She's My Sleeping Pill-Chapter 81 - YOU ARE THE BIGGEST FOOL

Cayenne saw him standing in the middle of the living room while holding his phone and her number displaying on the screen.

"Where have you been?" Stefan asked with a hint of anger on his voice. He pocketed his phone and focused his attention to her.

Cayenne changed her slippers and walked towards him. "Sorry for coming back late. I went back to the apartment." She apologized and even bowed her head in front of him.

"Why did you go back there? It would have been fine if you return here during your working hours. Weren't you suppose to be here before seven in the evening? Your work should start after you're done with your work in the hotel." Stefan bit his lower lip because he didn't want to say these words. Before he can stop himself, he was already spouting these words that could possibly hurt her. "Ayen, I-"

Cayenne gulped drily and kept her head down. "I'm sorry. I won't let it happen again. I thought it was fine since you went to the ball and you mentioned that you will be home after the party. I apologize for not asking your permission." She raised her head and looked at him with apologetic smile. "I got ahead of myself. Anyway, I'll see to it that this carelessness won't repeat." Her heart was breaking but she didn't show it on her face. She maintained being professional with him.

Stefan opened his mouth but closed it again. He didn't know what to say to her. He didn't even understand why he was getting angry when she just went back to her home. "I'm sorry." Stefan mumbled helplessly.

Cayenne looked at him and smiled faintly. "You don't need to apologize to me, sir. It's my fault for not asking your permission."

"I don't like this. Ayen, I don't like this situation we are in."

"Sir Stefan, don't think too much about this situation we have. Just think of me as a tool that can help you sleep. As long as you act according to the contract we have, I don't really mind our situation."

"You are so heartless." Stefan couldn't help but say these words. 'No! I didn't want to say that.' But it was too late, he already said it.

Cayenne blinked her eyes several times and she clenched her right hand into fist. "I'm sorry if you think I'm heartless, sir. I actually have a heart but the space is fully occupied with my family. There's no more space for someone else."

"Is that so?" Stefan smirked. "I understand. Anyway, let's just go to sleep." He was shock to know that he has no space in her heart and a cruel plan was formed in his mind because of what she said. He will make sure to make her fall in love with him and dump her after he's fully cured with his insomnia. He will occupy half of the space in her heart.

Cayenne followed Stefan upstairs while trying her best to stop her tears from falling. 'Soon. I'll give up my love soon.' Cayenne told herself.

You never knew that you love someone unless you're hurt because of that person. And love comes with pain. This time, Cayenne knew that she was really in love. When Arthur's mother came to confront her, she wasn't hurt because she was told to stay away from him. She was hurt because she was belittled. In Stefan's case, she was hurt with all the negative words he said. Just the thought of being separated with him someday, hurts her so much.

Stefan went to the bathroom to take a shower and Cayenne waited for him outside. While he was bathing, Cayenne's tired and exhausted look seemed to appear in front of him. She was sweaty and some strands of her hair were sticking to her forehead and the neckline of her shirt was a little damp.

"Did she run from the gate to the house? Didn't she get back here with the driver?" His guilty conscience kicked in but it was too late to regret what he did. He already scolded her even though she didn't do anything wrong. She didn't even try to understand her to begin with.

Frustrated with what she did, Stefan punched the bathroom wall which scraped some skin on his knuckles. "Stefan, you're the biggest idiot!'

Cayenne was sitting on the bed while waiting for him to come out. She needed to shower too since she was sweaty from the long walk she did. When Stefan came out, she immediately stood up to get inside the bathroom. She needed to double her time since it was getting late and he needed to sleep soon.

When she stole a glance at him, she noticed his red knuckles. "What happened to you? Why are you bleeding?"

"This does not concern you. Go and take a shower so we can sleep."

"You are my boss and your safety during nighttime inside this house is my concern. Wait her for a bit." Cayenne look for the first aid kit and took some betadine, cotton buds, gauze and tape. She cleaned the scrapes on his knuckles with the cotton buds and betadine.

"I can do this myself." Stefan mentioned and even tried pushing her away by her shoulders.

"Stop moving. I'll be done in few minutes." 𝗳𝘳𝐞e𝙬𝙚𝚋𝗻𝚘𝚟𝗲l.𝑐𝑜ｍ

Stefan watched her clean his small wounds. For some reason, she felt happy that she was concern for him but he also felt upset that she was only doing it because he was her boss. He raised her hand, wanting to touch her head but, Cayenne looked at him, making him retract his hand.

"I'm done." She told him and gave him a gentle smile. "You can go to bed first."

"Okay."

Cayenne returned the kit back to the medicine cabinet and took a shower right after. She didn't take long since she already had her bathe at home. She didn't take a full shower so, there's no need to dry her hair.

"Come on. I'm sleepy already." Stefan was patting her side of the bed even though she just got out of the shower.
