As Arthur and Sophia had just climbed off the wall, their clothes were stained with dirt.
“Let’s find a hotel nearby and take a shower there. He turned his head to Sophia and suggested. It would take about another hour to get back to the villa, but he could not endure the journey any longer without first refreshing himself.
Without any objection, they arrived at a five-star hotel twenty minutes later. However, he could not get the suite like he expected to as they were all reserved by foreign visitors who came for the newly large enterprise nearby.
Therefore, there were only double rooms available for the time being. Sophia was not picky about their limited choice, but she was worried that Arthur would not be happy with the outcome.
“Give me a double room then.” Having no
other choices, Arthur could only compromise.
While checking them in and distributing the key card, the receptionist stole a glance at him. Even though he was soaking wet, the receptionist still found him fairly handsome despite his state.
After checking in, they entered the elevator.
As she saw her reflection in the mirror, Sophia crossed her arms around her chest immediately. Oh, god! She was surprised to see her white t-shirt drenched against her body, which revealed her curves to everyone.
After entering the room, she could see that the double room only came with a bathroom. Therefore, she suggested, “Mr. Weiss, you may go first. I might take a long time to wash my hair.”
Arthur was not bothered by the fact that
he needed to wait and instead, he offered with courtesy. “Ladies first.” Touched by his generosity, Sophia kindly accepted his suggestion. “Alright, I will make it fast then.”
After that, she walked into the bathroom and took a shower to clean herself thoroughly from head to toe.
Reality hit and stunned her as soon as she finished showering. She slowly remembered that there were only towels prepared in the bathroom. If she needed a bathrobe, she would need to get it from the cabinet outside the bathroom.
Having no other options, she wrapped the towel around her body and began to dry her hair. Her silky hair cast down her back as she attended to them.
Besides, she had an average height of five feet five and fair skin which could reflect light; such a combination gave her a perfect appearance. Before she walked out of the bathroom, she took a deep breath and hoped that Arthur had left the room to not see her current state.
Once she pushed the door open, the first thing she saw was Arthur waiting on the couch with his bare chest. He was wearing only his pants right now and his hip bone was shown as he lounged casually on the couch.
“I-I have finished. It’s your turn to shower. Pulling the towel close to her body, she walked out of the bathroom and informed him in a meek tone.
When Arthur heard Sophia’s words, he raised his head and took the view in. A glint flashed across his eyes at the sight in front of him.
He had been living smoothly without any obstacles or hindrances, so this was the first time he felt charmed as the woman stood before him.
There was no calmness and clarity in his eyes like usual. Instead, his eyes were bright as if they could scorch into her soul.
As he rose to his feet, Arthur’s height enveloped her like a net. Sophia looked up immediately to prevent him from making any sudden moves. Just as she thought he was going to do something when he walked toward her shirtless, his comment rang in the room. “Not bad, you have nice curves.”
After being caught off guard by him, she was speechless and could not make a snarky comeback against his remark. However, needless for him to say, she was always aware of her fit body and had confidence about it.
Before she could remind him to take the bathrobe with him, Arthur had already entered the bathroom and shut the door.
Letting out a frustrated sigh, she half expected to see him with a towel around his waist later, even though that was not in her plan.
She took the bathrobe from the cabinet and changed into the attire. It was a brand new experience for her to only wear a bathrobe.
Twenty minutes later, Arthur pulled open the bathroom door to reveal himself. Water was still dripping from his hair and he was in his towel as Sophia had expected.
From what she could see, he had fair skin, but it did not mean that his body was not kept in shape. He had a toned body with visible muscles, which was
proof that he spent a lot of time on maintaining it.
“Mr. Weiss, are we heading home later?” She waited for him to settle before she asked.
“I already asked my bodyguard to send us some clothes. He is on his way.” Using the towel she left on the bed to dry his hair, Arthur answered her.
As the space was limited in the room, they were looking at each other at close range.
Suddenly, a malicious thought occurred to him as he observed her. She is probably only wearing a bathrobe, isn’t she?
