It took Eric only a night to decide the role May played in his life.
He knew what was more important to him; his relationship with Caro. It was more important than working with May who was good with her job.
Also, after lying awake until the early hours of the morning, thinking, he was finally able to put two and two together; discovering what May's true plan was.
He remembered how the buttons of her shirt came unbuttoned in his car and guessed that she must have done it on purpose.
In other to really see the depth of his life, he asked himself a question, 'If he continued to get close to May and accidents like that or even worse continued to happen, would he be able to stay far away from the temptation?'
As soon as he answered that question, he got back into his duvet and slept.
The answer was 'No' because he was likely to fall into temptation.

The next morning, May trotted into Eric's company in full-blown confidence.
