Chapter 566 – FINDING MARIAN II
"We're here." Stefan told Cayenne as he unfastened his seatbelt. "Let's go and check it out."
"Hn." Cayenne took a deep breath and removed the seatbelt, too. As soon as they stepped out of the car, the bodyguards immediately surrounded them, not allowing any other people to get close to their employers. When they reached the entrance to the bank, the bodyguards stayed outside and only Cayenne and Stefan went in. They were standing in an imposing manner that the guards of the bank felt embarrassed for slacking off.
Cayenne walked to the customer service area to ask about the safe deposit box and see how she can get it. "Please give me a sec. I'll just look into the details of the safe deposit box that you mentioned." The representative stated as she checked her computer.
"Sure. I can wait." Cayenne replied, intertwining her fingers with Stefan's to gather enough strength from him.
"Are you alright?" Stefan asked in whisper.
"I am. Don't worry about me."
"Can I have your valid ID for me to match the information I have on file?"
"O-okay." Cayenne handed one of her valid IDs and waited for the representative to be done with it. Then, the lady called someone over the phone and soon, a man in black suit came out from the sliding wall behind her. "That's cool." Cayenne whispered when she saw the wall being closed and opened.
"This man will bring you to the safe deposit box area." The lady stated as she returned the ID back to Cayenne and gave a small piece of paper to the man.
Along with her husband, Cayenne followed the man to the hidden room behind the wall. She thought that it would be a narrow passage that would lead them somewhere but what she saw was different from what she imagined. The place beyond the sliding wall was actually very huge and there were many workers in there.
The man led them to a staircase which brought them to the second floor and there she saw a lot of safe deposit box. They walked to the left side of the area in which a letter W was written on a metal plaque hanging above the rows of deposit box.
The man looked at the paper on his hand and started checking the boxes in front of them. The two of them followed him and soon, they ended up in front of a box with a string of numbers on it. The man opened the vault with his own key and inside the vault was another small box with a keypad on the bottom left.
"Once you're done. Just put the box inside the vault again and close it. It will be locked automatically." The guard mentioned and left without saying anything else.
Cayenne started typing her birthday and when she pressed enter, the box opened a little bit. She pulled the metal handle and what she saw inside the box really stunned her.
"I never thought she'd still remember my wish." Cayenne muttered while picking up the small letter inside the box. There were monies inside the box and a small notebook which listed down the things that Cayenne should do.
'I saved this money little by little to grant your big birthday wish. I know you wanted to experience this with me but I am not sure if I can live through this illness. Anyway, I have already inquired the details and I have written them down to make sure that you won't be lost. I hope you will have a great experience in Turkey. Make sure to take pictures of the hot air balloons and keep them in an album. I want you to remember that no matter where I am, I will always be your friend. – Marian'
"So, you wanted to go to Turkey?" Stefan asked after he finished reading the letter.
"It's one of my wishes when I was young. We promised that one day, we'll go to Turkey and experience this hot air balloon but I have forgotten all about this when my mother got ill. All I wanted to do was to work and earn money to pay our bills and send my brothers to school."
"You really found a very good friend."
"I know." Cayenne's tears started falling on the letter that she was holding. "I have a very nice friend but I wasn't even there when she needed someone the most. In her letters, it was obvious that she didn't forget me but I was different. I didn't think of her like how she does for me."
"She'll understand." Stefan replied while rubbing her back. "You'll see her soon. I thought we'd be faster than Tristan but that guy lives up to his name. I received the information about your friends just few minutes ago."
"Really? Where is she?"
"She's currently in City D. She's been staying there for almost six months now."
"City D?"
"Hn." Stefan took the notebook from the box and Cayenne took the money and placed them inside her box. She didn't bother counting them because she knew it's a lot. Going to Turkey alone would cost lots of money but Marian included the calculation of the accommodation and food. It's too much. "Just keep everything for now. Let's see what we can do once we see her."
"Hon, can we not have a date this time? Can we look for her first? Promise, once I see her I'll go on dates whenever you want."
Stefan pulled her close and hugged her. He knew that she'd be doing this already which was why he wasn't the least bit disappointed. "I have cancelled the reservation and you don't have to promise anything. We can have a date whenever we have time in hand. Let's prioritize other things for now."
"Thank you."
"There's no need to thank me. I will do anything for you."
"If we look for her now, can we make it to City D before night time?"
"Of course. We'll probably arrived around three in the afternoon."
"Then, let's go.. I want to see her as soon as possible."
