She's My Sleeping Pill

Since she was someone who didn’t pay attention to the number of views or the number of people who follows her account, she didn’t know that she reached more than a million followers already. She only checked her account when she received a package from the website developer – a token of recognition for reaching this milestone.

Another surprise was the sales of the magazine. For whatever reason, many people bought the magazine that she worked on with Luiz. All of the printed copies were sold out and many stores were flooded with consumers who asked for a reprint since they weren’t able to get one. At first, she thought that it was manipulated by Stefan just to make sure that she wouldn’t get hurt by the number of sales. However, she was told by David that there was no insider manipulation regarding the sale.

“I have to think of something,” Cayenne told Noah and Faith during their break. Instead of calling Stefan to chat with him, she went to the library with her friends.

“Think about what? Do you need help?” Faith asked while thinking about what could Cayenne’s problem be. She thought she already have everything that one could ask for so it was a surprise to her that Cayenne might want something.

Cayenne opened her notebook and showed them what she had written so far. “I wanted to thank the people who have supported me all this time. Of course, I have plans for the orphanage and other foundations as well.”

“What about a gathering for your fans and those who supported Luiz? I mean, I think he hasn’t done that yet.” Noah suggested which Cayenne listed in her notebook. “Or, you can have some giveaways. You can buy something to give them or give them cash.”

.....

Faith thought hard about this thing since this will be for the people who have been supporting Cayenne all this time. After about five minutes of silence, she slowly spoke about the thing she had in mind. “How about posting something? Then, you can ask people to comment on your post with their wishes. To make sure that it will be fair, you can set a timeframe and then, choose people randomly and make their wishes come true. You can ask others to choose people based on the comments as well.”

“That sounds great.” Noah agreed. “It seems a lot better than what I have thought so far. If you buy things and give them away, those people might not like them or maybe they don’t have any use for them. Giving cash doesn’t feel like anything special either.”

“Alright. I will discuss this with Stefan once I get home. Do you guys want to join me during my thanksgiving event?”

Faith readily nodded her head even though she wasn’t sure if she can go yet. She was just excited to be part of Cayenne’s achievement. “Are you sure? When will that be? I’ll go if I don’t have any scheduled plans for that day.”

“That will be on the 3rd Saturday of this month.”

Since she received so much love from people and gained monetary value from it, she wanted to use this to help other people instead. Although she loves money and she likes having them, she would feel better if she shares them. She didn’t need much to live and survive, and Stefan always made sure that they have money as well.

Bless those people who help others with no qualms. Bless those people who never think of getting anything in return.

And Cayenne was this kind of person.

The moment she got home, she told her family about her plan. Although she will spend her own money, she wanted the whole family to be involved with the whole planning and execution of her plan. She wanted them to be part of anything that she would do for others.

Taking this opportunity, Stefan agreed and even told her to spend his money if she needed it. Of course, Cayenne wouldn’t do that because she has so much already. What delighted him the most was the time that she’d be taking in these events. She’d be so busy with all the things she needed to do and surely, she wouldn’t have the time to monitor him. This will give him a lot of time in hand to finish the wedding plan as well as the house that he wanted to give her.

Stefan smiled secretly with these thoughts.

Just as he expected, when Saturday came once again, Cayenne refused to go on a trip with him. After breakfast, she started talking to the organizers of the events, and thinking that she would disturb his work, she left the study room and went to the balcony of their bedroom. There, she discussed the details of the events and the things that she needed to do.

“I’d love to spend a lot of time with them but I can only go on Saturday since my husband has other plans. There’s an orphanage that I want to visit on other days as well. If it’s okay, we can divide the time into a morning and an afternoon event. We can visit 2 places on that day?”

“Would that be alright with you? If that’s really fine, you can choose from these foundations since they are quite close to each other. We will inform the places right away.” The lead organizer shared a message on the screen and Cayenne took a picture of it.

“Let me check with my husband first. Can you give me five minutes?” Cayenne consulted since this will be crucial to her safety as well and Stefan would be worried if something happens while she was in these places.

The organizers nodded their heads and Cayenne left immediately.

Stefan knew that Cayenne would be coming in and out of the study room so he was already prepared to make sure that she won’t find anything suspicious. He already briefed the people he was talking to and the moment he mentioned Cayenne’s name, everyone kept quiet. Stefan clicked on another tab and hid the zoom meeting behind it. By the time she reached his side, she didn’t see and didn’t hear anyone.

“I’d like to visit two places on the same day of my thanksgiving event. Which places do you think could I maximize my time?”

“I think you can go for Theresa’s Angels and Arc Center for Cancer Patients. If it’s not traffic on that day, you can travel between these places for about half an hour. You can have lunch in the car.”

“Thanks. I’ll go for these.” She gave him a quick kiss on his forehead and left right away. She was just about to close the door behind her when she retracted her steps and peered inside the room. “Do you have plans in the afternoon?”

“Nope.” He said even though he has lots of things to do. He was the man who would always put his wife first before anything else. Even if he has other plans, he can always cancel them and make time for her.

Doubting his answer, Cayenne snorted and waved her phone at him. “I’ll check your schedule with Elena instead. I think she sent me your appointments for this week already. Anyway, I wanted to bring you somewhere later.”

“I really didn’t have anything planned this afternoon.”

“Alright. I’ll come and get you later.”

Knowing his wife, Stefan called Elena before Cayenne could. “Cancel all my appointments this afternoon. Reschedule them for next week.”

Watching him, the people he was having a meeting with could only shake their heads in disbelief. Only his wife can make him change his schedule abruptly.
