Chapter 321 - LUNA RESIGNS

One hour before Luna's end of shift, Cayenne and Stefan arrived. Chris didn't come along with them since he needed to go back to the office and finalize everything before going home. And he also made plans with Rissy. He needed to strike while the iron was hot.

Arthur had been following Cayenne and Stefan all day long and he felt so exhausted. He was parking his car at the basement while watching the couple stepped out of the car and went to the elevator together. They were happily holding each other's hands while he was full of anger and misery.

"If you don't stop, you will end up hurting yourself and hurting Yenyen even more." It was a message from Seiji.

He had been trying his best to reach out to Arthur, reminding him what he will lose if he continued what he was doing. Even so, he couldn't bring himself to stop. He didn't want to lose Cayenne.

Stefan didn't need to turn around to know that someone was tailing them because his secret guards were letting him know ahead of time. No one can do anything to them unless he allows it.

Stefan went to his private suite while Cayenne went to find Luna at the reception desk. Her best friend was still busy with work so she sat on the couch to wait for her, receiving curious glances from her ex-colleagues.

"Yenyen, you're here? Is the boss around, too?" one of her previous colleagues asked Cayenne.

"Hn. He's inside his suite. I'm waiting for Luna."

"Oh! Did you hear that she's resigning, too?"

"Resigning?" Cayenne returned the question in surprise. "I didn't know she's resigning. I just came to have dinner with her." She turned to look at the reception desk and found Luna looking at her with a faint smile. She looked back to her ex-colleague and smiled as well. "I'll talk to her later."

"Alright. It's between you friends. We'll go back to work now. See you."

"See you around." Cayenne waved her hand as well to bid farewell.

Manager Kim saw her sitting on the couch at the lobby and asked if she needed anything to drink. Cayenne shook her head, to say she needed nothing and the manager left her on her own accord.

To other people, it would have been awkward to know that your colleague has become your boss but to them, they never thought too much about it. Cayenne's friends still remained friends with her. They didn't treat her any differently than how they treated her before. Although, they become a lot more respectful to her.

After an hour of waiting, Stefan came out to meet with Cayenne and Luna logged off from work as well to meet with her best friends. When she went to the lobby, she found Stefan sitting beside Cayenne, waiting for her to finish work.

"Where are we eating tonight?" Luna asked them in excitement, concealing her anxiousness regarding her resignation. She hadn't said anything to Cayenne about it yet.

"We'll eat here in the hotel. Stefan already made reservations."

"Okay."

Stefan stood up first and walked ahead of them while Cayenne and Luna chatted behind him. The two friends hadn't seen each other for a little while now and Cayenne didn't even know that Luna was resigning. She thought that everything's alright. And Luna loved her job, so what makes her resign.

"Lulu, I heard that you're resigning." Cayenne asked her best friend even before they could take a seat. She really wanted to know why she's leaving the hotel.

Luna looked towards her boss a little awkwardly but since they've known quiet sometimes because of Cayenne, she just told them the truth behind her resignation.

"Remember that I told you how I left home? Ali and I was keen on making our own family. I didn't care about what my parents want for me. I left for several years now and that's how I found this job as a receptionist. I like my work and I'm doing fine. However, last week, my parents called me. My grandfather is ill and has been asking me to come home. I don't really want to complicate anything so I have decided to resign and go back home with Ali."

"I see. Have they accepted your relationship with Ali?"

Luna took a deep breath and sighed. "They said that they won't interfere with our relationship. Hopefully, they'll keep their words. In any case, I can always runaway and live my life if they don't like the path I'm taking. I can give up anything except my boyfriend and you know that."

Cayenne knew Luna's situation and she knew that the day will come for her to go back home. She only wished for her to be healthy and happy all the time. Hopefully, her parents wouldn't ask her to break up with Ali.

"I wish you happiness whatever your choice is." Cayenne told Luna and even gave her shoulder a gentle pat. If they force you to get married with someone else, you can always turn to me for help."

"How will you help me? Will you take my place as a bride and marry the person they want?"

"Nope. I will abduct you and make you marry Ali, instead." Cayenne stated with a wide smile. Of course, this was just a joke. If her best friend will be force to get married to someone she didn't like, she might ask Stefan to pay that person with hefty sum of money and make him leave or else, she can ask someone to beat him up if he insist to be with her. 

"Don't think too much." Luna told Cayenne. "I will be fine. Ali and I will be okay. You know me. I don't let people dictate the way I live. I just hope you'll come and visit me sometimes. It would be boring in my home for sure."

"Alright. I'll come and visit you."

The two of them talked about Luna's home and the things that she might be doing after coming back. She's from a well-off family and Cayenne knew this which was why she was worried that Luna was being forced to come home. After all, her family had been threatening her relationship for a long time now.
