Hello, Mr. Brent novel Chapter 3

It was very quiet. Emily opened her eyes but immediately covered them up with her hands. The light was too strong. It took quite a while for her to get used to it and reopen her eyes. For a moment, she was serene and tranquil, enjoying the strange ceiling and unfamiliar smell.

Her befuddled brain struggled through yesterday's visual memories. Fractured memories of the previous night came slowly back to haunt her. Her father gave her a glass of wine and sent her to a stranger, but she escaped and...

She didn't remember coming here.

The clattering sound of water came from the bathroom, making Emily gain her senses from the shock.

She quickly glanced sideways at the bathroom, and a slender figure loomed over her through a glass door.

The man... was still there.

Emily's mind was in a mess.

"Bang!" The bathroom door opened, and the man came out with steam enveloped all over his body.

Emily's hand stiffened, and she immediately pulled up the quilt to cover herself.

"You're awake. Do you want to take a bath?" The man asked her gently.

His voice was charming, slightly low and magnetic, like a cello that could tug at people's heartstrings.
