Chapter 263 - SOLVING STEFAN'S PROBLEM
Seiji didn't expect to be called by Cayenne to her house at night. He left with a dejected expression in the afternoon but now, he was feeling recharged again.
"Good evening, Cayenne. Flowers for you." Seiji gave her pink roses plus a beaming bright smile on his lips.
Feeling conflicted, Cayenne accepted the flowers and handed it to Erwin. "Place it inside the vase in the kitchen."
"O-okay." Erwin accepted the flowers and brought it to the kitchen.
"Have a seat." Cayenne gestured for Seiji to sit on the couch across her. "I'm not really sure if we should talk about this but, I just wanted to know sothing."
"What is it?"
"Uhm…I heard that you've been acquiring shares from Stefan's companies. Is that true?"
"Where did you hear that? Did your husband tell you?" Seiji had to thread carefully specially that he was using those shares to force Stefan to divorce her. He wasn't sure if Cayenne knew about this fact though.
Cayenne clasped her fingers together and placed her chin on top of it. "Stefan didn't tell about it. I heard it from soone else. With my husband's pride, there's no way he'd tell about these things."
"Doesn't that an he didn't trust you enough to tell you about his company problems?"
"It's not about trust. I have promised that I won't interfere with his business problems because I don't want to add to his burdens. However, you're my friend, I was wondering why you're doing this? And soone even told that you're using it to ask Stefan to divorce . Is the news true? If so, why would you do that? Why are you trying to ruin my life and my marriage?"
Seiji looked towards Cayenne with hooded eyes. He didn't want to give up on her. He loved her for several years. How can Stefan win over her with just few years of knowing each other?
"Do you really love him?"
"Yes."
"I can give you all the shares that I acquire from his companies, will you leave him in exchange for that?"
"No, I don't need those shares. I'm content with my life."
Seiji chuckled faintly as he crossed his legs and leaned on the back of the couch to relax himself. "I did ask Stefan to leave you in exchange of the shares that I acquired. I told him to divorce you but he refused. I started attacking his other subsidiary companies and still got refused."
"Why? Why would you do that?"
"Because I like you. I liked you first but he ca and stole you from . At the sa ti, I realized that you were never mine to begin with and you have the right to choose who you should love. So, I decided to test the person who got your heart." Seiji knew that he lost to Stefan. The years that he had known Cayenne couldn't compare to the ti that she had known Stefan but, matters of the heart, it cannot be explained rationally. He can only choose to stop and back out with his pride still intact.
"So, you an, everything that I heard were just a misunderstanding, right?"
"Yes. I was just trying to see how much Stefan can hold out with his love for you. And I must say, he's very loyal to you. I have acquired a lot of shares that amounts to billion if exchanged but he didn't care at all."
"I knew it. There's no way that you would do such malicious thing. You're my friend after all and I like you as well. If I don't like you, how could we be friends? I'm happy that everything's just a misunderstanding. So, what are you planning to do with those shares?"
"It's a secret. You will find out in the future but I assure you, I will stop using them to test Stefan and I won't acquire any more of his shares."
"Okay. I'm looking forward to it."
"Can I still visit you sotis?"
"Sure. I don't really mind. Can you give a sec? I just want to check sothing."
"Okay."
Cayenne stood up and walked to the dining area. After making sure that Erwin was done preparing their dinner, she went out once again. "Would you like to stay and have dinner with us?"
"Can I?"
"Of course. It's been a while since we shared al together. I wish Marian and Arthur are here to join us, too."
"Are you still friends with Arthur? I heard about what happened in the hotel that you worked before. I didn't expect that he'd say those words, though."
"Arthur must have been drunk." Cayenne laughed it off and pulled her chair to sit. "Erwin let's eat."
"Yes, young miss. Just give a mont."
With the Seiji's issue being cleared up, Cayenne ate a hearty dinner with him and Erwin. The three of them talked about trivial matter – none of them spoke about business or anything related to companies.
After dinner, Cayenne walked him out of her house while reminiscing about their past. "I'm happy that I am friends with you." Cayenne comnted when they reached his car. "Seiji, don't tie yourself to the past. You deserve to be happy and I know that soone out there is waiting for you."
"Thank you, Yen. I'm happy that you didn't shun after what happened."
"How can I? You only thought what was best for and checked if my husband truly loves . Thank you for doing that."
"Alright. Let's not talk about it anymore. It's getting late already. I'll take my leave now."
"Okay. Be careful and see you next ti."
"See you."
Cayenne watched him got inside his car and drove out of her property. When she finally lost sight of him, she pulled out her phone and sent a ssage to Stefan.
Stefan was currently reading the docunts that needed his approval when he received Cayenne's ssage. 'I've taken care of Seiji's problem. You don't have to worry about it.'
"Thank you, wifey. What do you want for a reward?"
'Matcha Cake.'
