Chapter 154 - GIVING UP

The two of them left the doctor's office and went to the parking lot where Chris was waiting for them inside the car. The moment they stepped inside, Chris handed them his tablet and showed the information that Shein got from his quick investigation.

"William Obcial." Cayenne rolled this name in her tongue and found it unfamiliar. "Who is this guy?"

Chris started the car as he spoke. "That's the name of the man who paid your mother's bill. Are you familiar with anyone who's got that name?"

"No. I don't remember anyone with that name. And besides, why are there so many of these men with the same name? You couldn't find which is the right one?"

"No. I asked Shein to investigate on it since he's more capable than I am when it comes to networks and connections and he's got more connections than I am. Also, when I asked the nurse, they only left his name when he paid the bill with cash."

"With cash?!" Both Stefan and Cayenne asked at the same time.

For Stefan, he would pay so much but he would do it using his card, there's no way he'd pay a hefty sum with cash. That's too heavy and risky.

"William Obcial is not his real name. The man used a fake identity." Cayenne whispered while scrolling down on the phone screen to see the faces of the men that met the name.

Chris and Stefan looked at her with amusement. They never thought that she'd be very sharp when it comes to this matter. "What makes you think that the name is fake?" Stefan questioned her while Chris gave her a short glance through the rearview mirror.

Cayenne puffed her cheeks while sorting out her ideas. "I'm not really sure why but something's telling me that this person knows my mother. For example; my father. Mama, told me that my real father is rich but he was married by his family to someone else. Who knows, he might be the one who paid for the bill to help my mother. But this is just my speculation. Another thing, why would someone, if he's rich, pay a hefty sum using cash? Don't you, rich people, pay using your cards?"

Stefan stretched out his hand and rubbed Cayenne's head with a gentle smile on his face. "My little queen is very sharp. You are right, the man is using a fake identity. Do you remember when he paid bill? Let me know so that we can ask Shein to hack the security network of the hospital in that way, we would know how the person looks like."

"Let's just give up on this." Cayenne commented. "If he's a bad person, he will eventually show himself up to take credit. If he's my father, I don't need to know. My mother doesn't need to know it as well."

"Well, if you say so. As long as that person isn't my rival, I wouldn't mind giving up on this investigation." Stefan kissed the top of her head and hugged her. "If it's a bad man and he will come and get you as repayment, you must, remember it's a must; you must tell me about it so I can pay it and get you back.''

"Hn." Cayenne responded perfunctorily but deep inside, she was hoping that the person was her father. In that way, she knew that he still cared for her mother.

"Sir, I booked a restaurant for your lunch already. We'll be there in a minute." Chris informed Stefan at the backseat.

"Won't you be eating with us?" Stefan questioned. Usually, when there's a business lunch, Chris would be eating with him since he needed to taste the dishes but every time Cayenne's around, he wouldn't join them. He was wondering if Chris hated to eat with Cayenne.

Contrary to his expectation, Chris smiled teasingly at him. "Sir, ever since you became official, you can only date inside the apartment or in your house. You've never gone out. It's time for you to have a lunch date. I have reserved a booth for you. I will be dining at the first floor and wait for you two."

"Oh. Thanks." Stefan responded.

"I don't mind not having a date. We're together at home anyway." Cayenne commented when she saw Stefan's disappointed expression. It was obvious that he was disappointed to himself for not going out with her. She can understand it though. He's a busy man and she had prepared herself for this before she agreed to this relationship.

"Do you want to go somewhere on Sunday?" Stefan asked. He wanted to make it up to her but he can only do it on weekends since he's very busy.

"If you have work, just go to work. I can accompany you if that's okay with you."

"That's a better idea. Let's go to the company on Sunday, then." 'I haven't tried an office date and this is the right time to do it with her.' Stefan chuckled at his own idea. Never in his dreams did he think that he will, one day, love one of his employees very much. He's been keeping his claws away from his employees but then, Cayenne changed everything.

Chris parked the car and the three of them got out. Cayenne made sure that her face was covered with the cap that Stefan gave her. She also wore the dark shade from him. As for Stefan, he's used to being seen in the public so he wasn't worried at all. He just made sure to stick close to her in order to protect her from the prying eyes of other people.

After lunch, they all went back to work. Cayenne just made it on time for her afternoon shift. Stefan and Chris went back to the company to face documents and the shareholders once again. Stefan was swamped with work since he always skips it to spend time with Cayenne.

"Here's the result of the investigation about your mom." Chris handed him a brown envelope before going out again. "Just ring me up if you have any questions." Chris stated before closing the door of his office.
