She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 4 - SLEEP WITH ME

Cayenne blinked her eyes at him but Stefan only smiled and left. Chris, the all-around-man, also smiled at her and left. Cayenne was left on her spot with a stunned expression. Mona elbowed her which brought her back to reality. "Tell me honestly, what is your relationship with the boss?"

"Huh? What relationship?" Cayenne was also confused. She had no idea what Mona was talking about.

"Of all the employees, you are the only one who get the special treatment of choosing your own shift. The boss often smiles at you. Now, he gave you a cup of expensive coffee, too. What exactly is your relationship with him?" Realizing that she was actually prying on someone else's privacy, Mona instantly apologized. "It's fine if you won't say it. I am sorry. It was rude of me to invade your privacy."

"Wait. Wait. Hold your horses." Cayenne put down the coffee and looked at her colleague. "Mona, I don't have any relationship with the boss. I don't know why he gave me this coffee, too."

"Then, maybe the boss likes you?"

"Oh god! Seriously?! Stop dreaming. How could a man like him likes a woman like myself? I am not delusional, alright."

"You are right. Besides, the boss likes to date whoever he likes. Be careful of your heart, he must be just playing with you." Mona reminded as a friend.

"You are right. He must have thought that I would just agree since I am his employee. Don't worry, I don't have time for relationships. My family is more important than any other man." Cayenne firmly responded. Stefan's reputation was known to everyone in the whole city. He changed women just as quick as he changed his underwear. Thus, Cayenne put her guard up against him.

Looking back at the coffee that she received, she didn't know if she should drink it or throw it. What if he would ask for payment? Where will she get the money to pay for such an expensive coffee? She was torn between drinking or leaving the coffee on its own. In the end, she still drank it without any care. 'I'll just think of a way to pay him back."

Stefan on the other hand was nonchalant about it. Since he made her drunk last night, he wanted to repay her and only a cup of coffee came into mind since she will be working during night time once again.

"Should I call for her, sir?" Chris asked since he already knew what use would Cayenne be in Stefan's life.

"You don't have to. Is there any other schedule for me tonight?" Stefan asked to make sure that they didn't forget anything.

"None sir."

"Alright. You are good to go. I will take everything from here."

"Goodnight, sir." Chris excused himself and leave Stefan alone. When he passed by Cayenne's post, he didn't forget to give her a smile. In any case, if Stefan would be successful, they would be acquainted soon.

Cayenne returned the smile, however, she looked rather stiff compared to Chris who smiled genuinely at her. Why wouldn't she become stiff? She didn't even know why he was smiling at her.

Midnight had passed and Cayenne was currently having a break when Manager Dan came to look for her again. "I'm sorry, Yen. The boss is looking for you again." The man whispered softly to her. Though he was a man, he was more feminine than Cayenne. "If the boss does anything to you, let me know, okay? I will not tolerate any violation on human rights. Even if the boss is my crush, I will fight him if he will do something to the employees here."

Cayenne just chuckled hearing her manager spout nonsense again. "That's fine. I will let you know if anything happens."

"Alright. Hurry up and go." Manager Dan gave her a little push but Cayenne stopped on her track and looked back at him. "Is there anything you want to say?"

"He didn't ask for anything? Like wine or food?"

"No. He only wanted to see you."

Cayenne's heart was beating loudly and she could hear the loud pound on her ears. Every step she took would make her gasp and tremble lightly. 'Lord, please don't let him ask me for any payment of that coffee. Please don't let him fire me. Please enlighten him that I need this money. Please help me.'

She was silently praying while waiting for the elevator to arrive at her destination. 'DING!' when the elevator stopped, she thought her heart stopped beating as well. She wasn't afraid of him personally but she was afraid of him as her boss. She knew that in a single snap of his fingers, she would lose her job.

She pressed the doorbell and waited for the man to open it. When Stefan opened the door, she was startled and stared at him silently. "Come in." Stefan opened the door widely and gestured for her to get inside. Cayenne got inside and stood in the middle of the room. "What are you doing standing there? Have a seat."

Cayenne sat on the couch opposite him and fiddled with her fingers. Stefan looked at her intently and she was getting anxious under his intense gaze. "Sir, is there anything you wanted to tell me?"

"Hn. I do." He stood up and walked back 'n forth in front of her. "It's about last night."

Cayenne stiffened on her seat and waited for his next words but he stopped talking as he took a piece of paper on his bedside drawer. She took this chance to speak and fight for herself. "Sir, I don't know if I did something wrong last night. At the same time, I realized that you let me sleep last night. I am really sorry for what happened sir. Also, for the coffee, you can deduct the money from my salary. Can you not fire me? I really need this work." She plead with her clasp hands, she even wanted to kneel in front of him.

Stefan looked at her, amused and interested with her personality. After hearing her piece of mind, he laughed at her faintly while giving her the paper. "I am not planning to fire you. In fact, I have a proposal."

Cayenne read the written words on the paper and as time went by, her expression darkened. "Sir, what do you mean with this?"

"I want you to sleep with me."
