Edith really wanted to admit that she did not remember anything, but the expression on Neil's face made her think that she needed to think things carefully. Edith continued to watch Neil as she was trying to figure out what she was going to do next, 

At this time, Neil pushed over the quilt cover and get up from the bed. Suddenly, there was a loud thud behind him. Turning around, Neil grew anxious when he saw Edith disappeared from the bed.

There was a loud groan. When Neil reached her side, Edith was laying on the carpeted floor as she continued to massage her head.

"What happened to you?" Neil inched closer. "How did you fell off the bed?"

Edith looked up and gasped as her gaze met with Neil's shirtless top. "Why… why are you not wearing a shirt?"

She was too shocked upon seeing that topless torso that she had accidentally rolled off the bed and hit her head on the floor. Fortunately, they were carpeted.

He crouched down beside her and smiled. "You really don't remember anything, do you? You took it off from me last night, saying that you wanted to touch me."

Her eyes widened. "No way, I am not such a hooligan."

"Really?" Neil sneered. He pointed at a spot on his shoulder. "You bite on my shoulder last night, saying that you want revenge for leaving a mark on your neck, did you not remember that as well?" His hand then moved to point at a few different spots. "Here. Here. You bit me over here as well. You said you wanted to touch me everywhere.."

Edith sucked in a deep breath upon looking at the reddened spots on his body. There was even one tiny spot just below his Adam's apple! The scene in front of her showed how much she was enjoying her night and did not think of the consequences of what will happen when she woke up in the morning.

"Then… why didn't you stop me?"

"Do you think I can stop you?" Neil raised a brow. "Last night, I was the damsel in distress while someone else was acting like a villainess. You know very well how strong you are. You can take down a man bigger than you without any problem. Every time I tried to restrain you, you would retaliate against my move and do just as you like."

Edith's Qian, what have you done?

She did not expect that she could turn into a beast when she was drunk! This was the first time that anything like that happened.

Her brain reprocessed the words he spoke and suddenly her face turned red.

Touching him everywhere…

Does that mean that she had touched some forbidden place as well? Would that explain why her hands felt as if they won't be listening to her command anymore?

Suddenly, she was embarrassed to face Neil.

Her brain quickly processed everything and Edith flashed him a timid smile. "Darling, I'm sorry. The last thing I remember was watching my grandpa leaving with the others. Then, everything became hazy."

Edith mentally cursed herself. She had the chance to look everywhere and touch everywhere, but she could not remember a thing! This was too frustrating!

A teasing smile appeared on his lips. "Then, do you want me to help you recreate what happened last night?"

Her face turned a few shades redder. "No. No. That's not necessary." There was a brief silence between them before Edith spoke again, "I-I promise I will not drink too much again."

Neil took a deep breath and stretched his hand to pull her up. "It's fine." The smile on his face clearly showed that he was enjoying whatever happened last night. "You can drink as much as you want to as long as you are with me."

…

When Edith showed up at the kindergarten in the morning, her best friend, Lily, was waiting for her outside the gate. Her eyes grew wide as she gave Edith a look from head to toe.

"Edith, are you alright?"

"Of course I'm alright. What's wrong? Why are you asking such a question in the morning?"

Lily turned to look at the two underage children beside them. After urging them to enter their classroom first, Lily pulled Edith to a corner and began her interrogation. "What happened after you left the restaurant last night?"

Edith stared at her friend with her eyes wide, wondering how did Lily know that she was at the restaurant last night.

"You don't know how freaked out I was when I suddenly received a message from President Mo, asking me to meet you both at the restaurant."

"Why did my darling asked you to meet us at the restaurant?"

"My darling?" Lily felt the corner of her lips twitched. She quickly got over that endearing terms and explained what Neil had asked her to do last night.

Seeing that her girlfriend had drunk a little bit too much, Neil had asked for Lily's help and acted as a decoy so that her grandfather and the others will not worry about leaving Edith in her condition. Edith has not told her grandfather that she was now living together with Neil, and Neil wanted to save trouble for his girlfriend. Therefore, Lily had to step in.

Everything was easier for them as it was not the first time that Edith had stayed over at Lily's place and her grandfather trusted Lily very much.

Thinking of her considerate boyfriend, a smile curled on her lips. 

"Are you sure you're alright?" A curious look flashed on her face and that concerned look was suddenly transformed into a teasing look. "Don't tell me that nothing happened between you and President Mo last night?"

Edith blinked innocently. "I was drunk and quickly passed out when we arrived. What could happen?"

…

Meanwhile, back in MH Group Headquarters...

Assistant Shawn, along with others who worked closely with Neil had long noticed that their boss was in a very good mood.

Earlier, one of them had made a mistake in their report, but instead of flying into a rage as he would usually do, President Mo had given that person a few pointers on how to make things better.

This scene shocked everyone and soon, various rumors started to fly around as they tried to figure out the reason for his sudden change.

Assistant Shawn had heard a lot of gossips, but none of them were near to the truth. A lot of them had thought that President Mo's good mood could be associated with the company winning an important tender.

He knew that the reason behind his boss' good mood was related to his girlfriend. After all, that marking just under his Adam's apple was quite clear. He had seen those similar markings before and knew what are they.

However, President Mo had the audacity to tell everyone else that he was bitten by a bug! To think that everyone else would believe his words...

Assistant Shawn massaged his neck area, feeling slightly tired. He knocked on the door and walked in into the office to see his boss sat down behind his desk, working diligently in such a good mood.

He let out a cough to get his boss' attention and slid a document on the table. Assistant Shawn watched as his boss scribbled his signature on the paper and retrieved the documents.

"President Mo, a representative from GINA asked whether you would be attending their function this weekend," Assistant Shawn spoke.

"I'm not going. I have another plan this weekend."

Assistant Shawn nodded and was about to leave when he heard his boss called his name again.

"This function, they will be held in Capital City, correct?"

"Yes."

Neil tapped his fingers on his desk and suddenly smiled. "Tell them that I will be attending."

Assistant Shawn thought that his change of mind was too sudden, but knew that he was not in the position to ask. "Certainly, President Mo." He nodded. "I will help you book your flight."

"Hmm." Neil nodded. "Book a ticket for Edith and Hazel as well.. They are both coming with me on this trip."
