She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 186 - EXPECTED VISIT; UNEXPECTED LUNCH

"Hmp! First love my ass!" Cayenne cursed in anger. "I don't recognize him as my first love anymore. How dare he belittle me?! I thought we knew each other and I'm actually wrong about him."

"Alright. Let's not talk about it." Luna can see her anger flaring up again so she decided to change the topic. "Can I see the couple ring?" She whispered close to her ears to prevent other people from hearing them.

Cayenne took out her necklace and showed to her friend the gold ring with so many diamonds embedded on it and the names of the couple were engraved on the inner side.

"Oh my g! Is this for real?!"

"Shh!" Cayenne placed her finger on her lips to signal her friend to keep quiet. "Are you done looking at it? I need to hide it away."

"Sure." Lulu let go of Cayenne's necklace so that her best friend can hide it under her uniform. "That's very sweet of him. So, when's the wedding."

'Cough. Cough. Cough.'? Cayenne was coughing profusely her face was getting red. She choked on her own saliva when she was asked this question and her incessant coughing can't be suppressed for a moment. She was really shocked with the question and at the same time, a little bit guilty for lying to her friends and family.

The other employees were looking at them in curiosity as well but Cayenne just ignored them. Manager Kim arrived and gave her a bottled water. "Why are you coughing all of a sudden. If he knows about this, he will think that we're bullying you." Manager Kim commented while rubbing her back.

"Sorry Ms. Kim. I was just so surprise with Luna's question." Cayenne replied with a faint smile as she accepted the water and drank it.

"What question?" Manager Kim looked towards Luna to know the details. She must know everything because there are times that Stefan will ask her some things that Cayenne didn't want to say even when she was being bullied or was feeling aggrieved. She's worried that she'd lose her job if she can't answer him.

Luna rolled her and sighed helplessly. "I was just asking about the wedding."

"Oh." Manager Kim perfunctorily answered. "Anyway, as soon as you're done logging in, make sure to start doing your work."

"Yes, ma'am." Everyone answered and that included Cayenne.

Because of Luna's careless question, Cayenne became food for gossip once again. It wasn't anything excessive – they were just talking of her upcoming wedding and who might be the groom. They still have no idea who was her boyfriend.

And just like what she had expected, Stefan came over during lunch. And he didn't eat his lunch inside his suite. Instead, he ate in the same lounge as the employees and took the same type of meal like them. In fact, Cayenne has more food than him. Chris could only follow her boss in a helpless manner. He can never understand this wife-doting-husband.

"Can I sit here?" Stefan asked Luna when he found their table. Chris was following behind him with his own tray of food. Luna nodded her head and pulled the chair for the boss to sit. He sat beside Cayenne and Chris could only sit beside Luna since there's no other choice.

'What is this situation?! Why are we in this situation once again?!' Cayenne screamed mentally while having a staring contest with her food. 'Ahh! This idiot! I expected him to come over but I didn't expect him to do this.'

"Why is your food a little bit different from the other employees?" Stefan questioned to get Cayenne's attention. He got a kick on his leg and since no one can see what was happening under the table, Cayenne stepped on his foot as well. "I didn't mean anything with my question. Just wondering."

"Wondering my face." Cayenne whispered and Stefan heard it clearly.

He was having the best time of his life, teasing his wife once again. "This is your punishment for postponing the honeymoon." Stefan whispered to her, making his wife blush under everyone's gaze.

Cayenne bit her lower lip while trying to calm her heart. She would never embarrass herself in front of her colleagues. She raised her head and smiled faintly at him. "I have a different set of lunch because my boyfriend asked the chef to do this for me."

"Really?"

"Hn. Do you want to eat some? I don't mind sharing my food."

Everyone was watching, waiting if their devil boss would really take Cayenne's offer. To their surprise, he really did.

"I want a slice of this pork chop and this shrimp tempura." Stefan took the food with his own fork as he said these words. Cayenne just let him be. "You don't have sweets? I remember you said that you love sweets."

"My boyfriend says that I can't have too much sweets. I ate one this morning before going to work so I won't have one for the rest of the day."

"Your boyfriend is very strict."

"No, he's not. He's very sweet and caring, in fact."

"What's that on your neck?" Stefan asked shamelessly. "Is that a ring?"

"Yup." She replied with a sweet smile but deep inside, she wanted to shut his mouth and just go home already. "My boyfriend gave this to me."

"That's really pretty. I gave my girlfriend a ring, too. Your boyfriend is such a copycat."

"That doesn't matter." Cayenne replied while kicking him again under the table.

Chris and Luna ate their food silently. Luna looked at the secretary with her eyes asking "What happened to the boss?" Secretary Chris could only shrug his shoulders because he had no idea what these couple were up to.

"What game are they playing?" Jessie was on duty this time and asked manager Kim this question.

"I don't know. Playing pretend, I guess." Manager Kim retorted before she continued to eat her food.

However, the other employees have a different opinion, specially the rotten women who loves watching boys love.

"Don't you think that the boss and his secretary perfectly suit each other?" one of the women asked. Chris choked on his food and stiffened.

'What the heck are these women thinking?!'

"I know right. If I didn't know that the boss has a girlfriend, I would think that these two men are having an office romance." Another woman replied.

'Office romance my butt! Only his little wife can have an office romance with him.'

"But the president didn't show the identity of his girlfriend. Maybe it's Mr. Secretary and all those women were just excuses."

'Ladies, please dismiss this rotten idea. I don't want to get killed by the boss! Why do you have to make a wild ship like this?' Chris wanted to cry on the spot. When Stefan looked at him with a side glance, he wanted to dig a deep hole and bury himself.

Cayenne heard those whisperings and she couldn't help but chuckle. "Mr. President, some women like your secretary to be your little girlfriend. What do you say?"

And this questioned silenced the whole lounge. It was so silence that you can hear a small pin being dropped on the floor.

'Cayenne is insane!' This was what everyone thought.
