She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 880: WENT VIRAL

Cayenne checked the time on her watch from time to time. She already prepared everything to resolve this matter on her own and Tristan promised to come with her. She didn't have anything to worry about except her husband.

As they continued to interview the applicants, the stack of folders in front of Cayenne increased. These were the portfolio of those applicants who had higher chances of getting hired.

"It seemed to me that the line is getting longer," Jackson commented when he came back from getting a cup of coffee. He also brought a bottle of water for the rest of the interviewers except for Cayenne who brought her own customized tumbler with her favorite milkshake inside it. Jackson remembered it was matching to the tumbler that Stefan was holding earlier.

[He was the first CEO I know who brings a cute tumbler to work. It doesn't match his image.] Jackson thought while controlling his facial expression.

"We only need a few people but there are so many applicants," Kyle said next to his sister.

"That's fine. This is just the first screening," Cayenne said which everyone agreed. "The people who pass this interview will go through another screening. Don't worry."

Outside the recruitment room, hundreds of people lined up for the job. Since it was taking a while, Cayenned told one of her staff to prepare chocolate bars and placed it outside the room. She thought it might help the applicants get some boost of energy.

They could also get free coffee, milk, or juice if they wanted to. There were sandwiches as well if one wanted to eat. They could even heat it if they like. Based on her experience as someone who applied to different kinds of jobs, some applicants don't even have money for food. She wanted to help as much as she could.

This hospitality for a job interview went viral in a few minutes after one of the applicants posted a video of the long line of people waiting for their turn to get interviewed while others made coffee, ate sandwiches, unwrapped their chocolates, and just sat there comfortably as if they weren't looking for work.

Among all the big shots in the industry, only Cayenne thought of doing such a thing, and to think that she was only managing a charity foundation. It wasn't even a business where she could get some profit, but she was doing really well.

SkinWhite123: "Who said that Cayenne has a bad personality? Those who kept bashing her, did you even try to help others like her?"

Aqualover; "Mrs. Dumrique came from a humble family and she knew how tiring it is to look for a job. That is why she's doing this. She empathizes with these people."

Riley_Season (verified): "You always think of others before yourself which is why your husband would only think of you. Hehe. I'm so proud of you Yenyen."

Denied_his_Ending: "I always thought that she was just using her husband's fame, but now that I think about it, she did nothing but help others who needed help. I'm a fan of her now."

Employee 1: "That's our lady boss. Those who get hired will be so lucky."

Employee 2: "Only a woman like our madam deserves our chairman."

Amidst all this, Cayenne was just doing work. She had no clue that people were talking about her and she got more followers and subscribers on her social media accounts.

The interview went on, but around 10:20 AM, Cayenne took a short break to call Stefan. The phone kept ringing but her husband didn't answer her at all. She tried it again and again, but Stefan didn't pick up her call even once. So, she tried calling Elena who should be with him at the moment.

"Don't answer," Stefan said when Elena told him that Cayenne was calling her. "Let her worry for a minute since she kept this matter from me."

Elena sighed helplessly and ignored the phone call. If Cayenne gets upset later, she will tattletale him to her boss to her. [I'm not the one who wanted to ignore her, alright?] She thought while feeling a little guilty.

On the other hand, Cayenne was getting worried. This was the first time that this ever happened to her – Stefan not answering her call. No matter where he was, who he was with, and what he was doing; whenever she calls him, he would answer her or if she was texting him, he would reply to her.

"Why are they not answering my call?" Cayenne muttered while looking at the numbers on her screen. Left with no other choice, she went out to look for Tristan in his office. She wanted to see with her own eyes where her husband was. "I'll be right back," she said and left in a hurry.

She didn't care about her image at all and just ran as fast as she could to the elevator area.

Floor 1... Floor … 3... 4... 5

Ding!

Cayenne stood there in surprise. As soon as the elevator opened, Stefan came out and hugged her tightly. She didn't know what was wrong with him, but she wrapped her arms around his waist and returned the hug.

"Wifey."

"Hn?"

"I'm upset."

Somehow, Cayenne got a bad feeling about his words. She knew a certain someone who could upset her husband – herself. "Uhh... what did I do this time that upsets you?"

"I'm sorry. I didn't know that - "

"So, you knew that you did something to upset me,"

Cayenne lost to him. Her guilty conscience loses to him. [There's something about Rey that I'm keeping from him and the p*rn actress who looked like me. Which of these is he talking about?] Cayenne asked herself while looking at Elena behind Stefan to ask for help.

Stefan pulled away from his wife and narrowed his gaze at her. "Why are you not answering?"

"Uh... I knew I … can we talk somewhere else?" Cayenne said after hesitating for a long time. She needed to come clean to him right now or she would upset him even more.

Meanwhile, the applicants who were watching on the sideline felt like they were watching a K-drama or a C-drama. They were only missing the popcorn.
