She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 219 - TAKING A MONTH OFF

"Cayenne\'s absent again." One of the employees said while they were lining up to log in for their shift.

"I know, right. I heard she\'s taking a whole month off."

"No kidding?!" Another exclaimed in question. "If she didn\'t want to work, why is she even here? I don\'t mean anything ill about it but, isn\'t she worried that the president will know about her performance and fire her?"

Luna heard what they said and she couldn\'t help but butt in. "Apparently, the president knew about it. Manager Kim asked him for approval and he said yes."

"Seriously? The president agreed to it? For what reason? If she can do that, maybe we can take sometime off as well." Another employee commented with deep anticipation.

Luna just faintly smiled without saying anything. They can obviously try to file for a month off but it would be difficult for Stefan to agree to it. No, he won\'t agree to it and they\'re bound to be disappointed.

"Is she taking a month off because of her boyfriend?"

"Are they going on a vacation?"

"Come on, let\'s check which artist is currently on vacation."

Then and there, the employees who were very interested about Cayenne\'s relationship started searching online to see which artist went to have a vacation. But no matter which entertainment they looked into and which artist, none of them went to have a vacation. Some just took a day or two for a rest day but no one left a post stating that they\'d be gone for a whole month.

"Let\'s just give up on it. Anyway, Cayenne will surely post some pictures. We can check which artist goes to the same place as her." another brilliant idea came from one of the Cayenne\'s colleagues.

"Why are you so interested with her love life?" Luna couldn\'t stop herself from asking them. "Aren\'t you prying too much about her life?"

"We don\'t mean it in a bad way, Lulu." One of the women defended in behalf of the other employees. "We all know that Cayenne had been single for the entire 23 years of her life and we\'re just a bit worried for her. What if her boyfriend is a scam? What if he\'s going to hurt her? You know, people from the entertainment circle cannot be trusted. As a friend, aren\'t you worried for her. What if she\'s invested too much of her emotions and he ended up hurting her?"

"That won\'t happen." Luna replied with a face full of confidence. "I can assure you that would never happen. And who said that her boyfriend is from the entertainment industry?"

"Ah? He\'s not?"

"No. Did Cayenne said so? She didn\'t. And I know the man. I also know how much he cared for her and her family. If you aren\'t serious and just wanted to play, would you dare show up yourself in front of your boyfriend or girlfriend\'s family? Would you introduce your partner to your close friends? Would you introduce your partner to your own family? They may have kept it in public but those who were close to them knew about their relationship already. And besides, if he dares to hurt her, it\'s not Yenyen\'s loss, it\'s his." Luna stumped them with her words. She pressed her finger to the biometric and logged in for the day\'s shift. "You don\'t have to worry about her that much. If anything goes wrong, Cayenne still has friends and families who will take care of her."

"You\'re right." Left with no choice, they kept their phone and stopped minding about Cayenne. Since it came to this point, they can only watch over her and comfort her if needed; hopefully there\'s no need to comfort her. They won\'t wish her to have a break up with her partner and have her heart broken. It would be too painful for a fragile girl like her.

At 10:00 in the morning, Cayenne and Stefan was waiting for their flight bound for Italy. Cayenne was still sleepy because of excitement, she didn\'t get a wink of sleep.

"Later, you can sleep inside the plane since we\'ll be taking sometime before we can reach." Stefan informed her while caressing her face. "You have dark circles in your eyes."

"I know. I can\'t even conceal it. I was so excited for this trip with you." Cayenne replied while covering her mouth to yawn. She leaned on his shoulder and closed her eyes for a bit. "Wake me up once it\'s our time to get inside."

"Sure." Stefan ran his fingers through her hair to comfort her. While doing so, he told Chris to get in touch with Cole and asked if the man would be interested to work for him. He\'s got family to support and even if he got savings, money will still all be spent up if you have no source of income.

He remembered what Cayenne said last night. Cole had been working so hard to bring their business to what its current state. However, his mother didn\'t acknowledge his hard work. And on top of that, when he decided to get married against his mother\'s choice, Kirin completely ignored him. She didn\'t promote him and he only got the basic salary for a general manager. \'What\'s even sadder is when you work so hard but you don\'t even get an acknowledgement for it.\' That was what Cole said and it struck him that he can use the man to spite Kirin and Arthur.

"Attention, flight IT12215 bound for Venice, Italy…" Stefan heard the announcement and gently woke up his wife. "Ayen, it\'s time to go." She stirred for a moment but she didn\'t open her eyes. "If you won\'t wake up, I\'ll kiss you in front of everyone."

"Whatever." Cayenne responded with a faint groan. The next thing she knew, she was having a hard time breathing.
