Chapter 297 - CAUGHT IN THE ACT

Cayenne and Ingrid went back inside the house after the older woman had calmed down. Cayenne showed her some pictures of her when she was still a child as well as pictures of her siblings. Ingrid was happy that Cayenne didn\'t hate her and she was finally able to relax around her.

"Lunch is ready. Let\'s go and eat." Reuben took the two of them and led them to the dining area. They ate their food happily, ignoring the unhappy events in the past.

Stefan served Cayenne wholeheartedly while she held on to the hot compress on her lower stomach. She didn\'t fell any pain earlier but in the middle of having lunch, the pain came back.

"Are you really alright?" Ingrid asked her. "I haven\'t experienced any pain during my monthly visit so, I don\'t know how to remedy that kind of pain."

"I\'m fine. I\'ll be okay after some time. It\'s not as painful as it came this morning. Stefan and I know how to handle this. Let\'s just eat. Once I feel warm, the pain will be gone."

"O-okay."

Cayenne didn\'t show any painful expression on her face in order to prevent them from worrying about her. She just ate her food contentedly, praising her father\'s dish as well as Stefan\'s. She was really happy that the two men got along together.

After lunch, Reuben and Ingrid stayed for an hour before leaving. They invited Cayenne to visit their house in the future and she promised she would but they don\'t know when it will happen. In truth, Cayenne has no plan in doing so. Ingrid and her father might be kind to her but she had no idea how the other people in their family would react. She better avoids any issues to live a peaceful life.

"Are you feeling better now?" Stefan asked her while rubbing her lower stomach with the hot compress. Cayenne was lying on the couch with her head on Stefan\'s lap.

"I\'m feeling a bit better. Don\'t you have anything to do? I can manage on my own now."

"Do you want to stay in the study while I work? I have a meeting at two in the afternoon."

"Okay. I\'ll stay with you, then." Stefan lifted her up and carried her upstairs towards the study room. He settled her on the couch and went to their bedroom to get some warm blanket to cover her. "Is there anything that I can do to help you?"

"I\'m not so sure but you can listen to the meeting and tell me your opinions later."

"That would fine." She needed something to distract her thoughts from the pain she was feeling which was why she asked if she can be of some help.

Stefan set up his laptop on the coffee table in front of the couch and connected his headset on the port. He first called Chris through the conference meeting ID to make sure that he can be heard by everyone and vice versa. Chris checked the speaker in the room which was connected to his laptop as well as the TV where Stefan will be shown earlier.

After all the preparation, they just waited for the board of directors to come for the meeting.

Cayenne sat beside him while flipping the pages of the financial magazine that she bought when they went to the mall last time. She bought it with no hesitation when she found that it was her husband on the cover. There was segment on the magazine which was all about him and she had been reading it again and again.

"When will you be tired of reading that?" Stefan asked while watching the section that she was reading. "If you want to know about me, you can just ask me directly. You don\'t need those magazine reports."

"It\'s different." Cayenne retorted and continued reading with her eyes. "If it\'s me in this magazine, will you buy it or not?"

"Of course, I will buy. I want to feel how you are during interviews conducted by other people."

"Likewise." Cayenne replied to him with a smile.

Stefan pulled her even closer and leaned his head on her head. "Can we visit my mother\'s grave?"

"When?"

"Next weekend. We can leave in the morning and have lunch in City D. After that, we can drop by our house and check on your father to have dinner with him as well. You promised you\'d have dinner with him."

"That\'s fine by me. Is there any reason why would like to come and visit her?"

"It\'s her birthday."

Cayenne turned to face him and cupped his cheeks. "Don\'t be sad. I\'m sure your mother is happy now to see you grow and become successful."

"Hn. I believe you."

"Why do you believe whatever I say?" Cayenne questioned with eyebrows raised and eyes narrowed.

"Because you\'re my wife. There\'s no reason for me to doubt you."

Stefan\'s answer rendered her speechless and Cayenne couldn\'t find any words to retort him. She blinked her eyes several times while staring right at him.

"I won\'t doubt you either." She threw these words at him and kissed his lips quickly, giving him no chance to pull her and deepened the kiss.

"Our lady boss is indeed sweet and loving." This comment coming from Chris brought Cayenne back to reality. She thought it was just Chris who found them but when she looked to the screen of the laptop in front of her, she was perplexed. Several pairs of eyes were looking at them in surprise and some were smiling teasingly at them.

"I changed my mind. I won\'t listen to your meeting anymore." Cayenne removed the earphone from her ear and scampered away from him. She sat on the couch across him with her red face and embarrassed expression.

"You knew they\'re watching, didn\'t you?" She asked Stefan with accusing eyes.

"I didn\'t know. I was surprised as well."

"You don\'t look surprise at all."

"I am." Stefan chuckle, put down the earphone and excused himself for a while. "Just stay here so I can see you, okay. The meeting will be over soon."

\'Over soon? We haven\'t even started.\' The board of directors thought of these words when they heard the faint statement coming from Stefan.

\'The cold devil has changed. The lady boss brings us luck! Thank god for that.\' If they\'re in front of the temple now, they would certainly bow down in gratefulness.
