She's My Sleeping Pill

“Just because she married a tycoon doesn’t mean she can be a model, too. Can’t she just stay at home and cook like what wives do?”

“InSTYLE Journal will lose their customers because of this.”

“I don’t understand why she can’t just be a good student and study like everyone else.”

“They said that she’s working with her brother for this magazine.”

“Is she planning to be an actress also?”

“Someone can always open a backdoor for her.”

.....

Stefan read these comments online just right below the promotion video that InSTYLE Journal uploaded in their account. He wasn’t against this idea but he was against the comments online. He didn’t like the comments but he didn’t want them to be deleted as well. He wanted these people to see that they are wrong to judge his wife.

Tristan walked inside Stefan’s office with some files in hand and that was when he saw the stormy expression on Stefan’s face. “Boss, do you want me to do something with these comments? The madam will be disheartened if she reads them.”

“Don’t do that. They will say more nasty things if they find out that I have asked you to delete their comments,”

“But – ”

“My wife isn’t weak. Besides, I’m not doing this for the people. I am doing this to prepare her for the surprise wedding.”

“Right. I remember the plan has included this set-up.” Tristan responded while putting down the documents. “But what if the sales won’t be up to standard? Shall we ask the employees to buy one?”

“Heh! You don’t have to worry about that. I am pretty sure that the magazine will be sold out.”

“How sure are you?”

“These commenters will surely buy the magazine so that they can diss my wife. They are bound to get disappointed, though.”

Tristan could only shake his head at how carefree his boss sounds. However, he was still worried about it. “I have sorted these documents already from the shortest to longest timeline period of project development. There are some small businesses that we can buy out as well. If you need something else, just ring me up.”

“Sure. Just leave them there. I’ll check on them later.”

“No, boss. Later can’t do. You are planning to buy some appliances for the new house, right? You have it scheduled this afternoon.”

“Right. I forgot. I’ll check on them now.” Thus, he placed his phone down and started doing his work. With his so much work to do, the comments fly out of the window and he immersed himself with the proposals in hand.

Luiz didn’t have the same problem. Since he started modeling last year, he has gotten a lot of supporters and they kept increasing every single day. His social media account has been verified and he got over 10 million followers. There were many directors who have approached him as well to cast him in movies or drama but he refused them because he didn’t have much time in hand. He needs to study and modeling suits as his part-time job since it does not require a long period of time to complete.

However, he felt a little irked this time. Although he didn’t get any negative comments, his sister did. And he didn’t like it when someone badmouths his sister.

“Just calm down. They haven’t seen the results which is why they can say these words. Wait until they are proven wrong.” Clarisse comforted as they studied in the library. It was rare for them to have the same breaktime but instead of going out to date, they prefer to study and get better grades than everyone else.

“I really want to calm down but I hate these people who judge others without knowing anything.”

“It’s their opinion. Besides, whether you do something good or something bad, people will have something to say. Just let them say what they want. I’m pretty sure that sister Yen is just turning a deaf ear on them.”

“You have a point. I better send her a message just to know she’s doing fine.”

On the other hand, Cayenne was happily chatting with her classmates. They were thrilled to know that she was modeling with her brothers and they were excited about the results. She didn’t even get the chance to check the hateful comments online. She was just happy that some people she knew were looking forward to see the results of her hard work.

When she received the message from her brother, she only replied with a gif. It was a cute little rabbit with hearts surrounding it. She can feel the love from her classmates and from the other students who expressed their supports to her.

“Yen, you have a vlogging account, right? Are you going to upload some behind-the-scene footages?”

“Right! You have not uploaded anything for over a month now.”

“You should also upload something that you always do like; a day in my life or something along that line. Many vloggers do that.”

“Yen, when will they release the magazine?”

Cayenne smiled faintly and thought about what they asked her. She remembered that Stefan was filming her during the photoshoot but she wasn’t sure until what point was he able to film. “I’m not sure if Stefan was able to film the whole process but I’ll ask him. As for my vlogging content, I want to private with my life as much as I could but if Stefan is willing, I’ll try to upload some video every once in a while. As for the magazine release, they are being printed and they said that it will be available to the public next week.”

“We’ll wait for next week, then.”

“Is it tiring to shoot?”

“Will your brother sign some of the magazines again?”

And just like that, Cayenne finished her morning with no negative things bothering her. What Tristan worried about didn’t happen because Cayenne was surrounded with people who are friendly to her. They might have different reasons for being friendly with her but at least, they are not saying mean things or doing something to degrade her.

When it was time for lunch, Cayenne left the school to dine with Stefan. It was no longer new to everyone. In fact, it would be shocking if Cayenne eats in their canteen.
