Chapter 467 - SOLD OUT

When Stefan sent him a message, Chris was on the phone talking to his girlfriend. Usually, they'd go out and have a date but because he was in the process of leaving the company, he was busy training the two people who will be occupying his position. He had to talk with the military forces as well, reporting to them every other day, making sure that they're up to date with any news and for him to get information as well.

The last time he had a date with her was three days ago.

"You don't really have to feel bad about it. When classes resume, I will be even busier and it will be difficult for us to meet. Let's just savor the time that we have. In any case, I'm not running away from you." Rissy told Chris over the phone. "By the way, on my birthday, I will be showing you the transformation of my secret room."

"Huh? Secret room?"

"Yup. My first ever room."

"Wait! You have decided to change it?"

Hearing the surprise from his voice, Rissy could already imagine the look on his face. She laughed faintly while telling him what she has been up to. "I decided not to dwell on the past anymore. I don't want to be the kind of person who lives in a darkness."

"That's great. I'm so happy for you and I'm sure your parents are happy, too."

"Yup. They're very happy about this. In fact, my father was the one who volunteered to repaint the walls. My mother also helped me with the decorations."

"That's great. By the way, can we go and have a date tomorrow? I want to have an advance celebration for your birthday, a day which will be for both us."

"Sure. I don't really mind. Are you picking me up?"

"Of course."

The two of them talked about other things while she walked back to her house. They ran out of milk at home and she can sleep without drinking milk which was why she went out of their house and went to the nearest convenience store.

"Accompany me to buy groceries tomorrow, okay? We ran out of milk at home."

"Is that why you went out again? I told you not to go out when it's night time already. You could have told me about it."

"You're busy with work. I don't want to bother you with trivial things."

"It's not trivial. Your safety is my priority. I should put guards around you, too."

"Hey! I don't need guards."

"Why not? I will be at ease with someone strong around you, specially when I'm not around."

"Come one. I'm not a kid."

"Exactly. You're not a kid. Many people out there with bad intentions will be looking at you. I don't like it."

"Stop it. I can protect myself."

They continued to talk until Rissy arrived home. Since it was already late, they decided to end the call and rest the night away. The next day, Chris went to work with a smile on his face. He was even whistling his way while walking at the lobby. Seeing his handsome and cheerful face, many female employees smiled at him. His smile was really contagious unlike the new assistant secretary who kept them at arm's length and someone who didn't smile at them. When they greeted him, he will only nod his head. But there's an exception. Whenever Elena greeted him, he will rub her head and smile at him. Even though she was his superior at work, he still acted like an elder because of their age.

Elena didn't mind it though. She's used to people doing it to her. Her friends will always gently pat her head or sometimes rub it. Tristan was no different to them.

Stefan didn't come to the company that day. He went to accompany his wife to buy the magazine and do some shopping as well. Cayenne was happily chatting with him as they walked inside the bookstore who also sells magazines of different kinds. However, the smile on her lips vanished when she noticed the empty magazine stand.

"Excuse me, don't you have the latest edition for YES magazine? The summer collection?" Cayenne asked the staff who was currently arranging the other magazines.

The staff looked towards Cayenne and to the man beside him. Since they were wearing glasses and cap, the man didn't recognize them. They weren't really disguising themselves. Cayenne just felt wearing them so she did. And to match with her, Stefan also put on his cap and glasses.

"I'm sorry ma'am but the stocks we have, it was sold out yesterday. The next batch will be sent this afternoon."

"S-sold, sold out? Are you sure?" Cayenne asked in disbelief. "Is it the one with the two male covers?"

"Yes, ma'am."

Cayenne still held the expression of disbelief on her face. She really couldn't believe such thing to happen. "Can you reserve me a copy of the magazine? I'll come and get it in the afternoon."

"Oh sure. Can I get your name for identification later?" Instead of giving her name, Stefan told the guard to come over and give his own contact details. "Alright. Just come and get it around four in the afternoon." The staff went to the counter and wrote the guard's name. He was the 105th person to ask for reservation. 'Are these two models famous?' he asked himself mentally while looking at the poster above the magazine stand. Someone even tried getting that poster but one of the staffs stopped the customers because it wasn't included.

Cayenne looked into the official website of the magazine and there she found that not only her, but the magazine team was also surprised and dumbfounded. It was the third time in the whole decade since the founding of their magazine that they needed to make a reproduction of their magazine. They didn't expect it at all specially that the two male models weren't celebrities. They were just someone they took because the initial contracted models couldn't make it. Who would've thought that they actually received a blessing through them?

It didn't just benefit the magazine but Cayenne's vlogging account benefited from it as well. Her subscribers doubled and most of them were female, looking for more update regarding her brothers' lives.

"I didn't know it would come to this point." She blurted out in a daze. "This won't bring them harm, right?"

"I don't think it will. We're here to protect them."

"Right. Right." Cayenne continued to walk beside her husband. After few minutes, she moved on from her disbelief and decided to focus on their shopping. She couldn't let her husband take advantage of her emotions. After all, it's the day of the month for him to choose a matching item. She didn't want to come home and realize that he bought a lot. She needed to supervise him.
