Chapter 142 - DELIBERATE ACCIDENT

When she got back in his suite, everything was neatly arranged on the trolley and Stefan was just waiting for her. "Thanks for helping me." She muttered while she took her bag with her.

"No need to be polite. It's only natural for me to help my girlfriend." Stefan stated. He pulled her and made her sit on his lap. "Don't bring your bag downstairs. "he muttered before kissing her chin.

"Why not?" she asked, letting him do what she wanted, as long as he won't be crossing his boundaries.

Stefan just kissed her. He's contented with this physical intimacy between them. He wanted to wait for the day that the two of them gets married before he will ask for his award. So, he would never cross her bottom line. He kissed the tip of her nose before he answered. "They will be wondering why you still have your bag when you're coming down from here. Just leave it here. I'll bring it down with me once we're about to go home."

"You're. Right. I'll just bring my phone, then."

"Hn." Stefan nodded his head. He let go of her and Cayenne stood up from his lap. "I'll send you a message from time time."

"I don't mind that."

"I will wait for you here."

"Okay. Make sure to get some sleep when you can. You're still recovering, after all."

"Yes, ma'am." Stefan responded which made her giggle. His eyes held gentle love and care. "Don't tire yourself so much."

After talking for few minutes, Cayenne finally left the room once again. This time, she was pushing a trolley with many empty dishes. She sent the things directly to the kitchen and went back to the lounge.

Not only manager Kim was waiting for her, Luna was there, too.

"So, what happened?" Luna questioned when she saw Cayenne coming inside.

Cayenne sat on the couch first since Celine haven't asked for her yet. Which means, they didn't have anything to work at the moment. "Someone drove over a motorcycle to his car."

"Was it deliberate?" Manager Kim asked.

"I am not sure but it seemed like it to me." Cayenne responded. "Chris got minor injuries; since the motorcycle hit Stefan's side, he got more injuries and his head hit on something."

"Was it severe?"

"No, it wasn't. However, he needed to come twice a week for a check-up." Cayenne answered. "I'm sorry for skipping work earlier."

"It's fine. Don't mind it. In any case, it's the boss who will be paying you not us. He can make you go on absent whenever he wants."

"No. No, this won't happen again. We've talked about this already."

Manager Kim stood up after a long sigh of relief. "It's good to know that he's fine.  Let's all go back to work."

"Yes, Ms. Kim."

The three of them left the employee's lounge one after another. Cayenne went to find Celine who was at the laundry area. When the two met, Celine asked if she was doing fine. In all the times that they've spent together and from what she knew from other employees who used to work at night, Cayenne wasn't the type who will skip work unless something serious happens at home. So, she thought that something must have bothered her.

Cayenne felt guilty and she tried her best to reassure the woman that she's perfectly fine.

Back inside the President's suite, Stefan was browsing the information that Chris got after the investigation conducted by the police officers related to the accident yesterday.

The driver of the car who chased after them as well as the driver of the motorcycle who bumped into his car were actually friends and they were hired to kill him. However, the order came through phone calls and the money they received were sent through overseas wire transfer. They didn't know who really asked them to kill Stefan.

"Who's in-charge of the investigation?" Stefan asked.

"I've heard that it's officer Seville. If I remember correctly, he's Mrs. Madrigal's brother-in-law." Chris responded. He was sitting opposite Stefan with an iPad in his hand. "I have checked the origin of the IP address for the wire transfer and I found that it was indeed from overseas. However, there's a chance that it was just a cover."

"I'll ask Travis for help. Maybe Shein can do something to crack the IP address."

"Should I make a call to him?"

"No need. I'll deal with it myself. Just focus on the investigation about my mother. I need to know something. I'm so full of doubts right now."

"I understand." Chris mumbled while handing the iPad to him. "This is the financial report for last November 15 to this date."

"Thanks."

The two of them talked about business and would review the report together. They had so many things to talk about specially the new projects of the company. They were so busy that Stefan forgot to send a message to Cayenne. It wasn't until half past three in the afternoon, that he was able to send her a message – asking her to come over but, Cayenne was still working so she didn't come over.

"I'll take a break at 4:00 PM. I'll come and check on you." Cayenne replied to his message and continued to work after pocketing her phone.

Exactly four in the afternoon, Manager Kim looked for her with different pastries. "The boss needs this to entertain his guests. Please bring it over to him."

Cayenne knew what the manager was doing and she was thankful for her understanding. She also knew that Stefan had called the manager to make an excuse to make Cayenne go up to his room. 'This man is really unreasonable. His being very calculative even to our relationship.' She couldn't blame him though. After all, the two of them decided to keep her identity hidden to the public.

She brought the refreshments up to his room and stayed there for quarter an hour. Stefan told her about the possibility of paying a visit to the Madrigal's home but they couldn't do it as of the moment since Stefan and his family left the country for a week-long vacation. They needed to wait for them to come back before they can go and visit them.

Cayenne was so excited! She forgot the real purpose of their visit. Her image was full of Jillyanna, the woman she adored so much.

She can finally see her again!
