She's My Sleeping Pill

Celine was nonchalant about their boss tagging along with them. Cayenne didn't care about Stefan watching her as well. She worked as if he wasn't there.

From one room to the other, Cayenne and Celine worked as usual with Stefan watching over them.

"When it's the last room, I want Ms. Ardolf to work alone. I want to see how she'll be doing without your help." Stefan told Celine. The latter just nodded her head but Cayenne was raising her eyebrow when he was looking at him. She really had no idea what's going on in his mind.

After ten minutes, they moved to the last room.

Cayenne looked towards Celine but the older lady just smiled faintly at her. "Just show the boss that you can do better without my help."

"O-okay." Cayenne also smiled and got inside the last room with the card in her hand. Stefan followed her inside.

The moment the door was closed, Stefan pulled Cayenne into a hug and kissed her forehead. "I'm so upset." She hugged her back and pressed her face on his chest.

"What exactly happened?"

"Clara is not my mother. I checked the DNA test results this morning and found that I am an illegitimate child of the Dumrique family. And they just happened to visit me when I discovered the truth. Although I have the blood of my father running in my veins, I still hated it."

"What about your biological mother?"

"She's dead. She died after giving birth to me."

"I'm sorry to hear about that." Cayenne mumbled and gently pat his back. "Did they tell you about her identity and where she's located?"

"Hn. I'll be going to check on it this afternoon."

"Will you be alright? Are you going alone?"

"Why? Do you want to come along with me?"

"Nope. You can bring Chris with you." Cayenne retorted with faint laughter. "I don't want to gather more attention than I already have. But you must take care of yourself."

"I'll keep that in mind. I'll be back immediately."

"Okay."

The two of them hugged for a little bit more before Stefan let go of her. Since Celine wasn't around, he helped Cayenne when it comes to changing the pillows and bedsheet.

As soon as they finished, they went out of the room with the dirty items. Celine was waiting for them outside.

"That was still quick than I expected." Celine expected. "I know you can do it."

"It's all thanks to your help." Cayenne mentioned. She turned to Stefan and smiled. "Is there anything else that we can do for you, sir?"

"Nothing. Since you were able to do your work without anyone's help, I expect you to be very efficient when you're with Celine."

"Yes, sir." Cayenne responded but she rolled her eyes at him when Celine wasn't watching. 'Without anyone's help? Didn't you help me?' Cayenne questioned mentally but she kept a smile on her face.

"I'll be leaving now. Have a great work, you two."

"Thank you, sir." Celine and Cayenne responded in unison.

Stefan walked ahead of them and went back to the lobby. He looked for Manager Kim to tell her something about Cayenne's break but when he arrived in the lounge, he found her holding the bouquet of flowers that he gave to Cayenne on her right hand and there was a petite woman in front of her. Some of the flower petals fell on the floor and some of the flowers were inside the trash bin.

Manager Kim turned around and found the president standing behind her. She closed her eyes and faced him directly. She knew that the sender of the flowers was now standing inside the room with them.

"What happened here?" Cayenne asked when she saw Stefan inside the lounge. Manager Kim was holding a familiar bouquet of flowers and there's a woman beside her who was looking pale from being caught red-handed. "Is that my flowers?"

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry." The woman, if cayenne wasn't mistaken, was named Melody. She had been working in the hotel longer than Cayenne but she didn't know how she offended this woman. In fact, she never had any encounters with her. "I didn't mean to do it. I just wanted to see the flowers and it slipped from my hand and fell on the trash can."

"And you think I'd believe that?!" Stefan questioned angrily. He was the one who sent the flowers to Cayenne so, how could he let this matter go? "Let's go and ask the security to check the footage of the camera in this room."

"Yes, sir." Manager Kim led everyone out of the room. "Come with me." She pulled Melody up without bothering being polite. She knew that there's no way that the girl will be able to escape this matter. She offended the boss himself after throwing the flowers inside the trash bin.

Cayenne saw that the issue was escalating but she didn't want to cause a scene. "Sir, can we just ignore this? I don't want to cause any trouble and you don't really have to be bothered with this. You have more important things to do."

Stefan snorted. "Ridding evil people from my hotel is also important. What I hate the most is an employee who causes harm to other staff. I won't let this matter go." Stefan responded in a loud voice. The commotion attracted the other employees already. "What's more, those flowers came from me." Stefan whispered when he passed by Cayenne's side. "Come with us." Stefan told her.

She really didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Just because of the flowers, he will make things difficult for Melody. She followed him out and the four of them went to the security office which was located in one of the rooms in the second floor. Cayenne didn't say anything. She just walked beside him.

"Play the video inside the lounge from one hour ago." Stefan ordered the security personnel. They didn't ask what happened but followed his order without any questions.

Melody trembled and started crying once again. She knew that she was doomed.
