Chapter 163 - OFFICE ROMANCE I
Even though Arthur knew of their relationship, he promised that he won't tell anyone about it. Cayenne could only hope that he would keep his promise to keep his mouth shut.
Chris picked them up around nine in the morning and drove the car directly to the company. As usual, Cayenne was wearing a cap and dark glasses to cover her face. Stefan was wearing glasses but he just used it as part of his fashion unlike Cayenne that needed something for disguise.
Earlier, when he chose his clothes, he wanted to wear the white shirt and top it with black suit but since it was Sunday, he wanted to go for a casual style so that he can go and have a date with her later. When Cayenne chose to wear a baby pink colored dress with a huge red rose print on the waist line, he chose a baby pink polo shirt to match her color. Cayenne chose a white sling bag, so he wore white shorts. Cayenne used a pair of white shoes, and so he did. Cayenne wore the red-string-of-fate bracelet, so Stefan wore the watch she gave to pair with her bracelet.
When Cayenne went out of the bathroom after changing, she noticed that Stefan was done changing in her room as well and they've got a matching outfit. The smile on her face bloomed happily and she couldn't do anything about it.
Now, walking at the lobby of his company, the two of them with striking outfit made other people stop from working and stare at them. Cayenne walked calmly beside Stefan while holding his hand. Since she had small steps compared to Stefan, he had to walk slowly in order to keep up with her.
"Oh my gosh! The lady boss is here! She's here!" one of the employees said excitedly to her colleagues.
"Who do you think straightened our president's personality?" another employee whispered.
The identity of their lady boss was always their food for gossip. Before, their boss was very frivolous and he would even let the media catch a glimpse of them going inside a water in the middle of the night and going out at dawn. There were so many instances in the past that he was caught 'dating' with different women in a week.
However, it truly came as a surprise when they found out that the boss was in love. And this time, he's being serious. He didn't let anyone know of the woman's identity and even though the media knew about her, they wouldn't dare release any news. Stefan was clearly protecting her. And she's the only woman that stepped foot in his company.
Stefan always got this motto that business and pleasure must be separated but now, he was trying to do both with Cayenne.
One of the employees took picture of them and even though they couldn't see Cayenne's face, they could tell that she's pretty. One reason was because, their president was picky. The picture was sent to the group chat between employees and they were all excited to see the lady boss. Sadly, most of them were taking days off and even if they would come to the office, they wouldn't get paid for taking part in a gossip. It's a waste of time. Therefore, they could only wait for their colleagues to send them updates.
"What will I be doing in your office? Is there anything that I can help you with?" Cayenne asked Stefan while the three of them got inside the elevator. Chris was just staying at the back of them.
Stefan thought for a while but he wasn't sure if there's something she can do. "Let's check it later."
Cayenne nodded her head in agreement. She's not really proficient in business matters but she wanted to help him a little bit. The elevator door soon opened and Chris walked towards his small office which was particularly made for the assistant. "If you have any questions or concern that needed my help, just ring me up."
"Sure. Sure." Cayenne replied and smiled at him before following Stefan to his office. This will be her second time in his office after that fever incident.
"Just find a place where you'll feel comfortable to sit." Stefan told her while taking off his glasses and placed it on his desk.
Cayenne chose the area near the window so that she can see the view outside. There's nothing good to see in the morning but she still liked to sit by the window. "I won't disturb you so just do your job. I'll be reading something over here."
"Okay." Stefan sat on his swivel chair and opened up his computer while stealing glances at her from time to time. "Ayen, can you come here for a while?"
"Hn? Is there something wrong?" Cayenne innocently asked. Her plan was for later but she didn't expect that Stefan would do something else.
"Move here to my side." Stefan told her and she followed his instruction. When she was close enough to his side, he pulled her hand and made her sit on his lap. "This is where you should sit."
"W-wait. You are still working." Cayenne refuted him. "I don't want to disturb you."
"You won't be disturbing me." Stefan responded with a confident smile. "Just stay here." Cayenne suddenly thought of something but it was so bold that she didn't even move an inch. She was like a piece of wood in his arms. "Relax. I won't be doing anything."
"You won't? But what if I will do something?" Cayenne questioned him and for the first time, Stefan saw a teasing smile on her lips.
