Chapter 107
She didn’t dwell on it too much. All she could think about was how she was still in her clothes and had gone to sleep without a shower She felt gross all over
So she got up, grabbed some clean clothes from her closet, and headed straight to the bathroom
There was steam and the sound of running water in the bathroom it was warm and burnid
Did she forget to turn off the tap when she came back home?
Ellinor walked further in to check the tub and then she saw a man’s naked body.
The man showering heard her and quickly turned around. Their eyes met – one set cold and dark, the other shocked and embarrassed
Ellinor’s sleepiness vanished in an instant. She was wide awake.
She gasped and quickly turned around, “You why didn’t you lock the door?”
Theo replied coldly. Ms Mendoza, I believe this is my room. I’m taking a shower in my room, why should lock the door? Why didn’t you knock before coming in?” Ellinor was both embarrassed and angry…You hardly ever stay here. I’ve gotten used to being alone. How was I supposed to know you were showering?
“I’m showering, and you just barged in. I didn’t get mad, and yet you’re the one blaming me?”
Fair point!
“Ms. Mendoza, aren’t you going to leave? Or are you planning to join me?”
Ellinor scoffed, quickly exited the bathroom, and slammed the door shut!
The scent of soap made her blush. She wanted to forget what she had just seen!
The shock reminded Ellinor of something
She faintly remembered falling asleep on the subway and him not waking her up when they reached the station. Did he carry her back from the subway station?
Thinking of this, Ellinor became even more embarrassed.
She woke up early today for her graduation ceremony, and the day had been full of events. First, she was framed by Veronica, then she had to prove her innocence at the police station, then she had to attend a reunion and was forced to play the violin.
She was genuinely exhausted, that’s why she fell asleep on the subway.
The fact that he didn’t just leave her alone on the subway was already a big deal!
Then, Theo came out of the bathroom, dressed in a bathrobe, smelling fresh.
Ellinor silently went into the bathroom to avoid the awkward face–to–face encounter.
When she came out after her shower, Theo was already asleep on the sofa.
They had to sleep like this since Marissa was home, and they couldn’t sleep in separate rooms.
He slept, and Ellinor went back to bed
The next day
When Ellinor woke up. Theo was nowhere to be found in the room.
She didn’t mind, she felt more comfortable when he wasn’t home.
As she came out of the room, she saw the Blanchet family’s maid carrying a suitcase downstairs.
Ellinor found it strange and asked, “Whose luggage is that?”
