She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 291 - NOT A LITTLE ANGEL

Chris was driving the car with great focus while the assistant secretary remained quiet the whole time. She'd answer if she's asked but she didn't initiate a conversation like she did earlier. If truth be told, she was spacing out the whole time as if she was stuck at something that she couldn't get out from her mind.

"Good afternoon. A reservation made by Mr. Hawkins please." Chris told the waitress who met them at the door.

"This way, please." The waitress politely bowed her head and led them to the VIP room that Chris reserved for them.

The four of them sat on each side of the table but Stefan pulled his chair towards Cayenne to sit closer to her. "You can order whatever you like." Stefan told them while he sat leisurely beside her.

"Alright. I'll pick whatever I like and you'll have to eat the same food that I will eat." Cayenne told him with narrowed eyes.

"Sure. I'm not picky." Stefan responded which Cayenne roll her eyes at him. This mannerism became a habit already whenever the two of them were together.

"Sure, you're not." Cayenne replied even though they both knew how picky he was. And Chris knew this, too. She turned to the assistant secretary who was still quiet and smiled at her. "Don't be shy. Just order the food that you like. Your CEO will be paying for this."

Chris chuckled hearing her words but he didn't say anything. He started ordering some dishes and the waitress was quick enough to list everything that he mentioned. Then, the assistant secretary gave her orders as well before Jillyanna said anything. She was the last to order among them but she ordered a lot.

And while listening to her, Stefan knew that half of the dishes she ordered where the food that he likes. "My wife is very considerate." Stefan commented with a wide grin on his face.

"I'm not. I just thought it would be fair since you're paying for it."

"Why won't you pay for our lunch instead?"

"No way. I'm saving my money for something." Cayenne replied almost instantly.

"Is that all you need ma'am?" The waitress asked to make sure that she won't mess up with the orders.

"Yup. That's all." Cayenne smiled at the waitress.

"Alright. Please give us fifteen minutes to fulfill all the orders." The waitress left and the four of them were left inside the room on their own.

Since they've got nothing to do while waiting, they talked about some things that weren't related to business. In the middle of the conversation, Chris remembered something.

"By the way, I'd like to show this to you." He pulled out his phone and looked for the saved pages on his social media account where he stored the recent video of Cayenne and Stefan at the mall. "I was truly surprised with what Jillyanna and Riley did." He handed his phone to Cayenne and she watched the video together with Stefan.

Watching the video, Cayenne felt the butterflies on her stomach. She didn't know they'd look really sweet when it was all normal to her. Stefan looked really adorable instead of the business devil that people knew.

After watching the video which garnered a lot of attention, Cayenne and Stefan started reading the comments. The most hated comment which received lots of replies was none other than from the man who said that Cayenne was using Stefan to gain privileges. And the thing caught everyone's attention was the very first reply to the comment. It was coming from Jillyanna's account.

Cayenne was really surprised with what she was seeing. Being acknowledged as a friend in private and being acknowledged as a friend in public were two different things. She never thought that a day would come for Jillyanna to acknowledge their friendship in public. And Riley did the same.

"They really like you." Stefan commented after reading the comments from Jillyanna and Riley. "How come they like you more than me?"

"Because I'm a sweet little angel."

"You're a sweet angel but you're not little." Stefan retorted, getting pouty lips from her instead. "Fine. Fine. You're a little angel."

"I know."

Watching them, the assistant secretary couldn't help herself but smile. And to make everyone envious, she secretly took pictures of them and uploaded it in the employees' chat forum. "I'm eating with our handsome CEO and beautiful lady boss."

"You're having lunch with them?! Why?"

"I'm so envious."

"I want to spend time with the lady boss and the CEO, too."

"Is this a double date? Sir Chris must be with you, right?"

Reading the word date, the assistant secretary couldn't stop herself from feeling disappointed. Even so, she didn't tell anyone inside the forum that the secretary liked someone.

Fifteen minutes later, their orders arrived and they finally started eating. Cayenne made placed food on Stefan's plate while Stefan placed food on Cayenne's plate. The two of them were really taking care of each other.

On the first floor of the restaurant, the stalkers also stayed to have lunch. Although the dishes were expensive, they didn't mind it as long as they can follow Cayenne and Stefan. They ordered the cheapest dishes and took their time to eat them, waiting for the couple to come out of the VIP room they were in.

Two days, they're only given two more days to accomplish everything and get the rest of the payment. They couldn't afford to mess up now.

They were eating like turtles with the few dishes on their table but they didn't mind it as long as they will get some results.

Almost an hour later, Stefan came out with his wife followed by Chris and the assistant secretary. The stalkers ate their remaining dishes and waved for the waitress to come and settled their bill.

"Please hurry up. We still have other matters to do." The other man told the waitress while following Cayenne's group with their eyes.
