I hurriedly refused. "No, it’s alright."
"Okay, then I'll watch TV outside."
After hearing him say that, I still did not feel at ease. I pressed my ear against the door until I heard the sound of the TV being turned on.
This man was getting more unhinged day by day.
I blamed myself, but I felt the temperature on my face rise again.
When I stepped out of the shower, the warmth of my breath hit my face. All my worries seemed to be washed away, and I felt a sense of relief.
I wiped my hair, which was still dripping, and walked to the window sill. I had just opened the bathroom door when the water droplets from my hair dripped onto the floor.
I turned around to get a towel and went out again but did not notice the water on the floor. The wet soles of my shoes stepped onto the smooth floor and I accidentally lost my focus again. I slipped on the bottom of my feet, thinking I was going to fall on my back.
Before my scream came out of my throat, I was caught firmly by a pair of hands and brought into an embrace.
"Do you want to slip and fall twice on the same day?" Theo's tone was already tinged with a hint of unbelievable mockery.
I looked at him, and for a moment, I did not know how to explain it to him.
He glanced at the floor. "Caroline wasn't too careful when she came over to wax the floor today. I'll let her know later on."
I looked back and picked up the towel that had fallen on the floor. "It's okay, I don't blame her. It's my own carelessness."
Theo raised the corners of his mouth." That's true, I thought you would come to repay me out of guilt, so I was waiting here and getting ready to give you a chance. I didn't think it would end up with me saving you again."
He said while taking out the bathrobe from the closet.
"You owe me for so many things. Think about how you're going to pay me back in a little while."
Watching his movements, my heart pounded.
