She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 396 - TO CALM STEFAN

The girls went back to Jillyanna's house as soon as possible and when Cayenne got inside, Stefan immediately pulled her to his side. "I couldn't concentrate on what they said." He told her with an apologetic tone. "I really tried but I can't."

Cayenne gently squeezed his hand and smiled encouragingly at him. "It's fine. I understand. But I honestly thought we'd make progress since you survived for an hour earlier."

"Sorry."

Cayenne didn't say anything but she rubbed his arm to comfort him. She turned to Shein and Riley, and to everyone who was looking at the pen now. "What's this pen for?"

"Just a sec. I'll show you something." Shein took out his personal computer that he always brings with him wherever he goes. He typed something on his computer and pressed the green button on the pen. "This is my latest invention. Actually, this was Jade's idea and I just tried putting some things together to make it possible." Soon, his own face was reflected in his laptop. "This pen has a mini camera."

Cayenne was completely amazed with this. She knew that Jillyanna's family members have different kind of weird things for protection and tracking purposes but it was the first one that she sees in person.

The cute pink pen was placed inside a small case. It has a little bear head on one end of it, which eyes were made of small cameras. There were three small buttons that you can press; green to turn it on and start recording, red to stop it; and black to turn it off. It has very simple mechanic. At first glance, you would really think it's a normal pen because the ballpoint and can be used to write something but its main purpose was to really record the surroundings.

"The only sad thing about this is the battery life. This recording pen can only last for eight hours a day but you can recharge it using your phone's charger." Shien showed them the charging hole which was at the back of the bears head. "I'm giving it to you." Shein handed the pen to Cayenne including the case. "In this way, Stefan will be able to see you without any of your classmates or teachers knowing about it."

"Oh." Cayenne received the gift and look at it in amazement. "Thank you, Shein."

Stefan looked at the pen and felt a little relieved but he still wasn't convinced with one single item for Cayenne's protection. Seeing his expression, Travis couldn't stop smirking at him. But he can totally understand him. If Jillyanna wasn't a fighter who can completely defend herself, he would be paranoid just like this friend of his.

"Fine. We'll stop teasing you." Valkyrie told Stefan and took out a small box under the coffee table. There were chips of all shapes and some things that Cayenne didn't know what to call. "Can I have your phone, Yen?"

"Sure." Cayenne handed her phone to Valkyrie and watched him tinker her own gadget in front of everyone. She was already crossing her fingers that nothing would happen to her phone. Valkyrie placed a small circular item inside her phone and put them back together like he did nothing. "Are you done?"

"Yes."

Valkyrie returned her phone and turned to Stefan. "Give me your phone, you big clingy man."

"Isn't that you?" Stefan responded while taking out his phone. "I couldn't beat your clinginess at all."

"Shut up or I won't help you." Valkyrie responded but his hands were already moving on its own. He shared an app to Stefan's phone which he used to monitor Brown's whereabout. "When you open this app, you will see a red dot here which corresponds to Cayenne's phone. As long as she has her phone, you would know her direction." Valkyrie showed him how to do it twice before handing the phone back to him.

"How about the pen? How can he check on me?" Cayenne asked Shein this time since it was his own invention.

"Don't worry about that. I have configured his computer already. As soon as he opens it, he will see the program running."

"O-okay." Cayenne thanked them again, thinking that was all. When Valkyrie picked another thing, she realized that they're just starting.

They gave her a lot of small items that can be used as a self-defense, in order to calm Stefan. They were small and handy, not complicated to use and not noticeable by other people. They looked like little accessories inside her bag.

"Thank you so much for all your help." Cayenne stood up and bowed her head in front of them. She was truly grateful that she met all these people who care for her and Stefan.

"Not at all. We just don't want a certain someone to go crazy. It would be a great loss to the society." Valkyrie stated, mocking Stefan on the process.

Stefan didn't say anything because they were indeed a great help. He just ignored Valkyrie's words and focused on the good result of their visit.

"It's lunch time already, why don't you two stay for lunch with us?" Jillyanna invited them but Cayenne and Stefan has other plans in the afternoon.

"Thank you for inviting us but, we actually have other plans in the afternoon. Maybe next time?" Cayenne tried her best to refuse Jillyanna politely in which the other woman just smiled.

"Sure. Come again next time."

"Thank you for helping us." Stefan mentioned as he stood up from his seat. "We'll get going now."

"Hn. Take care always." Travis gave him a pat on his shoulder. "If there's anything else that you want, just give me a call."

Stefan nodded his head and together with Cayenne, he bid farewell to them. They left the Madrigal home and went back to City A. They didn't plan anything special in the afternoon but just spend time together while he works in his company. He needed to work more because they will leave again after three days. It wouldn't be good if his works pile up like a mountain on his desks. Although Chris can help him with most works, there were still things that only Stefan can do.

"Shall we try using the pen in the office?"

"No."

"Eh?" Cayenne didn't expect him to refuse her suggestion immediately. "I thought my words are the rule."

"Honey, you left me twice today. I thought we're taking this slowly."

Cayenne thought so as well thus; she gave up on the idea. "Alright, I won't do it."

The two of them bought some foods through drive thru because Cayenne didn't want to waste any more of their time. She didn't need a fancy lunch with him this time. When they arrived at his office, the first thing that Cayenne looked at was his table. And just as she expected, lots of documents were placed on top of his desk. There was a note left as well.

"Is there anything that I can help you with?" Cayenne asked while putting her bag on the couch. She was done with the translation work he gave her last time and she wanted to help him again with whatever little thing she can do.

"Can you help me check on this." Stefan handed her a folder with lots of numbers on it. "Can you review if the numbers add up correctly?"

"Down to the decimals?"

"Yes."

"Okay." Cayenne took the folder and sat on the couch to start working. "Do you have to review this kind of documents all the time?"

"Yup. I don't want to sign things blindly." Stefan replied. "I don't know all the employees that the HR hires for me and I don't know when I'd step on a landmine with financial holes. It's better to be safe than sorry so, I always review every budget before signing them."

"No wonder you haven't experiences any loss."?Cayenne replied. "But, I am not really good with math. Are you sure you want to trust me with this millions-worth of project?"

"It's a simple math. I know you can do it. Don't blindly follow the numbers printed on the docs, make your own computation and compare them."

"Do I have a deadline?"

"Not really. You can do that one the whole afternoon if you want."

Cayenne nodded her head once again. She pulled some clean bond papers under the coffee table and started writing on it. She wanted to use her own brain without the help of calculator in this document but she will still make an input on the calculator later to make sure that she got it right.

When Chris came inside to talk with Stefan, he found the two lovebirds working seriously and as soon as he saw what Cayenne was doing, he couldn't stop his head from shaking. If it were another people's wife, they would probably flare up if their husband handed them this document to work on. But Cayenne was diligently taking her job.

After giving Stefan another folder, which made him smile, Chris left immediately to give them back their space.

As for the folder? It wasn't anything related to business but it was a list of things for their wedding that Cayenne had no idea at all.
