Chapter 460 - NEW ASSISTANT SECRETARY
Chapter 460 – NEW ASSISTANT SECRETARY
Cayenne didn't know anything of what Stefan has done and she didn't ask as well. They joined their family for breakfast and Luiz asked for permission once again to leave the house. He's meeting with his classmates once again.
Confident that the bodyguards will be with him, Cayenne allowed him to come out and see his classmates. After breakfast, Cayenne and Stefan left to go to his company. Erwin left earlier than them, not wanting to be late for work.
"By the way, we haven't visited your family for a while now. Can you make time tomorrow so that we can see them?" Cayenne told Stefan, not wanting him to neglect his other family.
"Which family are you talking about?" Stefan questioned which stumped Cayenne for words but she was able to get over it quickly.
"Your father and grandfather."
"You want to see them?"
Cayenne couldn't tell what her husband was thinking at this point. His face was expressionless as soon as he heard that she wanted to visit his father and grandfather and it worries her. "Don't you like to see them and see what they've been up to?
"It doesn't really matter to me."
Cayenne bit her lower lip and looked in front of them instead of his face. "I just want to see how they're doing. And they're your family."
"If I do the same thing to you towards the Rule family, will you be happy?"
"Of course, not." Cayenne answered almost immediately. That's when she realized things weren't going well. "Did something happen between you and your father? You guys were doing well last time."
Stefan took a deep breath and decided to stop the car on the roadside in order to talk to her. "I'll be honest with you, darling. Although I have forgiven them and even though I have received all of the inheritance, I am still not happy. Every time we came to visit them, I'd have to pretend to be okay but deep inside, I am still upset. I don't even know when I can really get along with them without pretending."
"Oh." Cayenne could only give a perfunctory reaction because she didn't know what to say. All along, she thought that he was doing good with his family but it seemed like she was mistaken.
"Don't feel so bad about it."
"Then, isn't it better if we visit them from time to time? In that way, you can talk to them more often than not. Also, I really think they have regretted what has happened."
"What can regrets do? It can't bring my mother back to life."
"Then, I won't bring up this matter again." Cayenne just smiled faintly while holding his hand tightly. "I won't ask you to visit them with me but can I visit them on your behalf? At the end of the day, they are still your family."
"Hn. I don't mind you visiting them."
Feeling relieved from this burden, Stefan continued driving the car with the guards following them. Not long after, they arrived to his company building.
Elena greeted them and told them the schedule for the whole day including the information that someone has come to apply for the position as assistant secretary.
Chris was waiting for them at the top floor while attending to their guest. He didn't dare leave him alone after knowing that he's very good in network security and other things.
As soon as the elevator opened, Chris greeted Stefan and Cayenne. The man also stood up and greeted them politely. Seeing his face, Elena blushed and looked away to hide the look on her face.
"Let's all talk inside my office." Stefan stated calmly.
Elena thought that she wouldn't be included since she's not really familiar when it comes to hiring an assistance secretary. However, Cayenne pulled her along with them.
Cayenne and Stefan sat on one couch. Chris and Elena sat on their right and left, respectively with the man sitting in front of them.
"I heard that Jill recommended you." Cayenne commented while taking the folder from him which contained his achievements and other things. "Eh? You own a toy company? Why are you applying as our secretary?"
Stefan also raised his eyebrow when his wide questioned the man.
"I own it but I don't really like managing a company. My sister and parents are managing it."
"Why didn't you apply in Jill's company?" Cayenne asked once again.
"It's a long story. Do you have enough time to listen?"
"Sure. Go ahead." Stefan mentioned and just at there with his arm wrapped around Cayenne's shoulder.
"My name is Tristan as you can see in my profile. I'm 25 years old. I was Jillyanna's classmate and I used to study business marketing. Due to some reason, I suddenly got involved with the Dragon gang and became their network security officer as well as getting information from other people."
Stefan suddenly sat up straight and looked at him in the eye. "Dragon gang? Is this the one under the Rule family?" Hearing his words, Cayenne stiffened and looked at her husband with anxiety.
"No, it's a bit different but it's somehow connected."
"Is it alright for you to say all these?" Chris couldn't stop himself from asking.
"Jill told me to be honest with you all. She didn't want me to lie because Mrs. Dumrique is her friend."
Chris made an 'Oh' sound while Elena nodded her head in agreement. As for Cayenne and Stefan, they were thankful and at the same time worried.
"With the help of the military and police department, we were able to deal with this gang except for the one in city C which is ruled by the Rule family. Somehow, they're detached to the main branch and up until now, I am still checking on them. As for why I didn't apply to be Jill's employee it's because her husband didn't want me to. Also, Shein's the top 2nd in the world of hacker. There's no need for both of us to work under the same person."
"Then, what rank are you?" Elena asked.
"I'm right above him."
Elena gasped and Chris frowned. He seems to remember something. "Are you the one with a codename T?"
"Yes."
"I see. It was you who helped us last year. Thank you for assisting the military."
"You're welcome."
"You don't seem surprise to know that he's from military." Stefan stated with his heart starting to calm now.
"To be honest, I'm familiar with almost everyone in the military. I would check on them every year to see both old and new faces."
"That's invading our privacy, you know." Chris responded.
"It's not my problem if your security is weak."
"I can't retort to that."
Tristan continued to tell them a lot of things about himself which almost lasted an hour. He wasn't ashamed of what he went through and he wasn't arrogant either. The only thing he kept was the information related to his ex-fiancé.
"So, you're really willing to be an assistant secretary? You will be working under her." Cayenne mentioned after they talked about him. She pointed her hand towards Elena who was blushing once again.
"I don't mind." Tristan responded with a smile.
He looked so charming that Elena couldn't stop herself from looking away. Her heart was beating so fast, even more intense to what she felt towards Chris before. 'Is this the result of the law of attraction?'
