She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 230 - GUESSING GAME OF THEIR RELATIONSHIP

"Why do you say that?" Stefan asked with faint chuckle. "That's really impossible."

"I thought you're smart." Cayenne retorted with a roll of her eyes. "Why do you think her friends hated me even though it's the first time we met and why they kept talking to you about Sabrina when you're not really friends with them. It only means one thing – Sabrina likes you and she talks about you with her friends. And because I came, they thought I took you away from Sabrina. Do you get what I mean?"

"Hn. I understand but I still think it's impossible. But if what you said is true, I still don't care. My heart doesn't beat for her." Stefan answered and gave her hand a gentle squeeze. "Don't think too much. No one can take you away from me and the same goes for me. I won't let anyone take me away from you, not even my family."

The two of them arrived in the hotel around seven in the evening. They ordered food from the hotel's restaurant and ate dinner in their room. After dinner, they showered together, made love for one round – which didn't really satiate Stefan; still he didn't force her to just fulfill his desire. They watched the city lights together while talking about the future and uploading pictures on their timeliness as well.

Even though they posted pictures of different places, Cayenne's colleagues were still able to distinguish that they're both in Italy. And the places they've been to – they're all in Venice.

And so, the discussion between employees was about Cayenne and their boss.

"Don't you think that Cayenne is the President's girlfriend? Look at them, they're both in Italy." a female employee told her friends while showing pictures of Stefan and Cayenne.

"The boss is there with his girlfriend."

"Cayenne is there with her boyfriend."

"Then, do you know who their boyfriend and girlfriend? We have no idea. And besides, I am bothered with this." The female employee showed a picture of Stefan and Cayenne holding hands together.

"What about their hands? Isn't this the post of our president?"

"Exactly. Now, tell where did you guys see this ring?"

They group of five looked towards each other. They have thought of the same person – Cayenne. Cayenne wore this ring as a necklace pendant not long ago.

"I don't think it's Cayenne. Remember, there was time that the President dined with Cayenne. He said that he gave the same ring to his girlfriend." Another employee commented.

"Correct." The female employee agreed as she scrolled down through her galleries and she stopped in one of the screenshots she took. "Read this."

They read it and found that it was about the ring that Cayenne was wearing. It turned out, there's only one pair of rings in the whole world.

"So, if the President gave it to his girlfriend, that means Cayenne is his girlfriend." A deduction came from another employee.

"See? But let's not show that we know about this. The president might get angry. After all, he's been protecting Cayenne's identity."

Not only this group of people talked about Cayenne; the employees in the restaurant, the employees who were at the lounge, those who were working, those who were eating and resting, they talked about Cayenne.

Luna heard about the gossips and many people came to her for confirmation but she stubbornly denied it. If Cayenne and Stefan didn't want their relationship to be known, she wouldn't say anything as well.

Manager Kim informed Stefan about the gossips as well but he only laughed it off. "Just let them guess. No need to become bothered with it. Our relationship is true anyway."

"Okay, sir." Manager Kim replied to his message before going back to work.

Jessie and Celine, they pretended as if they had no idea at all. Some employees came to Celine and asked about Cayenne and she told them about her work; nothing else.

Even without confirmation, the employees were already setting their eyes on Stefan and Cayenne as a couple.

The next day, Cayenne woke up first but she didn't get off the bed immediately. She watched him sleeping peacefully beside her. Stefan mentioned to her that they will be meeting his auntie and cousins today. She was really nervous but since Stefan promised that not his family can separate them, she felt at ease.

Stefan woke up around eight in the morning with the comfort of Cayenne's stroke on his head. She was kissing the top of his head, too. Every morning, it's either he woke up with Cayenne in his arms or he woke up in her arms. He raised her head and kissed her lips with a smile. "Good morning, my dear wife."

"Good morning, hubby." Cayenne lightly pinched his cheeks and kissed his nose. "Did you have a good sleep?"

"Hn. It's always comfortable sleeping with you."

"What if I'm not around. For example, when you go on business trips. What will you do without me?"

"That's not possible. I'll make sure to bring you wherever I go. In that way, you can relax yourself from work as well. There's no way I'd leave you alone."

Cayenne laughed heartily upon hearing his statement. However, little did they know that this promise will be the turn of events in their life. After all, secrets can be very lethal to a relationship, depending who's involved – and they're very involved in the secret that everyone kept from Stefan.

Cayenne will be meeting Stefan's family so, she made ample preparation for it. She didn't want to lose Stefan's face because of her so, she made sure that she didn't look tacky for their meeting.

They will be having lunch with them but Cayenne didn't expect to see Sabrina to be joining them.

"This is a family lunch." Celestine commented while throwing a side glance towards Cayenne. Obviously, she was indicating that she didn't belong to the family.

Stefan frowned with the kind of tone that his auntie was using when she spoke. "If this is a family lunch, why is Sabrina here? I don't remember her in our family tree." he retorted, ignoring the fact that he could hurt Sabrina with his words.
