She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 398 - THE EVIL BOSS AND KIND LADY BOSS

Joel trembled as soon as he saw what was on the documents. He wanted to say something to deny it but he knew it would be pointless because Stefan didn't like talking about reasons but results, instead. In the end, he could do nothing but bow his head and apologized to him.

"I'm sorry for this mistake, sir."

"If I signed for these documents, I would lose money because of your carelessness. It might not be a lot compared to all the riches I have but every penny counts for me. This excess amount will be a huge help to those less fortunate."

"I'm really sorry, sir. I will redo this work now and double check the information."

"You don't need to do that. Just copy what my wife calculated. It will save you time to redo everything." Stefan mentioned, not forgetting to give the credit to his lovely wife but Cayenne didn't care about it at all. "I entrusted this project to you because you've been doing great recently and that's the reason why you were promoted to take your current position and accept this kind of projects. Am I wrong to have approved of your promotion? Did you just do a good job for the sake of getting promoted?"

"Why don't you just say what's on your mind?" Cayenne spoke while looking towards the young employee. "Looking at your expression, it seemed you are really clueless of this mistake." Joel looked towards Cayenne but he immediately looked away without saying anything. "We won't be able to help you solve your problem."

"How did you know?" Joel looked back to the pretty boss in front of him and his eyes went from worried to surprised. "I didn't even say anything."

Cayenne chuckled and placed the magazine she was reading on the table. "I was once an employee like you and because I'm always diligent at work, it can't be helped that people get jealous of you. I wasn't even promoted but I attracted a lot of enemies before. How much more that you've been promoted rapidly in just a span of two years. I'm sure that many people won't like you in your current position."

If Stefan wasn't planning to uphold his serious expression right now, he would surely give his wife a loud applause. Few words and little clues helped her analyze things that other people might not think of.

Joel pursed his lips and refused to say anything once again. He was really ready to shoulder the blame.

"Why don't we go to your office now and take a look at your computer?" Cayenne suggested which made Joel gave up. Whether he says it now or not, they will still find the truth because the lady boss would surely insist on doing it. Cayenne was ready to stand from her seat when Joel spoke.

"I was sure I didn't make mistake on this." It was just one statement but his expression showed that he was sure and determined to let them know the truth and believe him.

"This isn't the first time, right?" Cayenne asked. She wanted to believe in him because she experienced the same thing but if she found out that he's lying, she'll make sure that he'd be banned from all companies.

Joel recalled what he had experienced ever since he got promoted. Most employees spent three to fiver years before they'd be promoted and gets the chance to work on a multi-million-worth of project but in his case, because of his excellent performance, he was promoted after two years of work and Stefan approved it. Then, two months after his promotion, he was given this big project that everyone was dreaming of having. It's because once a project becomes successful, the employee who took part in this project will get a big bonus.

Joel was framed to take this heavy responsibility with the chances of getting fired.

Stefan clicked his tongue and Cayenne knew that it wasn't a good thing. "Don't worry about this." Cayenne told the young man and smiled faintly at him. "You can go back to work now and just pretend that nothing happened. My husband doesn't tolerate dishonest people and those who harms their colleagues. Rest assured, you won't be punished for this. Do your best."

"Yes, ma'am. Thank you so much." He bowed his head several times in front of Cayenne and turned to Stefan right after, doing the same thing as well.

"You may go now." Stefan pressed the button under his desk and the door was unlocked.

Chris also came in and handed him another folder. "These are the things that Shein found." He put the folder on Stefan's desk and looked back to the retreating back of the young man. "Such a young person. If this won't be dealt with accordingly, his future will be ruined."

At six, Stefan and Cayenne left the company together with Chris but the went on separate ways after getting down to the basement. Elena was the only one who doesn't work over time with them since she's still an assistant and Chris didn't want to over work her.

"Don't you think it's time for Elena to be trained to handle Chris' work assignments?" Cayenne asked her husband when they got inside the car.

"Chris will deal with everything once he finalized all the things he needed to settle before going back to the military."

"I hope he won't be sent to dangerous missions."

"Sweetheart, as long as you are from the military forces, you will surely encounter different kinds of danger along the way. And I am sure that Chris and Rissy are both aware of that."

Cayenne didn't say anything anymore because she knew that he was only telling her facts. She thought of other things and remembered Luiz will be taking the examination for Trine Elite University the next day. She closed her eyes and silently prayed for his brother's success. He always liked this university but his previous scholarship didn't cater to this school. Now, he was finally given the chance to go to this university and Cayenne was looking forward to it. She's not really putting pressure on them but she'd be very happy if they'd do their best all the time.

"I know what to do." Cayenne blurted out and looked happily towards Stefan. "I'll accompany Luiz to Trine tomorrow while you stay at home. Ahh!" Stefan stepped on the brake accidentally with her words. "Why did you step on the brake? Is there anything wrong?" She looked on the road ahead to see if there's anything that he hit but there was nothing.

Stefan looked at her and sighed helplessly. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry while watching his wife pretending to be clueless of his sudden brake.
