She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 372 - WORKING TOGETHER

Her father and brothers already left along with some bodyguards to move Jonas\'s belongings and other stuff.

She got out of bed to change clothes and wear some pads to prevent any leaks. Stefan changed the bedsheet, pillow covers and blanket, and placed them in a basket so he could wash them downstairs. He didn\'t really mind washing the things with her blood stains on them.

"Sweetheart, I\'m going downstairs to put these items in the machine. I\'ll be back as soon as possible."

"Okay." Cayenne softly whispered her answer and smiled at him. She was sitting on the couch, holding the hot compress on her own now. She\'s already feeling better but the pain was still there, though it was already faint and she can already handle herself.

Stefan left the room with a basket of laundry, looking back at her before closing the door to make sure that she\'s alright. Just as he promised, he didn\'t really take long. He just put the laundry inside the machine and poured soap powder on them. After turning it on, he left it on its own volition. He went to kitchen and prepared her meal that she missed to have with everyone this morning.

When he came back to their room, she was lying on the couch with her feet up on the wall. She was still pressing the compress on her stomach but she looked a lot better now compared to her expression when the dawn was breaking.

"Come and have breakfast." Stefan stated as he walked across the room, placed the tray on this bedside drawer before coming to her side. "You missed breakfast with everyone so, I decided to just bring your meal inside."

"How about you?"

"I\'m eating with you. I brought enough food for both of us."

"Okay. Let\'s eat."

She\'s more cheerful now and she smiles at him genuinely without any traces of pain on her face. This made Stefan sigh a breath of relief. He was really glad that she\'s getting better.

"Did I scare you again earlier?" Cayenne asked while walking beside him to their bed.

"I wasn\'t really scared but I was worried. I didn\'t know what to do with you and I didn\'t know how painful it was for you. I can only watch you suffer from your period."

"You didn\'t just watch me, okay? Stop thinking so negatively. Didn\'t you make a hot compress for me? Besides, there\'s nothing that we can really do about this. It\'s part of me already. And it only happens on the first day of my period. And it will slowly fade. In the afternoon, I\'m sure this will be gone."

Stefan pulled her close and kissed the top of her head. "My wife is very strong."

"Of course. I\'ve always been strong." Even if she\'s got moments that she showed her weakness, Stefan didn\'t really say anything about that. He just allowed her boast in front of him because he knew that Cayenne only shows this side of her to him. "Didn\'t you have any plans today? I must have ruined it again."

"I just planned to work today. Chris will be here any moment to bring my work since I don\'t want to leave your side."

"Are you also planning to work tomorrow?"

"Hn. I need to work in order to make up for the days that we had vacation with the students and for the next trip that we\'ll have with the whole family."

"What about me? What am I going to do? I can\'t just sit here and do nothing, right?"

"Just do nothing today and tomorrow, you can come with me to the office."

"Okay."

They continued eating their breakfast while chatting in whispers in their own room. Around ten in the morning, Chris came with a briefcase which contains the work that Stefan needed to deal with for the whole day. He reported some things to him and after making sure that he didn\'t forget anything, he left in order to continue his work in the company.

The two of them went to the study room and there, Stefan dealt with the documents while Cayenne was lying on the couch once again.

"Hubby, I\'m bored." Cayenne mumbled. "Can I do something to help you?"

"Are you fond of analyzing things?"

"Not really but I can still do it if I put some effort."

"Then, come and help me analyze the advantages and disadvantages of these projects. You can have one to start with and let me know of your opinion. Last time, you were able to observe the meeting and you jotted notes even though you\'re in the middle of translating my proposal and your idea were good."

"It was just in passing. This time, I\'ll put on more effort for these works." Cayenne picked one document that has no approval from him yet. The two of them sat side by side, reading documents and discusses it right after. Cayenne has very good analyzation skills and Stefan was very happy about it.

"How about you study to become my secretary?" Stefan asked her with a teasing smile. "With your skills, I\'m sure we\'ll be very efficient with our work."

"No way. If I become your secretary and we stay close to each other every single day even inside your office. I don\'t think we\'ll be able to do any works. So, you better give up on your idea."

His hearty laughter echoed inside the four corners of the room and Cayenne couldn\'t help but smile. She was telling the truth. Knowing how insatiable Stefan can be and how shameless he can be, they\'ll for sure do it inside his office. There\'s no way they\'d be efficient with work.

"Alright. Let\'s stop joking now." Stefan ran his fingers through her hair and kissed the tip of it. "Once we get back from our family trip, we\'ll look for school where you can transfer to in order for you to finish your studies."

"Hn. I\'m looking forward to it."

After teasing and flirting, they went back to work again and just stopped thirty minutes before lunch. No matter how busy they were, one thing that Stefan would never want her to miss was her meal. He was already traumatized when Cayenne was sent to hospital because of her ulcer. And it was even his fault. Now, wherever they went to, he would always keep in mind that Cayenne must eat three meals a day. She can eat snacks if she wants and it didn\'t matter to him.
