She's My Sleeping Pill

Stefan and Cayenne were covered with sweats from that intense lovemaking and their clothes were all crumpled, piled up at the foot of their bed.

"I'll ask someone to buy you a change of clothes." Stefan told Cayenne and went outside the room with a robe on. He called the assistant secretary directly instead of calling Chris. "I need you to buy some clothes for me. I want a …" Stefan mentioned the clothes that he wanted her to buy including the sizes. Not just clothes but underwear as well. "I need it A.S.A.P."

"On it, sir." The assistant secretary saved her work on her computer and left the office in a hurry. 

Seeing her fleeing like she saw a ghost, Chris looked towards the CEO's office. "They were indeed busy." He told himself before getting back to work. They still have few minutes left before lunch break but since the secretary left in a hurry, he knew that they'd be having a late lunch this time. Although, it will be extended to cover up the one-hour break.

After giving the instructions, Stefan went back to the adjacent room and found Cayenne folding the clothes that he removed earlier. "Let's take a bath first. The clothes should be here once we're done."

"Do you want to use the shower or the bathtub?"

"Whichever you like is fine."

"Let's have a relaxing bath in your tub then." Cayenne got inside the bathroom first to prepare the warm bath. Stefan took a shower first to wash his body while waiting for her to prepare whatever she wanted to put in the tub.

After preparing the warm bath, Stefan washed Cayenne's body before the two of them got inside the tub together. Cayenne was sitting right in front of him, leaning her head on his chest while Stefan hugged her small waist.

"We'll be late for lunch and the secretary, too."

"It's fine. Either you have an early lunch or a late lunch, I always give my employees an hour break for lunch."

"I see. I didn't know that you also implement that in your main company."

"In all businesses I owned, I have this working policy. I know that work can be tiring so giving breaks can be a little motivation for them."

Cayenne closed her eyes while feeling the beat of his heart. "My sudden resignation must have been a shock to Ms. Kim. When we visited the hotel last time, I didn't get the chance to talk to her because she was so busy."

"Manager Kim already expected your resignation but she didn't expect that I was unaware of it. She thought I told you to resign from work."

"I felt really bad when I did it but my emotions were so difficult to deal that time. I don't even know how I pulled myself through it and survive."

"It's because you're strong that you're able to pull yourself together." Stefan responded with a faint smile on his lips. "You're strong and brave to let me enter your world again. And Ayen, I'm so happy for that. I really thought that we'd end up separated. That really scared me."

"Well, it's in the past now. Let's forget about it." Cayenne dropped the topic and took hold of his hand to intertwined it with hers. "Let's just live at the present while thinking of the future. Let's not think of what happened in the past."

"If you say so. I'll follow your words."

They talked about other things while taking a warm bath together. When the water was a bit colder, they got out of the tub and Stefan drained the water while Cayenne put on her robe.

"Do you have a hair dryer here?" Cayenne asked and while rummaging in his cabinets, she realized something. Stefan didn't put a condom on. 'It's good, then. We can have a baby if this continues to happen.' She thought to herself without letting him know what she had in mind.

She found the hairdryer and started drying her hair while Stefan rinsed the tub to make sure that it was clean. "I'll dry your hair after that." Cayenne told him in which Stefan nodded his head with eagerness.

And like how he guessed it, the assistant secretary arrived when Cayenne and Stefan were done taking a bath and drying their hair.

The secretary gave the clothes to Chris and told him to send the clothes inside the office.

Chris knocked on the door and Stefan opened it to grab the bags that Chris was holding. "We'll be leaving for lunch in while and Ayen wanted your assistant to come with us. Please inform her on my behalf."

"Sure."

Stefan and Cayenne changed to the new clothes that the assistant secretary bought for them. "Is the size okay?" Stefan asked Cayenne while helping her hook her bra behind her.

"Why do you even ask when you know exactly what's my size?"

"Nothing. I just thought that they've become a little bigger under my hands earlier."

Cayenne elbowed his stomach which made Stefan laugh out loud. "Shameless pervert."

"That's how I am when I'm with you." Stefan whispered and lightly bit her earlobe. "Done." He picked up her blouse and put it on her.

"Why did you choose a shirt and a pair of jeans for me? A dress would have been fine."

"I can easily slip my hands under your shirt."

Cayenne face-palmed herself, regretting why she asked him such question.

After dressing up, the two of them went out of the room to meet with Chris and the assistant secretary. "Let's go." Stefan stated as he walked with Cayenne beside him.

"Sweet." The assistant secretary commented while following them with Chris beside her.

"I know, right. They're so sweet that you'd start worrying if any ants would come crawling on your feet." The assistant secretary giggled at his response while stealing glances at him.

"How about you, sir Chris? Do you have any girlfriend? You will definitely understand the CEO and the lady boss once you have a girlfriend."

"I don't have a girlfriend." Chris replied with a smile on his lips. The assistant secretary was happy for a moment but her heart was soon broken with his next words. "But I have someone I'm interested in. I'm currently seeing her but I am not sure if I'd be lucky enough to be his man."

"Oh! Good luck, then. I hope you will be successful in pursuing her." she smiled at him but she can already hear the cracking sound of her own heart.
