She's My Sleeping Pill

In the afternoon, Tristan sent another file and piece of evidences to the police. Lucian arranged everything and because there were many families involved, they decided to have a public court hearing. In this way, everything's transparent to the citizens.

"Stefan's getting crueler now." Jillyanna commented when she read the news from her phone. "He's becoming more like you."

"It's because he's got a family to protect." Travis answered. "Aside from that, those people who died deserve justice. Stefan is just being morally upright."

"Yeah, right." Jillyanna answered before closing her phone.

The public court hearing was scheduled over the weekend and it was also the day for Cayenne and her family to go shopping. Since it wasn't anything important for them, they didn't change their plans.

They still went out to buy whatever they wanted to buy for Christmas.

The stores were decorated with lanterns, mistletoes, Christmas lights and a whole lot more of things which gives Christmas vibes. It's a lot colder this time of the year but there were still a lot of people who loves to go out and have fun with their family and friends.

Cayenne was wearing a long coat with the same style and color as Stefan's. You can probably guess who chose it. First, they decided to buy a Christmas tree. Cayenne wanted a small Christmas tree so that it won't take a lot of space at home. Stefan wanted to have a big Christmas tree, something that everyone could see if they visit their home.

"A small one is cheaper and we won't use it for the whole year. Let's save some money and get a small Christmas tree."

Stefan was shaking his head in disagreement while looking at one of the big Christmas trees being displayed. "Just as you said, Christmas will happen once a year. Why not make it grand? We can have fun with everyone. The price doesn't really matter."

"Why don't we let the sales lady choose it instead?" Kyle suggested. "I will write the word small and big on a paper and let her pick one from it."

"Deal." Cayenne and Stefan suggested.

Kyle did write the words on a small paper that he found and asked one of the sales ladies to pick one. When she did, it was with the word big. "Congratulations! We're getting a big Christmas tree."

Cayenne stomped on her feet and glared at her husband. "No matching items for you this month and the next month."

"Don't worry brother-in-law, Luiz and I will make up for the losses."

"You guys are no fair." She commented and left.

Stefan and Kyle chuckled while watching her disappearing back. Jonas could only sigh and smile at the childish adults he was with. They bought a big white Christmas tree which was 7ft tall and one of the guards brought it back to the car after it was paid and packed. The family continued to buy things like Christmas ball, lights, and other kinds of ornaments that varies from colors and sizes. The first part of their shopping was just for the Christmas decoration at home but they bodyguards have been going back and forth with lots of boxes.

"Let's buy Christmas presents for the kids first and for Justin's grandparents." Cayenne told Stefan while holding a list in her hand.

"I'll go buy presents for Lucia and her daughters." Kyle suggested.

"Then, I'll go buy present for Erwin and your two other secretaries." Jonas also said, dividing the work to make sure that they'd accomplish a lot of things for the whole day.

They separated their ways and the bodyguards divided their group accordingly as well and accompanied their employers. Only Luiz was absent due to work.

"David, what's your plan for Christmas? Are you going to celebrate it in your home or in Kai's home?" Luiz asked while David was putting make-up on his face.

"What makes you think I'd spend it with him and his family?"

"Well, you've been together for quite a while now and almost all people in the entertainment industry know about your relationship. I doubt it if his parents didn't know."

"His parents know but he didn't officially introduce me to them."

"Is that so? Are you sad about it?"

"Nope. That's normal for people in the same circle as me. Anyway, I can celebrate Christmas in another way."

"How about you come to our place? I heard from Yen and brother-in-law that they're organizing a Christmas party for everyone. The bodyguards' families will be invited, too. Although they weren't informed about it yet. It would be a lot of fun instead of celebrating it alone or with your butler."

"Then, I'll do that. Let's buy Christmas presents after work? I'll get something for your family later."

"Sure. We might bump into them since they're out buying lots of things as well."

"I bet she's buying lots of things of the children in Justin's house."

"Uh huh. That's the second thing on her lists." The two of them laughed together while talking about Christmas and stuff. After the incident wherein, Luiz was dragged down by a woman, he was always given a private dressing room. No one other than David and director can approach him. The bodyguards were guarding outside the room as well. They cannot allow anyone to stain his reputation once again.

After work, Luiz and David went out to buy Christmas presents. They had to wear face mask in order to hide their identities. Just like what Luiz said, they indeed bumped into his family. They chatted and bought things together but David and Luiz didn't say anything about the things they bought.

It wasn't until seven in the evening did they all stopped and had dinner together. It's not because Cayenne was hungry or that they didn't have time, it because the cars they brought were full of so many stuffs already.

"I hope it's always Christmas." Stefan commented beside his wife.

"Why?"

"Because you will spend my money with no qualms. If it's not Christmas, you would always hesitate to use my card."

'What a huge problem!' Luiz thought upon hearing the conversation between his sister and his brother-in-law. 'Rich people have rich problems.' He told himself while shaking his head in disbelief. "If it weren't my sister, you are completely broke now.." Luiz told Stefan as he passed by him.
