She's My Sleeping Pill

Cayenne's getting busier each day but she would always take some time to call her husband and her family. Whenever her class ended early, she would immediately leave the school and go to look for her husband.

It wasn't just Stefan being dependent on Cayenne but Cayenne was also seeking his presence every day. The only difference between them was that, she has more tolerance than her husband.

Four days has passed and Friday has finally arrived. Stefan has been waiting for this day. Cayenne has one class in the morning for three hours and after, she can do whatever she wants with her time.

"Call me as soon as your class is over. I'll come and get you." Stefan told her before she stepped out of the car.

"I will. Eyes on the road and send me a message once you're in the office." Cayenne responded and leaned over to kiss him. "I'm going now. See you later. Love lots."

"Love you."

The two of them went on their separate ways to start their day. Stefan watched his wife getting inside the gate of the university and for the very first time, he saw Noah in person. He was waiting for her at the gate.

Stefan's face darkened and his grip on the steering wheel tightened. He already received the result of the investigation that Tristan sent to him and he found that Noah is a decent man. He also came from a humble family and he's smart. Truth be told, he's really a charismatic guy and someone who could understand the hardships that Cayenne has been through. Looking at their faces, even if Cayenne wasn't smiling, he could tell that they're getting along so well.

"Hmp! No matter what you do, my wife will still be my wife." Stefan stated with confidence before leaving the campus.

Cayenne looked back and saw his car passing by and she smiled. She could already imagine the things that was circling in Stefan's head.

"Was that your husband's car?" Noah asked when he noticed that she was looking at the black car that passed by the gate.

"Yup. He makes it his responsibility to send me to school every morning." Cayenne responded as she walked to their classroom. "Let's walk a bit faster or we would be late."

Noah kept his strides on the same pace as her with a smile on his face. "By the way, we only have one class today. Do you have any plan in the afternoon?"

"Hn. My husband and I will be going somewhere. I think."

"You think? You're not sure?"

"Well, he told me that he'd pick me up once class is over which means he has plans for the afternoon. I just don't have any idea."

"I see." Noah was disappointed but he couldn't do anything about it. He's nothing compared to her husband and he wasn't planning to fight for a space in her heart either. As long as they could be friends genuinely, he would be happy with that.

The two of them attended their class and listened to their professor carefully. On the other hand, Stefan was busy with work while waiting for his alarm to ring. Cayenne's class will be finished at eleven in the morning but Stefan was planning to leave his company half an hour before eleven. He wanted to be early as much as he could.

"You've been glancing at the time. Why are you in a hurry?" Chris asked when he came with several documents which needed his signature.

Stefan shrugged his shoulders and continued to sign the papers. "I'll be picking her up from school and I don't want to be late."

"Didn't you set an alarm?"

"I did but I just want to make sure. What if I won't hear the alarm? It's better to be safe than sorry."

Chris was shaking his head in disbelief while listening to Stefan's reason and to think it wasn't even nine in the morning. It's not even hour yet since Cayenne's class started but he already wanted to end it.

He waited and waited. He reviewed documents, talked to clients, and entertained some guests who came for project proposals. Time slowly ticked and Stefan was losing his patience. He wanted to see his wife as soon as possible. As soon as his last appointment in the morning was done, Stefan didn't wait for his alarm to ring. He left the company in a hurry.

"Why is the boss in a hurry?" Elena asked Chris when they saw Stefan passed by them to leave his office.

"Single like you won't understand it." Tristan commented which made Elena glare at him.

When he first arrived in the company, she really thought that the law of attraction has worked and sent this man to her but now, she refused to believe such thing. Every single day, Tristan would always tease her and sometimes, he wouldn't go with her to meet with clients unless she would beg him. And not just that, whenever they would meet the clients, he would always put his arm around her waist, claiming her to be his girlfriend.

"Hmp! What do you know?!" Elena rolled her eyes and turned her head away. "I'm dating someone, too."

"Eh? Someone actually dates a board?"

"Tristan! Why do you annoy me so much?!"

"Because I like to see your frustrated expression." Tristan replied before going back to his work.

Elena's blood rushed to her head and she glared at him angrily. Her face was getting redder from annoyance and irritation but Tristan only grinned at her.

"Tsk! Why did it have to be you?" Elena mumbled this question which made Tristan raise his head to look at her. He didn't know what she meant by that and he didn't want to know either because surely, it's a bad thing.

He stopped teasing her and focused on his work. 'Why do they have to look so similar?' Tristan also asked himself while stealing glances from Elena. The first time he arrived in the company and saw her, he thought his late fiancé has reincarnated but he also thought it was impossible. After all, she died several years ago. If she ever reincarnated, she should be someone very young. As the days went by, and as he continued to spend time with her, he realized that she was very different from his ex- fiancé. She was the complete opposite of his woman.

"Don't think too much. Don't think too much." Tristan told himself while shaking his head.. He just wanted to focus on his work.
