Hearing this, Nora forgot everything else and rushed to open the door.
"An arson case?"
Nathan nodded, but when his eyes fell on what Nora was wearing, he froze.
Nora was waiting for him to continue when she noticed him staring blankly at her chest. She looked down and froze as well.
"You—"
"Get out!"
Nora shoved him out of the room.
She then hurried into the bathroom, looking at her flushed reflection in the mirror with a sense of helplessness.
"How could I be so careless…"
The pajamas with the ridiculous pattern were a prize she'd won in a lucky draw. The fabric was comfortable, and since she always lived alone, she often wore them around the house.
It was fine when she was by herself, but for Nathan to see…
The ridiculous pattern featured a cartoon character wiggling its backside.
And that large butt was positioned right over her chest.
Nora splashed her face with cold water, trying to cool her burning cheeks.
Knowing this wasn't the time to dwell on such things, she washed up, changed her clothes as quickly as possible, and left the bedroom.
Nathan was already waiting outside.
He was holding a bag of breakfast.
Nora's jaw dropped. "Did you go back and make that just now?"
Was this guy The Flash?
How did he have time to go back, shower, and make breakfast in just a few minutes?
Nora noticed Nathan's hair was still dripping and frowned, handing him a towel. "You should dry it. You don't want to catch a cold."
"It's fine if I don't eat breakfast, really."
Aaron was incredulous, shocked that Nora wouldn't even spare a word for him.
"Wait, Nora!"
"You didn't answer my question!"
"Were you already hooking up with this guy, which is why you broke up with me?"
"I knew it! I fucking knew it!"
Aaron muttered to himself, then furiously kicked the trash can by the elevator door.
Nora found the noise grating and quickly pressed the close button, shutting the madman out.
She only breathed a sigh of relief once the elevator began its descent.
"I'm sorry."
Nora glanced at Nathan apologetically.
She had dragged him into this.
