She's My Sleeping Pill

Julia and Celestine returned to the Dumrique family villa where they used to live before they got kicked out of the house.

Celestine didn't have any issues with Stefan's arrangement when it came to the butler and the helper. In fact, she was grateful to him because the butler was still the same man who took care of them before leaving the country for Italy.

Though, it was quite different for Julia.

She thought that the butler and the helpers were Stefan's spies and she didn't want them around her. She was afraid that Stefan would use these people to hurt her. She would rather hire her own employees that she could trust.

Unfortunately, Celestine ignored her idea. The house was not given by Stefan to them. They were only told to come home which only meant that, they weren't the masters of the house. They were not even the ones paying for them.

"Julia, I told you that we don't need to make enemies with them!" Celestine exclaimed in annoyance to her daughter. "Why can't you understand my words? I already explained the reason. Before you regret doing something you should not, then I'm telling you to clear your mind from those thoughts. Stefan has done something that your grandpa and uncle couldn't.

We should be thankful to him instead of being greedy. Let's not forget that he gave you the property in Tuscany."

"Fine! I won't do anything reckless," Julia said in agreement. "I will follow whatever you have in mind."

Celestine stared at her daughter for a little while before nodding her head. She was not sure if Julia had given up on taking revenge already or if she was just pretending in front of her, but the good thing was that she could monitor her own daughter to make sure she won't harm Stefan and his family.

Even though they weren't even able to execute half of their plans, they already caused a huge damage and that was something that Celestine felt guilty about.

Every single night when she closed her eyes, she would see her brother's faint smile, and she would remember the plan that she cooked up for him – to kill him.

She was already fortunate enough that Magnus died from a natural disaster, if not, she could not even imagine her own doom.

Three days later, Cayenne went to her foundation's headquarters to check on her staff. She already knew the latest events within her foundation since Jackson kept her updated in everything. With Jackson around, she had nothing to worry about.

Her only problem was looking for someone who can replace Kyle. He passed the licensure examination for teacher not long ago and he wanted to pursue his teaching career. It had been his dream since he was young and Cayenne wouldn't be someone who would hinder her brother's dream.

"I'll go upstairs to talk to Tristan about something," Cayenne told Jackson before picking up her coat. "Let me know if you encounter any problems. Also, regarding the charity ball that I need to attend two weeks from now, I'll let Luiz handle that matter for me. He should explain everything later."

"Understood, Ms. Yen."

Cayenne just nodded her head and left right away. Her bodyguards were surrounding her to make sure that she won't make any contact with anyone.

Her bodyguards looked intimidating, especially Nikolai, but whenever Cayenne sees an employee, she would greet them with a smile. Her lovely smile somehow negated the scary aura around her bodyguards.

When she arrived at her husband's office, Elena was arguing with Tristan about something. Elena was glaring at her boyfriend while the latter scratched the back of his head helplessly.

"If there's a problem, try to solve it amicably," Cayenne said when she passed by them. "Is my husband busy?"

"He's having a meeting with the department heads for the St. Martin Plaza project," Elena answered and sighed. "Sorry, you'd have to witness us like that."

"Well, if Stefan is having a meeting, why are you two here?"

"I came out because he wanted me to get something from his office," Elena began to explain. "I was just about to go back when I heard Tristan – anyway, it would be better if he explains it to you himself. I'll go back to the meeting now," she said and left immediately just right after stomping on Tristan's foot.

The latter was jumping on one foot because of the pain, but he could do nothing about it since she was his girlfriend.

"Don't tell Stefan that I'm here!" Cayenne reminded Elene before she could open the door to the conference room. The beautiful secretary gave her an 'OK' sign and went it. "So, what made you guys fight?"

Tristan sighed and shrugged his shoulder. "Come inside my office. I'll show you something."

Cayenne followed Tristan to his office, and since he kept a lot of confidential files inside his room, Nikolai told the bodyguards to stay one meter away from the door.

Since Nikolai needed to keep her within his line of sight, Cayenne didn't bother to close the office. She sat on the swivel chair while Tristan pulled another chair to use. "I contacted Julia and Celestine three days ago, right?

I noticed something strange with Rey." Cayenne raised her eyebrow instinctively but she remained silent because she didn't want to judge anyone without getting her facts straight. "He was talking to Celestine's bodyguard which I found out was also her secretary when she was still working. His name is Elliot. So, when I came back, I secretly investigated them.

It turned out, Elliot was Rey's partner before Chris hired him as your guard."

"Do you think Rey would betray us?" Cayenne asked her main concern after all the things that Tristan told her. "I'm worried."

"Well, I can't really say for sure. I can only secretly monitor him for you and see if he would do something that would put you or anyone you love in harm's way."

"Thank you, Tristan. I will leave that matter to you, but can you not tell Stefan about this for now? I'd like to talk to him regarding this matter."

"Sure. I can keep this matter a secret."

"Great. Now, let me talk to you about my personal request."

"What is it?"

Cayenne pulled out a picture from her wallet and handed it to him. "She's giving me a lot of trouble recently."

Now it was Tristan's turn to raise his eyebrow. He never thought that Cayenne would have this kind of problem given that she wasn't a celebrity. "You didn't tell sir Stefan about this?"

"He's got so much on his plate already. I didn't want to cause him trouble, but I'm planning to tell him about this tonight."

"I agree. You should do that before he turned into a beast and massacred this woman with a lawsuit."

Cayenne smiled faintly before standing up from her seat. "I hope to hear from you soon. Anyway, I'll go and check the warehouse first. Tell Stefan that I'd be coming over for lunch."

"Yes, lady boss!" Tristan said and even gave her a sincere salute. Cayenne chuckled at his response before leaving his office. She needed to do her work as well.

Not wasting another second, she went down the building to check the foundation warehouse which could be found at the back of Clover Company. She was walking silently in the middle of her group of bodyguards when Nikolai stopped her.

"What's the matter?" Cayenne asked Nikolai when the man suddenly stopped her from taking another step forward.

"I saw someone very familiar. To make sure that everything's fine, I'll ask someone to look into this matter. We cannot be complacent."

Cayenne didn't doubt his words for even a second. She had no idea who he was looking at, but she knew that Nikolai was only thinking about her safety, so she didn't mind his action at all. "You can tell Tristan about it later."
