i woke up to see the familiar screen in front of me.

[would you like to receive your rewards now?]

[yes / no] i waved away the screen, grinning to myself. i'd done it. i'd stamped quinn adams. even if the deal fell through, i won't lose cooper real estate.

my eyes turned to the empty bed beside me. where was quinn?

i sat up with a yawn, stretching. i was still naked under the cover.

after our rather eventful night, i'd gotten the notification to receive the rewards then but with the nausea and vomiting warning, i wouldn't be taking any chances.

i glanced at the bedside table, grabbing my phone off it. it was seven thirty in the morning.

"you're up." quinn walked out of the bathroom, a towel around her body with another binding her hair.

"good morning." i grinned at her.

"good morning." she smiled at me, picked up her clothes and began dressing in front of the mirror.

i watched her, a smile playing on my lips. i wouldn't be averse to this being a regular thing.

she noticed me staring in the mirror and smiled that smile women gave that made you know something was up.

i wiped the smile off my face, sitting up straight. "what's wrong?" i asked.

she finished dressing before answering. "my mother has different set of rules." she began. "some i agree with and some that i don't."

i listened, not saying anything.

"and while i never did understand the need for some, there's one i can understand now." she paused. "never mix business with pleasure."

ah. so that was what this was about.

"while i won't say last night was a mistake, it definitely wasn't," she smiled at me, "it can't happen again."

i nodded. "i understand."

quinn smiled sadly at me. "while i'm grateful to you, nico, for making me realize i had to take control of my own life, this is my life we're talking about."

i took my seat and called up the screen back in front of me.

[would you like to receive your rewards now?]

[yes / no] i clicked yes and the system began its work.

[calculating reward...]

that was when the headache arrived. i'd braced myself for it but it was somehow worse than the previous one.

then the dizziness hit. my vision swam and i leaned back in the chair, closing my eyes. it turned out to be a big mistake.

the bile rose and it took me a few precious seconds to rise out of my chair. i scrambled towards the bathroom on the ground floor and the dizziness chose that moment to go crazy.

i stumbled, falling to my knees. then, i vomited all over the floor.

"fuck." i moaned in pain. i should've done this in the bathroom.

i stumbled away from my own vomit, the headache and dizziness slowly disappearing. i'll have to clean this up later.

[liabilities calculated.]

[debts calculated.]

i crossed my fingers, hoping quinn didn't have a large enough debt. she wouldn't have taken on a huge debt to finance this deal, would she?

[net worth: minus 150 million dollars.]

[reward: minus 1.5 billion dollars.]

"ah, shit."

in order to properly explain what just happened, i am adding this note. quinn has a net worth of $50 million. and she has a debt of $200 million. she however haven't received the money, only the debt. therefore, quinn's net worth was calculated as minus $150 million and multiplied ten times, that's minus $1.5 billion.
