Chapter 185 - ANGRY CAYENNE

"Yen!"

Cayenne looked to the left side and looked to the right. Two people were calling her name at the same and she didn't expect the other one to be around. "Morning Lulu." She greeted her friend before turning to Arthur. "I didn't expect you to be here. Are you staying as a guest?"

"Not really. I just want to check on you. It's been a while since we last saw each other." Arthur replied to her. "You didn't come home last night so I decided to come over here."

"You went to the apartment?" Darkness loom over Cayenne's face when she heard him. She leaned closer to him and whispered. "Didn't I tell you not to visit our home anymore? Someone will come over and will make things difficult for me again."

"My mom won't hassle your family anymore." Arthur told her with a faint smile. "I've talked to her already.

"Oh! You knew?"

"Hn. I found out just recently." Arthur took a deep breath and sigh. "Yen, is it because of my mother that you're keeping me at arm's length? Is it because of her that you've avoided me after five years?  We were so close back then. We depended on each other and we're doing great. I didn't expect that when I came back, you'd be so distant and cold to me." He looked sad while he sounded accusing towards Cayenne. He may have not meant it that way but to Cayenne it looked like it was her fault that there's a huge change between them.

Well, she can't really deny it because the moment she took a step back and did what his mother asked her five years ago, her feelings for him has change.

"Sorry, Arthur. I didn't know you'd be so affected by this whole matter. I admit, what we have back then was something special for me but it's all in the past. I buried everything down when your mother looked down on me."

"But Yen, you're never this type of person who will just do something because someone said so. And besides, you can't really say that my mother was looking down on you. What she said were facts. You're poor and –"

"I know!" Cayenne snapped at him. "My feelings don't concern you or your family as long as you're stating the facts. So, what the hell are you doing here? Stop making excuses that you're checking on me! In truth, you just don't want me to surpass your status." Cayenne retorted in anger. "Stop coming to see me. I'm warning you, just stop seeing me. If your mother can make things difficult for me, someone on my side can do the same now. Don't wait for me to do something against your family. I'm kind enough to warn you because of our past relationship."

Arthur wanted to say something and take back what he just said but Cayenne already turned around and left him alone to start working. He wanted to apologize but it seemed like, he won't be able to do it anymore.

The atmosphere inside the employee's lounge was a bit depressing. No one spoke aloud and no one dared to approach Cayenne except for Luna. This was the first time that they had seen her become angry. She was trembling in anger and her hands were clenched into tight fists.

"Oh god! He made me want to smash a vase on his face!" Cayenne whispered furiously. "I can't believe he said those words to me! Argh! I'm so angry."

While she was seething in anger, Stefan's call came. She picked it and her face mellowed a little when she was talking to him.

"I heard that Arthur came." Stefan blurted out the moment she answered the phone. "And he angered you."

"Who told you?" Cayenne questioned and looked around. She found Luna clutching with her phone who gave her a playful wink. "I guess it's Lulu." She added since Stefan didn't say anything on the other side.

"So, what did he say that angers you?"

"Nothing. Seeing his face angered me already. What ever comes from his mouth just made me even more angry. But I'm fine."

"Are you sure? You don't want me to come and comfort you?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? You should do your work. We skipped our work yesterday so you better do something about your own stuff."

"Yes, ma'am." Stefan replied with a series of chuckle. "But I can still do my job after comforting you." He added, still insistent on comforting her.

"My dear husband, I'm really fine. Don't come because they're starting to suspect me already. Do you want to expose us?"

"Fine. Fine. I won't come but I'll surely come and pick you up after work. Let's go home together."

"Okay." Cayenne smiled sweetly even though he can't see her face.

"I love you, my little wife."

"I love you too, my big wolf."

"Tsk! Flaunting your love in front of so many single dogs, aren't you afraid that we'll bite you?" Luna commented when Cayenne ended the call.

"Wasn't it your fault? Why did you tell him that Arthur came? That idiot might come over here."

"Didn't you tell him that you're fine and he didn't have to come over?"

"Oh! Lulu, you just don't know. Whether I tell him to come or not, he will still come over even when he said that he won't."

"Why?"

"Because he wanted to see for himself that I'm fine. He thinks that I'm an easy target for bullies because I look small."

Luna laughed at this response. She didn't know that the devil boss had a cute and a sweet side. However, these characteristics can only be directed to Cayenne. "I wish Ali can be like him."

"Don't compare Ali to him. Your boyfriend has unique character and attitude. He's perfect for you and besides, you've been through together. You knew each other so well already."

"By the way, what happened to you and Arthur? Isn't he your first love?"
