She's My Sleeping Pill

A few days ago, someone installed a camera in her room for monitoring purposes and Cayenne can cover it when it wasn’t time for class. Thankfully, it wasn’t something that could record sounds. Else, they’d hear something unnecessary between a husband and wife. Perhaps, the university took that into account already which was why they asked someone to install an ordinary camera to monitor her.

Jackson posted something in his account and tagged Cayenne and Stefan on his post which caused quite a stir on the internet. Many people left comments, shared the post, and even mentioned some other people’s names there. Of course, with Stefan’s reputation of prioritizing his employees over his business, a lot of people would want to work for him or his wife. The problem was that the competition was fierce.

Cayenne was looking for a videographer, a video editor, a soul searcher as she called it which was basically just finding the people who needed her help and determining if the person’s claim was legit to receive her help, and a makeup artist.

The post was shared so many times and was commented on hundreds of times in a second that the server crashed. It was so surprising since Cayenne wasn’t even an international celebrity.

“Don’t worry about it,” Stefan said over the phone when Jackson called Cayenne. Well, he was supposed to talk to Cayenne but she was having a class so Stefan answered the call for her. “I will let the recruitment department handle the applicants. In any case, Cayenne’s foundation is located in my company and those people will be accessing my company as well.”

“Thank you, sir. I’ll be there during the hiring process as well.”

“Sure. That would be great.”

Three days later...

.....

The sun wasn’t even showing up yet but a lot of people were lining up in front of Stefan’s company building. They were all coming to apply for the position that Cayenne was looking for. They were all excited and happy at the same time since they will be meeting her and there will be a high chance that they would get to spend time with her brothers since they will be working for him.

Unbeknownst to them, Stefan has other plans. He would not allow people with ulterior motives to come in contact with his wife and their family.

Around 7:30 A.M., Erwin, Luiz, and Kyle came together, and meet with Kai, who volunteered to help in screening the applicants for Cayenne’s video editor as well as videographer. The four of them decided that they would only hire one person to do these two tasks since it will be easier for the editor to find angles that would make the video look enticing to the audience. Stefan also sent someone from the recruitment department to accompany them in the screening. They stayed in a separate rooms to make sure that the selection will be smooth.

In another room, David and Riley came to help in selecting Cayenne’s makeup artist. Not only were they looking for someone who was skillful with cosmetics but someone who are good at dealing with children. With Cayenne’s attitude toward work and family, there will be a high chance that she will bring her children to work. If her makeup artist was someone who hates children, it will be troublesome once children start crying. Of course, Stefan also asked someone from the recruitment department to accompany the two of them.

In the third room, Jackson was sitting comfortably with his crossed legs. He looked stunning with his hair being combed back with some strands messily hanging on his forehead. His eyeglasses were clear and there was that cold expression on his face which made him feel tired of wearing. Stefan told him to look strict for this interview. In addition, the one who accompanies him was the head of the recruitment department.

“Shall we start the interview? I already told the other staff to separate the applicants.” Sonia Franchesca, his company for this interview asked. “I already received the qualifications in hiring the soul searcher as the madam called it. To make sure that we’ll have a thorough selection, we also hired psychologists who will be monitoring the whole interview. I informed the others about this already.”

“Is this how it works every time you hire people?”

“Not really,” she said as she sat on the chair next to him. “We’re only doing this on special cases, like hiring someone to work for the Madam.”

Jackson only made an ‘oh’ sound and nothing else. He didn’t know that he also went through the same process when he applied to become Cayenne’s secretary and assistant. After all, it was an internal procedure.

The woman pressed the Bluetooth earphone and told the people outside to start letting the applicants in.

Although it was just an interview for Cayenne to form a small team for her vlogging work, Stefan made sure that everyone will be catered to properly. There were refreshments ready for the applicants, coffee, milk, tea, or whatever drink of their choice. At the same time, he asked some security guards to man the area and make sure that no accident would happen. At the end of the day, it was his company and his reputation was at stake at this moment as well.

Those people who applied to become a videographer and editors were told to bring a sample of raw footage of their videos and another sample of the video after it was edited. While Kai and Luiz watch their work, Erwin and Kyle were responsible for interviewing the applicant. On the other hand, the woman from the recruitment department was taking down notes that the psychologist has observed from the applicant.

In the second room, the applicants for Cayenne’s makeup artist were told to go in groups of five. It was also a way to measure how well they could handle pressure from having other people look at their work. As soon as the applicants came inside, five models came in as well. They were told to do sample makeup on the model but not five minutes later, a child came inside and ran toward Riley. Of course, it was a child that they borrowed from the employees to act naughty and willful during the interview.

The moment the boy came inside, he was shouting and some of the applicants messed up. Others even cursed under their breath.

“You have five minutes more,” Riley said with a faint smile on her lips, as if she was encouraging them but deep inside her heart, she wanted them out of her sight. She grew up under Jillyanna’s tutelage ever since she was thirteen and she knew how to read expressions. She hates people who hate children the most. They were her archenemies because along with her twin and Shein, she was abandoned in the streets and saw people looking at them in disgust.

David stood up and clapped his hands thrice. “Time’s up, ladies. Thank you for taking the time to come. We will call you after we talk over the result,” he said which could be interpreted as ‘don’t bother continuing, you aren’t hired’.

The first group went out dejected without even knowing why they weren’t hired. There wasn’t even any sort of interviews.

The only normal interview that went on was in the third room. Jackson and Sonia were asking the applicants questions before giving them a sheet of paper. There was another question written on the sheet of paper with 20 choices and they can choose 4 answers as the maximum. It was a personality test that will be checked by the psychologist later on. This time, when they said they would call you or send you a text message, they really meant it.
