She's My Sleeping Pill

Stefan worked in his office while Cayenne chatted with Elena. From time to time, he'd check on her and see what she was doing. If possible, he didn't want to take his eyes off of her but he has to.

'Knock! Knock! Knock!'

Tristan came inside while holding a folder with some information about the recent business problem. He thought everything was going well after Travis promised to deal with that old man. Who would've thought that he'd drag them along with him to hell? It wasn't much of a problem to Stefan but he has a lot of employees. If his business gets compromised, it will affect his employees and he didn't like that.

"Show no mercy to this man and deal with him as soon as possible. Travis was very considerate of me and didn't get rid of this person for the sake of our friendship. However, this man didn't learn his lesson." Stefan commented while looking at the money he lost this past few months.

"He's considered your uncle, right?" Tristan questioned while formulating his plan on a bond paper.

"What kind of uncle will attack his own family? He should have been thankful already that my great-grandfather gave him some shares and assets even though he was considered a bastard. He didn't have to work hard in order to live frugally but he still chose to attack us."

"So, do you want to take his life?"

"Let's leave that to my grandpa's and father's hands. Just destroy everything that he owns. It doesn't matter how much money we'll have to spend to destroy him."

"Is lady boss aware of this thing?"

"He knows that someone's harming the business but she has no idea that the person is related to me."

"Do you think she'll be angry?"

"Nope. Cayenne is kind but she can be heartless sometimes. You don't have to worry about her opinion, just do whatever I tell you."

"Okay. I'll go and start it now." Tristan opened his laptop and contacted Napoleon's secretary. He dug up a lot of information about this man and why he was working for this devil when he was qualified to work in some decent companies owned by decent people with integrity. He shouldn't be suffering under Napoleon. "Let's start with company secrets."

Napoleon was having wine in the living room of his mansion at Royal Garden. He suffered some losses from Travis and Magnus but it didn't stop him from attacking the business of the people he hated the most. He hated Ferdinand. He hated Magnus. He hated Stefan. He hated them all due to the fact that they were legitimate heirs to the Dumrique's vast wealth. He hated them because despite having money, he couldn't use it to help his mom. To become rich, he has to accept the surname and live his life in their territory and in exchange, he can't see his mother again. He wasn't allowed to talk to her.

Leaving home and getting rich, this was the biggest mistake he made in his life. He thought he'd be able to help his mother after getting rich because he's got the Dumrique's blood running in his veins. He didn't expect that the next time he'd see his mother would be during her funeral.

He hated his decision. He hated his father. He hated Ferdinand for imposing such rule just because he was the current heir. He hated Magnus for having a complete family and now, he included Stefan in his hatred just because he was doing the things that Napoleon couldn't do in the past.

These three people were the mirrors of his regrets and seeing them makes him loathe himself even more. As for Cayenne, he didn't hate her personally but since she's the current mistress to the Dumrique's bloodline, she's bound to get herself hurt.

"Sir! Sir!" his secretary came running to the living room with a tablet.  "I got a report from the company's network security department that someone has hacked our company and stole company information."

"What?!" Napoleon threw the wine glass on the floor and the red win spilled like a blood.

The secretary flinched from fear and was cowering while handing the tablet to his employer. "Th-this…this is th-the report."

Napoleon took the tablet and read the information. If you look at the stolen information, it was nothing but a bunch of old documents. He was relieved to see these but one thing caught his eyes that made him stagger on his feet. Those old documents were previously processed and worked by his previous secretaries.

"S-sir? I – '

"Go away! Go away or I will kill you!" Napoleon shouted and threw the tablet as well. "Don't make me see your face in the next few hours!" His bloodshot eyes were wide and glaring the secretary like a maniac killer who was out for a hunt.

The secretary left in a hurry to hide himself in his room upstairs. Even though Napoleon told him to go away, he was actually restricted to stay in the mansion. In that way, if Napoleon needed him, he can easily call for his secretary and there's no need to travel.

The secretary closed the door of his room and leaned his back on it. He was relieved at the same time, he was anxious. He immediately fished out his phone from his pocket and sent a message to Tristan. "Please ensure my and my family's safety. That's all I need from you."

Tristan received the message and smiled. "Don't worry, your family is safe. We paid Napoleon's men to become one of us instead while on the other hand, they'll pretend to be working for your employer. Also, even if they chose to betray us, they will be disposed first before your family is harmed. Just do whatever I say."

"I got it. Thank you." The secretary deleted the string of messages and Tristan also hacked the secretary's phone to erase any traces of their conversation.

Napoleon has no idea that his secretary has long betrayed him. If you threaten someone to work for you, they will never be loyal to you. They're only working under fear but no devotion. One wrong move and they will become the greatest weapon that an enemy could wield against you.

"I'll give you one month. I'll triple your bonus in December if you can deal with this man cleanly." Stefan told Tristan as he sat up. He's got money and he's got people to work for him. He didn't really need to worry that much.

The stark difference between Napoleon and Stefan can be seen on how they treat their employees. Stefan knew that his employees are the one's working for him to earn big and he valued them.. As for Napoleon? It was still even questionable as to where the previous secretaries went.
