Edith Qian woke up the next morning with a terrible headache.

She only had a few drinks, but why was her head hurting so much?

Edith blinked her eyes a few times and realized that she had been sleeping in the living room.

The room was slightly lit by the light that came from the kitchen. Edith stared at the ceiling and her mind whirled to think of what had happened last night.

As the memories came to her mind, Edith suddenly sat up straight. A cursing word slipped out of her mouth.

The thick blanket on her body slid down to the floor. Just as she turned to pick it up, Edith began to notice that there was someone else in the living room and that person was watching her every movement in silence.

He was sitting at the one-seater with his legs crossed. His hands clasped together and his elbows rested on the armrest. The way he was staring at her was very domineering.

The air around them turned cold and stiff. Suddenly Edith had a premonition.

"President Mo!" Edith placed a hand on her chest to calm down. She was shocked to find that the first person she saw the moment she woke up was Neil Mo. "Why are you here?"

Neil did not answer and instead thought of what this woman had done and said when she was drunk last night.

This kindergarten teacher had boldly called him Iceblock Mo, pinched his cheek, kissed him on the lips while he was unguarded, and gave him a confession.

He was so dumbfounded by the sudden situation that he did not know how he should react. While Neil Mo stood in the kitchen in silence, the person who had caused the disturbance had returned to the kitchen counter and slept as if nothing had happened. No matter how he tried to wake her up, Edith continued to sleep with her head on the kitchen counter!

He grew frustrated. But in the end, his conscience made him carry her to the sofa in the living room.

The woman was sleeping comfortably on the sofa, but Neil found himself unable to sleep a wink.

His mind kept on repeating the scenes as she pressed her lips against his.

Suddenly, Neil could not help but wonder what the kindergarten teacher was going to do if she woke up. He had this feeling that if he returned to his room and did not confront her the moment she wakes up, this person will avoid him and pretended that last night did not happen.

In the end, Neil chose to sit down on the sofa opposite her as he waited for her to wake up.

Fortunately, she did not have any other strange habit after drinking.

"You're awake," Neil spoke.

Edith immediately looked away the moment their gaze met. She did not know why, Neil's gaze on her was making her uncomfortable.

"Did you remember what happened last night?"

Her movement paused as Edith tried to recall what had happened. "We had a few drinks."

"A few drinks?" His brow shot up. "How many drinks do you think you had last night?"

Her face scrunched as she tried to recall. Slowly, Edith raised her hand, with two fingers up. "Two?"

"Four."

Edith muttered a few cursing words. Her head was telling her that she was done for. Edith knew pretty well what would happen when she drank too much, and now she was worrying that she had said something that had made him upset.

Wasn't that the reason Neil was sitting across her with a scary look on his face?

Neil saw the look on her face and frowned. "You… Don't you remember what happened?"

Edith swallowed her saliva. "I don't know. All I remember was that we had a few drinks and then… you told me that you are not going to fire me. Then, I went to sleep."

Right. Didn't she return to her room after she had finished cleaning up the kitchen? Why was she sleeping in the living room?

A look of doubt crossed his face and Neil wondered if Edith was only pretending that she could not remember a thing.

"President Mo, I swear. That is all I remember." Her voice grew smaller as she met his angry gaze. Her mind was internally screaming as she still could not remember what she had done last night.

Finally, Edith took a deep breath and gathered her courage. "President Mo, what did I do?"

"You—" Neil stopped himself before he could mention what she had done.

Suddenly, Neil began to think that it was better if Edith had forgotten what had happened last night.

Neil Mo has been confessed to many times, and each time, he had rejected the confession on the spot. However, towards Edith's confession, he did not know what he should think or do.

He did not want to reject her nor give hope to her.

Neil was afraid that if he had mentioned that she had kissed and confessed to him when she was drunk, things would become awkward between the two of them. After all, he still needed her to look after Hazel and they have to stay under the same roof for another month.

Perhaps letting her remained clueless would be the best decision.

Neil stared at her with a doubtful gaze. "Did you really not remember a thing, or were you pretending that you could not remember what you have done?"

"President Mo, I wouldn't dare to pretend. Please… Just tell me. What did I do? I am aware that sometimes I do absurd things when I got drunk."

He stared at her with his scrutinizing gaze. Neil tried to figure out whether she was telling him the truth, and by the look on her face, Neil thought that Edith had really forgotten what she had done.

"You called me Iceblock Mo." Neil enunciated each word slowly. His gaze stayed on the woman in front of him, observing her every move and expression.

Edith's face turned pale as she muttered another curse under her breath. "President Mo! I'm sorry!" Her face turned red and she was becoming flustered.

She had called him Iceblock Mo and he was angry. At this time, there was nothing else that Edith wanted to do than knock her head on a pillar.

She might as well die from embarrassment!

Edith raised her head to look at Neil as she waited for him to continue. Somehow, she had the feeling that she had done something worst than that, but her brain could not recall what it was.

"President Mo, is that all?"

Neil raised a brow at her. "Were you wishing that you have said and done something worst?"

"No!" Edith waved her hand to deny. "Of course not."

Seeing the way she was reacting, Neil was finally convinced that Edith was not acting when she told him that she could not remember anything after she cleaned up everything and go to sleep.

Edith shut her eyes tightly and clenched her hands into fists. "President Mo, don't worry, I will pack up my stuff and leave quickly."

"Where are you going?"

"Of course, I'm going back to A City." Edith looked at him with her pitiful gaze.. "Weren't you going to fire me after what I have done? I just hope that you can let me explain to Hazel."
