She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 725

Chapter 725: TRIP TO LONDON II

Cayenne and Stefan visited Legoland right after having their late lunch and bought so many toys for the kids close to them. Unlike them, Savannah and Shein were busy meeting people for business purposes.

The next day, after visiting Kew Gardens and having fun at Chessington, they shopped for a change of clothes to look presentable during their meeting with that someone whom Stefan refused to say the name.

Around 4:00 in the afternoon, the two of them made their way to Hamilton Drive where you can see the newly constructed Georgian townhouses. Cayenne was awestruck with the beautiful houses that they passed by but she still thought that no one can beat the design of Jillyanna’s home after it was expanded by Travis.

Currently, the house that her father gifted her was nothing compared to these houses that she saw in terms of size but in her heart, that house was the most beautiful and warm.

“We’re here.” Stefan stated when he stopped in front of a huge white gate. “Let’s just wait for the guard to confirm our visit. This will be a huge deal for you.”

“What do you mean? Did you bring me here for work?”

“You’ll know later on.”

.....

And that later came too soon which caught Cayenne in a whirlwind of surprise and pressure. She already met a lot of bigshots but standing in front of these two internationally known people, she couldn’t stop herself from trembling.

“You’ve got to be kidding me.” Cayenne whispered to Stefan while poking his waist a little. She just couldn’t believe that he would set her up with these two people.

“You don’t have to feel pressured in front of us. We’re close friends with Stefan and Travis so, there’s no need to be so formal.”

Monet Lhuillier, a well-known designer that many people looked up to. She designed clothes for celebrities and royalties for over five years and her striking journey started when she was in highschool. Her teacher discovered that she has talent for designs and asked if she could design a gown for her sister’s wedding. From then on, her journey started and brought her to where she is today.

“I agree with Monet.” The man said with a bright smile on his lips. He was Thomas Aizenberg. He was known for his beautiful photography and in fact, he was the person who taught Stefan little things when it comes to taking pictures. His works received many awards such as Pulitzer Prize for Photography and Moscow International Photography Award. He worked with well-known magazines as well as fashion designers.

“Even if you say that – ”

“Come now.” Monet interrupted knowing that Cayenne would only make excuses. “You are Stefan’s wife. Don’t think too much about our names. In this house, we are just ordinary people who like to hang out.”

“Right! Stefan said that you love to cook. Shall we set up an outdoor barbecue? It would be great to talk about things over some food.” Thomas added and before Cayenne could even say anything, he already grabbed Stefan to go out and make preparations.

And voila! They’re gone from her sight.

“Let’s go to the kitchen and get some ingredients. I also have sweets that we can eat.”

“Really? I love sweets.”

“And so I’ve heard.”

The two of them looked at each other and laughed. Friendship is beautiful when two beautiful souls met without for the very first time. They might face challenges that could alter their bonds but only time can tell. Right now, Cayenne just wanted to treasure her moments with these people whom she met for the first time.

“Let’s bring the ingredients outside first. Then, let’s leave it to them and I’ll give you a tour of my place.”

“Your house is beautiful.” Cayenne told Monet as they walked from the kitchen to the front yard where the boys set up the barbecue grill. “How long have you been staying here. The house looks new.”

“I bought this house about five years ago since I often travel here. When I’m not around, there are helpers who maintained the cleanliness of this house.”

“I see. Stefan didn’t tell me anything before coming here so I don’t know much about you and Thomas.”

“It’s fine. Stefan wouldn’t tell you anything unless he’s going to meet that person. Also, it’s better to talk about your friend if that person is also around, right?”

“You are right.”

“By the way, I heard you went to Cebu last time. When I heard about it, I was so upset because I was here for work. I could have showed you around the province.”

“You know Cebu as well?”

“I grew up there.”

“Really?!”

The two of them hit it off and became good friends since Cayenne was very fond of the island in the Philippines. Monet was also proud of her origin and told Cayenne about so many stories from where she grew up.

In the end, Stefan sulked because Cayenne got to spend more time with Monet than him. No one could understand how he calculates quality time with her when he always gets more time to spend with his wife than everybody else.

An hour later, the four of them sat around the table with so many food and drinks. Since it was only once in a while, Cayenne agreed for Stefan to drink booze.

“My wife is the prettiest.” Stefan muttered while looking at Cayenne with heavy-lidded eyes. She wasn’t sure if he was drunk or not because he always says this compliment to her.

Monet rolled her eyes and took a sip of her wine. “You are the only married person here. Duh!”

Cayenne shifted her eyes between Thomas and Monet with a surprise look covering her face. She didn’t expect that.

“We are successful when it comes to business but we are not successful enough to find the person we could spend the rest of our lives with.” Thomas added with a faint smile. “But I know that she’s somewhere out there.”

“You may have met her already but turned a blind eye.” Monet commented at his statement.

For some reason, Cayenne felt something in the air. [It was just my imagination, right?]
