"Are you going to the office now?" asked Nate while watching Erica who was busy getting ready.

"Yes. I've ordered an Uber and he's waiting in front of the house," Erica replied.

"Uber?" Nate furrowed his brow. He got out of bed and approached his wife. "You're not going to the office by car?" he asked.

Erica shook her head. "No, I'm not. It's grandma's car. And I can't use it all the time. Besides, many people need to use it. So I'd rather order an Uber to go to the office. After all, I won't be using it while I'm at the office either," Erica explained.

Nate was silent. It must be really hard being Erica. Since she became CEO, she had to take care of all the problems that occurred in the company, related to debt, and all other crises alone. As the new CEO, Erica was tasked with solving all the problems. And of course, with all the debts the company had, it was difficult for Erica's family financially.

"Are you sure you'll be okay using Uber to get to work?" Nate asked.

It was clearly written, but Erica still couldn't believe what she was saying.She looked at Nate once more with a furrowed brow. How could he afford a car when he wasn't rich? He even struggled to buy whatever he wanted, and he wasn't a businessman or an office worker who could probably afford a new car after a few months of saving. As far as Erica was concerned, Nate had no savings or steady job that would allow him to accumulate enough money to buy a car."Nate, where did you get the money to buy that car?" Erica asked in a low voice. She tried not to insinuate Nate or hurt his feelings with her question."Maybe he stole the money from the bank," John chuckled. He laughed the loudest of all the people there. And Nate was annoyed that John kept putting him down in front of everyone.Everyone must have taken what John said seriously bec

    Nate stared at the arriving police with a look of disbelief. It had only been a few minutes since Nancy had left and now the police were about to arrest him. It seemed like Nancy was crazy for daring to make trouble with him, with accusations that were not true. And she didn't know his true identity, so she would definitely get her comeuppance for messing with him."Are you Nate?" the policeman asked Nate with a displeased expression on his face."That's right. He's a thief, you'd better drag him to jail immediately and this time don't let him get away!" Nancy exclaimed furiously. She even pointed at Nate's face with anger on her face. It made everyone there believe that Nate had stolen company funds to buy the car he gave to his wife."How pathetic.""Looks like he really stole company funds.""Has no shame.""That's right.

I will listen to your every problem, Nate," Flo said with a smile. She wiped her lips because she felt some food residue sticking to them, but Nate quickly grabbed a tissue and gave it to Flo.

    Nate was really upset that day. He didn't even focus on work anymore after learning that Nick Lawson was the man who was with Erica in the photo. Nate didn't know how far their relationship had gone, but Nate had no idea that Erica was so close to this man named Nick that they could go out together until Nick Lawson opened the car door for her.A man would do something like that if he had a special relationship with a woman. Because it indicates that the man cares and cares about his woman.And every time Nate remembers the scene in the photo, he always feels upset and angry. Nate had to find out what their relationship was like and why Erica didn't tell him and lied to him about his work. While in reality, she was having fun spending time with Nick Lawson."Damn, this problem makes me dizzy so I'm not in the mood to do all my work today," Nate said to himself while slamming the document he had been checking before he signed it.He then looked at the time on the top right screen of hi

    "Do you need me to find out more about these businessmen, Mr. Nate? So you can decide which companies are free from corruption. Because right now, it's hard to find a company that doesn't do anything dirty," Morgan suggested."Instead of doing that, I want to ask you something," Nate said. He looked at Morgan for a long time. He was confused about whether he should ask and tell Morgan about his relationship with Erica, which was currently on the rocks. It's been a few days, even more than a week they fought and Nate doesn't know what he should do to make their relationship better again.Morgan frowned in confusion because Nate was suddenly silent and did not continue his words and instead daydreamed. Lately, she felt that Nate looked very sad."Sir, what did you want to ask? Why are you suddenly silent?" Morgan asked."Oh! Yeah, I... I wanted to ask you something about....""About Miss Erica?" asked Morgan, who quickly interrupted Nate's speech. She smiled when she saw the surprise on

But Erica just left. Nate didn't even know when Erica left and what she left with.It was the same when she came home. Erica didn't call him at all to ask him to pick her up.

    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. Of course, she would not let her hard work go to waste. That's
