She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 686

Chapter 686: HIS DOUBT WAS CONFIRMED

As soon as she finished her morning class, Cayenne left the campus to meet with Stefan. She smiled brightly upon laying her eyes on him and she ran into his warm embrace. “What’s the matter? You look worried about something.” She inquired after giving him a smack on the lips. “I hope it’s not related to me again.”

“Let’s get inside the car first.” He said and led her to their vehicle. Some students looked at them enviously but nobody said anything. No matter what they say, it wouldn’t change anything between Cayenne and Stefan. They would only waste their time on something they couldn’t control. It’s better to shut their mouth and keep their opinions to themselves.

Once they got inside the car, Cayenne hugged him and leaned her head on him. “So, what’s bothering you?”

Tristan only glanced at them through the rearview mirror and finally drove out of the campus premises. He even caught Stefan looking at him.

“Boss, are you still bothered about her resignation?”

Cayenne frowned upon hearing it and it didn’t take long for her to realize who Tristan was talking about. Aside from Elena, she didn’t know anyone else who can get his attention. “So, why is she resigning?”

“I’ll have to talk to her about that. I told her to come and meet me in the office.”

.....

Tristan didn’t say anything. It’s obvious that he was the reason and he didn’t need them to point that out.

“Another thing.” Stefan looked at Tristan once again and continued, “Are you really sure that your ex-fiancé died?”

Tristan and Cayenne: “What do you mean?”

They had the same reaction and response at the same time which made Stefan glare at his secretary. He didn’t want anyone else to be synchronized with his wife.

“Stop glaring at him.” Cayenne pointed out with a helpless smile. “It’s not the right time to get jealous over this trivial matter. Just what do you mean with your question?”

“Tristan, remember that you are driving. Keep your cool together.” Stefan reminded him to ensure he won’t accidentally step on the break and get them in an accident. “I think your ex-fiancé didn’t die. I saw someone who looked so much like Elena. If she wasn’t pregnant, I would really think it was Elena.”

Tristan gripped the steering wheel to control himself while Cayenne sat there with her mouth gaping in shock. She knew her husband wouldn’t joke with this kind of thing which means, Elena’s sister could really be alive.

“That’s impossible,” Tristan muttered as he slowed down the speed of the car. “I saw her. I even held her body. She really died.”

“Then, you might want to reinvestigate this matter. Because if she’s really alive, she will only worsen the problem you are having right now. You are already in a pinch with Elena, one wrong step and you will lose her. But you have my full support if you still want to pursue her.”

Cayenne was silent in her seat. After spending so much time with Elena and Tristan, knowing they got her back whenever something happens, Cayenne felt so close to both of them already. She knew how much Elena loves Tristan and vice versa but with the reemergence of his ex, would he still feel the same?

“Wait!” Cayenne exclaimed which caught the attention of the three men inside the car including the bodyguard. “You said that she was pregnant, right? So, she already found someone else.”

“Did you think I’m so fickle to go back to her after all these years? If she’s really alive, I would only ask why she deceived us but I won’t be getting back together with her. I have buried my feelings already and I have moved on.”

Cayenne nodded her head in silence and shrugged her shoulders. She really wanted the two of them to get together but if one of them gives up, she couldn’t really do anything about it.

[I hope Elena has thought this through.] Cayenne told herself mentally.

They had their lunch at the company and right after that, she joined her class via zoom and Stefan continued with work. Even though they have eliminated the danger that Napoleone brought to them, Stefan continued their current setup for Cayenne’s safety.

Some of her classmates think that she gets special treatment because of her set up but when they found out that her attendance points were deducted every time she attends class via zoom, they finally understood the fairness of the school. To compensate for these points that she lost, she studied really hard to get higher grades during exams. At least, it could stretch her marks a little. She’s not vying to graduate with flying colors, she only wanted to finish her degree.

Stefan wasn’t really asking her to be at the top of her class. He only wanted her to do her best so that she won’t have any regret once she graduates. After all, he only told her to go back to school in order to distract her from thinking about having babies.

***

In the evening, Cayenne and Stefan went to Justin’s home again to attend the vigil. Surprisingly, Elena was also present this time. However, Tristan was still in his office, reinvestigating the death of his ex-fiancé.

Since the Dragon Gang have been exterminated, most of their members were sent to jail, others died during the pursuit. It would be difficult to know who was really involved with the death of his ex-fiancé.

Tristan rubbed his face in displeasure before he continued to look for clues. Hacking one of the orbiting satellites, he used the photographic scanner to search for people who has the same face as Elena. Several people popped up with a resemblance and three women stood out among them.

Elena’s information popped up as well as his ex-fiancé’s info which showed the date of her death. The last one was someone who has the same birthdate as Elena and it showed she was an orphan.

Feeling something was wrong with this person’s info, Tristan asked for help from Shein to resolve things a lot faster compared to him doing it alone.

After 2 hours, Shein submitted the result of his investigation and Tristan added it to what he had discovered as well.

He didn’t really want to believe that she could deceive the people who loved her so much but with the information in hand, Tristan’s face darkened in anger.

He grabbed his bag and keys before running towards the elevator. He needed to settle this matter before facing Elena. And to him, it would be better that his pure-hearted lover won’t meet her deceiving sister. He didn’t want her to get tainted.
