She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 174 - HEART-TO-HEART TALK

One problem after another, the Minato was slowly falling off from their graceful and high places. Their family was becoming the food for other socialites to gossip. But Cayenne and Stefan didn't care about all these. Their life continued like usual.

Stefan dropped her off to work and he drove to his company to work as well. Chris was already there, waiting for him to arrive. But another person was actually waiting for him -Magnus.

Stefan ignored his father and continued to get inside his office.

"Stefan, wait up! I need to talk to you." Magnus tried his best to keep with his son but Stefan didn't even give him a side glance.

"Are you here to ask for my help in relation to the Minato family? Before you can say anything, I'm refusing. There's no way I'd help those scums." His acting can really match up with those actors and actresses in the entertainment industry. He knew that Magnus was the one who's damaging the Minato but he acted as if he didn't know.

Magnus shook his head but there was no sadness or despair emotion in his eyes. In fact, you can see that he was happy. "I'm not here to ask your help for them."

"So, what are you here for?"

"I'm here to tell you that you should bring Ms. Ardolf home and introduce her to the family. You've been together for a while now but you haven't introduced her yet." Magnus responded which made the other people who heard his words misunderstood something.

"The boss claimed to be serious with his current girlfriend but it turned out that he didn't even introduce her to his family." One of the employees whispered.

"Shut up. What does it have to do with you if he introduced his girlfriend to his family or not? Stop gossiping or you might lose your job. Don't tell me that I didn't warn you." The long-time employee informed knowing what kind of temper the boss has. He would become unreasonable if someone talks bad about his girlfriend.

The employees kept their mouth shut but they still have this thought that Stefan was just fooling with his current woman but they didn't say it out loud. What Stefan said next stunned everyone, though.

"I won't bring her to the family just to get herself humiliated. Why should I embarrass the woman I love? If you can't accept her, you don't have to act shameless in front of me just so I could help you with your problem."

"No. That's not what I mean. It was your grandpa who said that you should formally introduce her if you really like her. We won't question your choice." Magnus hurriedly explained but Stefan wouldn't bother falling for their tricks.

"What is it that you need from me? Don't drag my girlfriend into this."

"We just want you to come home." Magnus replied. "But it would be great if you can come home after two weeks. I just need to do some cleaning."

"Okay. But if I found out that this is a trap for me and my girlfriend, I'll marry into her family and change my last name."

Everyone gasped. They can't believe that the almighty Stefan Dumrique would be willing to marry himself off to his girlfriend to the extend of changing his last name with hers. To other men, this is considered shameful but to him, it was nothing at all.

Magnus nodded his head in understanding. "I'll send you a message when the right time has come."

"Sure. You know where the door is. You can send yourself out." Stefan no longer knew the word respect when it comes to his own family. Ever since he was young, he never felt that he was loved or respected. Even the servants in their household dared to make fun of him because no one cares for him except Alexander. 'Let's wait and see.' Stefan told himself before opening his computer to start working.

Cayenne was happily working since she found out that the review involving her name was removed. She didn't know how Stefan did it but she didn't ask him. Instead, she was thinking how she can make it up to him. "Is it really the right time to get married?" she mumbled while dusting off the pillow she was holding. She didn't expect that Celine would have a good sense of hearing and heard what she said.

"What are you mumbling about? Are you and your boyfriend planning to get married?" the older lady asked her while folding the bedsheet.

Cayenne nodded her head in response. "He asked me twice already but I am not sure if we should get married. I've known him for over a year and we became formally acquainted three months ago. And we just got together last month. To me, he's the only man that I love and I will love for the rest of my life but I am worried."

"You're worried that you have different status and he might cheat on you and divorce you later on?" Celine asked frankly. She was actually right. These were the things that had been lingering in Cayenne's mind.

"I don't know much when it comes to love and thinking about the future makes me scared."

Celine sat on the bed and placed the folded bedsheet on the space beside her. "Yenyen, love isn't measured with time. And you're worried for something that will happen in the future and you don't even know what's in store for you in the future. You can't doubt his love for you because it would mean that you don't trust him. Also, if the thing you're worried about really happen, all you have to do is let go. Even if you love someone so much, if that person could no longer return your love, don't force yourself. You will only get hurt and you will hurt him, too."

"That's what I'm thinking, too." Cayenne admitted. "I told him about it and he promised he won't do anything that could hurt me. I want to believe in him and believe in the things that we have together. But sometimes, it gets really scary."
