She's My Sleeping Pill

794 TWENTY-NINE II

In the meeting, Stefan was obviously inattentive but no one said anything about it. They all trusted Tristan to keep the minutes of this meeting for their chairman to review later. Still, it didn’t stop the employees to gossip about his mood.

“Did the chairman fight with his wife?”

“Isn’t it his birthday today? How come they’re fighting?”

“Normally, the madam would post her greeting in her account but I didn’t find anything today.”

“They must have fought.”

The culprit of making Stefan sad on his birthday was busy answering her exam. She didn’t lie about taking an exam today but she lied about the time. Thankfully, they didn’t have classes in the afternoon today because their professors had to leave for a meeting. They didn’t know what that meeting would be and it didn’t matter to her. What was important was that she didn’t have to be absent again.

“So, you are not joining your husband for lunch?” Faith asked after they took their exam and exchanged their papers. “Won’t he feel sad?”

“I’ll ask someone to send him lunch.”

True to her words, Cayenne ordered some dishes that Stefan likes to eat and asked the restaurant to send it to him at 11:30 AM. When Elena received the order which was for her boss, a smile bloomed on her face. [Ms. Yen can’t resist her husband at all.] She thought to herself and brought the food to Stefan.

.....

“Boss, Ms. Yen bought you some food for lunch.”

Stefan’s sulking face brightened and he immediately stood up to receive the food – can’t wait for Elena to put it down on the table. “When did this come?”

“Just few minutes ago. This was delivered directly from the restaurant. She probably ordered this while having a class.”

“I see. Thank you for receiving the order for me.”

Stefan was happy that Cayenne remembered to buy him his favorite dishes for lunch but it still upsets him that they couldn’t have lunch together when they should be.

Taking a picture of his food, he uploaded it on his social media account, hoping that she would remember something special today.

– I’d rather have my favorite person over my favorite dishes. –

Luiz saw this post and he couldn’t stop himself from laughing. He was eating with Clarisse while his fans surrounded him when he came across Stefan’s post. Hearing his genuine laughter brought smiles to his fans’ faces. No one was better than seeing their idol smile and laugh genuinely.

“Did something good happen?” Clarisse asked after chewing her food because she never like to use her phone when eating. Contrary to her, Luiz always turned on his message, call and social media notifications for anything important. She didn’t mind it though.

Luiz showed her the post from Stefan’s account and grinned. “You know that it is his birthday today, right? My sister decided to play a prank on him.”

“So, that is why you told me not to greet him.”

“Yup.”

Around him, his fans have heard what he said and they immediately searched for Stefan’s name. When they saw his post, they couldn’t help but smile as well. The doting husband was being pranked. Of course, even if they knew, they didn’t dare spoil the plan since it was Luiz’s sister who planned it.

Cayenne saw Stefan’s post as well but she didn’t react on it. Many commenters have mentioned her name but she ignored them and followed up with her plan. She actually thought of greeting him a happy birthday, at least. However, she changed her mind. He loved teasing her before and whenever she retaliates, he would see through her plan and spoil it. Now, she wanted to get back at him. She could only hope that he won’t realize it.

“Madam, we have arrived.” Martin stated when they finally arrived in Clover Hotel. It was the place where everything started for them. That was as far as she could remember. She has no idea that their fate started way before that.

“Yenyen!” Manager Kim greeted and hugged her when she came inside. “I’m glad that you arrive safely. We have prepared all the decorations and the food ingredients. They will start cooking at 4:00 PM as you have instructed. Manager Dan is off from work until tomorrow but he promised he would come to help. The other managers will be taking over the hotel’s management for today.”

“That’s great. Thank you so much for your help, Manager Kim. Did you make sure that he won’t come for inspection today?”

“Of course. I checked it twice and inspection is scheduled next week.”

“I see. Let’s go upstairs and start.”

Noah and Faith were accustomed to Manager Kim already since they have met her several times through Cayenne and Stefan and they could see that she was really capable as a manager. She cares for her staff as well which was the reason that Cayenne was fond of her.

“Yenyen, don’t give Stefan a reason to kill me.” Noah commented as he pulled her to stop. “You didn’t eat lunch yet.”

“Oopsie! I was so excited I forgot to eat.”

Martin was happy that Noah reminded Cayenne about it because he would have done it in five minutes if Noah didn’t. He always set an alarm for Cayenne’s meal and medication to make sure that she wouldn’t miss taking them and it would have rung in five minutes.

“There are many people inside the restaurant. Let’s have lunch inside the suite.”

“Then, let me take your order first. I’ll have someone send it to your room later.” Manager Kim offered since she was there with them anyway. “Just send me a message once you’re done with your meal later. I’ll help the staff while waiting.”

“Are you sure? Aren’t we a bother?”

“In the past, today and in the future, you will never be a bother to us. Mona was very excited when she heard that you are coming today. She said she will come early for her shift so that she can chat with you.”

“Tell her to message me when she arrives. Ah! No never mind. Stefan has my phone today. You can just tell her to come to the rooftop directly.” Then, she shifted her attention to Noah and Faith who was chatting beside her as well. “How about pizza for lunch?”

“Uhh...you will eat pizza with us? It’s unhealthy for you. Stefan will get mad if he knows.”

“I’ll have a little. Don’t worry the chef knew what to serve me. He has a ton of recipe list from Stefan.”
