She's My Sleeping Pill

On the next day, a mail was delivered to Stefan's office from the Consular Affairs. It was Cayenne's passport that he had asked to be expedited. Cayenne just submitted the forms and showed herself when she initially registered for it but it was Stefan who paid for it and for expediting it. He wanted her to get her own passport as soon as possible.

Cayenne had no idea that her passport was already delivered. She was still working happily with Celine, chatting with them during lunch time and was looking forward to go back home. It was her turn to cook dinner again today. Recently, Stefan had been coming home early and would cook for them when it was her job to do that.

"You look happy." Lune, the receptionist commented while they were getting their things from their respective lockers. Cayenne had a smile on her face while she was picking up her things from the small compartment. "Did something good happen?"

"The work is done so, I'm happy that we're going home." Cayenne responded while checking her phone for the time. "Maybe I should get some ice cream on the way home."

"Your brothers will be very happy to see you with that." Luna responded with a smile but this made Cayenne felt a little guilty. Because she wasn't buying the ice cream for her brothers. It was for Stefan.

She just smiled towards Luna before bidding farewell to her. She went out of the hotel as soon as possible and saw the taxi waiting for her. While walking towards the cab, she called Stefan.

Stefan's meeting was about to end when Cayenne's call came in. He pulled out his buzzing phone from his pocket and silenced the presenter in order for him to answer her call.

"Hi." Cayenne greeted him. "Am I disturbing you? Are you having a meeting or some client discussion?"

"No. You're not disturbing me. Do you need something?"

Everyone was silent in front of him and they were all watching him talk to someone. They knew that their boss likes to flirt with women outside his working hours but he would never answer anyone's call during a meeting unless it's business. And if someone calls him, they needed to go through his secretary – even his parents had to do that.

Now, they're wondering who the caller is.

Cayenne cleared her throat before speaking once again. "I'm planning to come home and have dinner with my family. I'm just thinking if it's fine with you and if you would want to come with me?"

"We're not having dinner in our house?" Stefan clarified. "That's a little sad but, it's also fine. Are you on your way already?"

"Hn. The driver just picked me up."

"Can you pick me up? I mean, you don't want me to drive my current car to your place, right?"

Cayenne smiled with his consideration. "I'll come and get you. I'll let you know once I'm downstairs."

"Okay." Stefan ended the call and sent her the address of his company building.

The meeting continued but the people's minds were elsewhere.

'The boss got married?'

'Mr. President asked someone to come and pick him up? That's first.'

'The President is in love. That's for sure.'

Stefan listened to the report in front of him while monitoring his phone for any messages from Cayenne. Just like him, his subordinates were eager to finish the meeting because they wanted to see who the woman that made their President fall in love.

"Come to think of it, the President had been using that phone for a while now but recently, he changed the cover to something that's for couple. Someone who's holding the matching case must be the one." Gossiped one of the presenters from the finance department.

"I think you are right but there are many covers with that design." Another presenter responded.

They gossiped about their boss but even though Stefan could hear them, he didn't say anything. They can gossip all they want and he will never care.

After quarter an hour, the meeting was adjourned but Cayenne was still stuck in the traffic. She already informed her family that she will be having dinner with them and that she will be bringing Stefan with her. They agreed with her since they missed their sister, too. She had been so busy and she had been staying with her boyfriend after work. Although they hated that idea, they also wanted to let her become happy and do what she wants.

Stefan waited for her to send her a message. The people who attended the meeting were staying at the lobby to know who the woman as well. They have seen so many expensive cars parked at their parking lot and they have seen many beautiful woman and handsome men picking up their partners but they didn't see their boss coming out yet.

Chris and Stefan came down together and went directly to the basement of the building. Since someone was picking him up, they thought that their boss would be coming out using the lobby. However, what Stefan did was, he asked Chris to drive him out from the basement and changed car, which was the taxi that picked Cayenne from her work.

The employees were all tricked by their boss.

There's no way he'd allow them to see Cayenne. Her identity must be kept a secret from his employees.

Cayenne waited for him not far from the company building. She was the one who told him to go out by car and changed to a taxi once he finds them.

"I didn't know you're good in tricking people." Stefan stated after getting inside the taxi.

"I learned them from you." Cayenne retorted with a straight face.

The looked at each other for few seconds and burst into laughter. Stefan gave her a thumbs up for learning something and Cayenne was rolling her eyes exasperatedly at him. "Don't be too full of yourself, sir."

"Yes, ma'am."
