Meredith sat eating lunch with Alyssa and Taylor. Edward was gone again to another meeting. Meredith had been pretty far gone on the alcohol the night before. Edward made sure to sit as close by as possible at all times. He danced and flirted and turned up the drinks for all the girls.
Alyssa wasn't going to let Meredith do something she would regret later. Not knowing that Edward wouldn't allow a drunk Meredith to go after him due to his arrogance, Alyssa set out to save her friend.
Alyssa had Meredith spend the night in her room, which Edward to her surprise encouraged. Alyssa was confused as to what his game was. It was clear that he wanted Meredith badly, enough to blow tens of thousands of dollars on the three of them.
But he wasn't going to attempt to seal the deal. It was almost like he wanted Meredith to come to him. He was dangling himself in front of her like a carrot on a stick until she couldn't take it anymore and took a bite.
