As soon as I saw Edrick sleeping on the other side of my bed, I immediately averted my gaze down at myself to make sure that I was still dressed.

I was still fully clothed… And this time, I knew for a fact that I hadn’t h***ked up with him. I was completely sober when I went to bed, so I would’ve remembered.

So, why was Edrick in my bed?

While I was still processing what was going on, Edrick’s eyes suddenly opened and he stared right at me. I yelped and jumped out of the bed, running to the other side of the room.

“What are you doing in here?” I asked, my voice shaking.

Edrick slowly sat up and looked around, looking equally as confused as I was. “I have no idea,” he said, looking down at himself in the same manner I did; no doubt to also check to make sure he was fully clothed. “I was really drunk last night. I guess I confused your room with mine.”

“Your room is all the way on the other side of the penthouse,” I growled. “And it’s an entirely different layout. You weren’t so drunk that you would have made such an obvious mistake in your own home.”

Edrick was silent for several moments before throwing the covers off of himself and swinging his long legs over the edge of the bed. “I’m sorry,” he said, standing and splaying out his hands with his palms facing outward in a display of surrender. “I really don’t know what happened. Last I remember…”

Edrick said with a laugh. “I don’t have any desire to ‘weasel’ any sort of money out of you. But I do need to sleep, and you seem to be the cure for my insomnia. We can write up a supplemental agreement — in exchange for a salary increase, we’ll
