She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 61 - CAYENNE GOT BUSTED?

She glared at him and stuffed the phone back on its box. "I\'m not blushing, okay? You are just imagining things."

"Then, why do you look so red? Do you have a fever?" Before she could even react, he already placed his hand at the back of her neck, pulled her close and pressed their foreheads together. "You felt hotter than usual."

"Ah! Stop it. Stop it. Move away from me." Cayenne tried pushing him on his chest but Stefan pulled her even closer. The tips of their nose were touching each other already. "You certainly have evil plans towards me." She mumbled while looking at him sharply.

Stefan\'s laughter rang inside their bedroom which made her blush even more. "Alright. I\'ll stop teasing you." He pulled away from her, keeping a nonchalant face while secretly calming his heart. "What do you want for dinner?"

"I\'ll cook our dinner." Cayenne stood up immediately while putting away her things. "What do you want for dinner?"

"Anything you cook is fine with me."

"Okay. I\'ll go downstairs to cook. Just wait for me."

Because of this unexpected surprise from him, she forgot the \'cohabitation\' problem that she had been thinking for hours.

Monday morning, Cayenne just arrived in the hotel to work and saw Chris and Stefan at the lounge. After making sure that she arrived safely, they two of them went out for work as well.

"Did you know the latest news of the boss?" Mona, her friend who worked as a receptionist gossiped with Cayenne and other workers.

"Is it about the woman who said that the boss must be truly in love this time?" another worker asked.

"Hn." Mona nodded her head. "Basically, our boss likes someone and that woman wasn\'t completely his. And he tried making her jealous which eventually failed. The woman didn\'t like him."

They still have half an hour before their shift would start so they were at the lounge, talking about their handsome boss. Cayenne who was listening to them looked at her colleagues. She was with Stefan every night but she had no idea that he likes someone. Aside from that, she didn\'t really have the right to ask him about his private matters and rumors might not be true. It would be best that she would just shut her mouth about it.

While she was listening to their gossips, she didn\'t notice that their manager was looking at her. She was observing her reactions with the rumors about Stefan. However, she failed getting any reactions from her. Cayenne, from beginning to end, didn\'t join their conversation and didn\'t express her opinion on the matter. She was just sitting in the middle of the crowd with expressionless face.

\'She\'s really hard to read.\' Manager Kim thought to herself. Even though she knew some juicy secret, she didn\'t spread it. One, it won\'t ruin his boss\' reputation because there\'s none to begin with or if there is, it was ruined a long time ago. Two, she would ruin Cayenne\'s reputation or bring harm to her after revealing that she\'s involved with their boss. Three, she would be fired. There\'s not a single advantage she would get in spreading it.

Their shift was about to start so, one after another, the employees dispersed to get to their respective stations. Cayenne went together with Celine to start their day.

Before she left for work earlier, she called her brothers to keep the cohabiting matter a secret from their mother. She didn\'t want her mother to know that she has been sleeping with Stefan. It was still inappropriate for her to live together with her \'boyfriend\' so, she told her mother that she took a part time job to pay off their medical bill.

Her mother understood their current situation and she knew that she couldn\'t do anything to stop her daughter. She agreed with it and didn\'t ask anything else.

For Cayenne, she was lying every day with her mother but she didn\'t know what else to reason with her. Even though their hospital bill was already paid off, she wanted to save in case the person who paid it will come to her and ask for the payment. She would never let anyone have an upper hand against her.

Therefore, she needed to continue her job with Stefan.

During lunchbreak, Stefan sent her a message asking her to wait for him after her shift. He was planning to have dinner with her and for her to meet someone as well.

"Who\'s Stefan?" Mona asked her who came sneaking behind her and was able to read the message that she received.

Cayenne looked at her friend and back to her phone. "He\'s a friend. Why?"

"Nothing. I was just curious since he\'s got the same name as our boss. Let\'s go and eat."

"Okay."

Cayenne was thankful that Mona didn\'t ask her any other things. It would be troublesome for her if someone knows about her relationship with their boss. "So, you\'re going to have dinner with this Stefan?"

Cayenne took back her gratefulness about Mona. "Hn. I\'ll be meeting him later."

"Are you guys dating? Are you going to finally have a boyfriend?"

"Of course not. I will never align myself with someone rich."

"He is also rich?" Mona asked in surprise which made Cayenne bit her lower lip. "Maybe the name Stefan can be associated with rich people. Our boss is rich, too."

"I know, right." Cayenne mumbled.

Noticing that Cayenne didn\'t like talking about socialites, Mona changed the topic to Cayenne\'s mother. She asked about her situation and stuff, just to diver the topic of their conversation.

Work continued with normal pace but Cayenne\'s heart was getting restless as her shift was about to end. She was a little afraid and a little curious to know who the people she would be meeting later. She knew that it won\'t be his parents because Stefan was not in good terms with them. It\'s impossible for him to introduce her to them.

\'Who could it be?\' Cayenne thought while folding the blanket in her hand.
