Chapter 598: IT'S PAYBACK TIME II

The class resumed for the 2nd semester and even though Cayenne was sad with the sudden departure of her best friend, she still tried her best to be cheerful.

Just like always, Stefan accompanied her to Xena University. However, there were little changes now. He no longer waits for her outside her classroom instead, he goes to a nearby café where he can do some work as he waits for her. Sometimes, he'd wait for her in the car but he would feel a little bit stuffy which makes him go to a café instead.

Cayenne paid attention to every class discussion. She was very attentive to activities and whenever she has time, she'd mingle and chat with her classmates. Last semester, because a lot of things happened which negatively impacted her studies, she barely passed her subjects. Even if Reuben donated a lot of things in school, even if Stefan paid a lot to get her excused, her grades would still depend on how much she can perform in class. It cannot be bought.

This semester, Cayenne promised to get back what he lost last time. 'Hopefully, things will go well this semester.' She thought while writing notes on her notebook.

During lunch, Stefan will wait for her in the car and they will go somewhere to eat. Cayenne preferred this set up compared to the first semester. She didn't have to think of those women who will be looking at her husband anymore, giving her a peace of mind.

In the afternoon, she'd go back to class and focus her attention to discussion once again.

This was her new routine every single day.

As for Stefan, he's busy with business and more business matter every day since the end of year was approaching. All of his employees from different establishments; whether big or small, they were excited for December as well. They will finally receive their 13th month pay and there's the year-end ball that they can join as well. It's the time of the year that they can relax as long as you finish your work early.

"I'll be meeting the families of the previous secretaries. I won't be able to attend client meetings with Elena." Tristan told Travis over the phone.

"I'll send bodyguards to her."

"Thanks."

Tristan ended the call and put his phone inside his pocket. When he came out of this office, Elena was dozing off on her desk. She's really being carefree since Stefan works outside now. She's only left to deal with minor things to handle because Tristan got those major ones. He removed his coat and draped it over her shoulders before giving her head a light kiss.

"I'll come back soon." He whispered before leaving the floor.

Elena was left alone on the top-most floor. It's a lively place whenever Cayenne's around and even when she's not, Elena would still feel happy because there's Tristan that she can argue with. However, this time, when she woke after half an hour, she felt so lonely with no one to talk to.

"Alright. Let's get busy." She told herself and checked her schedule, still unaware of the coat that was draped over her shoulder.

One of the bodyguards approached her and smiled faintly. "Ms. El, sir Stefan told us that we will be accompanying you to client meetings because he sent Tristan to another work. If you are ready to go, we will be waiting for you at the lobby."

"O-okay. Thanks for letting me know." Elena replied and smiled as well. She arranged her things and the documents that she needed before standing up from her seat. As she did so, Tristan's coat fell on the floor which made her turned around for a moment. "He's really sweet, huh." She picked up the coat and looked at it. "Whatever." She folded it as quick as she could and left it on his desk. "Thanks." She said and left.

On the other hand, Tristan scheduled a meeting to those people related to the previous secretaries of Napoleon. To make it convenient to them, he suggested to meet them in their homes and they agreed after knowing that he works for Stefan Dumrique.

They thought that Tristan would be bringing them good news but they have never thought that he'd be breaking them the worst news they'd ever want to hear in their lives.

"My husband died in a car accident."

"My father was reassigned to work for another branch in US."

"My daughter went to Paris for work. Mr. Napoleon said that it's for a better position that suits her. We've been receiving money from her as well.

"I have been receiving money from my husband. He's currently in Italy."

"My father died from a hit-and-run incident. The driver was drunk when he was caught by the police."

"My wife died after she committed suicide because she was accused of stealing company funds. She didn't even explain to me about it and just went her way of ending her life."

All of these people explained in pain as to how their love ones died or why they had to leave the country. Tristan almost changed his mind and just let these people believe in such news but he felt that he needed to give justice to this people. He needed to give justice to the lives that were lost because of that man's selfishness and evilness.

Tristan presented them the evidence and the information he gathered which broke the heart of many people. Their anguished cries and resentments brought goosebumps to his arms but he couldn't do anything about it. It would be better to know the painful truth than live happily in lies.

"Right now, another person's being held up because he was threatened with his family. It's not too late to ask for justice and you don't have to worry because you will be protected. For now, if you want your love ones to rest in peace, I suggest that you bring this envelope to the police station. Don't tell them about me because I will work behind the scene to get the justice your family member deserves."

"Why are you doing this? I mean, you work for Stefan Dumrique, right? Napoleon is a Dumrique, too."

Tristan stood up from his seat and looked outside the window. "Stefan has a family and he wants to protect them. Napoleon had been attacking these good people for quite a while now and it was only recently did we know the truth of how the previous secretaries disappeared. Stefan loves his employees and he was disheartened after knowing such thing has happened. It didn't matter if it's his kin who's doing these things. Killing is a crime and a criminal should be punished heavily."

What Tristan said made the people believe in Stefan. They never knew that they'd be receiving help from this man.

"Thank you for helping us. If there's a way for us to repay his gratitude, please do let us know."

"I'll relay that message to my employer."

When Tristan finished his task, it was already evening and most of the employees went home already. He was walking back to the company building when he saw Elena talking happily to the guy from the finance department again.

"Hey! Tris – " Elena wanted to greet him but Tristan only passed by her without even giving her a glance. Her words halted and her smile disappeared from her lips. 'What's wrong with that idiot?!' she questioned angrily to herself. "Whatever." She turned to look at the man beside her and just smiled at him. "Let's go. I'd love to try that new hotpot restaurant you mentioned."

Tristan looked back with a frown. Hearing her excited voice while talking to another man irked him so much. "Elena." Tristan called out to her which stopped her from talking any further steps.

"What?!"

"Can you come with me for a bit? I'd – "

"Nah. I'm in a hurry to have dinner. I'll see you tomorrow." Elena pulled the man from the finance department and the two of them walked towards his car.

"Girl, is it my imagination or does your assistant secretary hates me?" Britt whispered towards Elena.

Looking from a far, it looked to Tristan that the guy leaned closer and kissed Elena's cheeks.. His hands clenched to fists as he turned around and went to get his other things from his office.
