The compartment is not big and they are close to each other, and even their breaths are mixed together.
Lily is stunned and her heart is beating fast. Louis has opened the shower to let others know that there is someone in this compartment. The immovable shower on the top makes Lily wet all over.
Wiping the water on her eyes, Lily glares at the man in front of her, and whispers, "Do you have to open the shower? Why don’t you stay outside?"
She is taking a bath again. The towel on her body is so wet and heavy that she could hardly hold it!
"Do you want others to come?" Louis grasps her arm, leaving a gap between them so that they won’t get too close to each other.
There are rattling footsteps outside, and a small hand wants to pull the curtain up.
Louis is a bit nervous.
Lily is also very nervous. She hurriedly grabs the girl's hand when the curtain is pulled away and leans her head out. It is a five-year-old girl in the village.
She smiles forcefully and asks, "What's wrong?"
"Oh! It’s sister!" The little girl is excited when she sees Lily and says, "I can't find the bubble ball, so I come here to have a look."
"What bubble ball?"
"The one that can generate bubbles on the body."
Lily knows she means the shower gel, and quickly gives her the shower gel on the shelf.
"Thank you, sister." The little girl holds the shower gel but doesn't leave. She asks curiously, "Sister, why are you pulling the curtain, we don't need it."
"Because I am afraid of water splashing on the outside and wets the floor and make people slip down." Lily says, "So, you have to pull the curtain when you take a shower, got it?"
"Oh."
When the little doesn’t say anymore and leaves with the shower gel, Lily gives a sigh of relief.
The bath towel on her body is wet and heavy, and could not be held together. When she stands up, the bath towel slips off her body, and instantly, she is naked.
"..."
Louis didn't expect such a situation to happen. His eyes are on her smooth back. Below is her waist that he knows that it is very tender and soft.
He feels his mouth dry.
Louis takes a lot of efforts to remove his eyes from her. He picks up the towel on the floor, squeezes it hard, and then passes it to Lily. Louis says coarsely, “There you go.”
Lily's face is red and embarrassed. Hearing what he says, she is so embarrassed that she quickly grabs the bath towel and wraps it around herself.
They do not speak, only hearing the laughter of the girls outside.
Soon, the girls leave after the shower. Lily goes out to check the bathroom, and then asks Louis out.
"It’s my fault." Louis cough, "Thank you, Miss Lily."
Lily's ears are redder, and she says unnaturally, "Mr. Louis, be careful next time and don’t get in the wrong bathroom. Others would think you are a voyeur."
Louis nods.
After having breakfast, Lily works with the head of the factory to arrange accommodation for the villagers.
The village head is very satisfied with this place. Later, he hears that he could work, and he can get salary every month, his anger is gone, and when he talks to Lily, he laughs.
Louis seems to be busy, so he takes David out.
Lily has classes for children in the temporary classrooms. She teaches them to write in the morning, and takes them out to talk with locals in the afternoon, so as to practice their spoken language, and occasionally she would teach villagers to write their names in Turkish.
"Mr. Louis, have you found the one you need?" David hasn't responded to what he says, "Is that person reliable?"
Louis' head tilts slightly.
David follows his eyes and sees Lily sitting on a soft sofa looking at the tablet. Her dark hair hanging on her shoulders, looking quiet and beautiful.
Louis raises his thin lips and smiles, "Of course she is."
"Mr. Louis, do you have to choose her?"
"Yes."
David understands. He nods and looks at Lily again when he leaves the VIP room.
Lily seems to feel something. She looks up and sees that David is looking at herself. Lily nods at him, and David smiles slightly, then leaves.
Why did David go out?
When Lily is still confused, the word "Krislier" comes in her ears. She looks down at the screen and happens to see the picture. The man is wearing a dark gray suit and he looks very gentle.
The host introduces the man with excitement. Lily feels her ears buzzing, only capturing some keywords, and then these words forming into a sentence in her mind.
Krislier, a large ancient family in Sweden, began to invest in investment banks, oil, and arms in the early nineteen century. It has become a huge and rich family now, with wealth that is equal to a country and is a frequent guest to the royal family.
Colbert·Krislier, nickname John, the second heir to the Krislier family. After more than two decades of silence, he finally appears in front of the media and tells the media that he would invest one billion to start his own company.
Lily stares at the man on the screen, as if looking at a stranger, her lips twisted.
It turns out that her ex-boyfriend's background is powerful!
