She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 483 - NO BOYFRIEND

Sadly, the pen ran out of battery life and she needed to recharge it. She didn't want anyone to know that it was a camcorder so, she didn't charge it during class. She listened to the class attentively and ignored the man beside her. Actually, they weren't really sitting closely because Cayenne placed her bag on the chair next to her which means, there's one chair between them.

Noah kept glancing at her and on the bag between them. In the end, he could only smile faintly and shake his head. "Ayen –" Noah wanted to say something but when he saw her horrified expression, he forgot the things that he wanted to say.

Cayenne on the other hand was looking at him with wide eyes. She didn't know if she heard him correctly but she really thought she heard him call Ayen. "Did you just call me Ayen?"

"Ah? Yes. Can I not call you that?" Noah questioned, looking innocent and confused.

"No, you can't. Yen is fine."

"O-okay." Noah tried to think back the words he wanted to say but he really forgot them. "Do you want to grab lunch with me later? I want to talk about the first activity."

"Alright."

Cayenne ignored him once again after giving her response. As much as possible, she didn't want to get too close to him. He didn't want Stefan to be jealous of him. 'Is there a possibility that I can change partners?' she looked around the classroom to find any prospects that she can pair up with. She looked around but she was disappointed. Everyone seemed close to each other.

"What are you looking at?" Noah asked her.

"Nothing." Cayenne avoided his gaze and continued to write her notes. She didn't pay any attention to him anymore.

After the first subject, they proceeded to the second subject but before getting inside the next room, Cayenne went to the comfort room to secretly charge her pen. She also called Stefan to inform him about it.

"I'm so worried when I couldn't see your face in my laptop." Stefan stated as soon as he received her call. "Did you find it?"

"Hn. Someone found it yesterday and he returned it to me this morning."

"He?"

"Is that the only thing you catch from my words?" Cayenne questioned while chuckling. "He's a new student and he's my classmate. Anyway, I still have another class to attend. I'll use the pen later in the afternoon. You can continue to monitor me with the bodyguards. Don't worry too much, okay?"

Stefan was still reluctant to end the call with her but he also understands that she needed to go to class. "I'll see you later. Call me if you need me. I love you."

"I love you, too."

Cayenne ended the call and ran out of the comfort room to get to the next class. Thankfully, the professor wasn't around yet. She ran to the back of the class and sat on her seat yesterday. Just like what she normally does, she put her bag on the chair next to her, preventing other students to use it. There were many available chairs anyway.

Time went by quickly and since Noah wasn't sitting close to her, Cayenne was able to put down her guards. Sometimes, other students would ask her several questions unrelated to class and Cayenne answers them politely before telling them to focus to the lesson.

She wanted to chat with them but she wanted to focus in her class as well. She didn't want to fail in her chosen course. Apparently, she chose it because of Arthur but even if she didn't like it now, she didn't want to take a step back as well. She has learned to enjoy the course already.

The third subject teacher was only giving them an activity that needs to be done in the library. It was a research activity and even though there were so many things she needed to look for, Cayenne was happy to take on this activity. She likes reading, although not as much as other people but still, she enjoys reading and she likes to spend time with books as well.

"Let's go to the library together." Noah told Cayenne when he saw her getting ready to go out.

"Uh. Sure." She's going to the library and he's going there, too. She thought it's fine and there's nothing much to think about. In any case, the two bodyguards will be following her closely while the other two bodyguards will be looking after her from a distance.

"Do you always go out with your bodyguards?" Noah asked upon seeing the two bulky men following behind them.

"Yup. If it bothers you, you can just go there by yourself." Cayenne mentioned without hesitating to shake him off from her life.

Noah just smiled and continued to walk beside her. "By the way, Yen, do you have a boyfriend?"

"Me? I don't." the bodyguards were all shock to hear these words and for the very first time, they were thankful that the pen got lost. They had no idea that Cayenne found it already. If Stefan heard her words, they thought that he'd probably flip out in anger and rush to the school to confront her.

Cayenne looked at the funny expressions on her bodyguards' faces and she also observed Noah's expression. He looked relieved and happy but Cayenne was bound to disappoint him.

"I don't have a boyfriend but I have a husband." Cayenne said which stunned Noah in front of her. "He also calls me Ayen which was why I didn't want anyone to call me that way. And the pen that you returned, it has a very special connection to us and I am so grateful that you found it for me. Thank you so much."

The guards looked away and smiled secretly with the way Cayenne declared her relationship to the man. She didn't want to be conceited or feel narcistic to herself but she had this gut feeling that Noah was interested in her. Even if he's not, she thought that it was better to put some distance between them and the most effective way to do that was to tell him that she's married.

Noah looked at Cayenne and after some time, he laughed. It was a hearty laughter and his eyes were twinkling happily. "You don't really have to lie to me. Is that your way of stopping men from pursuing you?"

"Ha?" Cayenne was stumped for words. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry at his response. Before he looked handsome and cool to her but now, he looked stupid in front of her. Cayenne sighed and put her one of her hand on Noah's shoulder. "Do I look like a liar to you? Also…" Cayenne took out her necklace and showed the ring pendant to him. "This is my wedding ring. Well, not really wedding ring because we only registered our marriage. We have not held the wedding yet. When that happens, I'll surely give you an invitation letter."

Noah looked askance but he smiled and didn't pursue this topic anymore. "I'm glad that we're both taken." He said and gently pat Cayenne's head. "I was just testing you. Thankfully we're on the same boat."

"Oh! That's great!" Cayenne didn't know if he was telling the truth or not. But she didn't care about it anymore as long as he won't be making passes on her.
