She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 272 - CHRIS MADE A MOVE

"Sir, the company has closed and the target didn't come today."

"Sir, the hotel is still open but I didn't see the target today."

Arthur felt a sudden headache with the reports he's receiving from the men that he hired. But even so, he can't really blame them that Stefan didn't show up.

"Don't give up. That man will show up eventually. There's no way that he won't come to his office. If not today, surely, he'll come tomorrow." Arthur sent them a reply to their message. He has no other way of knowing where Cayenne was aside from asking someone to follow Stefan. That's the best thing he could do.

He would never anticipate that Stefan stopped coming to the office in order to stay with his wife. All of his meetings and conference were done online and Chris would only come at night in Cayenne's house to send him the documents that he needed to sign.

Arthur's men waited and waited. They waited for him with no result.

The only person that they saw was Chris. He would go to the hotel and other places but all the time, he never came out with Stefan. Usually, the secretary always accompanies his employer. But in this case, they never saw Stefan and Chris together. One of the men wanted to follow Chris but without Arthur's order, he can't do anything about it.

Saturday, usually there's no class for senior high school students but since they're having their final exam, they had extra class day for this week. But they will have no class on Monday next week. Yesterday, they had exams for four subjects. Today, they will have another four subjects which will end at lunch.

Saturday was a day off for Chris, and he didn't have any thing to do since Stefan didn't ask him to do anything special. He was bored and was lying on his bed while staring on the ceiling of his apartment.

'Buzz. Buzz. Buzz.'

He picked up his phone which was lying right beside him and found a message from Luiz. Obviously, he was telling him that they won't have any class in the afternoon and that his teacher must be tired from monitoring them. It was still half an hour past nine, which means that the message was sent during his break.

So, without a trace of hesitation, Chris took a quick bath and put on his casual clothes to visit Luiz. He needed an excuse to come to his class and since it was day time, the school allowed visitors as long as they won't make any ruckus inside the campus.

He bought some fruit shake on his way to school and there were three different flavors. He didn't know what she likes so, he ordered three to give her choices. Luiz and he can have the remaining two to choose.

He didn't drive his car in a fast speed. He was just driving in a normal speed to make sure that he'd arrive not so early or late in the campus.

"Oh! God! This makes me feel so nervous." Chris told himself and his palms were starting to sweat. This was the first time that he felt attracted to the opposite sex and even though he knew a lot of things when it comes to pursuing a woman, it was the first time that he'd apply his learnings in real life. "Hopefully, I won't fail."

During the exam, Luiz always finish his tests first among his class. But for the last subject which was English, he took his time in answering them because he was waiting for Chris to show up and he wanted the other students to leave first before he does.

"Luiz, you're taking so long this time. We'll go home first."

"Bye Luiz."

"See you on Tuesday, dude."

"Bye."

"Goodbye Luiz."

One after another, the students left the room until there's only Luiz and Ms. Chan remained. "Luiz, is the exam difficult this time? You're taking too long with your English test when you're always the first one to finish them before."

Luiz stood up from his seat and handed his exam paper. "I finished them already but I wanted to review my answers. After all, my scholarship depends on my grades. I don't want to disappoint my sister."

"I see. Well, I haven't seen any failing marks on your exams and this is the last for this year. Just inform your sister ahead of time that there will be a meeting in two weeks. I'll give you the formal letter next week."

"Okay, Ms. Chan." Luiz give her a thumbs up and walked towards his desk to get his pencil case. When he came out, Chris was already waiting for him at the lobby. "Would you like me to give one to her or would you like to give it yourself?"

"Aaahhh. This is embarrassing. Can you give it to her instead? Just let her choose which one she likes."

Luiz laughed at him which made Chris feel even more embarrassed. And when Luiz turned around to get back inside her room, it so-happened that Rissy came out of the classroom as well. And she saw Chris standing at the lobby with a red face.

"Is your uncle, okay?"

"Yup. He's vey fine." Luiz raised the plastic bag that contains the fruit milk shakes and showed it to her. "Ms. Chan, which one do you like? I have here mango flavored shake, apple-banana, and pineapple fruit shake."

"Are you bribing me?" Rissy laughed as she asked this question because she knew that Luiz didn't need to bribe his teachers at all. He was always the top of his class ever since he was in primary school. He was following the steps of his older brother who's also smart.

"Hn. I'm bribing you." Luiz moved closer and whispered. "I'm bribing you Ms. Chan to look at my uncle."

"Ahh?" Rissy was stunned and the papers she was holding fell on the floor.

"Sorry, Ms. Chan. I didn't mean to startle you." He apologized to her but he was looking towards Chris. Although, before he can signal him to come and help, Chris already kneeled on the ground to help Rissy Chan.

After picking up the papers, Rissy chose the pineapple fruit shake. "Thank you for this. I'll think about what you said." She wouldn't dare deny what Luiz has said. After all, she was really interested with Chris. 'But Luiz will graduate this year. We won't have any other excuse to see each other.' This thought added to her complicated feelings.

"What did you tell her that made her so shock?"

"It's a secret." Luiz responded with a sly smile on his face. "But you will benefit the most with it."
