The next day, despite a bad night's sleep, I didn't feel as tired as before. When I got to the office, Samantha greeted me with a huge smile and a hug.

- Girlfriend, I'm waiting for you to have coffee with me. I stopped at a bakery near my house and bought some chocolate chip muffins.

- I love chocolate chip muffins. – I said, giving her a smile. – I'll just leave my bag.

I went into my office, put my bag away, and turned on the computer. Patrício arrived, came over to me, and, holding my hand, asked:

- How is the most beautiful advisor in the world?

- I'm fine, Patrício. Thank you! And I'm sorry for taking up your couch all day yesterday. – I smiled at him.

- Oh, don't apologize! It was really nice working all day looking at such a beautiful woman sleeping on my couch. – He said, winking at me. – Repeat whenever you want.

- You're terrible! I'm going to have a quick coffee with Sam and I'll be back to catch up on everything.

- Cat, relax. Everything's up to date. You're too efficient
