Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 1103

Charlie got back to his room early. Just as he was about to hit the sack, he got a call from Waters.

"Hey, Mr. James, my shower's gone bonkers, can you come over and take a look?"

Charlie replied with a grin, "You could call a repairman, or if that's a no-go, switch to a different room."

"At this hour, even a repairman needs some shut-eye, and the hotel's packed tonight. Where am I supposed to switch to?" Waters retorted, a tad peeved.

Charlie responded quietly, "Well, then you might have to skip the shower."

"But I'm all sweaty and uncomfortable, I won't be able to sleep at all if I don't shower," Waters said, after a pause, she added, "Or perhaps I could use your bathroom to take a quick shower and then leave. It won't disturb you for long, is that okay?"

Charlie replied, "Sure, come over."

"I'll be right there, hold your horses!" There was a hint of flirtation in Waters' voice.

After hanging up, Charlie set his phone aside, a smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth.

Before long, the doorbell rang. Charlie opened the door to find Waters still in the red dress she had been wearing earlier, revealing her smooth neck, a bathrobe thrown over her arm. She looked at Charlie, asking, "I'm not disturbing your rest, am I?"

"If I said yes, would you leave?" Charlie half-jokingly replied.

"I'm already here, you're going to ask me to leave?" Waters took a step closer, almost pressing against Charlie's body, "Are you really willing to let me go?"

Charlie took a step back, shutting the door, "Go ahead and shower."

Waters was beautiful, with a killer body and skin as smooth as silk, a temptation hard for any man to resist.

However, Charlie remained cool, and his voice, polite yet gentlemanly, responded, "I'm sorry, I'm not in the mood tonight."

Waters frowned, adding to her allure, "I know you've met many people, but I don't think I'm any less than any of your past female friends. What are you worried about, Mr. James?"

"I'm just not into you." Charlie's voice was indifferent, as if he was talking about food or tea.

Waters had many suitors, so being rejected was a blow to her pride, "You're overthinking. I'm not after anything from you, it's just love between a man and a woman. I love you and am willing to give myself to you. If you ever get tired some day, I won't cling to you, and I won't cause any trouble."

She believed she was being extremely sincere. She had been pursuing this man for two years, and he had indeed wormed his way into her heart. She desperately wanted to have him at all costs.
