Cayenne was working seriously with the task that Stefan gave her. And while she was busy with work, Stefan was busy taking pictures of her as well. Whenever he can, Stefan would always capture several photos of her. In fact, ninety percent of the pictures he stored in his phone was photos of his wife.

At three in the afternoon, they took a break from work and Chris took this chance to call his girlfriend. Now that he's got a lover of his own, he finally found the purpose of taking breaks.

Cayenne ordered some pastries online and gave Elena and Chris their share. Usually, Chris's assistant would go somewhere during breaks but this time, she chose to stay and did her work as best as she could. You can obviously say that she was working hard to forget everything involving Chris. After all, she liked him for a long time. Letting go of her feelings and moving on wouldn't be that easy for her.

"I believe that you will have a bright future ahead." Cayenne wrote on a small note and placed it on the small box of pastry that she gave Elena. It was her little way of motivating her because soon, she will be promoted; though, they haven't told her about it yet.

After the half an hour break, the couple went back to work. Cayenne finished calculating everything and when she made the comparison, she frowned. It might be a little disparity in numbers but still, a cent will determine the win or lose of a big project. Aside from that, it shows the loyalty of your employees. A change in number when they're obviously using computers to calculate the amount, tells Cayenne that something was definitely wrong with the person who calculated it.

"Is this the first time for this employee to calculate this kind of project?" Cayenne questioned Stefan since she wasn't very familiar with the person.

"Can you come over here for a sec?" Stefan asked but his expression was actually pleading her. When Cayenne stood up, his face instantly lit up and a wide smile appeared on his face. "I'll search on the name for you." He took the document from Cayenne and looked at the name of the person who calculated it. "I guess there's something wrong with the calculation since you asked me the question." He commented while typing on his keyboard.

Cayenne sat on his lap and leaned her head on his chest, like a cat purring on him. And this made Stefan smile even wider. "It's just a little amount but I don't like it when people aren't doing their job well."

"Of course, you will be upset. When you still worked in my hotel, didn't you always receive a monthly bonus because of your performance evaluation? It's your perfectionist side."

"I'm not really perfectionist." Cayenne retorted. "I just have this thought that 'since it's entrusted to me, I should do my best to work on it and not a half-assed performance'."

"I wish all employees have the same thought process as you." Stefan kissed the top of her head while looking at the computer.

Cayenne was looking on his computer as well and when the name popped, the employee's information and the projects being handled showed up. So far, this was the first project that the employee took part in.

"Let's just say that he made a mistake this time. Maybe he just overlooked it." Cayenne mumbled, giving the employee the benefit of the doubt. She didn't want to judge him just because of this.

"How did you spot the mistake?" Stefan asked even though he had been watching her when she worked on it.

Cayenne showed him her manual calculation and the one she calculated using a calculator. Both showed the same exact amount but the one that the employee calculated showed an excess amount of $3380.15. It might not be a huge amount but it's still incorrect

"Hon, do you always keep record of the people who calculates for your projects?" she asked him after showing the information.

"Hn. Just in case there are some underhanded anomaly, I'd be able to trace it to the right person. Don't worry, I know how to deal with this." Stefan wrapped his arms around Cayenne's waist and buried his face on her hair. He really likes her scent.

"Uh…What should I do next?"

"Just stay with me like this for a little while." Stefan mumbled. He hugged her for few more minutes before letting her go to call the Finance Team and asked for the person-in-charge in the project that Cayenne had calculated.

When Joel Mason heard that he was called to see the CEO in his office, he was a little bit nervous. As far as he knew, you will only be called by the CEO if you have committed a huge mistake.

"Tsk! I wonder what mistake he did." Jason Mason, Joel's cousin, clicked his tongue and looked at his younger cousin in disdain.

"Well, he was tasked to handle a big project this time. He must have messed up." Another person commented in passing. He really had no idea and was just pointing out some facts and strung it along with his shrewd opinion.

"Aren't you worried for your cousin?" someone asked Jason as they watched Joel walked out of the office.

"He chose this career and accepted the project. He needed to take responsibility if he committed a huge mistake." Jason blurted with a smirk. He continued to work and ignored the comments regarding his younger cousin.

Joel didn't take dilly-dally and went to the CEO's office as soon as he can. When he came inside, he saw Cayenne sitting on the couch. "Good afternoon, ma'am." He greeted her politely before turning to Stefan. "Good afternoon, sir. I was told to come here for some important matter."

Stefan didn't stand or even asked the man to sit but directly threw the folders containing the calculations towards him. "Explain to me why there's an excess amount on the calculation."

"Huh? Why would there – " He didn't finish his statement because when he saw the documents, he knew that Stefan wasn't playing a prank on him. The calculation was indeed wrong.

"My wife recalculated it and found the error. So, would you care to tell me how this happen?"
