Chapter 393 - CAYENNES ENEMY
After an hour and half, Cayenne and Stefan finished the whole transfer of school process. Stefan paid for her school fees and he was her direct guardian as well. He wanted Cayenne to graduate college with her own name so, he didn't ask the school registrar to change her last name.
Since she's new to Xena University, the two of them walked around the school campus to get herself familiar with it. The bodyguards were following them closely at the same time, giving them enough space to be alone with each other. Some of the students who recognized them took pictures and some were looking at them with excited smiles.
Cayenne was shaking her head mentally. Even though it was announced to the whole world that Stefan was married and he's wife was even walking right beside him, many girls still like him. Even with his soiled reputation before, many women still wanted to be his girl. And she took this position without doing anything superfluous.
"Let's take a look at their cafeteria and maybe get something to drink. I'm a little thirsty." Cayenne suggested. In her brain, the cafeteria would be the most important part of her life as a student specially that she's a foodie.
Stefan let her led him around, just following wherever she wanted to go without saying anything. He was holding her hand, making sure that she's right beside him, putting his heart and mind at ease.
"By the way, have you checked on the issue last time? Did you know who leaked our address?" Cayenne asked as they walked toward the school cafeteria. Their hands were swinging between them and from time to time, she would raise it and kiss his knuckles, comforting him a little in her own way.
Stefan nodded his head for a start. "I looked into this matter and found out that someone sent a message to the media companies about our address. And that person sent the message right after the news of Clara's death was announced. It was obvious that he was trying to put us in a difficult situation. However, it doesn't really matter. People knew how I was treated before they knew that Clara isn't my mother. They won't be able to get anything from me when it comes to her."
"Do you think it was someone from the Minato who leaked our address?"
"I believed so." Stefan stated. "I asked Shein to check on this after obtaining the number where the message came from but he met a dead end. The number was newly-registered and it was only used once. After that, it cannot be traced anymore."
Cayenne looked down on the ground in worry. This was what she worried the most. She didn't like her private life to be messed up and yet, the media got hold of her home address.
Seeing her worried expression, Stefan smiled and caressed the back of her hand with his thumb. "Everything will be alright. Don't worry."
"Okay." Cayenne tried her best to calm herself and she was only able to do that when she saw a milk tea stall inside the cafeteria. "They're selling this in school?" Cayenne questioned and completely threw off the worries out of her mind. Since Stefan said it would be okay then, she won't be bothered with it anymore.
"What do you want to have?" Stefan asked while looking at the displays. Cayenne's eyes were moving from one item to another, unsure what to get because they're all tasty and she likes sweets a lot. "Shall I order for you?"
"Alright. That would be better."
Stefan looked at the items and finally decided to buy one triple chocolate milk tea and lychee milk tea. The lychee was for Cayenne and the chocolate was for him but just like always, Cayenne would still end up exchanging their drinks when it's half-finished already.
They took their order and decided to leave the campus and visit the Madrigal home. On their way out, Cayenne was happily talking to Stefan about Jade and wasn't looking her way. Stefan pulled her closer to him but someone still bumped into her.
"Ah!" The woman yelped in shock as she looked at her dress before looking towards Cayenne. "Oh my gosh! Just what the hell have you done?! Stop flirting and look where you're going?!" she shouted angrily which caught the attention of the other students. The guards where on alert as well but since they were inside the school ground, they cannot make any decisive actions.
Cayenne wanted to apologize but her words got stuck in her throat when she was being yelled at. She blinked her eyes at the woman and displeasure was slowly showing on her face. Stefan can feel her anger as well and he was even madder seeing someone yelling at his wife.
"You better watch your tone." Cayenne responded softly but a trace of coldness showed in her eyes. "And excuse me, I wasn't flirting. I was merely chatting with my husband. And besides, he pulled me away from your way but you still bumped onto me. Do you know what that means? It means, you're not looking your way. So, stop putting the blame onto someone else. It's not my fault that you're being careless."
"How dare you talk back to me?"
"Why wouldn't I dare? I didn't do anything wrong. You're the one who started shouting here." Cayenne remained calm but her trembling hands told Stefan that she's really angry this time.
"Do you know who I am? Are you new here? You should know better not to mess up with me."
"Whatever." Cayenne rolled her eyes and started walking away. "I don't want to waste my time talking to a mad dog."
Her words angered the woman even more but when she wanted to attack Cayenne, Stefan turned around and looked at her sharply. "This may not be my territory but trust me, I can expel you from this school if I want. So, don't mess up with my wife."
