Chapter 399 - JUSTIN

As soon as they reached home, Cayenne slumped on the couch and laid with her stomach on. "I am so tired." She muttered. Ever since she stopped working in the hotel, she got more free time and most of it was spent to relax. Usually, Stefan would do most of the work for her and settle whatever she needed to settle.

Now, they will start acting on their own. She will have to stand on her own two feet again because she has to go back to school. She can't possibly rely on him all the time. Stefan had to work without Cayenne by his side as well. Both of them had to grow out of their comfort zone because.

"Good evening, ma'am. Good evening, sir." A gentle voice from the kitchen greeted them which perked up Cayenne's ears. She instantly stood up and fixed her clothes to see who it was.

A young man, probably the same age as Luiz, was walking towards them from the kitchen. You cannot say he's handsome but more like a feminine boy. He doesn't really wear any feminine clothes or what but he was charming and his voice was soft. His action was kind of cautious and gentle.

"Good evening. I'm Cayenne Ardolf Dumrique. You must be Justin?" Cayenne reached her hand and the man did the same, forming a handshake with her. "Nice to meet you. This is my husband, Stefan Dumrique."

"Nice to meet you, too ma'am. Nice to meet you, sir." He was really polite and his smile was really bright. Because of his expressions and his face, you couldn't see the shabby clothes his wearing. The first thing that you would see in him was his face and his bright smile. He wasn't really wearing any dirty clothes but they were kind of old.

"Have you met everyone here?" she asked just in case she needed to do more introductions of her family.

"Yes, ma'am. Sir Erwin introduced everyone earlier."

"Alright. That's perfectly good." She smiled at him and sat back on the couch. "Go and sit wherever you like. Let's talk about the house rules and your salary." After saying these words, Cayenne shifted her attention to Stefan. "Hon, why don't you go back to our room first?"

"No."

"What 'no'? You have to go to our room and wait for me there."

"Do I really have to? You were gone for over thirty minutes in Xena University and you left me alone when we reached the Jillyanna's house. When we were in the company, you left me for ten minutes to give those snacks to Chris and Elena and you chatted with them, forgetting the fact that I was alone in my office. Do I have to be alone again now that we're home?"

Cayenne blinked her eyes while listening to her husband. He wasn't being accusative or blaming her but his was merely airing out his grievances. She was dumbfounded.

"Since that is the case, how about I propose another deal for you." Cayenne's smile put him even more unease. "As long as we're home, you can stick with me however you want. I won't leave your side. You'll go wherever I go. But if I have to leave the house to do some things, you cannot follow me."

Stefan shrugged his shoulders and stood up. "I'd rather take this thing slowly. Let's stick with your former plan, okay?" he immediately went upstairs, not wanting to deal with her plans anymore.

Cayenne chuckled seeing her husband's silly face when she suggested that to him. "So silly." She mumbled before facing the young man in front of her. "So, let's talk about house rules. There isn't much. All you have to do is keep your sleeping quarter clean and do your job properly. Your task is only to wash the dishes after everyone eats. This is because the body guards who stays at home have different eating time. So, you just have to coordinate with our chef."

"Okay, ma'am."

"By the way, can you read, write and calculate?"

"A little. We aren't given the privilege to go to school but I was taught how to write, read and compute."

"I see. In that case, during this summer, if you are not working, spend your vacant time to enhance your reading comprehension and penmanship. I'll ask one of Lucia's daughter to tutor you whenever you guys are free. Aside from that, do you want to go home during weekends?"

"Is that okay? I wouldn't be able to do my work if I go home every weekend." Justin was concerned about this because he didn't want to lose another job again.

"During weekend, my husband and I usually stay at home and that goes the same for the body guards. We can handle it on our own if you go home on weekends."

"Thank you, ma'am. I'm really happy. I have to check on my family as well."

"How many are you at home?" Cayenne asked in curiosity. Stefan told him that it was like a small orphanage which was managed by two old people who didn't have children of their own but, Cayenne didn't know exactly the number of people living there.

"We have grandma and grandpa who took us in. In the past, there were three adults with us but when they got a good job, they left the house and never came back. Right now, I'm the only adult who can work. The other eight children are still very young."

"How do you get by every day?"

"We have a small farm at home and we plant vegetables there and other root crops. Grandma and grandpa have pension as well."

"I see. This weekend, can you bring us to your house?"

"Sure, ma'am." Justin answered almost instantly but there was a trace of anxiety on his face. "Just please don't expect anything from us. You would be disappointed."

Cayenne smiled faintly and this time, she shared her story to her new dishwasher. This was her way of putting them at ease, knowing that their employer has gone through hardships just like them. She didn't feel bad telling other people what she was before meeting Stefan because that's part of her. Her past molded her into the person she's become of the present.

The two of them discussed his salary and the benefits that he will get along with it. Cayenne told him to apply for a bank account as well so that he can start saving.

"This is for you." Cayenne handed him a small brown envelope and when Justin opened it, his eyes went wide from the surprise. "That's like a bonus for getting hired. I don't know what is it called because I'm not really a big-time employer. You're the second person I have ever hired although, it was my husband and his secretary who looked for you. Anyway, it's yours."

"Thank you so much, ma'am. I can definitely buy a phone now."

"Phone? You don't have a phone?"

"No, ma'am." Justin felt embarrassed when he was asked with these questions. Many people thought he also have phone because he worked before but he's got more important things to buy compared to a phone. "I always worry that something might happen at home."

Cayenne nodded her head and thought carefully. "I'm not sure if it's still working since I haven't used it for months now. Let me check on my husband, first." Cayenne called Stefan which the other answered immediately. 'Has he been waiting for me to call him?' She asked herself because it only took her two rings for him to answer. "Hon, can you check my old phone? I think I placed it inside my drawer. If it's working, can you bring it downstairs?" From the background, Cayenne could hear the noises made by him. Obviously, he was in a hurry to come down.

Not long after Stefan came running down to the living room with an old phone in his hand. "Don't make me go back without you." He told Cayenne while handing the phone to her. He sat beside her and placed his arms on her waist, ignoring the fact that someone was still sitting across them.

Cayenne just let him do what he wanted to compensate for letting him stay in their bedroom all alone. She turned on the phone and thankfully it was still working. But they needed a new sim for him because her sim card has expired. "If it's for emergency purposes, you can have this phone now. Let's a buy a sim card for you this weekend and open a bank account as well. In that way, you can save up your money. Prioritize your needs over your wants and make sure to manager your money carefully."

"Uhh, ma'am, if I have a bank account, can you send half of my salary directly to my account and then just give me half as cash?"

"Sure. That's not really a problem. Let's settle everything this weekend. It's late now. Let's turn in and rest."

"Okay, ma'am. Thank you again." He turned to Stefan and bowed his head politely. "Thank you for finding me, sir. Thank you so much."

"Not at all." Stefan just smiled faintly and stood up from the couch. He took hold of Cayenne's bag and the two finally left together to go back to their bed.

Stefan closed the door and pulled his wife for a kiss. It wasn't a gentle kiss but a kiss full of needs and wants. "I don't want you now. I need you." Stefan muttered which stunned his wife. Taking this chance, he kissed her deeply to blow up her mind.
