五月激情婷婷

Chapter 171 - DOUBTS

Even after they took their shower, Cayenne\'s embarrassment didn\'t fade away. She wished she could dig a hole and just bury herself to avoid facing him. But a wish was just a wish; and her reality was completely different. Since she kept covering her eyes earlier, Stefan indulged himself and cleaned her thoroughly. He washed her body with the soap that she placed on the sponge she was holding.

"Wait. Don\'t." Cayenne uncovered her eyes to take back the sponge from him but she saw the giant monster once again. "Ahh. Go on." She closed her eyes and held on to his shoulder to keep her balance. "Must you do this to me?"

"We\'ll do this sooner or later. What\'s the difference of doing it now?" Stefan replied and continued to clean her. "Would you like to wash me up?"

"No. You clean yourself." She replied without opening her eyes at all. She looked so silly in front of him and her flushed face gave away her embarrassment.

Now, the two of them were lying on their bed, cuddling together. "You\'ve been stirring up my emotions and even though we didn\'t do anything, I\'m so tired." She whispered close to his chest.

"Should I enroll you to a gym? It would be better for you to build up your stamina."

"No, don\'t want to."

"It\'s for your best. I don\'t want you to collapse if we really do something naughty at night." Stefan whispered huskily before kissing the top of her head. "For now, let\'s just go to sleep. Good night, love."

"Good night." Cayenne kissed his jaw and closed her eyes to sleep.

The two of them were having a good time every day. The woke up, eat, do their work, go home and sleep. They weren\'t worried with their future at all. Unlike them, Magnus Dumrique was brewing a strong storm to attack the Minato group. Since they destroyed his family, it was just right for him to do the same thing.

Shein gave him all the information he got from his deep investigation and he also informed Stefan about it. That is to say, the Minato can be considered dead in his eyes. He didn\'t expect that using her mother as a bait, his old man would be willing to destroy everything he had all these years.

The next morning, as usual, Stefan and Cayenne went to work. He drove her to a café near the hotel since she insisted to walk the remaining few meters to the hotel.

"Have a good time working." Stefan kissed her lips as he helped her unfasten her seatbelt.

"You, too. Call me if someone bullies you." She stepped out of the car but before she closed it she smiled while pointing at his lips. "Wipe your lips. You\'ve got my lip gloss on you."

"That\'s fine. That\'s the proof that I kissed you."

"Whatever." Cayenne rolled her eyes at him. "I\'ve got to go. Drive safely and let me know once you\'ve arrived."

"Yes, mademoiselle." Stefan winked at her and she closed the door with a smile before turning around to walk the rest of the distance to the hotel.

Luna and Manager Kim were sitting together on a couch inside the employee\'s lounge, their faces were dark and they were both holding their phones. They wanted to confirm something.

"Yen! Thank god you\'re here." Luna stood up immediately as she called her friend\'s name. The other employees who were currently waiting for their shift time, turned their heads over to see what was happening. "Come over here."

"What\'s going on?"? Cayenne asked them. "Can I put my things inside my locker first?"

"No, you have to see this first." Luna opened up her phone and checked something. Usually, she wouldn\'t pay attention to this kind of things but she was alarmed when she found that it was the post of Arthur\'s mother that Cayenne met last week. "Remember the woman you met? I believe it was Arthur\'s mother. She left a review on our hotel and posted it in her timeline, too. She even mentioned your name."

"And it\'s a bad review I believe." Cayenne muttered. "That old woman is really childish." Cayenne commented.

"You have personal grudge with this woman?" Manager Kim asked her since she could see that Cayenne was familiar with the woman who slanders her.

"I don\'t have a grudge against her but she has a grudge against me." Cayenne replied to her manager. "She hates me for being friends with her son. I have been avoiding her son already and she was still making things difficult for me."

"Have you ever said anything to her son?" Luna asked.

"Nope. I didn\'t. Anyway, just let her be. Someone will deal with her later. I don\'t care about her and I won\'t let her ruin my day." Cayenne flipped her hair nonchalantly and stood up from her seat. "Don\'t let that crappy review get into you, too. It will be removed soon."

"The perks of being the lady boss." Manager Kim whispered which made Cayenne blushed.

"No, it\'s not like that." Cayenne waved her hand to deny the manager\'s claim. "I just know that he won\'t let this kind of thing to tarnish my name."

Luna gently pat her head and smiled. "You found a great man."

"I guess so." She replied with a deep blush. The \'great man\' she found was also great down there. She could no longer wipe the image of his naked body in front of her.

"Why are you blushing? What are you thinking?" Manager Kim questioned her. "Have you seen the boss with his nak-"

"Shh." Cayenne covered her manager\'s mouth instantly. "Don\'t say it. And no, I don\'t." It was a blatant lie but they believed Cayenne because she looked really innocent. The three of them whispered to each other when Cayenne\'s phone rang. She picked it up and saw the name \'One & Only\' flashing on her screen. She changed the name secretly and didn\'t tell him about it. "Let me answer his call." She walked towards her locker and opened it to put her things inside while answering Stefan\'s call.

"I just arrived and Chris showed me something that almost ruined my day." As he spoke, Stefan loosened his necktie to calm himself. Chris was walking beside him since they have to attend an early meeting while the other shareholders followed behind him.

They just discovered that the devil boss would show his childish side to the only woman he ever loved. He was like a bullied little kid who was calling his mother to tell what happened.

"And that something must be related to me, I believe."

"Right. It has something to do with you. Have you seen it, too?"

"Uh huh." She locked her locker and continued to talk to him since she still got few more minutes before her shift starts. "Don\'t think too much about it. I don\'t really care and don\'t let it ruin your day."

"Does that Arthur know what his mother did?"

"I don\'t know but maybe he does."

"You\'re not planning to ask his help to remove it, are you?" there was a hint of warning in his tone and that was clear to everyone who heard him inside the meeting room.

Cayenne chuckled upon hearing his question. He\'s really childish sometimes. "Why would I ask him when I have you? If you want to deal with it, just do whatever you want. I don\'t care."

"Alright. If you say so then, I\'ll do what I want to do."

"Sure." They talked for a little while more as Cayenne walked towards the biometric sensor. She was oblivious to the people staring at her, no, they were staring at her phone and her bracelet. "I\'ll have to work now. Let\'s talk again later."

"Bye Bye. Mwah!" Stefan printed a kiss on his phone screen, not embarrassed at all.

Cayenne could only thicken her face and do the same. "Bye. Mwah."

"Tsk! Stop being cheesy with him." Luna commented on the side. "You\'ll attract the ants here."

"You do the same with Ali if you\'re jealous." Cayenne retorted. This time, since she wasn\'t talking to Stefan and her focus was back to the hotel and her job, she realized that many employees were looking to her direction. "Is it just me or is everybody looking at me?"

"You just realized it now? I don\'t know why they\'re looking at you, though."

Cayenne wanted to ignore them but one of the employees approached her and looked at her phone. "Yenyen, where were you yesterday?"

"Me?" She was stunned to have someone ask about her whereabouts. "I was at home with my family. Although, I went out with a friend in the afternoon."

"Where did you get that phone cover? And that bracelet?" her colleague asked her again. "Don\'t get me wrong, we\'re just curious because of the photo that our boss posted yesterday."

"Oh! Is that the picture of her girlfriend? I saw that, too." Cayenne replied with a smile on her face. "If I wasn\'t with my friend, I would really think that the person he was with, was me. We were so identical. But I was with my friend, Luiz." She even used her brother\'s name to make up a lie.

"Oh. I see." The woman replied perfunctorily and nodded her head. "Sorry for doubting you."

"It\'s fine." Cayenne smiled. \'Actually, your doubt was right.\' She told herself mentally while giving everyone a smile. She didn\'t want to make issues at work.
