She's My Sleeping Pill

"Miss Yen, we sorted out the school supplies that will be given to X Primary School," said one of her employees who were responsible for organizing this event with Jackson's help. "Here's the ledger for this event."

Cayenne pulled herself together since she had other things to do. She focused on her task at the moment and talked with the staff to make sure that everything would go smoothly. She can't afford for any mistake to happen since the funds of her charity foundation came from her pocket and the pockets of many other people.

"That's on Monday, right?" she asked and the staff nodded. "Don't worry. I will be there to see this through."

"Thank you, Ms. Yen. If you need something else, just let me know. I will be in the office to check the rest of my task today."

"Sure. Just go on with your work. I just check the inventory."

Cayenne walked around and talked to each of her employees to check on their tasks and if they needed help with anything. Wherever she went, Nikolai was following her like a tail. She didn't mind about it though.

"Madam, you've been walking around checking things here and there. Do you want to take a rest for a couple of minutes?" Nikolai asked since Stefan reminded him to ensure that his wife won't be overworking herself. "A rest for ten minutes isn't really a big deal."

"You are right," Cayenne agreed because she could hear the underlying meaning to his words. Besides, her bodyguards won't stop her from doing her work unless a certain someone with an overprotective streak commanded them to.

She sat on the couch and opened her social media account again. So far, there were no other videos tagged to her.

She exited the app and opened another website to order food. She rarely visited the warehouse because of her kids and work at home, but whenever she did, she would always treat her employees.

"I bought something," Cayenne told Nikolai without looking raising her head. "Asked another bodyguard to receive the order. I'll reimburse the money to their account right after. It should be here after thirty minutes."

Nikolai nodded and relayed the message to another bodyguard.

At the Dumrique family villa, Julia was looking at the recipe in front of her. Celestine told her to not make enemies with Stefan and Cayenne again for all the things that happened in the past. Her mother said that everything was just a misunderstanding, so now she was trying to make a cake for Cayenne as her peace offering.

"Ma'am Julia, do you need help?" asked the cook that Stefan hired. "I can be your assistant."

"Great! Can you tell me if Cayenne is allergic to anything? I don't want to put something by accident here and cause me to get another earful from my mother."

"I don't think the madam has anything she was allergic to."

"O-okay. Can you help me bake a cake? I'm not really fond of cooking or baking, but I want to try."

The woman happily helped Julia to bake a mango graham cake for Cayenne. It wasn't really Cayenne's favorite, but she liked this cake if there were a lot of mangoes in it. So, the natural fruit makes it a lot more appetizing to her.

In the security room, Elliot watched Julia through the CCTV camera. He observed him carefully and listed the items that she put into the cake mixture. He was worried that Julia would stupidly put something harmful into the cake which might cause them to lose their lives. He didn't want to make enemies with Rey.

Three hours later, when the dessert was a little bit frozen, Julia was pacing back and forth in the living room. She was mentally reciting the words that she wanted to tell Cayenne. Then, she realized that she didn't even have her contact number.

Celestine came down to get some fruits when she saw her daughter walking around restlessly. "What's bothering you?"

Her voice startled Julia for a moment and when she saw who it was, she immediately approached her mother. "Mom, you need to help me."

"About what? What did you do this time? Oh, God! Julia - "

"Wait! Before you say anything else, just hear me out first," she quickly said to make sure that her mother won't say another word to scold her. "You said that everything was a mistake and that we should not take it against Stefan and Cayenne anymore. So, I thought of making a peace offering. I made a mango graham cake, but I don't know where to send them."

"I know where they live, but you have to call them first and let them know that you will be visiting them."

"Do you have their contact number?"

"I have the secretary's contact number. You can call them to ask Stefan personally for you."

"Great. Give me the number."

Celestine felt happy that her daughter had come around to forget everything. She gave Tristan's number to Julia and not even five seconds later, she was already calling the person. "Let me know if you need anything else."

Meanwhile, Tristan was organizing the information that he gathered regarding the woman that Cayenne wanted to know when he received a call from an unknown number. He instantly typed the number into his personalized search engine and the owner popped up. It was Julia Sarmiento.

"Miss Julia, what can I do for you?" Tristan questioned her without bothering to hide the fact that he knew her.

On the other hand, Julia stiffened that Tristan knew her number even though she didn't remember giving it to him. [None of that matters now.] She thought before expressing her purpose for this call. "I hope you can ask my cousin if I can visit them. I just wanted to give his wife a peace offering."

"Oh, no worries. However, the chairman is currently having a meeting with an investor, so it might take a while. I'll get back to you in thirty minutes."

"Great. I'm looking forward to hearing a positive response."

Tristan looked at the screen of his phone as soon as the call ended. Stefan was also looking at him with his arms crossed over his chest and a raised eyebrow that almost touched the ceiling of his office. His assistant just lied in front of him. "Was I really talking to your cousin just now? Was she possessed?"

"She asked if it would be possible for her to visit you and the madam."

"Did she mention where she planned to visit us?"

"Nope."

"Then, twenty minutes later, tell her that Cayenne is not at home right now. Whatever peace offering she had, she can send it here in the office."

"Got it."

Even if Julia was sincere to make peace with Cayenne after all the things that happened, Stefan wouldn't take the risk to let the woman meet with his wife. It didn't matter to him if the said woman was also his cousin.
