She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 418 - ENTERTAINMENT HALL II

Cayenne was walking beside Stefan with his arms wrapped on her waist. They looked left and right, trying to make out the figures inside the entertainment area. When she spotted her siblings and Dominic, she sighed in relief but she didn't go to them.

"Shall we have a drink at the bar counter? I'd like to observe the place first." Cayenne suggested

"Sure." Stefan led her to the bar counter and ordered a glass of pineapple juice for her. "This will help you with your digestion."

"Hn. Thank you." Cayenne accepted the juice while Stefan ordered some wine. They won't be going out this afternoon so, it's fine if he drinks a little. "By the way, do you have any idea where Papa and Uncle Stan went to? I sent them a message if they wanted to play here with us but they didn't reply."

Stefan pulled out his phone and sent a message to the bodyguard assigned to these two adults instead. Two minutes later, they received a picture from the body guard. It turned out that the two men were busy grooming themselves.

"So, they went out to shop." Cayenne nodded to herself as if agreeing silently to what she was seeing. In truth, only Stanley was grooming himself. He will be working in a company after two weeks and there, he will probably meet that girl he saw during his contract signing. He wanted to be at his best when this happens.

Jonas was helping him look for clothes that would look good on him.

"Before you try to hit on her, you better figure out if she's single or taken." Jonas told Stanley. "We don't want trouble coming our way. It won't only affect you but also the rest of the family."

"I know. That's why I'm asking you for help because I heard that you and your late wife was very sweet. I cannot ask my parents about it or else, I'd trigger my mother's illness. I cannot aske Stefan and Cayenne either knowing that they have a lot of things to think about every day." Stanley was checking himself in front of the mirror, turning around for several times before he looked satisfied. "What about you? You don't have any plans of finding someone who can cuddle you to bed?"

"Nah. I'm too old for that. Don't forget that I'm older than you and I have three kids."

"Two kids."

"Three. Cayenne is also my child even if we're not blood related." Jonas corrected, not letting anyone make Cayenne feel like an outcast.

"Oh. I understand." Stanley nodded his head.

The two continued to buy stuff while the body guard followed behind them, eating an ice cream with a nonchalant expression. If you ever bump into him, you wouldn't think he's a bodyguard because he looked like a tourist as well. He needed to blend with the people around him.

Back inside the entertainment area of the resort, Cayenne and Stefan talked about a lot of stuff. Luna still got two weeks more to work in the hotel and after that, she would leave to come home to her parents with Ali. In Cayenne's mind, her best friend was really brave. When she fell in love, she fought against the world for Ali. She didn't give up just because her parents told her to. She even gave up her rights to the inheritance for her boyfriend. She ran away from home and stayed with her boyfriend, starting a life of their own without asking any help from her parents. Ali was very considerate of her as well. He knew how much adjustment she needed to live a poor life just to be with him and to meet her needs, he worked so hard to earn money. Thankfully, Luna wasn't a brat. Every single time that he gave her all his wages, Luna will buy groceries, two or three new shirts and jeans for him and some other things they needed at home. And the rest, she would save it for their future.

In her mind, she has to save for the both of them. They needed to work hard for their future because she could no longer rely on her parents. Who would have thought that they'd ask her to come back and even told her to bring Ali home?

"I'll have to meet with Luna and Ali before she goes back to her city." Cayenne told Stefan what was in her mind.

"I don't mind." Stefan swirl the glass in his hand and the liquid content glide from side to side. "But, I should be coming with you, right?"

"No, of course, not." Cayenne answered instantly. "We still have the mission to do. As long as there's a chance that I can go out, I'll take it as an opportunity for both of us."

"Why do I feel that you're purposely making appointments with other people?"

"You're only imagining things, hon."

Cayenne looked down to her juice and took a sip, making sure that Stefan won't see her mischievous smile.

"Hon, I'll go to the bathroom really quick. Don't go anywhere." Stefan told her as he stood from his seat. "The guards will be watching you over. I'll be right back."

"I know.? You can go now."

Even though he said that he'll come back as soon as he can, he couldn't really do it because the bathroom was quite far from the entertainment area.

Seeing that she's alone now, the other men who found this opportunity started making bet as to who can successfully flirt with Cayenne. Seeing their lascivious smiles, the four guards who were observing the area slowly made their way to Cayenne.

"Young madam, can we sit over here while sir isn't back yet?" one of the guards mumbled softly while standing beside Cayenne.

"Sure. Go ahead." The two guards sat on each side of Cayenne, preventing other people to take the place. 'Let's see who would dare to mess around now.' The two guards thought while looking ordering something to make their act even more believable. The other two bodyguards were still playing with other guests but their eyes were quickly scanning the people inside the hall.

Seeing her being surrounded this bulky men, one of the men who wanted to flirt with Cayenne found this opportunity to save the damsel in distress, not knowing that he was slowly stepping into his own coffin.
