She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 383 - HER MISSION BEGAN

Around seven in the morning, Cayenne woke up first and wanted to get out of bed to start her day but Stefan pulled him back to bed. "Let\'s stay here a little bit more."

"No, honey. I have to make breakfast."

"Let\'s make it together."

"No, we can\'t. We\'ll start our mission now. While I\'m making breakfast, you\'re not allowed to come out and find me. You have to stay here, okay?"

"Can I stay in the living room? At least, I can hear the sounds coming from the kitchen."

"Okay. I don\'t mind."

The two of them got out of bed and went to wash their faces together and brush their teeth. After changing their clothes, they both went downstairs. Stefan was holding his phone and laptop while Cayenne only brought her phone with her.

Just like he said, he stayed in the living room. He read the message from Chris and after sending him a congratulatory message, he called the director of YES mags to talk about the contract that Kyle and Luiz got.

It turned out that the students were already popular among girls in colleges and universities, even in high schools. They thought that they\'d give them higher remuneration compared to other starters. Although that was what they said, Stefan wasn\'t convinced at all. But he didn\'t say anything against the director. He only reminded him to keep the two men safe while they\'re in his care.

After few minutes, Stefan put down his phone and was about to look for Cayenne but he remembered what she said to him. And when he checked his phone, it wasn\'t even five minutes yet since she went to the kitchen.

"I got it." He grinned to himself and walked to the kitchen. Before reaching, he schooled back his expression and turned serious.

Cayenne paused from breaking the eggs and looked at her husband. "Why are you here? It\'s not even five minutes since I left you in the living room?" She really wanted to laugh from helplessness but she kept a straight face in front of him.

"I\'m getting a cup of coffee." Stefan answered. He took out the mug that the students gave him with his name written on it. He liked this mug a lot because it has a picture of him and Cayenne. He brewed himself a coffee while observing her from time to time. "Do you need help?"

"Nope. I\'m fine here." She just said it but Jonas came down and went to kitchen as well.

"Is there anything that I can help?" Jonas asked and she said yes to him. The father-daughter pair worked harmoniously in the kitchen, ignoring Stefan on the side.

"Once you\'re done with that, you have to go back to the living room." Cayenne told him and even gave him a playful wink.

"You\'re surely enjoying this little torture plan you have." Stefan muttered as he poured the coffee in his mug. "I\'ll make you pay for this."

Cayenne just stuck out her tongue at him and laughed while working with her father in the kitchen. Stefan went back to the kitchen and continued working.

Erwin came inside from the back garden and saw Stefan sitting in the living room all by himself. "Young madam was really serious with her words? I thought she was just messing with you."

"Well, it looks like she isn\'t." Stefan sighed as he put down his mug on the coffee table. "By the way, someone will come today to apply as our chef. You and Jonas can test her out."

"Sure. No problem." Erwin went to the kitchen as well to see if there\'s anything he can help but Jonas and Cayenne told him to just relax and wait. In the end, he went out of the house to chat with the other guards who were on shift that time.

Ten minutes later, Luiz came down as well with Kyle and sat in the living room with Stefan. "Morning brother-in-law." Luiz greeted him while rubbing his eyes.

"Morning. Did you guys sleep well?"

"Yeah."

"I thought you wouldn\'t be able to sleep from so much excitement." Stefan commented while stealing glances from the direction of the kitchen. He sighed once again while thinking of ways to see his wife.

"Is Yen cooking this time?" Kyle asked when he noticed his restlessness. "She\'s really serious this time, huh." Stefan could only nod his head with sadness clouding over his face. "You don\'t really have to worry this much. Being away from her because she needs to study is fine. I mean, it\'s not like she\'s leaving you forever. At the end of the day, she\'d still come home in your arms."

"But I want to see her every moment of the day. I always worry that something bad will happen to her."

"She\'ll be fine." Kyle reassured him once more but it isn\'t that easy to get rid of the anxiety that Stefan has for Cayenne.

Not fifteen minutes later, he stood up from the couch and went to the kitchen. Kyle and Luiz sighed in helplessness. They never thought that Stefan would become this clingy to their sister. He must have been really frightened when she was attacked by Arthur, someone that Cayenne trusted for several years.

Cayenne saw Stefan standing in the middle of the kitchen once again and she couldn\'t stop herself from rolling her eyes. "What is it this time?"

Stefan looked at her and then looked at the basket of fruits on the table. "I\'m getting an apple. Do you want some?"

"No, I\'ll have it later." She watched Stefan wash the apple and left the kitchen on his own. "What exactly should I do to rid his anxiety?"

Jonas looked at his stepdaughter and smiled at her. "You won\'t be able to do it so easily. Stefan had seen you several time in pain and it must have caused some trauma in him. Just take it slow and prove to him that everything will be alright."

Ten minutes later, Stefan came again and took another apple from the basket.

Five minutes after his last time to check on her, he came back again and took some cucumbers from the fridge. He munched on it on his way out of the kitchen.

Until he decided to check on her in between three minutes. He would only take a peek at her and come to his seat. Seeing him do things like this, Luiz and Kyle couldn\'t stop themselves from chuckling.

\'He\'s hopeless.\' Both of them thought with their head shaking from side to side.
