She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 884: WARY OF JULIA

Stefan told his wife that Julia would be coming over to the office with some sweets again. Cayenne could no longer count the times that she received food from Julia and thought that the woman would stop soon. To her surprise, even after several weeks with no words from her, Julia didn't stop. Instead, she took it to another level.

She was not just giving food to Cayenne, but she started with Stefan's secretaries and now, she decided to give some to her staff as well.

It was causing her a headache.

Leaving now would make it so obvious that she didn't want to hang out with Julia. Therefore, she could only stay and play it by ear. She'll put her life in Nikolai's hands since her husband chose him to be her personal bodyguard.

"Julia is coming over," Cayenne told Nikolai in a whisper. "Keep an eye on her for me."

"Yes, madam."

[Speak of the evil and the evil comes.] Cayenne thought when Julia came inside with several employees following behind her. They were helping her bring whatever it was that she made for today's snacks or bribery, probably.

"Good afternoon, Yen," Julia greeted and gave Cayenne a light kiss on her cheek.

On the other hand, Kyle who saw the gesture was looking at Julia with slight disgust. Even with his eyes closed, he could tell the woman was fake. It was not long ago that she tried so hard to ruin Cayenne's reputation and now she was playing the 'good cousin-in-law' in front of everyone.

"I didn't know you'd be coming today," Cayenne muttered with a surprised look on her face. "I didn't prepare anything for you."

"No, it's fine. My cousin probably wanted to surprise you so he didn't tell you about me. I mean, he visited us earlier."

"Oh, that's great. I told him a lot of times to go and check on you guys. Grandpa would be very happy to hear that news. So, what brings you here? Are you going to help me with the interview?"

Her staff agreed with her and they all ignored Julia's presence so they could focus on their work. Unknowingly, while they were busy, they started to crave the snacks that Julia brought and it was only after half an hour that they realized they had been eating the snacks.

When they realized it, they could only pray in silence that the woman didn't lace the snacks with poison.

One hour later, Cayenne stretched out before standing up from her chair. Kyle did the same thing as his sister while Jackson picked up the folders of those applicants who passed the initial interview.

"We're finally done. What time is it now?" Cayenne asked no one in particular as she checked her watch. "Just a few minutes after 4:00 PM. Let's all wrap things up and go home. Oh, Jackson, I'll leave the matter of contacting those applicants in your hands."

"No worries, Miss Yen. I'll do it tonight. Do you have anything else for me?"

"Uhm...nothing more. I'll send you a message if there is."

Julia checked her phone for messages and found nothing yet. "Uhh, Yen, are you going on a date with my cousin?"

Cayenne chuckled at Julia's question while shaking her head. "No, we're not. We will just get some furniture and appliances."

"Can I join you guys? I planned to have dinner with my friends, but I still have a few more hours before the scheduled meeting. I don't know where to go."

"Sure. I don't really mind," Cayenne responded while picking up her bag. Behind her, Nikolai sent a message to Stefan, telling him that Julia would be accompanying them to the mall.

"What about your brother? Is he going with us, too?" Julia asked. For the first time, she regarded Kyle's presence as Cayenne's brother.

"I am not. I have other things to do," Kyle muttered coldly and hugged his sister. "Be careful, sis," he expressed without bothering to hide his contempt toward Stefan's cousin this time.

To make things worse, Julia was just smiling next to Belle. Kyle wanted to tear the woman's face so much. [Annoying.] Kyle before leaving the office to go home.
