She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 273 - STEFAN IS SMARTER

'Buzz. Buzz. Buzz.'

Cayenne's phone kept vibrating on top of her table. She's currently eating lunch with Stefan in her house but the phone call made her pause for a while.

"Who's calling?" Stefan asked even though he clearly saw the name of his rival appearing on her phone screen.

"It's Seiji. Can I answer this call for a minute? This must be something important. I mean he would always contact me if it's something important."

"Go ahead." Stefan didn't mind it because they promised that they'd never keep any secrets again. Sure enough, Cayenne answered the call right in front of him.

"Seiji, you've called. Is there something wrong?"

"Yenyen, I am not saying this because I want you to have a dispute with Arthur but because I care for you. You must be careful with Arthur from now on. And don't go out alone no matter what happens. I won't visit you as well in order to prevent him from using me to find you."

"Why? Is something wrong with Arthur?" Cayenne was a little bit confused why she needed to be careful with someone she grew up with. Although she always felt that something bad will happen when she's alone with Arthur, she ignored it in the past because she liked him.

"You know that he likes you, right?"

"I don't know. We never talked to each other about that. Or maybe he said it but I was too preoccupied to even realize it."

Cayenne heard the deep sigh from Seiji on the other end of the line. "Arthur likes you. We weren't friends, to be honest with you. We always compete to win you over but sadly, none of us got you. However, Arthur is different from me. I can take my defeat and leave with pride but Arthur won't. He's looking for you everywhere and I believe that nothing good will happen if you bump into him.

"I never knew about this." Cayenne mumbled with a disappointed look on her face. "Thank you for letting me know about this Seiji. I'll be very careful from now on."

"Hn. That's what I wanted you to do. Anyway, when's your wedding?"

"We-wed-wedding?" Cayenne's flustered face made Stefan looked at her and frown. The call was on loud speaker so Stefan heard what he said. "W-we…we haven't talked about it y-yet."

"Tsk! What's your husband doing?"

"He's eating." Stefan laughed at Cayenne's response which gave Seiji the signal that the two of them were together.

"That's not what I mean." Seiji massaged his temple with a helpless smile. "Anyway, I won't take so much of your time anymore. Just remember what I said and don't forget to give me an invitation to your wedding. Bye Yenyen."

"Bye." Cayenne ended the call and placed her phone on the chair beside her. "Don't mind what he said. Let's think of how to deal with Arthur first. I don't think Seiji was joking about what he said."

"I agree with you on that." Stefan put down his spoon and fork before picking up his own phone to send Chris a message. He needed everyone to stay alert in order to protect his wife. And Chris was responsible for managing the secret guards. He's the one who plans everything to make sure that no one will get hurt anymore.

If Stefan was still alone, he wouldn't mind having no guards to protect him. But now that he has Cayenne, he didn't want to die so early and leave her. He wanted to be there for her until they grow old with white hair and loose teeth. He may not have said his vows yet but he was only allowing death to part them; and no one else.

Arthur became wiser with all the reports that he received. Since they couldn't find Stefan, he told them to follow his secretary instead. He knew that the man will go to Stefan sooner or later because of some things that will need the CEO's attention. He may not be someone who deal with business matter but he knew this common knowledge. The secretary will always look for his employer.

So, instead of being in separate location, the two men that he hired decided to follow one person which was Chris.

However, Cayenne and Stefan were aware of his plans already so Chris was also informed. Instead of sending the documents to Cayenne's house, Chris was told to send the documents to the Dumrique's family villa and then, the butler will leave the house with the documents to send it to him.

It may take time but it will at least divert their attention and would prevent them from finding Cayenne.

Arthur might be smart but Stefan was smarter. After all, he had been dealing with lots of danger in his life. He's already used to it. At the same time, even if he was used to it, it didn't mean that Cayenne have to get used to it either. As much as possible, he wanted her to live a peaceful life.

"Sir, we have been following the secretary for three days now but all we know is that he visits the villa owned by Stefan every day after work and he would talk to Ferdinand, the previous Chairman about some things. We never saw Stefan or his wife in the villa."

"What does he do after that?"

"He'd go home and rest. And then morning comes again and his routine continued. The only thing that he does which was out of place was meeting a woman during his lunch break. He seemed to be dating."

"Tsk! Continue to watch and follow him. I'm sure that he'd find Stefan soon. It's impossible for the company to go on without the Chairman's decision. He must be somewhere with Cayenne. Please check for me if they left the country as well."

"On it, sir."
