“Did you ever think you could’ve killed me of a heart attack?” Valeria said, and Nick froze.

He looked up from the reports and saw her, very comfortable on the couch where he had left her asleep.

“Umm... you woke up.”

“No, I hope I'm still asleep, or else someone will have a very bad time,” she threatened him, and Nick shook his head with a smile as he got up from the chair.

“I was just trying to help, troublemaker,” he assured, coming over and crouching in front of her.

“I told you not to call me that! The other day, when all the reports were ready in the morning, was that you, too?”

Nick shrugged. “You needed help.”

“So why did you stop being the CEO of this company?” Valeria said, annoyed.

“Because it was always my position for being the majority shareholder. I just wanted to earn my place this time. But that doesn't mean I can't help you.”

“Well, you can tell during daytime, like normal people, Nick!” she snarled at him.

“You weren't going to accept my help,” he told her.
