Chapter 435: RESIGNATION LETTER

Cayenne didn't know how long it has been since Stefan was standing behind her but when he spoke, she thought her soul flew out of her body from being startled.

"Can you at least give me some signal that you're behind me?" Cayenne chortled and even pinched his waist. "Don't startle me like that. All along I was thinking that the guards were behind me."

"Is that a bad thing?" Stefan snaked his arm around her waist and pulled her even closer. "So, what has happened downstairs?" he asked to divert her attention from Elena.

Cayenne knew what exactly he was thinking and she couldn't stop herself from lightly flicking his forehead. "Such a jealous man." Cayenne muttered before turning to face Elena once again. "Chris will tell you about it. I'll see you later." Cayenne dragged her husband back to the office and led him to the couch.

Stefan sat on the couch and to his surprise, Cayenne took the initiative to sit on his lap. Her action brought butterfly wings fluttering in his stomach. He felt so loved by her. Really. A very shallow source of happiness.

"Hubby, how come your employees have no respect?" She complained but she also looked nonchalant about it. "It would be fine if they'd choose to ignore me and not say anything. I wouldn't mind that. But I really hate people who easily judge me just because I am your wife."

"You don't look bothered about it though." Stefan narrowed his eyes while observing her face and she wasn't really showing any annoyance like how she faced his nameless employee earlier. Well, that woman has a name, of course but Stefan didn't bother remembering it.

Cayenne sighed heavily and leaned her head on his chest. It didn't really hurt me personally and I don't really care about it but I don't like it when someone brings up your past. I hate it. I just want us to live presently and think of the future. I don't want to keep thinking about the past. And these people just kept on pressing these things on my face."

Stefan thought that all along, Cayenne flared up for being belittled and being labeled as someone who climbed the higher ranks by selling her body. He never thought that she actually got angry because people mention his past again and again.

"I'm sorry you'd have to hear this dirty news about me." Stefan hugged her tightly and kissed the space between her eyebrows. "But you won't let them affect us, right? You won't leave me, right?"

"Dear, let me remind you again. I'll only let go if you let go of me. So, everything lies in your hands." Cayenne pinched his face and smiled coldly at him. "Be wise in making decisions involving me."

"How come I didn't know you're cold?" Stefan responded with his left eyebrow raised a little bit higher.

"It's not my fault that you're blind." Cayenne bluntly stated but in truth, her coldness was just at the surface. She was showing her fangs in front of other people and in front of him but she was actually still afraid that Stefan would, one day, leave her again. She may look carefree and lazy and sometimes bored or cheerful but she has her own inner fears that she battles every single day.

The two of them cuddled for few more minutes talking about silly little things until Chris came back. He knocked on the door thrice and Stefan allowed him to come inside without changing their position.

If it was in the past, Chris would certainly grimace at the sight of two people sweetly cuddling with each other in the middle of the day but since he's got someone in his heart now, he thought that this kind of action was normal between couple.

"I've dealt with the manager already." Chris stated.

"How about your mission?" Stefan questioned which raised the attention to his remaining time as the secretary.

Chris sat on the couch opposite the couple and handed Stefan the resignation letter. The letter was only a process of formality between him and the company's rules and regulations but it didn't really matter to Stefan. "The next mission has been finalized and I'll have to leave in three months. My supervisor allowed to me to continue working for the next two months and leave the company one month before the next mission starts."

"Are they sending you to a far away place?" Cayenne asked. She didn't know what exactly this mission was all about but she knew that Chris was a soldier who serves their country through undercover works.

Cayenne didn't really know how much he toggled his time between his work as a secretary and his work as an undercover spy. And she didn't want to ask such confidential matter either.

"I won't be out of the country." Chris mentioned. He can't say anything more than that and even Rissy didn't know anything about this next mission he will take.

Cayenne didn't press on him anymore and just smiled. "You must take care of yourself. You have to always remember that someone will be waiting for you to come home. Also, you better train Elena with your work before you leave the company."

"Yes, ma'am." Chris answered sincerely and he even gave her a salute.

This made Cayenne giggled. "Don't call me 'ma'am' all of a sudden. It rings a little weird. Oh, right! Have you talked to Elena that you're leaving?"

"I'm planning to tell her later."

Stefan just took the resignation letter and placed it inside his chest pocket. "If ever you need to work again as an assistant, you're welcome to come again."

"I'll definitely do that."

"It will certainly feel a little weird without you here but we'll get by." Stefan commented with a forlorn expression. At the end of the day, Chris has been with him ever since he started his small business until it expanded and became a large empire. Chris has always been with him and to suddenly leave because of his duty, Stefan felt a sense of loss.

But then again, parting is part of growing. And as long as you're both breathing on earth, there will always be a day for you to meet again.
