Chapter 245 - MISSED OPPORTUNITY
Stefan left the Seiji's company with darkness on his face. Everyone who saw him shivered from fear. They didn't even try greeting him out of politeness.
Few minutes ago,…
"Mr. Sy, I'm afraid I can't do that. Cayenne is my wife and I have no intention of divorcing her." Stefan stated and pushed the docunts away from him. "I love my wife. I won't exchange her for a re number of shares."
"Well, looks like we'll be facing each other more often Mr. Dumrique." Seiji responded with a smile. A smile that never reaches his eyes but instead, it made him looked even colder and devilish. "I hope you won't regret your decision today."
Stefan stood up and left the room without looking back.
Now, he was sitting on his car with Chris driving it as usual. "Stefan, I don't think that man was joking. He wasn't saying those things out of friendship with Cayenne." Chris stated while taking glances on the rearview mirror. He wasn't speaking as a secretary's point but from a friend's view instead. "If I am not mistaken, Seiji Sy likes Cayenne. This was sothing we have overlooked."
"I already had a faint idea about it but I wanted to get confirmation. At the sa ti, I think Cayenne wasn't seeing him in the sa view as he sees her."
"That's a fact." Chris agreed. "But what are you planning to do now? If they continue to attack your companies, you will lose your position as the CEO of several companies."
"Losing the position won't matter to . As long as I have my own shares, Cayenne and I can get by with it." Stefan replied in nonchalance. As long as Cayenne stays with him, he won't be bothered with what Seiji does to his businesses. "Book the next flight to City A. Let's go back ho."
"Okay."
Cayenne had no idea what transpired during this ti. Stefan hadn't called her. Seiji who promised to co didn't co as well though, it didn't matter to her.
"Luiz, Kyle, I will go and visit Jonas and tell him about our mother's death. I'll try to ask if he can visit during her burial or the next days for her funeral. If you need for sothing urgent, don't hesitate to call ." Cayenne told her brothers while preparing herself to leave. Her eyes weren't swollen anymore which was why she volunteered herself to go.
"Yen, will you be alright?"
"Hn. I will be fine. Don't worry about ."
"How about I go with you?" Luiz suggested. "I think it will be better if I'm with you."
"But Kyle will be needing your help here." Cayenne replied to his brother. He tussled his hair and smile just to reassure him. "Trust on this."
"I understand." Luiz nodded his head. "I'll stay with Kyle here. Be careful."
"Hn. See you later." Cayenne left in a hurry, missing the chance to see her own father face to face.
Reuben Montefalco arrived at the funeral ho just few minutes after Cayenne left. He looked around to see his daughter but he couldn't find her. The two n, her stepbrothers, were taking care of the visitors and found him standing at the entrance.
"Hello. How can I help you?" Kyle asked politely, looking at the man from head to toe. He was certain that he had seen him sowhere but he couldn't rember where and when.
Reuben coughed drily to clear his throat and handed Kyle a small envelope as his alms for the funeral. "I'm here to attend Erald's funeral. You must be her eldest son."
"Yes." Kyle answered politely. "Please co in. Are you my mother's friend?"
"I don't think she considers her friend. I think she sees as an enemy. I'm not even sure if I should co here."
"That's alright. My mother won't take it to heart if you co to see her for the last ti." Kyle responded while showing him the way to a vacant table.
"You have a sister, right? Where is she?"
Kyle's eyes suddenly dimd when he rembered sothing. Although he had no rights to get angry to him, he still felt bad for what Cayenne and his mother went through when Jonas didn't co to their life. "You're Cayenne's father." He said. This made Reuben felt a bit awkward. "Don't worry, I won't chase you out. Also, my sister isn't here. She left to visit our father."
"You an, your father?"
"Hn."
"What ti will she co back?"
"I'm not really sure. If nothing goes wrong, she'll be back after three hours."
"I see."
After Kyle gave him a glass of juice and pastries, the two of them sank into a deafening silence. "I'll go over and greet the other guests." Kyle spoke to break the silence. He was about to leave when Reuben held his hand to stop him from leaving. "Do you need sothing else?"
"Can I talk to you for a mont?" Kyle nodded his head and sat down once again. "My na is Reuben Montefalco. I am Cayenne's biological father. I actually ca here with the intention to get my daughter back but I am not sure what to do? I also heard that she's married to Stefan Dumrique. I am not really against it but I am wondering if she was treated right by that man."
"Sorry to cut you off but, you must be aware that you don't have a say to Cayenne's relationships after you abandoned her, right?"
"Hn."
"And you must be aware as well that Cayenne won't go back with you. After all, you never showed up when she needed you the most."
"Hn."
Kyle felt so angry for his sister but he also didn't want to give the man a hard ti. At the end of the day, he was still Cayenne's biological father. "Mr. Montefalco, I am not against your decision of taking our sister back. You are still his father no matter how we flip the world. However, the decision still lies in her hand. You should talk to her when she's back."
"Thank you."
"No problem. I'll get back to work now." Kyle left him with a heavy heart. 'If Yen leaves us to go with him, I will have to find a place to work. I need to take care of my own brother.'
