Chapter 20 - QUESTIONED
Stefan let her sleep for another half an hour since it was still six in the morning. There\'s still three hours before her shift starts. He didn\'t know that Cayenne was already awake.
The two of them were still cuddling together when she felt her other side was feeling numb. She wanted to change her position. Uncaring of his presence, she turned to the other side and had her back facing him. Nonetheless, he didn\'t let go of her. He was still hugging her even though he was wide awake.
\'I\'m starting to question my decision again.\' She thought to herself while keeping her mouth shut but her eyes were already wide open. She was just trying to feel what he was going to do.
After half and hour, Stefan propped himself and sat on their bed. "Ayen. Ayen, we still need to work."
Cayenne pretended to wake up and looked at him. "Morning."
"Good morning." Stefan greeted and got out of the bed. "I\'ll take care of our breakfast today. Go and wash up first."
"Okay."
Cayenne took her robe that he bought and went to the bathroom to take a shower. Stefan decided to wash his face in the kitchen since it would become troublesome if he used the bathroom with her taking her shower. They didn\'t have much ingredients left and they can only buy their groceries on Saturday.
"Let\'s just make something quick and simple." Stefan cooked bacon, hotdog and a scrambled egg. Since there was still a little time left, he made a fried rice for the two of them.
"I\'ll arrange the table for us. Go and take a shower." Cayenne informed him since she was able to finish her bath before he could set up the table. It would be quicker if they could help each other.
"You can eat first while I take a bath."
"Just go. I\'ll wait for you." Cayenne pushed him out of the kitchen. They were interacting normally without any awkwardness between them. To her, she was just doing her job. She didn\'t think anything else out of it.
The two of them continued this kind of set up and every morning, he would drop her at the second block from her house. He would go to the hotel and wait for her to come to work or sometimes, he would ask Chris to wait for her to come and confirm that she wasn\'t late for work.
Manager Kim was starting to have doubts as well. However, she couldn\'t really confirm it since Stefan or Chris didn\'t really interact with each other. They would just keep an eye to the employees and whenever Cayenne arrived, they would also leave. It was the fifth time already.
"Yen?" Manager Kim called for her name.
"Yes, Manger Kim?" Cayenne answered while drinking some water inside their employee\'s lounge.
"Can I ask you a question? I\'m just a little curious but if I come a little too intrusive, you can choose not to answer my question."
"Hn? What is it?"
"I\'m just wondering if there\'s any special connection between you and Mr. Dumrique or with –"
She didn\'t finish her statement because Cayenne blew the water out from her mouth and it all hit her manager. "Manager..(cough and cough) Kim, sorry." She pulled out the handkerchief she always brings inside her pocket and wiped her manager\'s clothes. "Your question was truly shocking. Sorry."
"Is that so?" her manager didn\'t seem angry with what happened but was still looking doubtful at her. "I might be wrong. Sorry for shocking you."
"It\'s alright. What made you say that, by the way?" Cayenne asked while she continued to wipe the suit.
"Nothing. Just some observations here and there."
Cayenne kept her mouth shut and just focused on helping her manager dry the clothes a little bit. "Do you like the boss?"
"Hell no!" her manager exclaimed. "I was just worried if they got anything against you. I mean, you always like to work at night because you have another work during the day. Suddenly, you asked Manager Dan to change your schedule and our boss approved it. He even asked me to send you to Celine who was known to be strict and did not have a good relationship with anyone. Recently, I\'ve seen the boss or his secretary sitting on one of the couches at the lobby, observing the employees who came to work. And whenever you\'re here, they will leave."
Cayenne scratched the tip of her nose and laughed awkwardly. "I am so flattered with your assumptions Ms. Kim." Cayenne commented. "They don\'t have anything on me."
"Thought so." Manager Kim added. "Anyway, just forget my question."
"Okay."
Cayenne watched their hotel manager walked away from her and she let out a deep sigh. She was happy that there was only the two of them there or it would have been very awkward if anyone hears their conversation.
"I must talk to him tonight regarding his behavior or someone will find out about us." Cayenne whispered to herself. She went back to work after what happened and completely forgot about the sudden suspicion of their manager. It was her first time to work with almost no time to rest. The second to fifth floor\'s rooms were mostly occupied and after one check-out, someone would come to check-in. For the first, she thought that her work was really tiring.
"I think I\'m going to die." She told Celine what she was feeling at the moment and the lady just laughed it off.
"I understand how you feel. At the same, this happens rarely and as you have experienced in this past few days, you were chilling most of the time. There are just some days when people like to stay here and we\'ll have a lot of work to do."
"I know. I have never experienced it until now. Well, I can consider it good. At least, I can get used to this whole new experience as early as now." Cayenne commented while she folded the used blankets.
