Chapter 795 - 795 TWENTY-NINE III
795 TWENTY-NINE III
After lunch, Manager Kim went upstairs to get Cayenne and her friends. Together, they went to the rooftop where Stefan’s surprise birthday will be held. The once spacious rooftop has now a huge dome made of fiberglass. It was something that Cayenne asked Stefan to build three months ago for the employees who like to have their lunch there. He didn’t know that the true purpose of this dome was for his birthday.
“This is beautiful.” Faith commented when they got to the venue. “Did you really design this place?”
Cayenne beamed proudly at her friends as she told them the truth. “I talked to Stefan about my initial design and he helped me with some details to make sure that it would complement the hotel. An architect helped us finalize the whole design.”
“Madam,” Martin called and told Cayenne about Stefan’s gift. “Dr. Albert and his wife sent their gift for Stefan but it was delivered to the mansion.”
“Can you ask someone to bring it here? I’m afraid that Stefan would suddenly come home and find the gift there.”
“Got it.” Martin left and sent instructions to one of his colleagues who were stationed at the mansion.
Cayenne looked around and found the staff waiting for her instructions. They didn’t want to do anything without her permission. “Can you please move this table there?” She asked while pointing to the left corner of the dome. “I’d like to have the balloons arching here at the entrance …” One after another, Cayenne instructed them and the bodyguards helped as well in carrying heavy things to finish things quicker.
When David came, he brought in a lot of pictures that Stefan represent the milestones that Stefan has achieved so far. There were photos of him accepting an award for his business, a photo of him and Cayenne in their home, during their wedding, with the dogs, playing with their horses, attending events with his wife as well as the photo of Cayenne’s first pregnancy report. It was something that Cayenne provided herself.
Cayenne already contacted Stefan’s friends and family about this surprise and they cooperated with her without asking questions. All they needed to do was to appear in the venue and celebrate his birthday happily.
.....
When they found out that she was pregnant, Cayenne decided on a black and gold birthday theme. In color symbolism, they signify power, abundance, prosperity, and extravagance. When choosing this color combination, she prayed that more blessings will come in Stefan’s life and that includes children.
“Yenyen, how about this size of the balloons for the picture wall?” Faith asked since she decided to help as well.
“That looks fine. Shall tie them with ribbons and attached the pictures instead?”
“Oh! That sound’s great. So, we’ll not paste the picture on the wall anymore?”
“Let’s not. I realize that it will damage the back of the picture if we place adhesive tape on them. We can just staple them in that way, when he gets the pictures later, I can just buy stickers to cover the small holes.”
While she was busy preparing for his birthday, Stefan was busy working in his office. From time to time, he would check his phone, hoping that Cayenne remembers his birthday and sent her birthday greeting. None. Thinking that it was really strange for her to forge it, he decided to check his wife’s location. He wasn’t expecting anything but he was wondering if she has really forgotten it or was planning a surprise for him.
[Hm? She’s still at Xena University? I thought they were supposed to go somewhere this afternoon.] He thought while checking her location and concluded that the trip was probably canceled. He never doubted that Tristan was hiding Cayenne’s true location. [How could she forget my birthday?]
Smiling foolishly as if he remembered something, he went to the 5th floor of his company and checked Cayenne’s foundation office. Jackson was there, working on documentation which will be posted in Cayenne’s official account. Stefan’s smile vanished. “Ayen asked you to work on this today?”
“Yes, sir. She told me to finish them as soon as possible and post them online.”
“What about after this? Did she ask you to do something else?”
“Well...” Jackson pulled out his iPad and checked his schedule in front of Stefan – his fake schedule. “After posting this, I’ll have to visit the charity venue for hydrocephalus patients. Then, she asked me to check Mr. Laborada’s daughter along with the woman who lost her home in a fire.”
“Oh. Okay.” Stefan left without turning back. He didn’t know that those things Jackson mentioned were done in the morning. However, there were more things to work on with the woman who lost her home.
As soon as he disappeared, Jackson pulled out his phone and contacted Kyle. “He really came. Ms. Yen really knows him.”
“That’s how much they knew each other. After posting that documentation, you can leave and go to Clover Hotel first. I will just finish my task here.”
“Got it, sir.” Kyle didn’t like being called ‘Sir Kyle’ if the person wasn’t a student but Jackson told him to get used to it since he will be called that way in the future by many people.
That is the perk of being a teacher. Wherever you go, whatever the time, when you meet people who know your occupation, they would forever call you teacher, ma’am, or sir. At some point, even your relatives would start calling you in the same way that your students do.
Just right after Kyle put down his phone, Stefan came to the warehouse and found him doing his inventory for the relief goods which will be given to the people who got affected by a huge fire which includes the woman on their list.
“You should go on a date more frequently. Cayenne has an assistant already. You don’t have to spend so much time here.”
Kyle looked back to face his brother-in-law and smiled. “Kath comes here often to help as well. We kind of treat our time here as our date. Besides, you are paying her every time she comes.”
“Did Cayenne tell you to work today?”
“Well...she didn’t tell me not to help. Why?”
“No-nothing.” Stefan checked the goods in front of him and smiled faintly. “Thank you for always helping her.”
“She is my sister. There’s no way I’d just sit and watch when she needed people the most.”
Disheartened, Stefan left the warehouse and went back to his office. Kyle and Jackson were working efficiently and none of them even greeted him. He really thought that Cayenne asked them to prepare something for him but it turned out there was nothing to expect.
“Maybe she prepared a dinner date?”
