Chapter 47 - EXPOSED LIES

Cayenne was right with her intuition about Luiz. The next morning, she came home early since Stefan woke up early and he was also the one who cooked their breakfast. He was more of an employee instead of employer. He sent her home as well and as usual, he dropped her off two blocks away from her house.

It was Saturday but she had to go to work because she switched with Jessie to take a leave yesterday. Therefore, she wouldn't be going to the hospital with her siblings. The moment she arrived home, Kyle and Luiz were preparing to leave home.

"Good morning, sis." Luiz greeted her when she opened the door and came inside.

"Morning, Luiz. I wasn't able to talk to you guys yesterday." She commented while she was removing her sandals at the door. "Congratulations to you once again. By the way, my boss has something for you."

"For me? He knew me? Have I met him before? Why will he give me something?"

"You have so many questions." Cayenne stated and flicked his forehead while handing the big and heavy bag. "He probably investigated me before hiring me and that's probably how he knew you."

"Probably." Kyle reiterated as he emerged from the kitchen.

"I am not really sure but I did tell him that I have two smart brothers and one of them got an award. He just bought that thing and gave it to me last night."

"Really? You didn't borrow the money for this?" Luiz and Kyle asked in unison.

"Why don't you take a look so you would know if I would dare borrow some money for that."

Kyle and Luiz looked at each other before taking the bag inside and the three of them went to the living room. When they took out the box, her brothers' eyes were wide open from shock. They looked at their sister before looking back to the box.

"Seriously?! As in seriously?!" Luiz exclaimed in disbelief. "This is just a packaging, right? There's no way someone one would give me something like this."

Cayenne rolled her eyes and crossed her arms over her chest. "I had the same expression and thought as you. Anyway, he told me that he made something for you and you would know once you open it."

"Then, I'll open it to know what's inside."

"Alright. I'll go and prepare for my work. Just let me know what's inside later."

"Okie dokie."

Cayenne left them alone to check what the gadget really looks like and what was inside it. She needed to start preparing for work.

Luiz was still overwhelmed with the gift he received. Kyle helped him open it and the two of them stared at the sleek and great piece of gadget in front of them. It was just a dream for them but now, they really received one. There were so many possibilities in Kyle's mind while watching his brother unbox his gift. One doubt of him was that, the item was fake.

When they fully opened it, they saw the papers and everything that will prove its authenticity. There was also another smaller box. Cayenne wasn't able to see it because she didn't really look inside the bag. She just judged what she saw in the surface without really looking inside it.

Aside from the MacBook Pro that Stefan gave him, there was a blue iPad Air 4 which was for Kyle. There was a small paper slipped on the box which contained a note for them. Kyle and Luiz looked towards each other, unsure what to do and how exactly they should feel.

They were happy at the same time, worried for their sister. It was worrisome to receive something from a person they have never known.

-MAKE SURE YOU DON'T STRESS YOUR SISTER WHEN IT COMES TO SCHOOL MATTER. THIS GIFTS ARE JUST A SIMPLE TOKEN OF APPRECIATION FROM ME. I ADMIRE YOUR SISTER SO MUCH AND I DON'T WANT HER TO BE WORRIED ALL THE TIME. DO YOUR BEST AND HELP OUT YOUR SISTER WHENEVER YOU CAN. CHEER UP! I WILL NEVER EXTORT YOUR SISTER FOR SOMETHING SO MUNDANE. SO, DON'T WORRY. –

"Is Yen's boss, a guy?" Kyle asked his younger brother even though the other had no idea as well. He was worried that her boss will use this against her in the future.

"Do you think she likes our sister like how Arthur likes her?" Luiz questioned as well. "I mean, no one would give us something like this without anything in return."

"Let's not judge him right away. He did leave a note for us and he was asking as to make sure that we won't cause a stress to our dear sister. That means, our sister really helps him or her. Let's just hope that he will be true to his words."

"I guess that's what we can do."

The two of them explored the gadget they received and they even forgot that they needed to go to the hospital. If Cayenne didn't come out, they wouldn't be able to leave on time.

"Did he send two items?" Cayenne asked her brothers as they walked in the street towards the bus station. "I noticed that Kyle was holding a smaller box earlier. I just forgot to ask about it."

"Did you receive it without checking what's inside?" Kyle asked in disbelief. "So, you didn't know that he gave me an iPad Air?"

"No, I don't. I thought he only gave something for Luiz. He said it was for my brother, not brothers."

Luiz stopped walking and blocked his sister's way. "By the way sis, your boss is a male, right? Is he married?"

"No, he is not."

"He is not? Didn't you tell us that you are working as a baby sitter at night? Is he a single father, then?"

Cayenne was completely baffled. She tripped on her own lies and now, her brothers were looking at her with doubtful and sad expression crossing on their handsome faces.

"Let's talk about it next time. I'm getting late already." Cayenne ran away from them. Instead of taking a bus, she took a taxi to work, pretending that she was really in a hurry this time.

"She lied."
