She's My Sleeping Pill

Chris explained everything to her which took quarter and hour. He tried to be brief as he can but he also wanted to prolong his stay if possible. Sadly, he needed to do other things in the company.

"You won't mind it, right?"

"No, of course not. It's for the safety of my smart student. I'm glad that you're doing your best to keep him safe. Thank you for reaching out to us."

"Thank you for teaching him as well. I'll take my leave now." Chris bowed his head slightly at her and when he looked at her, the smile on his lips was bright.

Rissy watched the man walked away from her and she felt a little complicated deep inside her. It was the first time that she wanted to spend a little more time with the opposite sex who's not a student and not a co-teacher as well.

'This is bad.' She thought to herself before going inside the classroom to start her class.

Chris scratched the back of his head as he walked out of the school campus. In truth, he didn't really have to talk to the class adviser but when he was planning last night, he decided to check the school administration as well as the faculty; and his eyes were glued to Rissy's profile. They have the same birthday.

He went back to the office to start working in behalf of his boss who was still busy pursuing his wife. Even though they have reconciled, they weren't back to how they were yet. Cayenne was still very reserved around Stefan.

When he arrived, his assistant secretary came to inform him that there were six men waiting for him in the visitor's. "Thank you, Elena. Can you bring us some coffee?"

"Okay, sir." Elena went to the pantry to make coffees for Chris and the visitors.

  Inside the visitor's lounge, Chris met the mercenaries that were hired through some connections. They looked normal like some fresh meat from the military camp but Chris knew how bloody their hands were. They will kill if asked to. They're bound to money not to morals. They're the type of people who will be loyal to you as long as you have the money to pay for them.

"You will be divided into three groups, two people for each team. You will be guarding three people. One in Peach Wood subdivision. His name is Jonas Slyvester. He's the stepfather of our lady boss. You must follow him wherever he goes and take care of any harms around him. The other two are students in X university. Kyle Ardolf, a college student; and Luiz Ardolf, a senior high school student. One of each pair will monitor their master closely. The other one will monitor them secretly from a distance."

"When will we start?" one of the men asked.

"You can start today." Elena came and placed the cups of coffee on the table in front of them. "Let's divide the group." Chris continued and divided the six of them into pairs. He also gave one car for each pair and handed them the cards that they can use to buy their daily needs. There was also an apartment rented for the six of them to stay. "I will give you the contact number of your employers and the people that you will be guarding. If something urgent comes up, you need to inform the president and the lady boss immediately."

"Okay." The six of them agreed with a faint nod of their heads.

After Chris assigned them their task, he began with some company matters. He also informed Stefan of what has happened to make sure that he's updated.

Cayenne was currently planting the tomato seedlings, Stefan was planting the eggplant seedlings and Erwin was planting the beans. The three of them worked early in the morning to make sure that the plants won't wither later from the sunlight.

"Do you have any plans in the afternoon?" Stefan asked Cayenne while planting the seedlings.

"I don't. I will just be staying at home, idling and reading books."

"Let's visit grandpa this afternoon. He's been bombarding me with messages to bring you home."

"I don't mind. Let's go there later." Cayenne agreed with a faint smile. "Do you want to bake something with me? I'd like to bring something for them."

"Let's make some cookies for them. Grandpa likes cookies so much."

"Alright. I'll prepare them after planting these seedlings here."

As they continued to plant, the doorbell rang which made Erwin stopped planting and went to the front yard to open the gate.

"Good morning. Is Cayenne here?"

"Yes. Come inside. I'll go and call her for you." Erwin brought the guests to the living room before calling Cayenne from the backyard. "Young miss, you have visitors."

"Who?" Cayenne asked as she put the seedlings back to its bed. "I'm not done here yet. Can you take over my work?"

"Sure. Just put the remaining seedlings there. I'll plant them for you."

Cayenne removed her gloves and went to the kitchen to wash her hands. Stefan was following right behind her as well. "There's some dirt on your face." Cayenne commented while reaching out to wipe Stefan's face. "Let me get a tissue for you. You wash your hands first."

Cayenne took a roll of tissue from the cabinet in order to wipe her husband's face while he was washing his hands. The two of them looked so loving and caring, like they didn't have a fight few weeks ago. Although Cayenne looked reserve sometimes, she still cares for him.

After making sure that they're all clean, Cayenne went to the living room to see who came to visit her. To her surprise, Jillyanna was sitting on the couch with Jade, Riley and Brown. The four of them came to visit her.

"Oh! My! You guys are here! I'm sorry I was taking so long. I was planting something in my backyard." She strode quickly towards them and gave them a hug. "I'm so glad you've come to visit me."

"I heard Stefan's been visiting you, too." Brown replied with a cheeky smile. "You guys have reconciled already?"

"Yeah. We have." Stefan answered his question with a tray of refreshments in his hands.
