Cayenne ate her food without waiting for Stefan to coax her. After eating, she took a shower and dress herself up. "Let's go out and buy so books." She said. It was to distract herself from thinking too much and since it was her who asked to go out, Stefan instantly obliged.
They went to a bookstore and bought books related to her class but she also bought so novels that she can read to pass the ti.
"Uhh…do you want to drop by your company and do so work before going ho? I can help you with so stuff, too." Cayenne said. Although, she's trying hard to get back to her normal self, Stefan could still see the pain in her eyes.
"Okay. Let's go the company. Elena and Tristan missed you so much and were worried about you, too."
"I really caused so much trouble, don't I? Anyway, let's bring so sweets for snacks later."
"Sure. I have a very good café in mind that you would surely love."
After buying books, Stefan brought her to Sumr Café. It was the café that Jillyanna owned and when they arrived there, they were lucky enough to bump into the owner itself.
"Auntie Yen!" Jade exclaid when she saw the couple getting inside the café. "It's nice to see you again."
"It's nice to see you, too." Cayenne crouched low and gently pats the little girl's head. "Sorry for worrying you."
"I wasn't really worried because I know you'd get over it. You are strong and with Uncle Stefan looking after you, nothing could go wrong. Mourning is normal. I also fell into depression when my mother and my sister died but I have a new family now who's helping get through difficult tis."
"Jade is really a blessing."
"Auntie Yen, you are a blessing also. You are a blessing to my life, to Uncle Stefan's life and to your brothers' life."
Hearing her words, Cayenne finally smiled genuinely. Jillyanna also approached them and led them to an empty table where they could rest. "I'm glad that we got this chance to talk. How are you doing now?"
"I'm feeling a little bit better after getting an earful from my brother."
"We are really similar in so cases. Most of the ti, it's Lucian or Cielo scolding , too. There's no way Travis could scold and the twins wouldn't do it either."
"Stefan's the sa."
Stefan raised his eyebrow and reached out his hand to rubbed Cayenne's head. "Just so you know, it's the husband's job to spoil his wife."
"n of the sa pod." Jillyanna comnted while shaking her head. "Anyway, what do you guys like to have. It's on ."
"Great. I can save money." Stefan replied and this ti, it was Cayenne's turn to roll her eyes. "Do you want to order or shall I order for you?"
"You can order for us. I'll stay here and chat with Jill."
"Alright. I'll be back soon."
"It's okay if you won't co back soon. I won't steal your wife." Jillyanna retorted and pushed Stefan away.
Few minutes later, Cielo also joined them since she was done with work. Stefan watched his wife chat with her friends. At this mont, he already confird that she's getting better with her emotions.
They didn't take long at the café, though. After an hour, they left and went to the company with several sweets to share with the secretaries. It's been a while since her last visit and she saw many new faces in the company when she ca back this ti. But one thing that never change was Tristan and Elena's situation. The two of them were still on opposite sides of the globe, still fighting like cats and dogs, like oil and water that would never mix with each other.
"I already told you that the design is better this way." Elena stated with her hands on her hips.
"No. The color is too bright. There should be sothing to balance it. Balance alright?"
"Balance? That's not needed for a design. It's a season to be rry. Colors should be bright! Do you think we're going to celebrate the Halloween? Boss doesn't like Halloween."
"What's the month before December?"
"November." Elena answered instantly.
"See? You said it yourself."
"But – "
"No buts. Let's balance everything. That's how you should do it. That is why you are still single."
"What does these things have to do with my love life? And just so you know, you are single, too."
Tristan looked at Elena and a wide grin escaped from his lips. "Okay. Let's go for vibrant colors. I have the feeling that I won't be single for long if I agree with you on this."
"Your civil status has nothing to do with my choice of colors! Go away!" Elena pushed Tristan away from her even though she was using his computer.
When Cayenne and Stefan ca, the scene of cat and dog fighting was what greeted her. "When I last visited your office, they seed to be in good terms. Why are they fighting now?" Cayenne whispered to her husband while looking at Tristan and Elena.
"What I heard from Erwin was that Tristan started making things difficult for Elena when he saw her eating with one of the male accountants from the finance departnt."
"Oh. He's jealous?"
"Probably. I an, we all knew that he looked at her and treated her differently from other girls."
"Tsk! Still no progress?"
"Hn. The sa as always."
Every ti Elena raised her head to look at him sharply, Tristan would look away and pretend to be busy with sothing else. When she's not looking, he'd be staring at her once again.
'Sigh. These fools…' Cayenne could only shake her head as they approached them. "Ahem! Ahem!"
"Ah! Lady boss!" Elena jumped up and ran out of Tristan's room. She even intentionally stepped on his foot, making Tristan hiss in pain.
"Watch where you are going! Your heels hurt so much."
"I didn't see you."
"Are you blind?"
"I'm not. I just don't have eyes for you."
"I won't co to client etings with you again!"
Elena halted on her steps and turned around to look at him. "What did you say? You won't attend client etings with ? You're letting et those old fogies who might try to harass and lay their hands on ? Have you got no conscience? How could – "
Tristan raised his hand in front of her in surrender. "Alright. Stop your drama. I got it." He limply went back to his office, letting Elena chat with Cayenne.
"Don't bully him." Cayenne whispered to Elena as she pulled the girl to the side. "I have so sweets. You should share this with him."
"Hmp! He treated so badly these past few weeks. I don't even know what I did wrong and he won't tell either."
"I'll go to my office first." Stefan told Cayenne, giving the two won so ti to chat.
Cayenne pulled Elena to the couch at the lobby and the two of them sat together. "Do you think he likes you and was only doing this to get your attention?"
Elena grimaced at the thought and couldn't stop herself from sighing deeply. "He doesn't like . Ah! Perhaps he does. But I think he doesn't like as myself. He probably likes how I look. I an…wait…it confuses . Let show you sothing." Elena pulled out her phone and started searching for Tristan's sister. Tristan didn't have official social dia account but his sister does.
"Who is this girl?"
"This is Tristan's one and only sister." Elena answered in whisper, "But this is not the one that I want you to see. It's….this one…this picture." Elena pressed on a picture of Tristan's sister who was eating with another woman. And what really surprised Cayenne was the resemblance of Elena to the other woman.
"Who is she?" Cayenne questioned but now, she's pointing on the woman who looks like the person she was talking to right now. "Is she soone you know?"
"Nope. She's soone I could never surpass in my life. That's Tristan's fiancé."
"Ex- fiancé, you an."
"Yes. That's her." Elena zood the picture and looked at it together with Cayenne. "We look so similar, don't we? Now, you're telling that Tristan likes but I think, he only likes because I look like this woman. He doesn't like because of being . He probably likes being soone who resembles his late fiancé."
"How about you? Do you like him?"
"My feelings don't matter. Anyway, I'll find soone better than him. Lady boss, don't tell him about what we just talked, okay? Don't tell sir Stefan, too. He seems really close with Tristan and it would be troubleso if that monkey finds out."
Cayenne nodded her head in agreent but deep inside sothing's telling her that things will be falling into places soon. They just have to wait for the right ti.
In the anti, Tristan was also watching the sa picture that Elena was watching. She has no idea that Tristan has hacked her phone and can view whatever it was that she was looking at.
'So, she has been searching for things and people related to .'
