She's My Sleeping Pill

"I\'ll bring the rest of the documents home. I can work on them whenever I get some free time," Stefan told Tristan and kept his pen away. "Let\'s go to the party now. It\'s almost time to clock off from work anyway."

"Understood," Tristan replied and arranged the documents chronologically based on their deadline dates before putting them inside Stefan\'s briefcase.

"Oh! By the way, before you come to work tomorrow, can you check the identities of the people who came with Julia to the party? I sent you the videos that I received from everyone."

Tristan nodded his head in understanding. He already knew what to do. [Sigh. People just don\'t give up. You can mess with the boss but not his wife. It\'s courting death when you provoke the madam.]

"Are we leaving now?" Elena asked when she saw Stefan and Tristan come out of the chairman\'s office.

"Yes, we are," Tristan told his girlfriend and Elena turned off her computer immediately. She already finished her work for the day and was just waiting for Stefan and Tristan. "Don\'t forget to bring the gift for Justin."

"Of course, I won\'t," Elena said as she grabbed her coat and the gift bag which she placed under her desk.

With Stefan and his secretaries in the middle, the bodyguards escorted them out of the building.

When Stefan arrived at the restaurant, the manager of the restaurant led him directly to the second floor and his eyes automatically locked on the person he had been missing the whole afternoon.

He walked to her and kissed the top of her head while Aziel waved his little hands to be taken into his father\'s arms. "I\'m here," he whispered and Cayenne kissed his jaw in response. "You\'ve done well today. I\'ll take care of the rest," he said and took Aziel from his wife.

On the other hand, the two other kids were waiting for their father to come to them. Zeki still sat obediently on Ferdinand\'s lap while Jade played with him. However, it was different for the little princess. She was twisting to get out of Addie\'s hold with her hands stretched out, waving them frantically.

"Let me bring the child to her father," Collins volunteered so Addie could rest.

As if the little girl understood his words, she stopped moving and waited for Collins to take her to her father. Collins held her up and carried her to Stefan. "Sir, your little princess is sulking."

Stefan was already holding Aziel but seeing Jahzara\'s expression – the puppy eyes she always used, Stefan sat on a chair and held her with his other hand. Both children were now sitting on his lap, facing each other like two people sizing the other for who was most loved by their father.

"Why don\'t I hold Jahzara for you?" Cayenne offered since Stefan just came from work, and she wanted him to take a rest and chill with everyone.

"No, it\'s fine. You\'ve been holding Aziel for a while now. Are your arms, okay? Are they sore? I\'ll give you a massage when we get home later,"

"I\'m alright. I\'m not as tired as you," Cayenne replied and kissed his forehead. "Let me know if you need help. I\'ll just go and chat with the guests."

The party continued and Justin received a lot of gifts even though it wasn\'t his birthday or even a Christmas day. It varied in size and price, but all of them were special since he won\'t be getting gifts from them in the next 10 years.

Luiz took the microphone that the staff lent them and stood in front of everyone. Even though he wasn\'t saying anything yet, everyone turned their attention to him already.

"Ahem! Ahem!" He scoffed and smiled faintly while glancing at the people in front of him. "Tonight, we have gathered here to spend time with one of the people that my sister trusted so much. It\'s been a year since he worked with us and during his time with us, he already experienced so many things, even life-and-death situations with my sister.

Even so, he didn\'t turn his back on us," Luiz expressed before turning his attention to the young man who was sitting next to Chloe. "Justin, you are a wonderful person. You showed us genuinely how to be kind and helpful. You showed us how to appreciate people. I\'m thankful that you came into our lives. Now, you have chosen to leave to change your life.

I hope that by the time you come back to us, you\'d become a great person – someone who is capable of protecting his loved ones," Luiz took a small gift bag from his chair and handed it to the young man. "This is for you. It\'s not much, but I hope you will remember me – a big brother that you can look for whenever you need help."

After speaking, Luiz handed the microphone to Kyle. He also gave his speech, but he didn\'t make it too long since there were still a lot of people there. "I don\'t have any material gift for you, but I have a promise. I promise that I would look after your brothers and sisters until they find the families who would take care of them."

Justin nodded his head happily. This was something he was worried about. Cayenne already told him in the past that his \'brothers and sisters\' could stay with their \'grandmother\' as long as she lives, but they would all be taken to the orphanage that Jillyanna and Travis sponsored once they no longer have a guardian.

"I don\'t have a lot of money like everyone else, but I do hope I can help you with these personal things," Daisy commented and gave Justin a small, but heavy box. "These are all the books I have and I simplified a lot of notes for you. If you ever need help with your class do not hesitate to contact me. You can always reach me through my social media account."

One after another, people gave their gifts to Justin. Some of them gave him material things like shoes and bags. Others gave him gift cards that he could use to buy a lot of things. While the rest gave him cash so he could start his life properly in another country. They had no idea that he will be staying with his father. They thought he\'d be going there as a scholar.

The last person to stand in front was Cayenne. Initially, he wanted to give the microphone to Stefan but her husband was taking care of the children. Earlier, he was holding Aziel and Jahzara. Now, he was taking care of Zeki while the other kids sat inside their foldable crib.

"Justin, I know it won\'t be easy for you to live in another country, but I will trust him to take care of you. You\'re not that hard to take care of," Cayenne expressed which served as a warning to Justin\'s father. "Ten years; that is quite long. At the same time, I know you\'d be able to endure it. Just do your best there and we will do our best to help your family here.

I don\'t know what kind of things you will need there, but as soon as you settle down there, let me know and I will give you a surprise."

While she was giving her speech, the outside world was already scolding her. People were calling her vile, fake, and whatnot. They were scolding her for pushing Julia and her mother out of the Dumrique family.

Julia was eating happily in another restaurant that they found. She was enjoying the show of the public against Cayenne. She had the guts to do this because she knew that Stefan won\'t be able to do anything to her. If something bad happens, people will suspect him and his wife first.

[That is just the first sip of the sweet wine that I have prepared for you. Have fun!]
