Oops! My Escort Is A Mafia Don - Chapter 85: Chapter 85

Dylan thought his theory made perfect sense. He mused, 'Why else would Julian stay at my place? Obviously, he just wants to get close to me. It makes it easier to make a move.
'No wonder when Chloe called me 'honey,' he was so pissed that he kicked her across the room and knocked me over too.
'He was jealous and had to punish Chloe. And I got knocked over because I defended her, so Julian decided I deserved to be punished, too.'
The more he thought about it, the more convinced Dylan became. He was so shocked that cold sweat broke out on his back, and he didn't even dare look Julian in the eye.
He said, "Mr. Hudson, I really don't think this is a good idea. I don't swing that way... How about I find someone more suitable for you—"
Julian cut him off. "I told you—I don't know anyone else well enough. I'm not comfortable. You're the only one I trust. I can only share a room with you."
Dylan was practically drenched in sweat. "But I..."
Julian looked a little impatient. He checked the time and said, "Stop dragging your feet, it's late. Let's go to bed."
In the end, Dylan went upstairs with Julian and brought him into his own room. He was on high alert, already thinking about how to gently turn Julian down without hurting his pride if Julian really tried anything.
But it didn't take long for him to realize he'd been overthinking things.
Julian walked over to the bed, took one look, and wrinkled his nose. "There's a stranger's scent on the bed. I can't sleep like this. I'll take the couch."
Dylan wiped the sweat off his forehead and thought, 'So he really is just afraid of sleeping alone. He's not interested in me. I don't have to worry about being forced to do it with him.'
While Dylan was in the bathroom washing up, Julian sprayed something on his pillow.
Soon, Dylan came out and lay down. It wasn't long before he was out like a light.
Julian went over and gave him a couple of kicks, but he didn't react at all. Satisfied, he left the room and slipped quietly into Olivia's.
Olivia was editing a script on her laptop. When she saw Julian come in, she frowned. "What are you doing in my room? Dylan said he's sleeping here tonight. Aren't you afraid he'll walk in on us? You better leave while you still can."
Julian walked over, bent down, and wrapped his arms around her from behind. "I drugged him."
Olivia was stunned.
Julian rubbed his cheek against hers and said softly, "To stop him from coming to you, I told him I was scared of sleeping alone and asked him to share a room with me."
Olivia's mouth twitched. 'He's almost 6'3", and he says he's scared to sleep alone? And Dylan actually bought that?' she thought, shocked.
Julian continued, "But I didn't want to stay in the same room as him. I wanted to be with you.
"I was worried he'd wake up in the middle of the night, realize I was gone, and ruin things for us. So I knocked him out—he won't wake up until tomorrow morning."
Olivia said, exasperated, "What do you think is going to happen between us? Even though you drugged him, I'm still not going to sleep with you."
Julian chuckled softly. "Just being alone with you is good enough for me."
Olivia's heart pounded, and her cheeks grew warm.
"It's late. Stop editing. You can finish it tomorrow. A couple of hours won't make a difference," Julian suggested.
