Chapter 1131: Chapter 1131 He Was Incredibly Happy

In the world, delicacies were probably the only counter for people with mysophobia.

Culver had despised the street for its dirtiness, but after tasting the food, he completely gave up on being fastidious about himself and his surroundings.

Later onwards, they ate all the way along the food street. It was not until the sky had darkened that they finally went back.

After taking a shower, Naomi received a call from Emma the moment she came out from the bathroom.

“The situation isn’t good. I can’t hold on any longer! How’s it going over there?”

Emma’s words filled Naomi with anxiety. “Try your best, I’ll think of a way as soon as possible!” Naomi said to her.

After hanging up on the call, she got up and tidied herself.

Naomi felt that Culver seemed content after he spent a day on a trip full of delicacies with her. Therefore, she thought it would be a good opportunity to ask him for help.

Thinking of that, she took a deep breath and knocked on the door of Culver’s room.

Nobody answered her. Hence, she tried to turn the doorknob, only to find that it was not locked. As soon as she walked in, she heard the sound of the bathroom door being opened.

She was stunned and subconsciously wanted to leave, but Culver had already come out.

He had been taking a shower just then.

What was more, he was not wearing a bathrobe, instead only the lower half of his body was wrapped in a simple bath towel. He had just finished showering, and there were still drops of water hanging on the hair near his forehead.

Presently, the water droplets slid down from his hair to his chest.

Naomi couldn’t help but swallow hard while he asked her.

Culver asked her, “What can I do for you?”

Naomi’s heart was palpitating. She came back to her senses, and hurriedly turned around to avoid looking at him.

“Ahem, there’s indeed something I need to talk to you about!”

“Say it!”

Upon hearing his words, Naomi turned back unconsciously. When she saw his masculine body again, she turned around again.

She pursed her lips and said, “I am in no hurry. You can dress yourself first!”

“No need. I’m good.”

His attitude rendered her speechless.

“Shouldn’t you at least put on a robe?”

Culver quirked his eyebrow as he replied, “Are you afraid that you won’t be able to control yourself?”

Naomi was astounded.

“Hey, don’t be so narcissistic!”

Culver ignored her and went to get a bathrobe, and then put it on. He was feeling smug about his ability to attract her.

Naomi couldn’t help rolling her eyes at him. It was an instinct for her to be captivated by virile men, but she was in her right mind.

Naomi didn’t want to dwell on that topic.

So, she said with a smile, “Well, it’s about my company, the one you tried to bring down when I left Greene City last time. Now that everything has been cleared up, and you know it was all a misunderstanding, could you please rescind the order?”

Culver nodded and replied, “So, that’s what you want to talk about. Believe it or not, I’ve also been thinking about it lately.”

Naomi immediately smiled and said, “Then, it’s a deal, right? I…”

Before she could finish her words, Culver asked her another question.

“What do you think of me?”

Naomi looked completely nonplussed, wondering what the point was in asking her that at the moment. However, she was asking him for a favor, thus she definitely didn’t want to offend him.

Furthermore, after hanging out with him for a day, she found that he was actually not that despicable. Sometimes, she even felt that he had an appealing personality.

Therefore, she flattered him.

“You’re handsome and dashing. I think girls will like you very much.”

Culver was quite pleased as he asked, “What about you?”

“Me?” Confusion was written all over her face. What did the matter have to do with her?

He added a sentence, “Do you like me?”

Naomi was really bemused. She felt like he was suddenly acting like a child, waiting to be praised.

She was really stumped by his question. Needless to say, she couldn’t tell him the truth that she thought that he was a pervert.

Otherwise, all her efforts would be in vain and he would absolutely make her suffer.

After thinking for a while, Naomi had no option but to answer insincerely, “O-Of course I’m the same as the other girls!”

Culver became as happy as a lark upon hearing her answer.

The smile on his face was so bright. It was the first time that she had seen him being so joyful ever since they had met. For a moment, she thought he was quite an amiable person due to that smile.

Naomi never expected that he would be so delighted after hearing her words.

While she was deep in thought, he pulled her into his arms and gave her a cuddle. Naomi was caught off guard, and her nose slammed into his chest. Subsequently, she was stupefied for a few seconds.

When she realized her circumstances, she struggled to free herself from Culver.

“Culver, what are you doing?”

She thought to herself, “Don’t think that you can do anything to me just because I’m in need of your help! I am not the kind of person who will do anything for my own benefit.”

However, she didn’t dare to say all that out loud. Fortunately, Culver didn’t make any advances on her. He just cuddled her before letting her go.

Then, he smiled cheerfully.

“I am incredibly happy today. Good night!”

Naomi quickly ran out from his room.

Only then did she let out a sigh of relief.

“Sure enough, he’s a pervert! I must be careful not to let him take advantage of me next time!” she reminded herself.

…

Meanwhile, Eddison was working diligently in Yvonne’s company.

Although Yvonne had come from a wealthy family, she was not willing to rely on her family for financial support. Hence, she tried to start her own business that year. The small store was her starting point in making a living for herself. There were still many flaws in her company, especially in the legal aspect.

Eddison made use of his professional knowledge to help Yvonne sort out and organize all the documents in the past few days. He had also adjusted and added the information that was formerly missing.

Only then did the legal department in Yvonne’s company become fully functional.

As Yvonne was chatting with Rachel, she brought Eddison up in their conversation, saying, “I didn’t expect him to be so proficient in legal knowledge.”

Her words thrilled Rachel.

“Of course he’s capable. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have recommended him for this position.”

Rachel was so close with Yvonne that she would behave in a more adorable and mischievous manner in front of her.

Yvonne said, “I see, he is a pretty decent guy. I give you all my support! Well then, I shall leave you alone. Hurry up and make him fall in love with you!”

With that said, Yvonne stood up and left directly.

After that, Rachel looked through the glass door and saw Eddison, who was busy with his work. She slowly pushed the door open and walked over.

When he first heard the footsteps, he thought it was Yvonne. To his surprise, Rachel came up to him gracefully.

“Why are you here?”

Rachel came to her senses and made an excuse, “I didn’t think you’d be here! Are you working here?”

Eddison didn’t think too much into it. It was normal for Rachel and Yvonne to know each other since they were peers.

“What a coincidence!”

Seeing that he was not angry, Rachel plucked up her courage, and went over to take a look at the documents he had sorted out.

“Thank you for saving me last time. By the way, I bought this. Since I happen to see you here, I’ll just give it to you as a way to express my gratitude.”

Truth be told, it was a present that she had specially prepared for him. However, she had made up another excuse just to make the whole process more natural.

Eddison didn’t accept the gift. He replied, “You’re welcome. I would have saved you even if you were a stranger. What’s more, I should be blamed for what happened to you in the taxi last time.”

“It wasn’t your fault!” Rachel shook her head vigorously, not wanting him to be stressed out over her matters.
