"I don't want him to know." Cayenne interrupted their conversation when she got back. She was holding a gift bag and gave it to Chris. "Merry Christmas. That's from your boss."
"The lady boss chose it." Stefan added to give the credit to Cayenne.
"Thank you, sir. Thank you, Ms. Ardolf." Chris accepted the gift and bowed his head slightly.
Stefan just nodded his head in acknowledgement while Cayenne was blushing by his side. She didn't expect her to address her as lady boss. She didn't even think that way.
"Can you tell me what's my task today, sir."
"Go home and take a rest. Let's see each other on Monday." Stefan told him which made his secretary very happy.
"Thank you, sir. If there's something you need, just send me a message."
Chris left as soon as possible, not wanting to disturb the family anymore. The conversation about their relationship was also forgotten and Cayenne didn't talk about Arthur anymore. She knew that her mother must have figured it out herself that she didn't like Arthur anymore. What's in the past should remain in the past.
"Let's go and watch a movie in the afternoon." Cayenne told everyone.
"What movie are we going to watch?"
"Dreamscape. The one where Riley Summer starred in." Cayenne stated excitedly. "It will be shown today."
"Did you book a ticket already? I don't think you'll be able to get a ticket of that movie now." Luiz commented. Riley Summer was his favorite actress but he only admires her. He couldn't get a ticket for her movie and he wasn't able to come to her fan signing event as well. He only kept cut out pictures of her from magazine and pasted it on his notebook.
It's not like he fantasizes about her but he just really admired her so much. She's brave and she didn't care about anyone's opinion either. She does whatever she wants that would make her happy. Unlike other actors and actresses who will smile in front of the camera but were very vile behind it.
Of course, this was just Luiz's view on Riley. He had no idea that the girl was very scary when she's angry.
"I got the tickets already. Don't worry." Stefan told them and showed them the code to get the ticket at the ticketing booth later.
"What time are we leaving?"
"I booked the ticket for 4:00 in the afternoon. Let's leave the house around 2:30. It's that fine?"
"Sure." Luiz and Kyle answered in unison.
"I won't be going. There will be a lot of people and it's not good for me to be confined in crowded places." Cayenne's mother commented when everyone had settled for their afternoon activity. She was still displeased that they lied to Arthur, specially that the man had helped them a lot in the past. However, she couldn't do anything about it if Cayenne didn't want to tell him either.
Cayenne knew that her mother was sulking because of what she said and she didn't want to talk to her now. They both need to think things clearly. And she wanted her mother to think about the pros and cons of her relationship with Stefan. She needed to realize it by herself.
"I'll leave my phone with you, Ma." Luiz told her. "You can contact us if you need anything."
"Okay." Cayenne's mother replied. "I'll get back to my room now. You can go and prepare to watch the movie."
Stefan watched Cayenne's mother and shifted his gaze towards his girl. "Are you alright? Why don't you talk to her for a while?"
"No need." Cayenne smiled and sighed. "If I'm stubborn, that goes the same for my mother."
"Correct." Kyle added. "When the two of them gets into argument it will take a long time for them to make up. Just let them be."
Stefan didn't say anything anymore. He just went inside Cayenne's room and the two brothers went back to their own room as well. They were looking forward to the movie that they'd watch.
Just like how they planned it, the group of four people boarded Stefan's car and went to the largest mall to watch the movie Dreamscape.
Cayenne was wearing faded jeans, white shoes, slim fit blouse and a trench coat. She tied her hair into a high ponytail and wore baseball cap and dark glasses. Stefan was wearing black pants, black shirt and a long coat with a scarf. He also didn't forget to wear the dark shades and cap to hide half of his face.
When they got to the mall, the place was really crowded. Stefan and Cayenne was walking in between Luiz and Kyle. Even though they were trying their best not to gather attention, they people inside the mall tend to look at them from time to time.
Cayenne was pretty to begin with and Stefan looked handsome as well. Now, the two of them were hiding half of their face but Cayenne's brothers were not. Kyle was listed as one of the top students that girls wanted to sleep with. Luiz was named as darling of their school. They weren't considered extremely handsome like those male models but they still look good in their own way.
The two of them were the focus of attention by most of the teens in the crowd.
They all acted as if nothing happens or that they didn't know what the people were whispering about.
"Ho ho. Look who's here." A familiar voice sounded behind Cayenne and when she turned around, Brown and Valkyrie were standing behind them. "I was wondering which celebrity gathered so much attention from the crowd. I didn't expect it to be our darling Cayenne." Valkyrie mentioned with a wide smile, clearly irritating Stefan on the side.
"She's my darling, not 'our' darling." Stefan retorted back and even pulled Cayenne close to him. "Why are you here? Didn't Travis give you work?"
"We're here for work." Brown retorted and pointed on the other side of the mall where a woman and a man was holding each other's hand while looking at the clothing display.
