She’s My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 5 - I WILL NEVER CROSS YOUR BOTTOM LINE



Chapter 5 – I WILL NEVER CROSS YOUR BOTTOM LINE

Cayenne was stupefied with his proposal and she didn't know whether to become angry or to mock him. "With all due respect sir, I am not a prostitute who you can bed with. What happened between us was a mistake. I didn't really mean to fall asleep on your bed and I don't have the slightest intention to sleep with random people. I'm sorry but I cannot accept this." She stated what she had in mind in one go without pausing to take a breath or wait for his reply.

"Read the whole proposal before you refuse my offer." Stefan responded without any trace of anger or any ill emotion. He was, in fact, even more interested with her. Other women would willingly agree to his proposal but she outrightly refused him. "I'll pay additional 3000 USD a month. Sleep with me."

Stefan placed a signed check on the table to prove to her that he was being serious. Her head was spinning at the large sum of money. With it, she can finally buy her mother's medication and send her brothers to school without any worries. But to sleep with him?

"I am sorry if I come of rude but I really can't sleep with your sir. Just look for someone else." She tried to refuse politely, afraid that she will lose her job if he felt any displeasure towards her.

"Think about my offer carefully. It wasn't bad sleeping with you after all." Stefan stated without a change of expression. He looked like someone who gave her something normal when it was beyond normal. No matter how much she thought about it, he was just insane to propose something like 'sleeping' with him.

It was a mistake she made on her part when she fell asleep right beside him on his bed, drunk and dizzy but, she never meant for anything like that to happen. Cayenne read the terms and conditions of his proposal once again and she realized that she was jumping to conclusions. "Sir, the 'sleep' that you meant is just sleeping right? No hidden meanings? No other motive?"

"I am not like that. True, I have been playing around but I have never slept with anyone. I suffer from insomnia and I really just wanted to sleep normally like everyone else. Last night, it was the first peaceful sleep I ever had for a long time already. And you can say I am selfish but, I just really want to sleep."

For the first time, Cayenne felt pity towards the big devil in front of her. Who would have thought that he would be looking for something so mundane like sleeping? She put down the paper and looked at her boss. "Sir, I am really sorry that you had to go through this length because of your illness. Can you allow me to think about this? After all we are of opposite sex. It may not be a big deal to you but it would be great damage to myself if anyone knows I'm sleeping with you. Don't you think so?"

Stefan nodded his head in understanding. It would really harm her if anyone knew about this kind of stuff. Even if it was just normal sleep between them, other might not think the same thing. She's a woman and it would be bad if she couldn't find anyone to marry because in the future because of him.

"How about this? Uhm…"Stefan thought for a moment after getting her attention. "How about you change your shift to day time and have it done around six in the evening that way, I can pick you up and bring you somewhere, a place where no one knew of."

Cayenne was still adamant about it so she refused his offer. "Alright. Just let me know about your decision. I'll give you one week to think about it." Stefan mentioned to her and took the paper to keep it. It wouldn't be good if anyone sees here holding that kind of proposal.

Cayenne bowed her head and walked out of the room. Just as she was about to step out, Stefan spoke once again. "Yen, I just want you to know that I will never cross your bottom line. I just really want to sleep." Cayenne nodded her head before closing the door.

She didn't have any experience when it comes to dealing with men. The men she knew were her younger brothers and her father who was not at home. Most of her suitors fled after getting a kick from her siblings. It's not because they didn't want their sister to be happy but because they wanted to protect her. They were men as well and by the looks alone, they could tell that they weren't taking Cayenne seriously. It was another reason why Kyle and Luiz secretly studied martial arts. Not really the perfect martial arts but just something that can be used to protect their sister. They were learning karate and jujitsu. It was the only way they could think to protect Cayenne.

Cayenne herself didn't want to involve herself in a relationship. She just wanted to focus her time in earning money and more money for her family. Love from her family was enough for her. She didn't need anything else. Well, she got friends who care about her but it was just until the friend zone. She didn't want anyone to overstep that zone that she placed around.

'If I sleep with my boss, which category will he fall? He is not a friend or a family. He is not an enemy either or a stranger. Then, maybe, a business partner?' She shook her head from side to side to clear his mind. 'There's no way for business partners to sleep with each other.' She told herself as she waited for the elevator to bring her down to the ground floor.

When the elevator opened, a couple of middle age were standing waiting for her to come out. The man was looking at Cayenne while she bowed her head and walked past them. The woman didn't notice her husband's frown on his face. She might not have watched the numbers on the elevator but he didn't need to do that either. He knew that the elevator the woman used was exclusive for the President. That means, she was from Stefan's floor!
