She's My Sleeping Pill

"Good evening, ma'am." The guard greeted politely at the lady who just arrived. He's one of the new guards that Stefan employed so, he wasn't very familiar with all the people that were acquainted to the family. "Can I have a government ID from you? It's a policy in this household before you enter."

"Oh?" She raised her eyebrow at the guard but, seeing the additional high gate like a Great Wall of China, protecting what's within the territory, she calmed herself down. She placed her things on the hood of her car and pulled an ID for her wallet. She just handed it to the guard and the man was looking at it, preparing himself to call Stefan.

Martin, one of the trusted bodyguards, was leaving the property in order to pick up the Sugo family when he saw the lady at the gate. "Eh? Ms. Sabrina? Is that you?" He asked as soon as he unwind the window of his car. "Why aren't – Oh! Ismael, you don't have to check on her. She's sir Stefan's childhood friend."

"Thanks, Martin."

"You're welcome, Ms. Sabrina. I'll go ahead now. Enjoy your visit." He gave her a short salute and drove the car out of the vicinity.

The new guard handed the ID card back to Sabrina and apologized to her as well. "I didn't really know that you are acquainted to the people here. My apology."

"It's fine. It's good to know that you are doing your job properly." She returned the card back to her wallet and picked up the things she brought before stepping inside the property. She knew the place like how she knew the back of her hand since she stayed there for almost a week in the past. Erwin gave her a tour of the property as well so, she didn't need anyone's help to find her way.

Getting inside the house, she found Daisy in the living room talking to someone over the phone. She looked angry but she her voice wasn't really that harsh. Seeing Sabrina walking inside, her eyes widened in surprise and she smiled but because she was talking to someone, she covered the mouthpiece of her phone and told Sabrina to go to the backyard.

She didn't tell anyone she'd be coming over. Erwin had no idea that she'd be visiting and Stefan didn't receive confirmation from her if she'd be attending the party as well. In Stefan's part, it was just out of respect since Sabrina and Cayenne became friends and he invited her just for the sake of their connection. He didn't really know that she'd arrive.

In fact, Sabrina didn't come because of Stefan's invitation. She came for Erwin. She told him she'd be visiting City A next month but when she received the message from Stefan, she changed her mind. She decided to give him a surprise.

"Sabrina?" It was Kyle who saw her first and before he realized what he was doing, he already looked around to find Erwin. "Have a seat."

"Can I see your sister first?"

"Ah? Of course. Let me bring you to her." Kyle led her to the center table where his family occupied. Stefan had her back to Sabrina so when Cayenne's eyes widened from shock, he was so startled, thinking that someone scared her. "Happy birthday." Sabrina greeted and handed her gift to Cayenne. "I hope you don't mind me coming over."

Stefan frowned but still gestured for her to sit on the vacant chair around their table. "This isn't really your purpose." He said which made Sabrina glare at him.

"Can you not say it? It's your wife's birthday. At least, pretend that you don't really know my agenda."

"There's no need to hide it." Cayenne stated while pinching her husband's thigh. "Don't embarrass her." she whispered to him but Sabrina wasn't really that bothered that Stefan exposed her. "Does Erwin know that you are coming tonight?"

"Nope. He has no idea. I'm planning to give him a surprise."

"That's great. Why don't we put you in a huge box and present you to him?" Stefan suggested for fun but unexpectedly, they actually agreed to him.

"That's a great idea!" Cayenne and Sabrina exclaimed in unison which gave Stefan a fright.

'Girls, they really have a unique taste. I was just joking and they really took it seriously.'

Without leaving room for discussion, Cayenne asked someone to get a huge box from their storage room. While waiting she introduced Sabrina to the other important guests, letting her get acquainted to some of them.

"Where did Erwin go?" Sabrina asked as they walked back to their table after chatting with Jillyanna and her family.

"He said that he'd go back to his room to check on something." Cayenne answered, getting a glass of juice from the food and beverage area, and handed it to Sabrina before the continued to walk to their table.

"He must have gone back to play a game. He didn't know that I'd be here so he must be thinking that we could play for a while."

"That's probably the reason."

Not long after, one of the guards came back with a huge cardboard box. It was actually the box of the refrigerator that they bought long ago. They didn't have the time to wrap it up to make it look fancy and just asked Sabrina to stand in the middle while they put the huge box over her and tied it with a red ribbon. 

"What are they doing?" Manager Dan asked in whisper while they watched Cayenne poke little holes on the box to let some air flow into it.

"They're probably pranking someone." Celine commented while watching the fun as well.

Cayenne said something to the guard and the guard left in a hurry. Then, Luiz went to the stage and picked the microphone to start their surprise show.

"Sis, what do you think are the gifts that you receive tonight?"

"I'm not sure but I could say that most of them would probably be electronic devices." Cayenne replied while glancing at the pile of gifts on the table. There were so many of them and she couldn't think of what those gifts could be.

"How about you open some of the gifts and guess what's inside?"

"O-okay." Cayenne walked to the pile of gifts and picked a small box. "It's from my Dad. Uhm…from my biological dad." Cayenne stated while opening the small box. "I think it's a jewelry. A watch or a bracelet, I guess."

Reuben who was sitting not far from his daughter just smiled sheepishly. Ingrid didn't say anything and just grinned at the words that Cayenne said.

"Whoa!"

"Wow!"

"Her father is really making it up to her."
