Chapter 28 - GARNERING UNNECESSARY ATTENTION
They finally arrived back in City A and they went to the largest supermarket. Chris parked the car at the basent and the two of them alighted the car, leaving Chris to look after their vehicle. It would be difficult if soone would do sothing to an expensive car.
"Are we going to buy the equipnt first or are we going to buy the groceries?" Cayenne asked while picking up her bag from the backseat. Stefan was waiting for her and when she turned around to face him, he gave her a cap. "What's this for?" she asked while holding the end of the cap.
"That's to hide your face. Soone might see us and I don't want to put you in a difficult situation."
"O-okay." Cayenne just put on her face mask that she brought from ho to hide her little face. Stefan just smiled before walking beside her towards the elevator.
People in City knew of him – the man who changes his girl like how often he changed his socks. Which ans every day. People see him every day with a different woman beside him. He would always show them around and he never bothered hiding their faces. He dated celebrities, writers, young directors, managers, nurses, doctors; anyone that can catch his attention. The only thing that he didn't do was to date his employees. Now, everything has change.
He wasn't really dating Cayenne but he planned to keep her to himself. He needed her – an employee in his hotel who can cure his insomnia.
The two of them went to the appliance's store and bought an oven toaster and coffee maker first.
"Let's just get the latest model. It will be better compared to the old items." Stefan ntioned to Cayenne while looking at the oven toaster in front of him.
"We won't really need the latest one. I don't think we'll be using it so much so the old models should be fine. Besides, they have the sa usage. There's not much of a difference."
"But I think the latest ones are better." Stefan tried to convince her again. "Well, I'll be the one paying for it so, I can choose."
"Why did you even bother to listen to my opinion?"
"Because you also have a point." Stefan responded and grinned at her. "Anyway, let's just get the latest models for the oven toaster and the coffee maker."
"Alright. I don't mind. I won't be spending my money, anyway."
Stefan just chuckled and asked the saleslady to get their latest models for both items. After buying these two things, they went to the grocery area.
"Was that Stefan Dumrique?" one of the salesladies questioned her co-worker who sold them the appliances.
"I think so. I don't know anyone with that face aside from him." The saleslady answered.
"Who was that girl? New woman to play with?"
"Who knows? All those girls are just the sa. They would bed him for money."
"But don't you think it's odd this ti? The lady was covering her face. Before, they would always show themselves."
"Maybe she was the shy type. Shy to show her embarrassing self."
The gossiped about Cayenne and Stefan when the two finally left. This was what Stefan was worried about. He didn't want anyone to see Cayenne because they will judge her badly because of his own past actions. He didn't want her to suffer because of him.
Cayenne knew about his reputation but ever since they got to live under the sa roof, she realized that he wasn't that bad. At the sa ti, she still stayed alert around him knowing that he's a man. Any mont, he might do sothing uncalled for against her.
The two of them went to the grocery store under the obvious gazes of people. He was a known person in city A and his relationships with won was known as well. This ti, they were curious of the identity of the woman beside him. Sadly, Cayenne was wearing a cap and a face mask to avoid them seeing her.
"Let's buy the bathroom necessities first. Then, the dry goods and lastly, would be the cold cuts and the at." Cayenne told him to make sure that there's order to their shopping and for them to save ti as well.
"Sure. I've got no problem with that." He chose a large cart and pushed it while Cayenne walked beside him. Cayenne was smaller and petite thus, her strides were also smaller in distance compared to Stefan's. Seeing that he was walking too fast, he adjusted his pace for her and they walked side by side together.
"Thank you for the sweets earlier. I really love them."
"I'm glad you like them. I wasn't really sure which one you like so, I bought one slice of each kind."
"I like matcha the most." Cayenne told him. "How about you? Do you have any favorite food? Maybe I can make them for you."
"I don't really have any favorite food but I like the dishes you cook for us. It reminds of my brother."
"Does he like to cook food as well?"
"He cooked for and no one else."
"He must have loved you so much."
"He did. He was the only one who cares for ." He responded while pushing the cart. Realizing what he said, he imdiately looked at her and took back his words. "Forget what I just said."
"There's no way I'd forget that but, I won't bring it either." Cayenne replied. Her faint smile was reassuring and she was being sincere in front of him. "Anyway, you have now. I'll take care of your sleeping problem until you can fully sleep on your own without beside you."
"No way!"
"Huh?" Cayenne looked at him in confusion. "No, what?"
"N-nothing." His eyes looked a little sad but he didn't say anything more than that.
They continued to buy stuff as if nothing happened. Cayenne ignored the curious eyes directed at her and Stefan made sure to keep her close to him.
