CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Shane's eyes flashed with excitement at the new offer.

Natalie knew him well enough to know that he had agreed. With a chuckle, she turned her attention back to Joyce. “I'm sacrificing so much for you, Joyce. When we go back, you're going to work extra hard for me.”

At those words, Natalie turned off the light and with an almighty yawn, shut her eyes and drifted off to sleep almost immediately.

It had been a long day for her, after the jet lag and the night of drinking. Her head began to feel heavy for wanting to get some sleep.

The following day, Joyce woke up feeling rejuvenated. She was dumbfounded at the sight of Natalie sleeping next to her.

“Nat, why are you in my bed?” Joyce gave Natalie a shove.

“What's going on?” Natalie mumbled as she opened her bleary eyes.

“You tell me! Why are you in my bed?” Joyce persisted.

Natalie massaged her head as she struggled to sit upright. “You have the nerve to ask me that!” she replied in a huff. “You were so drunk last night that after I'd dropped you off in your room, you cried and clung on to me, insisting that I kept you company.”
