She's My Sleeping Pill

Cayenne read the information that Tristan sent her regarding Chiffon and so far, she didn't find any glaring issues related to them. The only worrying thing she found from the report was the fact that the company had been facing a lot of financial troubles since it was founded.

Although Chiffon was able to survive these difficulties before, this time around might be different. In the past, people would often rely on word of mouth that their customers would spread. However, today's generation relies more on the internet, especially things that celebrities endorse.

Chiffon's founder was very traditional, and he didn't like to use celebrities to advertise their products. In the end, more and more imported products were able to gain a foothold in the country, and people liked them better because of the personalities that endorsed them.

Somehow, Cayenne felt that Chiffon was fortunate enough to fall into the hands of Sabrina's friend – Meridith Chiangco.

Unlike her grandfather, she wasn't so traditional when it came to business. Whenever an opportunity showed up, she would grab it and make use of it to the fullest.

After reading everything, Cayenne called the contact on the business card that Sabrina gave her yesterday. It was Meridith's personal calling card.

Seeing the unknown number on the screen, Meredith didn't pick up the call immediately. She was wondering who was calling her directly because all of her official business calls should have been handled by her secretary.

Only family and friends knew of her personal contact information.

On the third ring, she finally picked up her phone.

"This is Meridith speaking."

"Hi. Uh, this is Cayenne Dumrique calling. I'm calling about - "

"Wait! Wait!"

Cayenne was astounded at the sound coming from the other end of the line. She was sure she heard some glass shattering in the background.

"Are you alright?" Cayenne asked, a little bothered that she might have called the woman at the wrong time. "I can call back if it's inconvenient right now."

"No. No, please hold on," then the call was muted, so Cayenne guessed that the woman was probably asking someone to clean the mess. "I'm back. I'm sorry about that. I accidentally knocked the mug beside me."

"Oh, that's fine. I'm just calling about the job offer. Are you really willing to make me your brand ambassador?" Cayenne continued since she wasn't sure if the current CEO of Chiffon would want her to be their endorser. After all, it was Sabrina who approached her for this favor.

At the other end of the line, Meridith wanted to squeal in glee. She never thought that Cayenne Dumrique would personally contact her regarding this matter. It was truly surprising to her.

"Mrs. Dumrique, I would greatly appreciate it if you would accept our offer. If you don't mind, can we meet up somewhere so we can talk about the contract and other things?"

"Sure. I don't mind," Cayenne said as she looked for a pen and a paper to jot down the time, date, and location of their meeting. As soon as she finished her call, she went back downstairs to continue with her home decoration work.

Two days later, with Jackson accompanying her, Cayenne met Meridith.

Cayenne already knew what the woman looked like based on Tristan's report a few days ago but seeing her in person left Cayenne a different impression.

"Good morning, Ms. Chiangco. Have you been waiting for so long?"

"No. Not at all. I just got here, too. I heard from Sabrina that you like sweets, so I made the appointment here. Don't worry, this café offers great privacy."

The two of them talked about some trivial matters first before delving into their business. It was a way for them to get to know each other a little bit better given the short time of their meeting.

"With the plan you presented and the benefits that it will bring us, is the endorsement fee really enough?" Meridith asked after discussing the contract with Cayenne.

"It's more than enough. I'm not an international actress so you need to pay an exorbitant fee. What matters to me is the 3rd and 4th clauses of the contract."

Meridith smiled with genuine happiness in front of Cayenne as she extended her arm for a handshake. "Rest assured Ms. Yen, we will send you the monthly product gift and donate the stipulated list of products to the orphanages that you have provided once you pass the probationary period."

Cayenne shook the woman's arm in front of her and returned the smile.

Once done with the meeting, instead of going back home, Cayenne went to Clover company to find her husband. It wasn't really something she planned ahead of time, but after meeting with Meridith, she suddenly recalled a lot of things that happened in the past, and for some reason, she wanted to hug her husband.

As soon as she reached the topmost floor, she saw Elena working with a deep frown on her face. She was talking to someone over the phone while typing something on her computer as fast as she could.

But when she looked up and saw Cayenne, her eyes brightened, and she waved her hand.

Cayenne just smiled and placed the cake she had brought for Elene and Tristan on the table.

Of course, she got something for her husband, too.

Stefan was busy reviewing some documents regarding the latest project that his company took when the door to his office was pushed open.

"Hon,"

Stefan was startled for a moment, yet when he saw his wife's face, a wide smile appeared on his face. He really thought he was just hallucinating from missing her so much.

Putting down his pen on his desk, he walked over to her and hugged her for a minute. He just really wanted to breathe in her scent to satisfy himself.

"How was the meeting?" he asked without letting her go.

"It was okay. It went according to my wishes. I just need to pass the probationary period of two months. I don't really mind."

"It's funny how coincidences work," Stefan muttered with a faint laughter in his words. "Someone just called Elena regarding an endorsement work for you. It turned out to be from one of the competitors of Chiffon. They want you so badly. However, you signed with Chiffon already."

"I bet they just want to be on your good side."

"I thought so. Besides, we don't really use their products at home. What's the point of endorsing something we don't like?"

Unknowingly, this other brand that they refused would be a great challenge to Cayenne in the future.
