Chapter 71 - INDULGING HER

Cayenne thought that he was just kidding. What she said was just a passing remark and she didn't really mean to get any special treatment from him. But when he said he would indulge her, he meant what he said.

Stefan cooked for their breakfast and made sure that she ate a lot since she needed to be doing a hard labor in the hotel. Her work wasn't really hard but it was a physical work that needs so much strength and energy, unlike him who will just be sitting in his office and do mind work.

"Do you want to bring some food for your lunch? I can make a bento for you." Stefan offered to her.

"No. No need. I can manage." Cayenne responded while shaking her head back and forth.

"Okay." Stefan stated. He pulled out his phone and sent a message to Kyle, asking them not to make food for Cayenne so that he can do his part as a 'boyfriend'. Reading his message, Kyle agreed with him. They ate all the food and left a note for Cayenne that they were not able to set aside food for her.

As expected, when Cayenne came home there was a small note on the table for her. "Sorry sis. We forgot to set aside your portion of food. Please buy your lunch in a convenience store later." Cayenne read it out loud before sending a message to her brothers with her response.

She went to her mother's room to check on her and after that, she went inside her own room to change clothes. She had no idea that everything was planned by Stefan. She wanted to be indulged? Then, he will indulge her.

Cayenne went to work with no food for lunch. If she had known that this will happen, she would accept Stefan's offer to make bento for her.

Stefan was busy with work but he made sure that there's no pending work for him between 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM. He wanted to choose food for her lunch and have it delivered to her. Of course, he couldn't deliver it himself so, he will ask someone else to deliver it for him.

He went to one of his owned restaurants and asked his employees to prepare a bento box for him. He chose everything from the appetizer to the desserts. Cayenne likes to eat sweets so, he made sure to include matcha and red velvet cake. He didn't include any drinks because it will be additional sweets for her.

"Can I borrow a pen and paper?" Stefan asked the chef.

"Yes, sir. Wait a minute." The head chef went to find a paper and pen for their boss. Stefan chose Cayenne's food directly from the kitchen, fresh from the pans and kettles. When the head chef came back, he brought a piece of stationary paper and a glittered pen. Why? Because he figured out that the food will be for someone special. How did he know? Because it was the first time they saw their boss exerting so much effort for someone's lunch. He wasn't even like that with his food. He didn't choose the food because of its expensive price, because of its foreign name or because it was the most delicious.

He chose the food base on its taste and base on its calorie counts. He was conscious of her health. He avoided acidic food as well because Cayenne has ulcer.

'No sweetened drinks for you. Water is healthier after a heavy meal.' He placed the note on top of the bent and placed a tape to keep it in place. The chef looked for a paper bag to place the bento inside. Stefan bought his own food and made it into another bento box so that he can eat it inside his suite.

After making sure that he didn't forget anything, he asked Chris to drive him to Clover Hotel before lunch break. He sent a message to Cayenne to wait for something at the reception area and he called for a random young passerby, paid him $10 to have him deliver the food to Cayenne without telling her from whom the food came from.

$10 was already big for someone who will deliver food in a place less than kilometer away. The youngster that Stefan found agreed immediately. He went inside with him but Stefan stopped for a minute to let the man continue his way. The employees saw him and whoever pass by him, greeted him.

Cayenne saw him as well. He wasn't looking her way but she knew that Stefan must be watching her from his peripheral vision.

"Excuse me." The youngster called for their attention. "I'm looking for Ms. Cayenne Ardolf."

"That's me." Cayenne presented herself and the man looked at her name plate as well.

"Uhm. Someone asked me to give you this. It's for your lunch."

Luna, Manager Kim and Celine who happened to be with her at that time looked towards Cayenne. There were teasing smiles on their lips but nobody said anything since there were guests around and their boss was also present.

"Thank you." Cayenne received the item. "Do I need to sign anything?"

"No need. He's watching us at this moment." The youngster answered. "I'll go now. Enjoy your meal."

Cayenne nodded her head and looked towards Stefan who was talking to one of the guards.

"Who sent it?" Luna asked. "Is it your siblings or is it your boyfriend?"

Manager Kim looked at her before shifting her gaze towards their boss who was now looking at Cayenne but Cayenne was busy hiding her blush at this moment. She was really embarrassed.

Stefan sent her a message and when Cayenne pulled out her phone to read the message, Manager Kim saw the design of the phone covers. "No doubt, the boss is in love." She whispered as she looked towards Cayenne with a smile. "It's lunch break now. Go and eat your lunch while the others cover for your break."

"Yes, manager Kim."

Cayenne turned around to see Stefan for one last time. "Thank you." She mouthed these words when no one was watching them.

'I'm indulging you with lunch because your brothers forgot.' This was the message that he sent her. Cayenne couldn't help herself from smiling and her heart felt so warm with his gesture.

Stefan also watched her with a smile hanging on his face. He was happy to see her happy with that simple meal he gave her.
