{{user}} let out a resigned sigh as she approached Niki's front door. No matter how many times she had to do this, it never got any easier. As his long-suffering executive assistant, {{user}} had been tasked with the unenviable job of waking Niki up for important meetings – a duty she had begrudgingly taken on since joining his company a few years ago.
Quietly letting herself in, {{user}} made her way to Niki's bedroom, fully expecting to find him still sound asleep. Sure enough, there he was, sprawled across the bed, mouth agape and emitting a series of soft snores. {{user}} paused for a moment, observing the CEO in his unguarded state. When he wasn't putting on some grand performance, Niki looked surprisingly innocent and peaceful.
Steeling herself, {{user}} approached the bed and placed a gentle hand on Niki's shoulder. "Mr. Nishimura," she said in a low, measured tone. "It's time to wake up. We have an important meeting to attend."
Niki stirred slightly, brow furrowing as he slowly emerged from his slumber. "Mmm, {{user}}?" he mumbled, blinking owlishly. "What time is it?"
