Chapter 482 – DESTINED OR PLANNED?
Since Stefan asked this question, Cayenne also notice her brother's expression. She frowned but she didn't say anything. She didn't want to talk about their problems during dinner.
She waited for them to finish their meal and right after that, she went to find Luiz in his room. She wanted to talk to him if there's any problem.
"Sis? What brings you here?" Luiz feigned innocence and pretended fine in front of his sister. "I'm about to call teacher Chan now. Do you want to talk to her?"
"I'm here to talk to you." Cayenne told her brother. "You look bothered earlier. Is there something that you wish to tell me? Just say anything. I won't be judging you anyway."
Luiz looked away in contemplation. He was worried that she'd be angry if he tells her and he was also worried that she'd be angry if he won't tell her. "Well, it's not really important."
"So, what is it?"
"I received a letter earlier."
"And?"
"It's asking me if I wish to become a well-known civil engineer. There were many offers and there were lots of benefits as well."
"But? Look. Are you going to keep me guessing or will you just say it directly? Since when did you become hesitant to talk to me?"
Luiz shrugged his shoulders and sighed deeply. "The letter was from Artemis Rule. She's that lady who took the entrance examination together with me. She's the granddaughter of the Rule family."
"No wonder you didn't want to say it. So, what's your plan?"
"Of course, I'll refuse whatever their offer. I don't want them to get close to us. Whatever their motive is, I don't want to play along with it." Cayenne nodded when she heard his response because she personally disliked that family. "I didn't really want to tell you about it since it won't change anything anyway but, I also thought that you deserve to know this because you're my sister."
"Did she do anything to you?"
"We didn't meet actually. She only asked one of my classmates to bring the letter to me. My classmates thought that it was from a fan and we didn't think much about it."
"They will probably do the same thing to Kyle and me." Cayenne muttered. "Help me remind your brother about this matter. We can't let anything bad to happen in our life."
"Hn. I understand. Don't worry too much about us. We won't be separated from you no matter what."
Cayenne felt relieved and left his room. When she came back to her own bedroom, she found Stefan sitting on their bed while waiting for her. "Is there something bothering you as well?"
"Hn. I think I missed something very important last month but I just couldn't point out which one."
"You're just overthinking." Cayenne walked towards him, sat on his lap and wrap her arms around his neck. "Can you send me to school tomorrow?"
"My pleasure." Stefan quickly printed a kiss on her forehead as the two of them fell on top of their bed.
Even if Stefan wanted to do it, he couldn't and he promised that he wouldn't because she will be tired the next day. He can only wait for Friday to come so that he can enjoy her and savor her taste.
"Sigh. Why is the time ticking so slow this time?" he muttered close to her ears as he cuddled her to sleep.
"Slow or not, let's just make most of the time that we have." Cayenne kissed his chin and closed her eyes. "Let's go to sleep, hon. I still have a class tomorrow."
"Hn. Goodnight, love." Stefan printed a kiss on top of her head and caressed her face.
"Good night."
Stefan really missed those nights that they'd be rolling on their bed for several hours before sleeping past midnight but what can he do? He loves her so much that he'd do anything she'd say. Though, that depends on the situation.
The next day, just as he promised, Stefan sent Cayenne to school with the bodyguards following them. Since the two of them were together, she didn't have to use the pen that Shein gave her which was why she had no idea that she lost it already. She was happily talking to her husband as they made their way to Xena University.
When Stefan's car arrived, many students stretched their necks to see who'd come out of the car.
Stefan wanted to open the car for his wife but Cayenne refused. She didn't want anyone to see her being pampered and served. "I'll get going now. See you later and have a great day at work." Cayenne leaned over and kissed him. "Send me a message if you need something from me."
"I'll do that." Stefan rubbed her lower lip with his thumb while smiling sweetly at her. "Do your best."
"Hn."
The two of them bid their goodbyes and Cayenne stepped out of the car with a smile. "I love you."
"I love you, too." After hearing his reply, she finally closed the door and left to get inside the campus.
Many students were watching her and even though she's not a famous celebrity, they still know her. After all, Cayenne had been on several tabloids for different news and reasons. And because of her vlogs, many people were starting to know her as well.
"She's really lucky to marry that Stefan Dumrique."
"She's just a social climber."
"What's so good about her anyway? I don't understand why many people subscribed to her channel."
"She's really pretty and sweet."
"She doesn't look arrogant like what other people say."
There were many opinions coming from different people but Cayenne didn't care about it. They can hate her all they want. They will only waste their energy because she's good at ignoring haters. She's got so much in her plate and she has no time to think about negative things from other people.
She went to her first class with several pairs of eyes looking at her. When she arrived, she greeted her classmates politely and took a seat at the back of the class. Not long after, their professor arrived with a new student following behind him. Cayenne was currently looking for that special pen that Shein gave her when they came inside. She started to get anxious and she was already taking out her things, one after another. She still couldn't find it.
"Ms. Ardolf? Is there any problem?" The professor called out Cayenne's attention when he noticed the anxiety reflecting on her face. "Are you alright?"
The moment Cayenne raised her head to see their professor, her eyes met with the gaze of the man beside the teacher. She blinked her eyes several times before shaking her head to dismiss the professor's worry. "I'm fine." She put all her things inside her bag once again without making any noise.
'I'm so dead. I'm so dead. I lost the pen that Shein gave me.' Cayenne told herself mentally and she even had the urge to cry. 'My husband will be anxious if he couldn't see me from his laptop.' She was so distracted that she didn't listen to the professor anymore. She didn't even know that the man will be her new classmate.
She only noticed it when the man came to sit on the chair beside her bag. "Hi. I'm Noah." He introduced himself and even stretched out his hand.
"Cayenne." Cayenne took his hand and smiled politely while shaking it but deep inside, she was a mess.
The professor saw that the two of them were getting along so he made an announcement. "Ms. Ardolf, last time, you didn't have a partner for activities and projects. Mr. De Silva will be your partner from now now."
"Ah? Can't he just work on his own as well? I'm a very busy person and I might be an inconvenient to him." Cayenne blurted out without stopping to think it over. "I don't want to cause trouble to anyone."
"It's fine. I can adjust to your schedule. Don't worry. I'm not very busy so, I can be very flexible with my time." Noah responded which earned the professor's agreement.
"That's it, then." The professor already made his mind and Cayenne knew that she wouldn't be able to change his mind.
Cayenne pursed her lips and didn't say anything. What's more important to her right now wasn't the man beside her but her husband. She took out a pen and paper and scribbled some notes on it before crumpling it into a ball and threw it to one of her bodyguards outside.
Since she couldn't make a call in the middle of the class, she can only let her guards do it before Stefan loses his mind from worry.
Noah remembered the pen that he picked up and immediately took it out from his bag. "I believe this is yours." He showed it to Cayenne and as if magic was casted on her, the anxiety that she felt was washed away and she felt so happy to see the pen once again."
"This is indeed mine. I was just looking for it. Where did you get this?" Noah explained how he got the pen yesterday and Cayenne felt embarrassed for her carelessness. Even so, she was really happy to see it once again. "Thanks a lot.. This pen is very important to me."
