his fingers through her hair. While doing so, he would lightly massage her scalp which made Cayenne even more sleepy.
"But there's something I don't understand. I was just…ab…mmm" her sluggish words weren't finished because she fell asleep.
Stefan chuckled softly and kissed the top of her head with a smile on his lips. "Good night my little Queen." He wrapped his arms around her and cuddled her to sleep. Although, he still woke up in the middle of the night to take care of himself before going back to sleep and woke up in the morning.
The day has finally arrived. He woke up excitedly with replenished vigor and stepped out of the room to cook breakfast for the whole family. The sight of him, cooking while humming a song, startled both Luiz and Kyle who came out of their room to do a short morning exercise.
"Is there a special event today?" Kyle asked Stefan as he poured himself a glass of water.
"Yup. Your sister will be coming with me to my office." Stefan replied happily.
'What is so special about that?' Luiz wanted to ask this question but he kept quiet to avoid offending the other person. If it's special for him then, it's special. You can't do anything about it.
They just didn't know that Stefan was excited about a different thing that will happen inside his office.
