She's My Sleeping Pill

“Good morning, Ms. Yen.” Elena greeted when she saw her come out of the elevator.

“Good morning, Elena. Where is Stefan? I didn’t tell him that I’d be here today.”

“He’s having a meeting with an overseas manufacturer. He should be done soon. Do you want to wait inside his office? Oh, your secretary went out with Tristan to check the warehouse. They will be back soon.”

“Got it. Can I have a glass of water? I’m thirsty.”

“Right on it. Give me a sec.”

Elena just left Cayenne to get inside Stefan’s room and she went to the mini kitchen to get a glass of water. She was really happy to see Cayenne in the office again. Ever since she got pregnant, she rarely sees her in the office.

When Elena returned to Stefan’s office, she found Cayenne sleeping soundly on the couch. She blinked her eyes several times to check if she was just seeing thing. Not long ago, she asked for a glass of water and now, she was sleeping. [I’ll just leave the water here.] She told herself and placed the glass of water on the coffee table. She looked around the office to find something she could use to cover the lady boss but she couldn’t find anything. She didn’t want to get inside Stefan’s adjacent room either.

“Well, I’ll bet on the fact that he spoils her.” She muttered and left to find Stefan in the meeting room. He was busy talking to the person on the other side of the screen, but when he noticed that someone has entered the room, he looked up to see who it was. He knew that Elena and Tristan won’t disturb him if it wasn’t for anything urgent. “Give me a sec Solomon.”

.....

“Sure thing.” the man said and Stefan stood up to see what Elena wanted from him. Not ten second later, the man saw Stefan back in front of the camera and his surrounding seemed to shake. “Did something happen?”

“My wife is here and I need to check on her. Let’s continue to meeting in my office instead. I’d be able to guard her while we discuss something.”

“I could never imagine myself being a wife-slave. Must be very tiring.”

“Not at all. I enjoy doing everything for my wife.”

“I didn’t know you are a masochist.”

“I just discovered it when I met her.” Even when he was walking back to his office, the two of them continued to chat and Stefan only lowered his voice when he saw her sleeping on the couch. “I’ll just move her to my room.”

“Go ahead, Mr. Wife-slave.”

“I’m enjoying every moment being her slave and you won’t understand this feeling because you are single.”

“Oh, shut up. Just go away already.”

Stefan grinned mischievously and moved away from the camera once again to take care of Cayenne first. He carried her off to the adjacent room and helped her sleep in a comfortable position without risking the baby. After adjusting the room temperature, he kissed her forehead and went back to work. Nothing beats having his wife close to him.

“It’s ironic how your father trusted your family business to you when you don’t have a child.”

“I don’t need a child to understand business management.”

“But your business focuses on producing items for infants and children ages from 1 to 12, right?”

“Don’t underestimate my knowledge when it comes to children. I am the best uncle that my nieces and nephews have.”

“Anyway, I am looking forward to our cooperation. I saw the things you made for Raizel and Jade. I am hoping to get something that wouldn’t harm my child as well. Cayenne will be disheartened if something bad happens to our child.”

“It all boils down to your wife’s emotional welfare.”

“Of course. I love her more than anyone else.”

“They said it would change once you have a child.”

“Not for me.”

Solomon could only shake his head helplessly at this man who devotes his whole being for his wife and wife alone. He was doing everything because he didn’t want her to have problems. “I’ll ask my team to prepare the materials, just let me know the gender of the child and the design that you like. How many weeks is she pregnant now?”

“She’s on her 15th week.”

“You should be able to tell the gender already.”

“Ayen said she would only check the gender once she’s at her 24th week. We already have the room so; you can ask someone to come and get the measurement of the place.”

“Alright. I’ll ask you additional fees to add manpower if there’s a time constraint.”

“No, problem.”

Stefan had no idea that Solomon wouldn’t just have a problem with the time, but he will have issues with the materials as well. The reason? Well, they took their time to do the ultrasound to get the baby’s gender thus; they would be all in for a surprise nine weeks later.

That’s a story for later since they have something else that they needed to do at this moment. She was supposed to do a vlog with the first person on the list that Tristan gave her. In that way, she’d be able to upload another video on her vlogging account and at the same time, help someone. That’s hitting two birds with one stone and this brilliant idea came from Luiz. He was worried that Cayenne would tire herself with so many things and it would be risky now that she got pregnant. Thankfully, his brain worked quickly and led him to this idea.

Unfortunately, they’d have to delay the recording because Cayenne was still sleeping. Disturb her and you will face the wrath of her husband.

Inside the warehouse, the staffs were working with Kyle and they couldn’t help but talk about Cayenne and Stefan’s relationship. “I want someone who will dote on me, too. Where can I find a man like that?”

“If you stop watching anime and start going out to explore the real world, perhaps, you would find someone who will value you.”

“Why are you bringing my anime into this conversation? They didn’t do anything.”

“They’re the reason why you are single.”

“I love every single one of them.”

“Then, stop thinking of finding a man who will dote on you like sir Stefan. You will only find men on your phone screen.”

When Cayenne’s soon-to-be secretary passed by them, he could only shake his head. He had this kind of conversation with his friend before because he loves to stay inside his room and just play computer games and read manga. When he wanted to have a girlfriend, it was his friend who told him to go out and explore the real world.

“I wish he’s still alive. He’s probably meant for this other woman who share the same view as him.”
