Nate was surprised to see that Erica hadn't gone to bed when it was already one o'clock in the morning. And Nate didn't know that Erica was waiting for him in the living room.

"Why aren't you asleep yet?" asked Nate, walking up to Erica. He reached out his hand to touch Erica's hand, but she brushed it away.

"I asked you, why did you just come home?" Erica asked again with an annoyed expression on her face. She crossed her arms over her chest. Staring at Nate who said nothing. "Nate, I'm talking to you," she said firmly.

Nate didn't know what to say to her. They had just fought. Even their relationship was still awkward. He didn't want to tell her what had happened because he was afraid Erica would misunderstand him. Moreover, he had no proof at all.

Nate swept his face with the palm of his hand. He let out a long breath and looked at Erica.

    That day, Erica had a lot of work to do. After being dropped off by Nate, she went straight to her office, preparing some documents before she attended a meeting at nine in the morning with the staff. They were also discussing the ongoing evaluation.Erica organized everything as best she could so that no mistakes would be made and everyone would get a good score on their evaluations. Because Erica didn't want any bad comments about her staff where her grandmother was. Because that would show what kind of leader Erica was in the company and how she managed her office staff.Because if the office staff had bad evaluations, of course, it was the leader who had the problem. And if that happens, it is not impossible for her grandmother to revoke Erica's position as CEO of the Starry White company.Erica had earned the position of CEO at the Starry White company with the persistence and hard work that she had done desperately.
