She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 555 - NOT BOTHERING WITH EACH OTHER

Because she fell asleep on the way to the office and spent so much time sleeping, she didn't get to eat some afternoon snacks with the employees.? And it's almost six in the evening as well, just few hours away from dinner.

'I'll just have it tomorrow.' Cayenne thought before coming out of the bedroom. "Hon, do you need help?" she asked Stefan when she noticed that he was in a daze behind his computer.

"I'm okay. Just take a rest." He didn't even look at her when he responded to her which made Cayenne realize that something was really bothering him. She didn't have much knowledge when it comes to company matters so, she kept quiet and just sit on the couch while waiting for him.

Stefan checked the information on the shipping lines and knew that something was wrong. He contacted his father earlier but Magnus only said that everything's going well. The report couldn't lie to him, though. Stefan pulled out his phone and sent a message to Tristan. "Hack the shipping line network. Let me know their current status."

"Your own shipping lines?" Tristan questioned in reply. He couldn't believe that Stefan was asking him to hack his own company instead of strengthening its network security.

"Dad is currently managing it to help me but he's keeping a secret from me. Let me know what's the problem in half an hour."

"Alrighty."

Stefan knew that his father wouldn't let him know what was the problem. If he wasn't thinking too much of his wife, he would have known that something was wrong when Magnus asked to help him managed the Dumrique-owned companies. Stefan wasn't really worried about it because he knew that they'd overcome it.

Stefan continued to work on other things while waiting for Tristan's report. Cayenne didn't make a sound and just watched him work, taking pictures of him from time to time without him knowing. Half an hour later, Tristan's message arrived which contains all the recent problems that the Dumrique shipping line was facing.

"Do you want to stay here tonight?" Cayenne asked Stefan when she noticed that he was so absorbed with his work, not even bothering the time when it was already seven in the evening. They should be leaving the company to come home. "I don't mind staying here with you. I don't have classes tomorrow because of the activity in the university. I will be focusing on my activities."

"Give me another half an hour. I'll just sort some things and we will go home. I want us to sleep in our own house."

"O-okay." Cayenne didn't bother him anymore since he promised to leave after half an hour.

'It looked like a normal event to the other people but with these reports, it is obvious that someone was attacking the company." Stefan thought to himself as he looked through the report. 'Is there another enemy who wanted to perish from the business world this soon?'

Cayenne was just observing him and she knew that something was really bothering him. 'How should I help?' she asked herself while looking at his serious yet handsome face. 'I really want to help him.'

"Let's go." Stefan stated as he stood up from his seat and picked up his coat.

"You are done?"

"Hn. I'm taking some work at home but it's not much." Stefan replied while putting his coat on. "Do you want to stop by somewhere and buy something before going home?"

"Not now. I'd like to go home as soon as we can."

"Sure thing." Stefan walked up to her and took the backpack as well as her handbag before leaving the office with his wife. Elena and Tristan were also preparing to go home since their boss was planning to leave already.

"Goodbye, Ms. Yen!" Elena stated when she saw the husband and wife coming out of the office.

"Goodbye, Elena and Tristan." Cayenne replied softly with her sweet smile. Tristan only waved his hand and bowed his head lightly towards her.

Cayenne wasn't feeling uncomfortable anymore and even though she was still feeling a little pain on her lower abdomen, the intensity was bearable unlike how she felt earlier.

The days passed by and Cayenne accompanied Stefan every day to the company but she only focused on her projects while he focused on his works. Even though he knew what was happening to the shipping lines, he didn't say anything about it and didn't even tell his father that he knew.

"Let me know if you need help." Stefan told Cayenne as she put her things and school materials on the coffee table.

"I'll be fine. I'll ask my classmates if needed. I won't disturb you anymore." Cayenne kissed the tip of his nose and smile. "Just focus on your work. If you want to eat or drink something, just let me know. I'll order it for you."

"Sure. Sure." Stefan walked towards his desk and turned on his computer before taking off his coat.

The two of them thought of their own matters without disturbing the other. They were both busy but from time to time, they'd take a peek on each other's situation.

"Yenyen, are you not coming to school?" Noah's message arrived and Cayenne replied with a single word – 'NO'. "Again? Are you busy with something?"

"Yes mister. I'm doing all my activities right now."

"Oh! Do you need some help? I can go and meet you to help with your activities."

"Really?"

"Yup."

"Let me ask my husband first." Cayenne replied and told Stefan about Noah's suggestion. Seeing this message coming from her, Noah smiled helplessly. It's obvious that she's very much in love with her husband. "Darling agreed. I'll give you the address and let me know once you've arrived. I'll come down and meet you."

"Faith wants to come along. Is it fine?"

"Sure. I don't mind."

"Alright. We'll be there soon. See you."

Cayenne put away her phone and arranged her materials tidily before walking towards her husband. "Your office has a lot of confidential information so, I'll go and talk with them at the cafeteria."

"I won't have any meeting today with the shareholders. You can use the conference room next door. In that way, I can find you easily."

"Yay! My husband is the best. I'll do that, then." Cayenne leaned over and kissed Stefan on the lips before leaving in a hurry to avoid developing the kiss into something else.

She brought her things to the available conference room which made Elena look at her with questioning gaze but she didn't voice out her question at all. At first, she thought that the couple was fighting because she was bringing all het things outside but, seeing the faint smile on her lips, she realized that it wasn't the case.

Few minutes later, she received a message from Noah, telling her that they have arrived at the lobby of the Clover Company. "I'll be right there. Just give me a moment."

Under the stares of the employees, Noah and Faith waited for Cayenne quietly.

"Is she making her activities here? Isn't this the company of Mr. Dumrique?" Faith asked while scanning the surroundings around her.

"That's exactly why she's here." Noah answered. "With her current condition, there's no way for her husband to leave her alone."

"Oh. I didn't realize that it would be this serious. Some couple would just forget about what happened and live their life like how they usually do."

"Don't measure them up like other couples. Their relationship is beyond our comprehension."

Faith just nodded her head in agreement to Noah. Not long after, Cayenne came down to pick them up and they followed her to the top floor where she stayed. They thought that she'd bring them to her husband's office but it turned out, they were heading for the conference room.

"Won't they use this room for meetings?" Noah asked while placing his bag on a vacant chair.

"There's no scheduled meeting today." Cayenne answered as she took a seat as well. "Just sit wherever you want to sit and don't mind the people coming in and out of this room."

"Which activity are you doing now?" Faith asked without further ado. "I am not very knowledgeable in everything but I can still help with some things."

Cayenne looked at her and smiled gratefully. "Thank you so much. I'm doing activity #10 for the 3rd class."

"Activity #10 for the 3rd class? That fast?" Noah and Faith exclaimed together in unison. Shock was evident on their fair faces.

"My husband helps me when he can and my brothers helped me, too every time they're home. I have a friend who took the same course before as well. So, the activities weren't really that difficult."

"You contacted Arthur?!"
