Josephine picked up the water glass and murmured gratefully, âThank you.â Meanwhile, Ethan sat on the couch, staring at her screen. She blushed a little and mumbled, âDonât look.â
It was because she was writing a piece that mentioned the relationship between the sexes. Although she had never been in a serious relationship, her words were delicate and sharp when she wrote this type of article, as if she were an experienced person in love. Truth was, Josephine was a girl who often burst out with dirty jokes among her colleagues, and sometimes with her friends too.
âWhy canât I look?â Ethan couldnât help but ask with a smile when he noticed the headline she wrote, âWho likes doing the deed more, men or women?â
âI just donât want you to look.â Josephine covered her computer and blushed. âWhere did you get the experience to write these news articles?â The man did not let her off the hook and continued to ask.
Josephineâs face turned red upon realizing that Ethan had seen what she wrote. âHave you never heard of someone imagining things?â she stuttered. Ethan burst out laughing. âAre you writing based on your imagination?â
âWe conducted a survey report.â With that, she moved her computer to the couch to write. While writing, she muttered, âI will also have to send the manuscript to my desk later.â Ethan was slightly surprised to hear that. âItâs so late. Are you returning to the company?â
âYeah!â âIâll have someone else send it for you. Itâs too late, so donât go.â Ethan felt sorry for her. After all, she got beaten up today and needed rest.
âReally? Thank you!â In fact, Josephine didnât want to face her colleagues now. Their imagination was even richer than hers. They would surely spread rumors about her being the homewrecker who got beaten up by the original partner. There would be no reasoning with them.
It was not until 11.00PM that Josephine handed the manuscript to the person Ethan had summoned.
After that, she went into the bathroom and looked around. She didnât know if it was because of the medicine she applied or her young age, but the swelling on her face had disappeared. She looked no different from usual, except that it was still red.
After coming out of the bathroom, Josephine looked at Ethan, who was in the master bedroom. She thought she should go over and say a few words before closing the door and going to bed.
She saw that the bedroom door was not closed, so she walked over. However, before she could knock, a warm figure with only a bath towel wrapped around the waist appeared before her eyes.
He had broad, sturdy honey-colored chest muscles and solid, tough muscle lines below the abs. After the shower, there were even some blood vessels showing.
At that sight, Josephine mused, What a great body! Heâs parading it for me? Ethan looked at her dumbfounded expression and was open about it, ruffling his wet hair and asking with a smile, âLike what you see?â
Josephine gulped discreetly, forcing herself to move her eyes away and stare at the floor. She blushed and mumbled, âIâm returning to my room. Goodnight.â âWait a minute.â
âHmm?â Josephine quickly stopped in her tracks. The man suddenly picked up a bag and handed. it to her. âHereâs the pajamas I prepared for you.â
âHuh? You prepared pajamas for me?â Surprised, Josephine took the bag and saw a thin, burgundy nightgown inside. Her mind. buzzed for a moment. Itâs rather sexy, isnât it?
âLet me see the injury on your face.â The man was still unsure about her face and wanted to recheck it before she went to bed. Josephine quickly took a step back. âT-Thatâs alright. Iâm fine.â It was already ugly enough. She couldnât possibly show it to him.
âGoodnight!â Josephine said and backed out of the doorway, returning to her room. She was still a bit uneasy and her mind was filled with the image of Ethanâs perfect body. She realized the handsome guys she usually saw were nothing compared to him. Ethanâs figure is genuinely top-notch! I should have looked at him more instead of being shy just now! Who knows when I will get another chance?
Josephine quickly took a shower and put on the nightgown that Ethan had given her. It fit her. perfectly, revealing her charming curves which were usually hidden under her formal attire.
