Chapter 92 - MAKING SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR HIM
Chapter 92 – MAKING SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR HIM
Since the next day was Sunday, the two of them woke up late. When Cayenne's alarm rang, Stefan picked it up and dismissed it before going back to sleep. He hugged her closely and buried his face on the crook of her neck and shoulder.
The two of them were cuddling together until it was almost eleven in the morning. Cayenne had nothing else to do so she didn't wake up early.
Stefan rose first and washed up to get ready for the day. He wanted to prepare their brunch and leave in the afternoon to buy gifts. They only have three more days before Christmas arrives. The hotel was fully packed and it was expected that there will be more work for the employees.
Stefan placed his phone on the table while preparing the ingredients for their meal. It was manager Kim on the other end of the line.
"If you can find me someone to cover up Cayenne's shift, I will pay them double for the shifts that they'll be covering."
"But sir, most of them had their vacation leaves approved already. It will be difficult for me to make them come back to work."
"You don't really need to force them. Just ask if there's anyone interested."
"Should I tell them that it is to cover Cayenne's shift and that you'll be paying double?"
"No. Just tell them that we need extra hand in this specific range of time and that I'll be paying double for the on who's interested. I need three people. One for each day that Cayenne is not around."
The two of them continued to talk when Cayenne got out of the room and went to the kitchen. She didn't notice right away that Stefan was talking to someone.
"Why didn't you wake me up? It's very late now. I should be the one cooking breakfast today." She mumbled as she walked towards the refrigerator to get a glass of cold water.
"No cold water for you. You just wake up and it's cold these days to begin with. Just drink warm water."
"I don't like warm water. It tastes bland and it's not refreshing."
"I'll make some warm honeyed water for you. Just sit still."
Manager Kim just listened to the conversation on the other end of the line. She didn't know whether to end the call or talk again now that Cayenne is with the boss. She also didn't expect that the two were living together.
"Manager Kim?"
"Yes, sir. I'm here."
"Have you finalized what I asked of you?"
"Yes, sir. Cayenne will receive a notification later."
The subject of their conversation which was Cayenne was sitting on a chair across the table with a pale face. Her eyes were wide and she looked at him with what's-going-on look? She had no idea that manager Kim knew all about them.
"Thanks for your help." Stefan ended the call and looked towards Cayenne. "She knew about us when I asked a leave for you for the first time."
"And?"
"She won't say anything to other people. Don't worry. She can be trusted."
Cayenne was still worried so, she stood up and ran towards their room. "I'll be right back. Let me just talk to her for a sec."
"O-okay." Stefan watched her go and he couldn't stop himself from smiling. She looked so cute every time she's surprised about something. "Hopefully, she won't back out in our situation after her call."
While he was busy cooking, Cayenne was busy composing her thoughts. She wanted to be prepared before talking to Manager Kim. She was pacing back and forth when she received a text message from the company. She was approved to have a three days leave.
"Three days leave?" she asked herself with blinking eyes. "Did he ask for another leave for me?" She read the message from the start to end and she found out that it was requested today and approved today. "Which means, this was the thing he asked manager Kim earlier?"
She bit her lip as she dialed the number of their manager. She had no idea what to talk first but she just trusted the manager won't be judging her. The phone rang twice before she got an answer from the lady manager.
"Hello, Ms. Kim."
"Cayenne, what makes you call today?"
"Uhm. About me and Stefan."
Manager Kim chuckled when she heard her incomplete statement. "Are you worried when it comes to rumors about you and the President?"
"Hn."
"Don't worry, Cayenne. I will not tell a single soul about you and the President. Rest assured, your secret is safe with me."
"Thank you, Ms. Kim."
"Sure. Sure. Just take care of yourself."
The call didn't even last five minutes and it ended. Cayenne breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the bed. She was really nervous during the call. It was nerve wracking.
"Phew! That call took half of my energy this morning." She fixed herself once again before coming out of the room to find Stefan.
"How was your conversation?"
"It went well. She reassured me that no one will know about us."
Stefan just nodded his head since he expected it already. "Here. The honeyed water I made. Every morning, you will only drink this and refrain from drinking cold water."
"Thank you." She took two gulps and placed it down on the table. "Is there anything that I can help you with?"
"Not now. Just stay in the living room and chill. I'll call you once everything's prepared."
"Okay. I'll just get something from our room."
Since he didn't need help and she was told to chill, she wanted to take this chance to make the wallet extra special for him. This was also the reason why she bought threads and needles. She was planning to embroider something on the wallet that she got for him. Something that will make him remember her every time he sees it.
"Hopefully, he will use it and won't throw it away even after we have our separate ways."
