Cayenne was very proud of her brother. She knew that they lack so much in life but the thing that they didn't lack was support. As a sister, she gave them full support and advised them a lot of times to do what they like doing. And thankfully, her brothers were smart and they have a sense of responsibility even though they were young.
Cayenne was kind of thankful to their family situation because it allowed her brothers to see their reality and helped improve themselves.
Mr. Rodrigues didn't say anything anymore. Clarisse felt thankful to Luiz, hoping that her father would stop putting pressure on her during college. She was hoping that he will allow her to take the course that she likes instead of taking the course that he likes for her.
The meeting continued after a short hiccup and this time, the treasure was done counting their funds as well. She gave the money to her teacher as well as the list of the coins and the paper bills.
"We have a total of $3995 from all forty-seven students. Is there anything you'd like to say Mr. Dumrique?" Rissy asked Stefan while showing him all the money they got.
Somehow, Cayenne already got an idea of what her husband was planning.
"I have a rest house in Lipa. The students can stay there for three days and two nights in order to make memories with their classmates. The money that you have, you can use it to buy your own groceries and other necessities. You can cook your own food there, no need to worry about the electricity and water. Their safety is also ensured since I have my guards looking after them. The parents can be at ease for this matter."
"Re-really?" Rissy asked with trepidation. She's adamant to accept such nice offer without giving anything in return.
"Yes, Ms. Chan. But you have to go with the children, too in order to look after them. After all, you're the adviser." Stefan told him with a sly grin. He already had an idea how to help his secretary develop his love. But it was still up to Chris how he can use this opportunity that he created for them.
"Uhm. Can we pay a little bit for this after party? I feel guilty letting my child go on vacation without paying anything." One of the parents commented.
"There's no need to pay for it. The children already did their best to accumulate the funds. Besides, this will be their last vacation together with the whole class. Let them enjoy and have fun to their hearts content." Stefan commented with a sweet smile. "Rest assured, nothing will happen to these children. My wife and I will be coming along as well. At the end of the day, it's my property. I need to look after it as well."
The parents finally agreed and reminded their children to behave. Even though they just reached the legal age, Stefan already have things in mind to prohibit them. He told the students what they can and cannot bring. Alcoholic beverages were on the list of cannot be brought which disappointed the students. Illegal items were also mentioned by him, although, none of the students used them, it was still better to be safe than sorry.
Rissy Chan listed everything that Stefan said and placed a reminded on the board for the students to see. A company van will be provided to take the students to the designated area. Stefan showed them the rest house and told the students to make plans since there were only four rooms available. The fifth room was the master's bedroom which can only be used by him and Cayenne.
Some students who owned tents decided to camp out at the beach since they haven't tried it. Some students decided to bring their sleeping bag on that day.
After three hours, the meeting was finally adjourned. It was already past one o'clock when they came out of the classroom. The meeting should be done at noon but they decided to finish everything in order to make sure that they don't miss any important matters.
When they got out, Cayenne found Kyle and Kath standing at the hallway. "You guys are here." Cayenne walked towards them and gave her brother a hug. She also hugged Kath who's now a girlfriend to her brother. "Don't you have class?"
"Nope. It's our vacant time until two-thirty. I saw Stefan's car in the parking area so I thought the meeting isn't over yet." Kyle told her sister. He nodded towards Stefan as a form of greeting and congratulated his brother for ranking 1st in the whole class.
"Did you guys eat already?" Luiz asked his older brother.
"What time is it now? Of course, we had our lunch already." Kyle retorted to his brother.
"How about joining us for lunch? You can have desserts while we're eating." Stefan suggested.
"That sounds good. I'll take up your offer."
With that, the five of them got inside Stefan's car and left the school campus. Following behind them were the body guards who kept an eye at them while observing the surroundings as well.
Jonas saw his sons walking with Stefan and Cayenne. He didn't approach them or told Cayenne that he was around. After seeing them, he left as well to go back home.
It wasn't just Jonas who was following them. Not far from where Stefan parked his car, another driver parked his car but he didn't come out of his vehicle. He was only watching them from a far, waiting for an opportunity to strike them.
Contrary to this man, another driver parked his car and he parked it at the open space right beside Stefan's car. Two men stepped out of the car and went inside the same restaurant that Cayenne and her family get into. They sat on a corner, ordered their food and chatted normally like good friends.
In truth, they were following Cayenne as per Arthur's instruction. This time, they needed to know where exactly she lives. Anything that the man does after knowing her address has nothing to do with them.
