She's My Sleeping Pill

Stefan had so many scandals before meeting Cayenne which earned him the name 'rich playboy'. Letting the reporters catch him in his affairs and flings was all part of his plan to tarnish his last name and make his father and grandfather even more angry. Although it failed and on Clara remained hostile against him.

Some of his affairs and flings were true and some were not. When he met Cayenne, he was very honest about it and he told her the truth as well.

Now, he's got so many connections with the reporters. He can give them news if he wants to and refuse their request if he didn't want to. Simple.

Gavin just finished the taping for the weekly variety show, where stars appear to promote their movies or any drama series that they cast in, when he received a call from his manager. She was so angry at him that if ever he was in front of her, she would have clawed his face already.

"Why didn't you tell me about this issue?!" the manager screamed on the other line. "You know that we cannot offend the people close to these big shots! I'm pretty sure you have an idea of his identity. Why must you ruin your career like this?!"

"Jiji, what are you talking about? I don't know who you are referring to."

"I'm talking about Luiz! That Luiz Ardolf! The model! Cayenne Dumrique's brother! Stefan's brother-in-law! Riley's friend! Who else do you want me to refer to?!"

"What do you mean? I wasn't the one at fault and I just shared the post of him and my girlfriend! If someone should get angry, it should be me! It's my woman that he messed up with!"

"I'm impressed! I am so impressed that up until now, you would still believe that woman! I have told you several times already that she will be the stigma of your career! Look what she has done! Open your account and see what she has done! I don't care anymore. If you really love her, go and let her manage your career!"

The call ended before he could respond to her and Gavin was left standing in the hallway with an astonished look on his face. This wasn't the first time that she gets angry towards him and he likes it when she's angry, an obvious display that she cares for him. But he wasn't sure if she cares for him because of their past relationship or if because he can bring her money which was why he always use tricks to make her angry. This time, her anger wasn't just for show. She's really displeased and wanted to quit being his manager.

He took a deep breath and dialed her number to call her but she was no longer answering his call. He dialed it again and again until she directly turned off her phone. "She must be really angry this time."

"Sir Gavin, I have checked my social media account and searched for your name. Many people are boycotting your shows and many of your fans are unfollowing you. You have gained many haters instead." His assistant stated while showing his phone to the actor. "What shall we do?"

"You don't need to do anything. I'll handle this on my own." Gavin responded and left the TV Station. He just boarded the car when he received a message from the production team, stating that his segment will be postponed, not until he fixed the issue with Luiz.

Luiz works as a model but the people surrounding him has many connections to the entertainment industry. They would never want to make enemies with him unless they have lost their mind like Gavin and Mica. Although, Gavin still contained his rationality, it's not assured yet if his career will be spared.

He was just about to post a public apology, drafting his message on his phone when he received a call from Mica. He just looked at it and let the phone ring, not answering or rejecting it either. The ring stopped for a while and few seconds later, it rang again. His phone rang incessantly and he stopped typing his message due to irritation.

"Sir Gavin, there are many reporters outside your apartment building. It would be difficult to get inside." His secretary stated when he saw the numbers of reporters flocking on their apartment gate.

"Just let them in. Don't do anything aside."

"Okay, sir."

The guard opened the gate and after getting an instruction from the secretary, he allowed the gate to be opened a little bit wider allowing the reporters to come in.

"Gavin!"

"Gavin, can we have a few questions with you?"

"Gavin, we are here for a short interview."

"Gavin – "

Gavin stepped out of the car and looked towards the reporters who were holding their notebooks and their recorders. "I'm really stress right now. What is it that you want? I don't even want to talk about the issue of my lovely girlfriend and that well-known model."

"But that is why we are here. Have you read the response from Luiz Ardolf? Did you know that it was your girlfriend who approached him with motives?"

Gavin looked forlorn when facing the camera and he has been sighing several times ever since he stepped out. Unexpectedly, he bowed his head in front of them and since many reporters had this interview live, the people were able to see his face and his deep bow across the screen.

"I'd live to apologize to Mr. Luiz Ardolf for the words that I have said online. Of course, having seen your girlfriend kissing another man, I would definitely choose to believe her without asking questions. I'm pretty sure other people would do the same thing. At the same time, these past few days, when there was no response coming from you and nothing came from my girlfriend, I was starting to doubt the events specially that it was just a picture. I have tried contacting her but there was no response coming from her. I have been sending her messages to know the truth. Until now, I don't know where she is and I won't deny my mistake either. I just hope that you can forgive me for being blind and careless."

"So, basically you are still in relationship with the model." One of the reporters stated.

"I can say yes to that. Even if I want to break up with her, I cannot do it. I don't know where she is. I asked my assistant to look for her in her apartment but no one was answering. How will I break up with someone who isn't even willing to talk to me?"

"Are you saying that she's just using you to get some modeling work and approach Luiz?"

"I don't think so. We were alright before. She never did anything to cause me to doubt her but one thing is for sure, after this incident, I realized who's loyal and truthful to me. That's all I can say. Please excuse myself."
