Chapter 288 - DEPENDENT ON HER
Their curiosity was showing on their faces while they looked at the clothes inside the suitcase. They really wanted to know why they're giving such expensive items away.
"Sir, I know that you're rich and giving these things away must be a normal thing for you but, may we know why you're giving so much of your personal stuff?" one of the employees who couldn't stop his curiosity asked Stefan.
Stefan hugged his wife in front of them and placed his chin on her shoulder. "They're not given by my wife. I want everything inside my wardrobe to be coming from my wife or something that my wife chooses for me."
"Oh." They nodded their head in understanding but some of them couldn't help themselves from shaking their head in disbelief. Their boss has become so dependent on his wife
Chris face-palmed himself when he heard Stefan's answer. He was really childish. 'Well, as long as he's happy, nothing else matters because a happy CEO will bring happiness to the company. And when the CEO is grumpy, the employees suffer.'
Cayenne asked Chris to bring her paper bags in order to have something that she can use to put the clothes on. After several minutes, Cayenne started giving away the shirts and the suits.
Stefan just held on to her while she did what he was supposed to do. Chris assisted her, making sure that the items were placed inside the bags carefully.
One after another, the employees received an early gift from Stefan and thanked him couple of times before going out of the conference room.
Inside the employees' chat forum, pictures of bags containing suits with pants or shirts with pants were posted by the employees who received them from Stefan.
"Even if someone sells this for a second-hand price, I won't be able to afford it unless it's fake. I'm so thankful for this gift."
"The boss is so generous and the lady boss is kind. A good pairing indeed."
"I can't wait to try the clothes on."
"It's so expensive. A regular employee like me never thought I'll have a very expensive item one day."
"Wait! You mean that the president was giving away his personal belongings?"
"Why didn't we know about this?"
"I want a shirt from him, too."
"Lady boss can have him all to herself. I just want a shirt from him to inspire me."
"Oh geez! I saw one brand and searched for it. You can't believe the price." The person who left this message attached a picture of the shirt and its price.
"How come we're not informed about this?"
"Because you're a female. We received emails earlier asking as about our sizes. Who would have thought that we'll receive these items?"
"Wow! So lucky!"
"You should have seen the boss with his wife. He was so clingy to her. Can't believe that the devil would be so sweet towards his wife."
"You just received something from him and you called him a devil."
"Even if I didn't receive anything, I will still call him a devil. It's an expression alright. And just so you know, the boss is fully aware that we're calling him devil sometimes."
"How come he knows?"
"Because his secretary is also inside this forum. Duh!"
Everyone was surprised with this reply and they all scrolled to see the member's list. And to their horror, Chris's profile was indeed in the list. They never thought that he'd be inside this forum because he never spoke.
Now, they all knew that he was monitoring them.
"Are we doomed?"
Chris who was reading the chats without saying anything left a series of devil-laughing emojis.
The forum became silent after he left this response and everyone went back to work. 'We're all doomed.' This was what the employees thought but in truth, Stefan didn't really care about their opinions. As long as they're working and were able to complete their tasks efficiently, he won't bother them.
Cayenne finished giving clothes to the twenty-four employees but there were still a lot of clothes left. "Let's give them to those who works in the hotel. Some employees must have the same measurement as you."
"Hn. We can drop by the hotel in the afternoon."
Cayenne kissed his cheek and stood up from his lap. "Do you need help with your work? I might be able to help you with some things."
"I have some documents that needed to be translated in English. Can you do them?"
"Sure. I had good grades in English when I was sill a student. But help me with some business terms that aren't familiar to me."
"Okay."
The two of them went back to the office while Chris followed them, pulling the suitcase with him. "What do you guys want for lunch?"
"How about we try some Japanese food this time?" Stefan asked while looking at his wife.
"I don't mind. I'm not picky."
"Then, I'll find a Japanese restaurant nearby." Chris left the suitcase near the door and closed Stefan's office when he came out.
"Where can I work?" Cayenne asked Stefan while looking around the place.
"You can sit here." Stefan pulled out his own swivel chair and opened the computer for her. "You can type the translated version here." Then he grabbed a document from his locked drawer and gave it to her. "These are the proposals that I need your help with."
"How about you? Aren't you working?"
"I just need to read some documents and give approval or rejections to it. I'll be sitting on the couch."
"Okay."
Cayenne started working on the documents that Stefan wanted her to work on. She studied very hard when she was a student and she had good grades in all subjects. Sadly, she had to stop because of her family situation back then.
Cayenne worked diligently and was very focused on her task. When Stefan looked at her, she's really like an office assistant who works for him.
"Honey, don't take it so seriously. You can finish just finish three pages today and do another three pages tomorrow. The deadline for that is one month from now. You still have so much time and I can help you if you can't meet the deadline."
"I'm fine here. I can do this little thing."
"Alright. If you say so."
While the two of them worked inside his office, the stalkers were still waiting for them in the parking lot not far from the company. They have a full view of the entrance and exit of the building, making it easy for them to spot Stefan and Cayenne if the two comes out of the place.
'Ring! Ring! Ring!'
It was Arthur calling them. As soon as the driver picked up the call, Arthur's voice came in loud and clear. "Haven't you found out her address yet?! If you can't find it, just quit. I'll hire someone else to do the job."
