Chapter 235 – MANIPULATOR
Since Shein dealt with everyone according to Stefan's instruction, Cayenne and Stefan had a peaceful and joyful vacation. After spending time in Venice, the two of them didn't think much of where to go. They just traveled to places that were usually visited by other tourist disregarding the travel time and the fare.
From Venice, they stopped by Verona before going to Milan. They shop, eat, took pictures, appreciates the beauty the place could bring and engaged with other tourist who were also making trips around Italy.
After Milan they went to Genoa where they look around the Romanesque Cathedral of San Lorenzo. They stayed in a hotel for the night but they left the next morning for Bologna. Its Piazza Maggiore is a sprawling plaza lined with arched colonnades, cafes and medieval and Renaissance structures such as City Hall, the Fountain of Neptune and the Basilica di San Petronio. It's a place that one shouldn't miss when traveling in Italy.
After spending time in Bologna, they went home to Tuscany for a little while and left their things in Stefan's mansion before continuing their trip the next day. They went to Perugia, spent two days there and then to Rome – which was sadly, the last destination before they'd left for France.
"The days passed by so quickly." Cayenne commented as she cuddled with Stefan to sleep. "I don't want our trip to be over yet."
"Me, too. I want to spend time with you alone." Stefan responded and kissed her temple. "I'll try to finish my works as soon as I can so that we can have more travel time in the future."
"Hn. I'd love that." Cayenne hugged him and pressed the side of her face to his chest. "Were you having fun?"
"Of course. Traveling with you is so much fun and I enjoy having your presence right by my side. Also, I got so many pictures of you." Stefan caressed her nose with his fingertip.
"I got pictures of you, too." Cayenne responded, not willing to lose to him in the photography field. "So, tomorrow, we will be going to France. I'm so excited to see Paris."
"I'm so excited to see your reaction when you see the Eiffel Tower and the whole Paris. I won't miss taking a photo of you."
"Then, let's go to sleep. I don't want to be sleepy during the trip there." Cayenne snuggled even closer to him and kissed the corner of his lips. "Good night, my dear husband."
"Good night, sweetheart."
In the past few days after the wedding, Stefan didn't suppress the news of his marriage and he didn't make any statement as well. He busied himself with the trips to different places, accompanying his wife and making sure that she's having fun all the time.
Because of this, the photographer who was responsible for the reception during the wedding posted all the pictures he got during the event. The label was about the wedding and he even tagged the groom and the bride with his posts but he made sure that the thumbnail was Cayenne and Stefan. In his pictures, everything was HD and everyone's face was clear for everyone to see.
Since many people was interested about the identity of Stefan's wife, his post was shared by many people until it reaches the citizens of city A.
"This isn't a joke anymore." One of the employees in Clover Hotel commented as she scrolled through the pictures. "Cayenne is really the president's wife?"
"Hey Luna, look at this." Another employee called Luna and showed the photos. She wanted to deny what was in the picture but her expression already busted her. "Don't even say that this picture is photoshopped." The employee commented and showed Luna a video during the wedding where the photographer caught Cayenne and Stefan walking down the aisle.
"I have no comment on this matter." Luna stated and left to logged in for work.
"Even if she won't comment. It's already obvious."
"So, that explains why Cayenne can take a month off and leave whenever she wanted. She's actually our lady boss."
"I wonder how long have they been together?"
"It shouldn't be that long. Remember, it was around Christmas when the president posted of his official relationship with her."
"Right. But they must have known each other before. After all, the president claimed her to be his wife."
"Maybe they're not married yet. Maybe it was just an endearment."
"Do you think the president is serious with Cayenne? What if our Yenyen is being led by the nose? What if he's going to hurt her and use her like those other women?"
"Well, Cayenne is an adult now. She knows what she's doing. Let's just support her."
Many people were concerned about Cayenne and they were all worried for her. Luna has been sending her messages as well but Cayenne didn't have time to check her phone for messages because of too much excitement for her trip to France.
On the other hand, Stefan knew about it. Chris would always report him everything that's happening in City A, letting no mishap to slip in. However, he just let the news to go on. He has no intentions of stopping it.
Inside a black car, a man was sitting elegantly at the back seat with a tabled in his hands. He was reading the posts and comments online. His lips twitched and he had a deep frown on his face. "It took me a great deal to ruin his relationship with Arthur and now she's married? Come on. I came back to find you and yet, this is what you have for me. Cayenne, you can't be this cruel."
If he didn't need to leave to deal with family problems back in Singapore, he wouldn't let her go. He even went to the extend of ruining Kirin's opinion of her just to make sure that Arthur will be on her bad side. He orchestrated everything but now, she ended up in someone else's arms.
"Investigate the marriage of Cayenne and Mr. Dumrique. I need the result tomorrow afternoon." He told his subordinate and threw the tablet to the side.
"Right on it, sir."
