Besides wearing a long dress, I was in super high heels which I rarely find myself in, so I found it hard to balance.
In addition, the man had shifted most of his weight on me, and to support a grown-ass man while walking in heels proved to be a challenge.
However, it was too late to go back on my decision. Since the driver had left, I could only grit my teeth as I supported him into the house, and we still had to walk past the garden to the bedroom.
That was the first time I realized big houses weren’t really ideal under some circumstances. Stopping in my tracks, I asked, “Ashton, can you walk?”
He frowned and gazed at me with his dark eyes. “What do you think?”
I…
Well… One will always pay the price for one’s action.
Slowly but surely, we finally reached the bedroom. Having used up all my strength, I didn’t feel right and the first thing I wanted to do after placing him on the bed was to change into a more comfortable outfit.
However, I was too quick on my movements that I stepped on my dress when I was getting up from the bed.
The tube-top dress didn’t have any straps to support it on my body, so the heavy dress slid down, and I was exposed, wearing only my flesh-colored underwear and the nipple tapes.
Wearing the nipple tapes made no difference to being naked. Ashton looked at me while he snickered, “You’re so eager today.”
I…
Pursing my lips, I ignored his words and went to the wardrobe to change into some casual wear. When I came out, Ashton was nowhere to be found, while the sound of water could be heard coming from the washroom.
Too many things had happened today. Feeling exhausted, I went to the study and switched on the television. Reading the news headline, it was exactly as I had expected. Those videos of Cameron were leaked to the public.
To my surprise, the Moore family had the power to suppress the news from getting out of hand, but they did nothing.
Even Cameron sat by and did nothing. It felt like she was deliberately giving me a chance.
Seeing how it was rather late at night, I gave up on the thought of calling Jackson.
After resting for a while, I went back to the bedroom. Ashton was still in the washroom.
This shouldn’t be, as he was one of those who showered fairly quickly and always get himself clean under ten minutes. I’ve stayed at the study for a while, so he should be out by now.
With worry in my heart, I headed toward the washroom and knocked on the door. “Ashton, are you in there?”
No response.
I grew restless and turned the doorknob. To my surprise, the door actually opened.
Opening the door slightly, the warm and moist steam came out from the washroom with the scent of shampoo. I said, “Ashton…”
