Chapter 346 - PLAYING THE MATCHMAKER
"Sis, is there any other tourist spot that you can go here? A place where you can have a good date?" Cayenne looked at his brother and unintentionally, her eyes went to look at Clarisse who was busy cutting vegetables. Luiz noticed where her eyes went to and he couldn't stop himself from glaring at her. For the first time, he glared at his sister.
"Hahaha." Cayenne laughed so hard while pointing at her brother. "You should have seen your expression. I didn't even say anything yet."
"You didn't say anything but your face says it all." Luiz retorted feeling aggrieved and wronged. "I'm telling you now that it's not what you're thinking."
Cayenne nodded her head in agreement but it was obvious that she wasn't convinced at all. Luiz couldn't do anything about it and he wasn't planning to do anything about it at all.
"We're planning to surprise our teacher and we wanted to include Uncle Chris." Luiz started to divert his sister's attention because she kept looking at Clarisse. He was worried that his classmates would notice it.
Stefan put down his coffee on the table and looked at Luiz. "I knew some places here that you guys can use. If you want we, can check it out later."
"Thanks, brother-in-law."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Well, your sister and I was planning the same thing. Since we have one goal, we might as well think together."
"So, you want Teacher Chan for your secretary, too?" Luiz asked.
"I don't mind. She's the first woman that Chris got interested with and she's a good girl. I have no qualms about her personality and background."
So, the students began to discuss their plan with Stefan and Cayenne in order to give their teacher a surprise. After an hour, their two targets have come home with lots of grocery bags. The students helped them carry the items to the kitchen and arranged them inside the fridge and the cupboards.
The students acted like nothing and continued doing whatever they were doing. Some were chatting, taking pictures and uploaded it on their social media accounts, drank their coffee and milk, they were all behaving like usual.
Stefan took out his phone and sent a message to his secretary. "Chris, we're going to have a trip later after having breakfast. Can you check online if there's any van services around that we can rent for the students?"
"Sure." Comes a fast reply from Chris and he was soon scrolling on his tablet while doing the task that was given to him. He had no idea that he will become part of the surprise later. And he was even helping them. "I'll go and talk with Stefan for a while." Chris told and left Rissy in the living room. As soon as he left, the students with to Rissy to gossip with her. They were more like friends instead of teacher and students at all.
Chris approached Stefan and Cayenne, and showed the information he found online. "Which one do you want to use? And how many?"
"I think three should be enough. The rest can go along with us if they won't fit inside the three vans. You can just choose whichever you think is best."
"Okay." Chris scrolled up and down and after finding the nearest van services to them, he called and booked them for today's use. He didn't know where they will go and what time they will be back so, he booked it for the whole day. After getting the confirmation, Chris transferred the down payment and told Stefan that everything's fine.
At eight in the morning, they all have their breakfast together, along with Cayenne and Stefan as well as the bodyguards. They students didn't feel awkward and the atmosphere was warm. Everyone was just having fun.
After eating breakfast, they started taking showers and changed their clothes since they will be going on a 'trip'. Stefan and Cayenne showered together again to save time and water. It was really just saving time and water and nothing else because Stefan had something else planned for both of them.
The vans they rented arrived at half past nine and the students started getting inside to find seats. Luiz allowed his classmates to get inside first, making sure that everyone's comfortably seated. "Make sure that you didn't forget your important belongings like phone and wallet." Luiz reminded them.
"We're all good." The students responded.
"Is this van full already?" Luiz asked since there were still five students who weren't able to get inside and that includes him and Clarisse.
"We're full here already."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Alright. I'll check out the other vans." Luiz closed the van and left to check the other two vans if there were any available seats.
"We're full now."
"Okay. That's fine. I'll just become a third-wheel to my sister and brother-in-law again." Everyone chuckled at his response since it's really awful to become a third-wheel, specially in a relationship like Cayenne and Stefan.
Luiz went to Chris and called his classmates to come over. "Uncle, can you let Jill and Cindy, ride with you?"
"Sure. Get inside girls." Luiz opened the car door for them and the two ladies went inside. "How about her?" Chris asked when she saw there's another girl left.
"Clarisse will be staying with me."
"Ohhh." Everyone just 'Oh'-ed and that included Chris and Rissy. Seems like they discovered something in this short vacation.
Luiz turned to Clarisse and asked her to wait for a moment while he settles his other classmate. "I'll let you ride with the bodyguards. I'm sure you will have a good time with them." Since he was male, it was alright to spend time with the guards, compared to a woman spending time with them.
After making sure that everyone's settled already, Luiz went back to Clarisse and led her to Stefan's car. "We'll be staying with my sister and brother-in-law. Just ignore their overloading sweetness later."
"O-okay." Clarisse followed Luiz silently and Cayenne, who was watching them from the side mirror, couldn't stop grinning from ear to ear.
She knew it! Her gut feeling was telling her she was right but, since Luiz wasn't saying anything, she didn't say anything either. She was just smiling at him teasingly. 'My brother has grown.' She thought to herself while watching them from the mirror.
