Chapter 622

Tristan tried his best to get in touch with P country’s president but it was to no avail. Of course, no one would believe them especially that they were complete strangers who were planning to attack one of the P country’s islands.

“Denise said that she was able to swap the poison but she didn’t know when the man would go out of the country to use that poison on Cayenne and Stefan. As far she knew, the poison should be used in the city jail to deal with the guards and the officers. She wasn’t sure what to believe now.” Eliezer told Tristan at night while they organized their thoughts to deal with the current issue they have.

To avoid any suspicions, everyone was going through their lives like normal. Despite the danger lurking around them, Cayenne decided to come to school and finish the remaining week before Christmas break. Stefan tightened the security around her, making sure that no one would be able to harm her. On top of that, Jillyanna still continued to let one of her trusted subordinates monitor her. She couldn’t let anything happen to one of her closest friends.

Meanwhile, Napoleone was getting impatient to come out of his cell. He had been getting in touch with his friend several times in a row, inquiring for any update. After all, he didn’t want to be duped and got all his hope shattered in pieces.

As the days go by, the temperature got colder. Stefan started choosing coats for Cayenne to wear over her usual clothes for school. And obviously, it was something that matches his coat as well. He’s that obsessed when it comes to matching outfits.

“Bring this along with you. If you need something, don’t hesitate to give me a call. I’ll drop anything to get to you.” Stefan stated while passing an extra bag to Cayenne. Although he passed it to her, the guard took it to carry for her. He would only hand it over to her as soon as she gets inside her classroom.

“It’s the last day of class before break. I heard that we won’t be doing a lot today. Let’s go somewhere later after class.”

.....

“Hn. I’ll be waiting for you.” He kissed his forehead and watched her go. He always felt bad sending her off to school were anything could happen but he also wanted her to finish her degree. It doesn’t really bother him that Cayenne didn’t finish her college degree and he knew that his family wasn’t worried about it either. He just didn’t like to hear some people evaluating Cayenne’s worth compared to him. He didn’t want her to feel less worth if she ever heard those words. He wanted her to be proud of herself.

Stefan went to the nearby café once again and ordered some drinks for him. Not long after, Elena came to report for work. She has to do so much because Tristan wasn’t around. Fortunately, Stefan wasn’t someone who abuses his employees. Even though there were some client meetings that his secretary needed to attend in his behalf, he didn’t push her to do them. Instead, he scheduled for virtual conferences which will be held every night until Tristan returns. He wasn’t in a hurry. His priority is not making money. He has enough to last them several lifetimes. What he wanted to do the most was to stay with his wife.

“Sir, this is your schedule for the next two weeks. Shall I forward them to Ms. Yen as well?”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“There’s no need. I’ll just give her a copy myself.” Stefan responded as he reviewed the file that Elena sent. “Oh! Can you get in touch with Ms. Bartolome? If it’s possible, can we reschedule this meeting with her. If it’s fine with her, she can just drop by at the office on Monday. Ayen will be free starting next week so we can go to the company together.”

“Okay. I’ll inform her manager.” Elena noted this on her computer while Stefan went through his schedule.

“Clear all my schedule on Fridays thru Sundays of the following until second week of January. You can fit them on the weekdays from Mondays to Thursdays.”

“Uhm. They might not be available during weekdays, sir.” Elena replied politely while noting his request. “I’ll check on them first and let you know what their opinions are. Also, sir...” Elena looked around first and when no one was watching them, she whispered some words which made Stefan nodded in agreement.

“You are right on that. She might feel burdened if I adjust so many appointments for her. She doesn’t like that at all.” Stefan commented. “Let’s just see how this goes. If we can reschedule some of them, I’d be very happy. If there are some that we can’t, it is fine as well.”

“Alright, I’ll check on them later. Anything else?”

“I need you to do me a favor.” Stefan declared which stunned Elena. She has this feeling that it has something to do with Cayenne, maybe not directly but it should be related to her.

“Well, as long as it’s not something illegal.”

“Hey. When have I done something against the law?” Elena just shrugged her shoulders which made Liam smile faintly. “I won’t tell you the details this time yet but I’ll send you the information later.”

“Okay.”

On the other hand, Cayenne attended some of her classes while thinking what she could possibly do later with Stefan. Although there were professors around, they weren’t really having discussions. They were just chatting casually about their plans for Christmas and New Year.

“How about you Ms. Ardolf? You would probably be busier compared to everybody here given your husband’s position.”

“Right. I bet you won’t have so much time for yourself. That’s common between wealthy people.”

“I don’t think so. Cayenne’s family is different compared to those other rich families.”

Opinions after opinions were thrown in the air and she only smiled at it, hoping that they’d stop speculating her life. They’re not far from the truth, though.

“Even before Christmas break, her life was already busy and fully packed with appointments.” Noah stated in which Faith agreed.

“It’s not really that much. It’s just a coincidence that everyone has plans and we were invited. We couldn’t refuse since they’re from our close friends and family.” Cayenne answered. “Also, I’m not really that different from everyone here. Although I got married to Stefan, we prioritize our family over his money and work. He’s a family – oriented person and he tries his best to make sure that we would be able to spend quality time with our loved ones.”

She rarely speaks about her relationship to her classmates and they don’t bother her with it as well. However, when she starts talking, you would see the obvious love in her eyes.

“Sucks to be single.”

“She’s head over heels for him.”

“Where could I find such man? I want to be in love, too.”

Looking at her happy and genuine smile as she spoke to them, everyone felt relieved. They were worried that she’d be detached from them after she got kidnapped and lost her memories. Apparently, they didn’t know that she remembers everything.
