‘I’ll head over to your room to take a shower later. Is that fine?” She lifted her head and asked.
“Sure, come on over.” Richard nodded.
She scanned from left to right with her pretty eyes and thought, The coast is clear right now. Is this the perfect time to sneak a kiss?
“Uh… Lower your head. I’ve got something to tell you.” Angela twisted her fingers and made a request with a slightly awkward look on her face.
Richard did as told and he naturally lowered his tall body to lower his head and listen to what she had to say. However, as soon as he lowered his head, a pair of soft lips planted a kiss on his cheek quite swiftly. He was stunned and he turned around to glance at the girl who’d taken advantage of him.
At that moment, she stayed behind and didn’t run away from him. Furthermore, she revealed a dazzling smile to him. “Did you like that?”
Then, there was a flash of tenderness in his eyes but he didn’t say a word. However, the look in his eyes clearly spoke volumes and indicated that he was perfectly fine with her behaving without any restraint in front of him.
“I’ll see you later.” Angela turned around and fled after finishing her sentence. Simply put, she could not look him in the eye due to her flushed face, so she had to run.
She returned to her room, her heart pounding as she smiled foolishly. She had a sweet expression on her face as her eyes sparkled since she was thrilled.
She felt that her relationship with Richard had improved substantially. The aloof and indifferent expression on his face had vanished, and it was evident that he had enjoyed the sneak kiss she gave him earlier.
Meanwhile, Ariel was throwing a tantrum in her room because she had just realized that no private bathroom was available. Being a girl, she found the idea of having to use the public bathhouse to take a shower to be unacceptable.
She went to the management office to express her concern, but they told her to use the public bathhouse. She left the office in an inconsolable rage and barely
managed to keep her calm. It dawned on her that she wasn’t the only female guest.
Where does Angela take her shower? She certainly wouldn’t shower in the public bathhouse. She wanted to find out where Angela took a shower so she could use the same bathroom.
Ariel proceeded to ask around until she finally received the answer in secret from a male staff member. He informed her that Angela had a designated area for shower and that she had gone to Richard’s private en-suite bathroom.
They were currently located in the deep mountains, so resources were limited; everything was streamlined, and few people had the privilege of having an en suite bathroom.
When she heard that, her eyes lit up. So, Angela takes a shower in Richard’s room, which means I can do the same. At that moment, she recalled that she had packed two slinky nightgowns on purpose when packing her clothes, and now it came in handy.
Ariel returned to her room and hastily took out a nude pink nightgown from her wardrobe before picking out a long coat. She intended to wrap that around herself after she finished her shower as no one other than Richard could get to see her in a nightgown.
She was not in a hurry to head to Richard’s room at the moment because she hoped to stall for more time. Once everyone in this hostel block fell asleep, it would be much more convenient for her to make her way to his room.
She pulled out a vanity mirror and began admiring her beauty. She took a closer look and concluded that the results of her cosmetic surgery were excellent because the scars from the operation were hardly noticeable. She compared her new, refined appearance to the one she had before by moving her eyes, nose, and lips.
