Chapter 188: STEFAN HELPS HIS STEP-MOTHER?

"Why should I help you?" Stefan questioned with a cold voice. His face looked like a menacing devil who's about to take someone's life away. "If I help you, what's in it for me?"

"I'm your mother to begin with." Clara retorted. "Why can't you help me? Even just a little bit. The Minato Group is slowly crumbling. The shipping company that your family owns won't be enough to save our company. I need a little help from you."

"My mother, huh." He responded, a smirk on his lips was clear and evident that he was disgusted with this information. "You never treated me as your son and I don't see you as my mother either." Clara didn't say anything but she looked down on her trembling fingers and she pursed her lips. "Well, I'll help you this once since you gave me a kind brother."

"Thank you."

'Shameless." Stefan commented mentally. He said he will help but he got different plans in mind. He didn't need to worry when he's making a move on her and her family, after all, his father no longer cared.

"Thank you, son." Magnus said and smiled.

"Whatever." Stefan waved his hand in dismissal. "I won't be hospitable to you. You can show yourselves out."

"Okay. Come back home this weekend and bring your girlfriend." Magnus reminded him.

"I'll do that if she agrees to be brought back to a den packed with tigers and hyenas." He didn't show mercy when it comes to being mean towards them at all. He would always clearly express his hate towards them.

Magnus didn't take it to heart and just left with his wife.

Manager Kim went to find Cayenne at the lounge and told her to bring some refreshments to the President's office because there were guests.

Cayenne didn't refuse it and just followed her instruction. She pushed the food cart which contained refreshment and went to the elevator for the president's suite.

The moment the door opened, it seemed like she was having a déjà vu. Only that, the role was slightly reversed; she was the one waiting for the elevator and the couple came out of the elevator. They were the same couple she met few months ago when she was called by Stefan for the job of sleeping with him.

For some reason, the man smiled subtly at her.

'Weird.' Cayenne thought to herself and waited for the elevator to be cleared before entering. 'The guests have left, doesn't that mean that these refreshments are no longer needed?' Even though she got this question, she still went ahead and brought the snack to his suite.

Chris open the door for her and helped her with the refreshments. "Why do you still need these refreshments when your guests already left?"

Stefan put down the documents he was holding and stood up from his seat to get close to her. "I needed some excuse to bring you here."

"Oh."

"Just 'oh'? That's your only reaction?"

"Should there be something else? How about you listen to my heart to know what I'm feeling with your words?" Cayenne retorted because she's not good with words sometimes but her heart would always be honest.

"My parents came."

"Your father came with his wife. That's how you should say it. She's not your mother so there's only one parent and a mistress, who shameless appeared in front of you knowing what she did to your mother."

"What a sharp tongue you got." Stefan rubbed her head messily and chuckled. "You're a fighter."

"Of course. I may take a step back if I get bullied but that doesn't mean I won't fight back one day."

Stefan pulled her close and hugged her. "My father told me to bring you back once again. Let's go and visit the place over the weekend."

"Are you sure?"

"Hn. In any case, I've got your back. I won't let anyone bully you."

"Alright. I'll come with you."

The two of them cuddled together for a little while, ignoring the refreshments that Cayenne brought. Chris didn't pay attention to them and just do his job, ignoring the dog food nearby.

After fifteen minutes, Cayenne went back to the lounge to find Celine and start doing her normal work which was housekeeping. Celine had been quiet since this morning so, Cayenne thought she has a problem or something that's bothering her. As a person who received so much concern and advice from her, Cayenne put down the bedsheets and looked towards her colleague.

"Celine, are you alright? You've been very quiet since this morning."

Celine looked at her and looked away. "I'm not sure if I should ask this but it really bothers me since this this morning." She indeed looked troubled by something and Cayenne wanted to help a little.

"What is it? I might be able to help you."

"Well, it's a little private and I don't think it's appropriate for me to ask you."

"It's fine." Cayenne encouraged her. "I won't take it against you. I promise."

Celine put down the pillow she was holding and sat on the chair to talk with Cayenne properly. "You have relationship with the boss, right?"

"Huh?" Cayenne played dumb and chuckled. "How could you say that? There's no way that the boss would have an interest with someone like me." She even laughed it off to dismiss this matter as a joke but Celine didn't buy her act at all.

"You don't know how to lie Yen. You can't fool me."

Cayenne looked to the woman in front of her and smiled sheepishly. "When did you know?"

"I've been suspicious for a while now but I got it confirmed this noon – during lunch." Celine approached Cayenne and placed her hand on her head. "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this. I just want to have it confirmed because I don't want to think badly of you."

"We've been together for quite a while now but we became officially together not long ago. I guess, you've seen it in his posts."

"Hn. The bracelet you're wearing and the watch he's wearing came in pair. The ring that he gave you is the only design in the world and right now, you're wearing it as a necklace."

"Ah?" Cayenne took out the ring that she made into a pendant and showed it to Celine. "This is the only design in the world? Are you sure? I thought this is not a customized ring."

"I guess, you're the only one who thinks that way."

"Really?"

Celine took out his phone and took a picture of the ring. There were so many search results about the ring but there's one thing they have in common, it was the 'only design in the whole world'. It was designed by a French jewelry designer for his fiancée who passed away before their engagement because of an illness. The designer didn't marry anyone after her death and asked someone to sell the ring, hoping it will find its rightful owner who can give justice to its beautiful design.

"Is this really the right ring? How come there's a dragon design on this but the one that I have has none?" Cayenne questioned while turning her ring over and over again to see the dragon design.

"You can't see it for now. Later, you put Stefan's ring on top of yours and you will see the dragon design."

"Really? How so?"

Celine explained to her that the dragon design she saw on the picture was a reflection coming from the male's ring. So, an idea came to her mind – she will definitely do some experiment later that night. As for the price, she didn't think too much about it. Nothing will happen even if she fussed over it.

"Do you think other people knew of my relationship of him, too?" Cayenne asked a little bit worried. She didn't really want her life being disturbed and so far, Stefan had been able to protect her identity up until now.

"I am not sure. If they're as observant as me, there might be many people out there who knew about it but didn't say anything. As long as you don't confirm it and you're careful not to let anyone know about it, I guess you'll be fine."

"Thank you for keeping this a secret, Celine."

"Sure. Sure. I don't really mind but I'm glad that you and the boss ended up together. He has really changed."

Cayenne and Celine talked about different things but most of them was how to handle a secret relationship because Celine knew it better than anyone else. After all, she was able to keep her relationship from her parents ever since she was high school. They only knew about her man when she decided to get married with him after graduating from college.

While they're talking about handling relationships in secret, Stefan had also prepared his kind help for his step-mother. He will help her, push herself to death. An eye for an eye. Tooth for a tooth. Life for a life. But he won't kill her. He's not so cold-blooded as to kill a human. He will just make her suffer for the rest of her life until she wished she could just die.
