"So you were in such a hurry, just to tell me this?" Tobias laughed.
"Of course." Natalie was serious.
Tobias' eyes appeared even deeper than the sea. "Natalie, it's just buying a potato chip company. It's not a big deal. There's no need to be in such a rush."
As soon as Natalie heard it, she was sure that if she did not say anything, Tobias would definitely have acquired the company.
"Well, I don't like it, anyway. You don't have to buy it."
Tobias smiled slightly. "If you don't like it, then I'll just forget about it."
Natalie nodded in agreement.
"Natalie, help me," Tobias suddenly said.
"Help you? With what?" Natalie looked puzzled.
"A shower." Those two words sounded ambiguous when they came from Tobias' thin lips.
Natalie was speechless.
Her confused look turned into a flustered one.
She could still remember the awkwardness when she was helping him wipe his body, and she did not want to do that anymore.
"Can't you get anyone else to help you with that?" Natalie asked tentatively.
"Natalie, there are only three women in this house. Apart from you, who else can help me with that?" Tobias looked determined.
To Natalie, it felt like she was walking on the edge of a blade.
He was right. Apart from Aunt Lee and herself, Selina was the only woman left in the family.
There was no doubt about that apart from her, no one else could help him shower.
"I'll do it then. It's not like I've never seen it before." Natalie gritted her teeth.
Why was she so hesitant? They had already done it twice. There was no need for her to be so shy, as if she had never seen a man before.
Despite this thought, she really was shy.
But she still managed to hold on.
There was nothing to be afraid of, nothing!
Natalie was about to follow Tobias into the shower room when his deep and meaningful voice rang in her ears, "Did you forget to take those things?"
"What things?" Natalie paused in her footsteps.
The look in Tobias' eyes deepened. "A new set of clean clothes."
"Oh, I'll go get it." Natalie remembered that she was in his room. The big mahogany wardrobe was full of Tobias' clothes.
There was a faint musky fragrance emanating from the wardrobe.
Natalie picked a set of pajamas.
"What else?" Tobias looked at Natalie with teasing eyes.
Natalie suddenly remembered that there was one more thing she had to take.
H-His underwear.
"About that, where do you put that?" Natalie's face turned red.
After all, she was really shy.
"What?" Unlike Natalie, Tobias was quite calm.
"That!"
"What?!"
Natalie gritted her teeth and said, "Your underwear!"
It was just underwear! Why was she so reluctant to say it? And Tobias, he was even teasing her!
A faint smile appeared at Tobias' lips. He pointed at the drawer under the wardrobe and said, "It's over there."
Natalie opened the drawer to search for one.
There were indeed neatly folded underwear inside, and all of them were black.
Natalie forced herself to take one out.
However, the underwear she picked unfolded the moment she picked it up, and it fell open.
There were some traces clearly showing that he had worn this pair of underwear before.
Natalie was stunned for a while, and then she blushed.
When she walked into the bathroom, she realized that something was wrong.
Although Tobias was injured, he still had the ability to take his underwear. Why did he have to make her take it?
Wasn't it obvious that he was bullying her!
Wait, no, he was flirting with her!
