Chapter 134 - OBJECT OF JEALOUSY II

Everyone watched the video.

At first, there were other employees who were resting inside the lounge. Few minutes after, they left one after another, until the lounge was empty.

The security personnel fast-forwarded the video and they stopped it when they saw a familiar figure walking inside the lounge. It was none other than Melody.

Seeing her own face, Melody didn\'t care anymore. She kneeled on the ground and held on the Cayenne\'s legs. "Cayenne, I\'m really sorry. I didn\'t really mean to do anything to you. I was just envious of you but I didn\'t really want to cause any harm. I\'m really sorry. Please forgive me. I don\'t really want to lose my work."

Cayenne sighed helplessly. "If I can decide on this matter, I will gladly let you go. But the President is here. He gets to decide on this matter. I\'m sorry I can\'t be of help to you."

Stefan snickered. "Today, you might not be planning to cause any harm to her. Perhaps, you just wanted to get rid of her flowers. Tomorrow, you might ruin her bag or throw her cellphone or ruin her uniform or do whatever you can think of. You might not be harming her physically but you are still harming that things that she cares about. I don\'t want any type of bullying inside my hotel or any of my company."

They continued to watch the surveillance video and found Melody standing in front of the flower vase where Cayenne placed the flowers for the time being.

She was watching the flowers, maybe contemplating what to do because she didn\'t move for few minutes. Stefan even thought that she was glued on her place.

After two minutes, she picked up the flowers, looked around her and there was an expression of disgust on her face. When she spotted the trash bin, without waiting for any second longer, she stuffed the whole bouquet inside it. She even stomped her feet on it to make it fit inside the small container.

Petals and leaves were strewn on the floor and she didn\'t have any slight remorse on her face. Few seconds later, she seemed to pale and stiffened; and that\'s when Manager Kim arrived. She saw the flowers on the trash bin and looked towards the flower vase. Sure enough, it was the flowers that Cayenne received from the boss.

"Is this the first time that this happen to Ayen? To Ms. Ardolf?" Stefan corrected himself as soon as possible when he made a slip of the tongue. The security personnel clearly heard it and his eyebrow raised in question. But since Melody was devastated and emotionally unstable, she didn\'t hear any of the question. She was just thinking where she could find a job which has great treatment to employees like Clover Hotel.

Manager Kim bit her lips. She knew that she\'s doomed to lose her job, too. She never expected that Stefan will also ask about the past events.

Seeing the struggle on the manager\'s face, and thinking that she helped them keep their relationship a secret, Cayenne saved her from following Melody\'s footsteps.

"This is the first time that this happens to me?" Cayenne mentioned. "No one bullied me in the past."

"Really?" Stefan asked with doubtful expressions. With Cayenne\'s naivety and simplicity, he knew that many jealous women would bully her because she didn\'t know her strong points. She had no idea that many men admire her and wanted to court her. She has a very low self-esteem even though she\'d pretty, kind, honest and hardworking.

"Hn. Really." she firmly responded and smiled.

"You know how to deal with this already Manager Kim. I have to go now and I hope this won\'t happen again in the future." Stefan turned around and stepped out of the security room.

"Yes, sir. I understand." Manager Kim turned towards Cayenne and smiled. "Go and see to it that our President is out safely from the hotel."

\'Doesn\'t he know where the exit is?\' Cayenne questioned herself while giving Stefan another glare. He really knows how to exploit using his authority in this hotel. She stepped out of the security room and followed Stefan out as well. This time, they\'re walking towards the personal elevator of the President.

"Are you alright?" Cayenne asked.

"I\'m not." Stefan mumbled angrily. "How dare she was to throw away the flowers that I spent so much time picking? I sacrificed my work to get those beautiful flowers for you and she just threw it inside the trash bin!"

Cayenne couldn\'t hold back her laughter anymore and she burst out laughing. "How can you be so childish? Those were just flowers, okay? She might have ruined it but I still keep it in mind. Thank you so much."

"I am still not fine." Stefan sulked even though they\'re inside the elevator already. "I really wanted to ban her from the whole city and make sure that she won\'t find a good job."

"Hey!" Cayenne tugged his hand. "Why are you being so petty? Just let it be. I\'m the victim but I am not saying anything so, don\'t let it affect you."

Stefan pulled her close and hugged her waist. They didn\'t care about other people because they knew that no one else will be using the elevator of the President aside from him. And the security cameras were connected to the monitors inside his suite, not the ones inside the security room.

"Ayen, are you always bullied?" he asked after few seconds of silence. "I wasn\'t able to protect you in the past but starting today, you must tell me if anyone bullies you, okay?"

"Hn."

"Promise?"

"Yes. Yes. Yes. I promise." Cayenne even made a cross sign over her chest. The elevator opened and they were already in the basement. And maybe it was because she wanted to comfort him a little that Cayenne had the courage to become a little bolder. She snaked her arms around his neck and kissed his jaw. "Take care of yourself and come back home on time."

Although Stefan was stunned with her actions, he was still able to get back to his senses. He kissed the tip of her nose and her forehead. "I\'ll come and pick you up later. I\'ll inform Leon about it."

"Okay."

The two of them hugged for few minutes more before Stefan reluctantly let go of her. Cayenne watched him left before pressing the elevator button to get back to the lobby.

"Is that Cayenne?" Arthur questioned when he caught a glimpse of the woman\'s face who was hugging Stefan.
