She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 582 - CAYENNE'S BIRTHDAY V

Whispers from the crowd erupted in seconds right after Cayenne opened the small box. It was a car key. She didn't really mean to brag the gifts that she received but her brothers and the organizers set up a lot of cameras to record the party and the cameras were connected to a projector as well.

When they decided to open gifts, one of the cameras were pointing at her and when she opened the gift, everyone saw what it was. The logo on the car key was from Porsche. It didn't matter what model the car would be but it's bound to be expensive.

"I…uh…" Cayenne gulped at the sight of the gift and looked around to find her father. When she spotted him, she didn't know what to say. "I…thank you? I mean…well, I'm so happy to receive this gift from you but dad, I don't know how to drive. It will take me months before I can use your gift."

"That's fine. You can take your time. The car is not hurrying you." Reuben responded.

"Oh. Okay." Cayenne put the car key inside the box again and placed it on another table to make sure she won't lose it. "Thank you, dad." She said once again and picked another gift.

"It's too bad that Auntie Emerald is no longer here." Luna commented while watching Cayenne and her father interact. "I'm not really against her father but it's just a sad thing that Yen's mother passed away so early."

"I'm sure she's happy now. Living while watching her daughter suffer, that must have tormented her. Now, although she's gone, she made sure that Cayenne finds her happiness before she left. I'm sure she didn't have any regret." Ali, Luna's boyfriend, replied to comfort his girlfriend.

In front, Cayenne picked a gift which was from Kyle and Kath. "I don't have any idea of what item could be this large and heavy." Cayenne commented while she unwrapped the ribbon. When she opened it, her eyes automatically looked at her husband who was also looking at her. "You know what, someone would be happier than me with these gifts."

Gifts. That's right. In one box, Kath and Kyle put lots of things that were all matching. When Stefan saw it, his eyes lit up. There was a matching bathrobe with Mr. and Mrs. Dumrique embroidered on it, a matching tumbler, a matching jacket, a matching scarf and a whole lot more of matching items.

"You know me so well." Stefan told Kyle and Kath with a huge smile on his face but his smile disappeared when Cayenne spoke again.

"Since we have so many matching items – I think this equivalent to a year – hon, let's stop buying matching things for a while."

"No way!" Stefan refuted instantly which made everyone laugh. "You can't do this to me. It's them who bought it, not me. And it's their gift to you not to me. You're being unfair."

"Stefan is really obsessed with matching items." Luna muttered.

"The boss is actually cute." Jessie said but then, she remembered her current suitor which gave her a headache. 'I still can't process the possibility of making my boss into my nephew.' She thought to herself and rubbed her temple in silence.

"I didn't know he's got this side of him." Jillyanna stated.

"So childish." Travis mumbled in helplessness.

"I was just kidding." Cayenne told her husband and told him to sit back once again.

On the other hand, Luiz heard from the guard that Erwin was already making his way to the venue. He soon changed his words and told Cayenne to open the biggest gift. "Sis, you already picked the smallest box. Why don't you open the biggest box?"

"Give me a moment." Cayenne walked towards Sabrina-in-a-box and waited until she could see Erwin's figure. As soon as he arrived back at the venue Cayenne pretended to read the letter on the box. "Wait. This gift isn't for me."

"Not for you?" Luiz frowned, pretending he was also surprised with this change. "Well, we already have a refrigerator so I think it's not really meant for you. What does it say?"

"To the man who loves Little Red Riding Hood." Cayenne answered and looked to the crowd. "Who likes Little Red Riding Hood here?"

"Oh! I think Erwin likes it. I remember that when we had our family trip last time, brother searched for little red riding hood items in order to bring it as souvenir for Erwin."

"Is that so?" Cayenne pretended to look around and 'finally spotted' Erwin at the back with the other bodyguards. "Erwin, come over her. I think this is for you."

"Go open it." One of the guards pushed Erwin to the front. They knew what was going on except for Erwin who went to his room.

"Come on. It's okay even if it's my birthday." Cayenne added, beckoning him with her fingers to come in front.

"Sorry about this." He said while looking at the huge box. "I don't remember any package addressed for me, though."

"Just open it." Shein yelled from the crowd to see what the man's reaction.

"Is it fine? I mean…I don't want to interrupt the party."

"It's okay. Go ahead and open it." Luiz urged him, too.

Cayenne picked up the car key that her father gifted her before going back to her seat. She didn't want to risk losing such small item with great value. As for the box containing Kyle and Kath's gifts, Stefan had long secured it already. He was more delighted than Cayenne as if he was the one who received the items.

Meanwhile, Erwin was untying the red ribbon when he accidentally knocked it and it swayed to the side which gave him the impression that it was a very light item despite the size. He walked around it and found the print of the refrigerator at the back. 'Wait. Isn't this the ref that we have inside the house?' he asked himself while looking at it up and down.

Inside the box, Sabrina was feeling so nervous and excited at the same time. It's been several months since they last saw each other and she really, really missed him.

"Are you guys pranking me?" Erwin asked without opening the gift. The ribbon was already untied but there was still a masking tape that covered the top of the box. "This is the box of the ref we have inside the house."

"Is that so? I don't remember." Cayenne replied almost instantly. "But if that is the box, why is that here?"

"I don't know." Erwin answered while still contemplating if he should open it in front of them. He's really worried that he was being pranked by everyone.

"My god! What's taking you so long to open this stupid box?!" Sabrina yelled in question while knocking the box of and got herself out of it. "Why the hell would we prank you? Tsk!" She fixed her hair and her clothes while speaking but Erwin was standing shocked-silly in front of her – unable to utter a single word.

It felt like the world had gone silent and Erwin could only see Sabrina in front of him and no one else. He blinked his eyes several times, watching his girlfriend speak of so many things that he couldn't seem to process.

"Hey!" Sabrina flicked his forehead which brought him back to reality.? The other bodyguards were laughing and some were clapping their hands for their unexpected reunion. Cayenne and Stefan were smiling at them, too.

"God! This is real! My forehead hurts!"

"Goodness. How did I fall in love with you?" Sabrina questioned as she threw herself at him. "I miss you. I miss you so much."

"Me, too." Erwin whispered and wrapped his hands around her waist, hugging her tightly. "I really, really miss you. How did you get here? Why didn't you tell me you're coming over?"

As they reunited, they guests were also giving them a round of applause. "Such a grand reunion." Manager Kim commented while she clapped her hands for the couple.

"Who is that man? I have never seen him before but he seemed really close to Cayenne and the boss." Manager Dan questioned Luna. Among them, Luna was the one closest to Cayenne. However, they had no idea that among them, someone was also getting closer to Cayenne and Stefan's family.

Luna tried to recall the information she knew and told her colleagues. "Erwin is one of the trusted bodyguards of Yen's dad. When she broke up with Stefan in March, she moved her and her father sent Erwin to guard her. He was like a butler to her. And then, he met Sabrina and they fell in love with each other. To raise his status in order to match each other, Stefan assigned him to be the Chief Supervisor of the security team of his company."

"And what about that Sabrina? What do you know of her?" Celine asked, also intrigued with the story.

"Yen told me that Sabrina is Stefan's childhood friend. They grew up together before Stefan ran away from home and before Sabrina went to Italy."

"Oh?! She came from Italy?"

"Yeah. Her family moved there due to business reason. And she only came back to visit City A last time. That's the only thing that I know."

"Wow! She really crossed the ocean to shorten the distance and meet him."

"He's very lucky to have her."

They gossiped in whisper while having fruits and desserts on their table. They didn't really mean it in a bad way. They just wanted to know what kind of people did Cayenne meet after knowing Stefan.

As they talked, another group of guests came. They were from the Sugo family that Cayenne waited so much. Everyone looked at the new comers and for the first time in years, the Dumrique family and the Sugo family met. Jessie raised her head to look as well and her eyes met Stanley's.

'Oh no! No! I have to run.'
