She's My Sleeping Pill

"Is his injury or illness so grave that his management didn't release any news of this before?" expressed another reporter who came to judge Cayenne and Stefan for their crime.

"Personally, I think there's more to this than what they're showing us..."

As their buzzing whispers grew louder, Steve started talking on the screen. "Hello. This is Steve Schwargarian. I'm sorry for causing trouble to everyone, and I'm deeply sorry toward Mr. Stefan Dumrique and to his beloved wife, Cayenne Dumrique. I didn't know that my untimely hospitalization caused them to get involved in a nasty rumor."

Of course, part of this was false, but only a few people knew the truth and they didn't have any intention of telling the truth.

"It's true that my girlfriend is a fan of Mrs. Dumrique. Before she started vlogging, my girlfriend had been following Mrs. Dumrique's brother, Luiz. My girlfriend is a model, and she has eyes for those people who would, one day for sure, make it big in the same industry as her. It's not that I'm entirely ignorant of Mrs.

Dumrique's fame, but I don't pay attention to other women."

"Excuse me," said one of the reporters with her raised hand, "is this a recorded statement or are we on live? Can we ask questions to Mr. Schwargarian?"

"Yes, you may. This is a live conference with him," Gracielle answered and the moment she said that all the reporters around started raising their hands. They all have questions that need immediate answers.

Reporter 1: "Is it true that your girlfriend is the international model Assia Kloss?"

"Yes," answered Steve without any extra word of explanation.

Reporter 2: "There are some speculations out there that your girlfriend is the missing princess of King George Plantagenet of D Country. Though she's well-known, there isn't much information on the internet about her life except for her work. Are you keeping it a secret that she's the princess?"

"We've been together for as long as I can remember, and I have never heard of her being some country's princess," he said knowing that Athalie's life would be in danger should he confirm it in public, and he's not worried about her family divulging the truth because they care about their reputation than what Athalie likes.

They would never admit that their country's princess was working as a model to entertain people of different races and caliber.

Finally, someone asked this question.

Steve had prepared himself for this question as well. "Everyone knows that I'm into skiing. A few weeks ago, after announcing our relationship to the world, we went to Japan for skiing. I had an accident and had to undergo surgery. I didn't want my management to tell the world about it, making reporters come over and disturb my post-operation rest.

I had no idea that I dragged someone else into my mess."

Reporter 4: "Then what about the mobilization of the law enforcement? The rumor blew up and many people thought you were killed. Why didn't you tell your family?"

"I don't have a hold on people's imagination," Steve answered which implies that it was not his fault that people were imagining things just from a simple gift giving on a live stream. "Also, I told my parents to never believe any rumors online unless my management contacted them about it.

However, they had no idea that I went to Japan so, there was no way they could tell any relevant information to the police. Again, I am really sorry for causing such a huge commotion."

Reporter 5: "Then, I have a question to Mr. And Mrs. Dumrique. Why did you wait until today to make this conference?"

Hearing this question, Cayenne almost rolled her eyes at them. "We reached out to Mr. Schwargarian's management to find out what was going on and that they told us about his situation. We didn't want to make things worse, so we played it be ear."

"I knew it! There's no way Cayenne would cheat on Stefan," exclaimed one of her fans that made people look toward her. Her voice was so loud that it reached the ears of everyone inside the hall. It was even captured by one of the microphones near her, allowing Steve to hear her outburst.

Steve laughed out loud from her outburst. Cayenne followed suit with Stefan giving the little lady a thumbs up.

The fan covered her face with her hands in embarrassment while her friends teased her on the side. She didn't mean for her voice to be loud, but it just so happened that the hall went silent when she spoke, amplifying her words.

With Steve's statement, he made it appear that Cayenne had a big heart to endure the accusations thrown at her. He diverted everyone's attention to him, admitting to his flaws and lapses.

To top it all, he even donated two of his watches to Cayenne's charity, and these watches were worth more than a hundred dollars. It shocked everyone around and they all looked at Cayenne with envy. She may not necessarily benefit from the money it would convert into, but being recognized by the actor would bring her more connections in the future.

"Now that we have clarified everything else, I hope you will make it clear to the people who follow your daily news," Gracielle stated while giving everyone a fierce glare. "If we find that anyone is falsifying their reports, I'll have you know that our lawyer is very diligent with his work."

The conference lasted for an hour with reporters asking Cayenne about her future work and the things that she's busy with. Of course, the reporters who wronged her gave their apologies as well. After all, they didn't want Stefan to hound them.

One after another, people left the venue and knowing that she had fans who came to support her, Cayenne didn't forget to ask the staff to give them some drinks and desserts. It was the least she could do to thank them.
