The hot water from the shower dripped from her head. She closed her eyes, letting her thoughts fly...
She didn't know how to go on in the future.
If she gave up, it would be the simple way for her. She was useless. Her parents didn’t love her. She
could die... But she was unwilling!
Before Leona's debt was paid off, she had no reason to give up.
As for that man... Grace was a little irritable. How long did she have to act with him?
No, she couldn't just sit and wait. She originally hoped that he would get tired of her as soon as
possible, so that he would let her go, in this case, she would not have to risk offending him. As for
money... In short, she first tried to get out of his sight.
She looked in the mirror again and over again. After taking a shower, Grace put on the clothes that she
had worn today. But she didn’t go out, she stayed in the bathroom for a long time.
She didn’t know how long the time had passed. Based on her feelings, thirty or forty minutes had
passed. She thought if the person hadn’t left, he would urge her impatiently.
But at this moment, she didn't hear any noise from outside.
Feeling peaceful in her heart, she stretched out her hand to open the door. After she looked up
inadvertently and swept across the room, she immediately stunned... How could it be?
In front of the floor-to-ceiling window, under the standing lamp, the man hasn't left yet.
He sat on a single calf leather sofa, like a modest and elegant gentleman. Grace stood at the door of
the bathroom. She didn’t want to move...because she didn't want to get too close to him. If possible,
what she wanted most at the moment was to close the bathroom door. It was best to isolate him from
her.
But the reality was not as the same as what she thought.
Hearing the sound, the man looked up from the book. He glanced at her side with his sharp, deep and
aggressive eyes.
But his sight only stayed on her for less than two seconds before looked away.
Grace secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Suddenly!
With a faint sound, the man's slender body suddenly stood up from the sofa. Step by step, he walked
toward her with great ease.
Grace couldn't see the expression on her face, but the man saw it clearly.
The defense in her eyes, if measured according to the earthquake level, must be the earthquake
preparedness level of seven or eight... There was a spreading pain in his heart, but he deliberately
ignored it, and walked straight toward her.
He approached her, but she couldn't help but stepping back. She stared at the man in front of her, as if
he was a devil. That look...made him very uncomfortable.
He took another step towards her. The woman finally started to be unable to hide the unspeakable fear
deep in her heart. Her expression became nervous and flustered. "You..."
"Have you finished it?" The deep voice sounded timely.
Grace still stared at him. "Uh...Uh."
"But I haven't taken shower yet."
"..." He said in a low tone and low voice, Grace didn't understand what he meant for a while. After a
while, she felt surprised. "Ah..." After she realized what he meant, she almost subconsciously asked,
"Why do you take shower here?"
She frowned... What tricks was he playing again?
"Here is my own residence. Why can’t I take shower here?" The man walked by Grace, picked up a
clean bathrobe from the stand on the side, then he turned around to look at the figure blocking the
bathroom door. He glanced at the woman who was peeking at the door of the bathroom room, "The
elevator was locked just now. You can't go down. You behave yourself well. Go to bed and wait for me."
Her face turned into pale. She turned her head in disbelief and stared at the man who was unbuttoning
the shirt. With her hand hanging beside her, she clenched her fist, and kept her fist clenched. Her heart
was already full of turbulent waves... What did he mean?
With her head dropped, she kept thinking... If she begged him... No, it was not time to beg him...
"What are you doing here? Go to the bed and wait for me... Well, don't sleep." The man's light voice
was not harsh, but the commands in his words made people dare not violate it. "No sleep" made Grace
feel more flustered.
She hurriedly closed the bathroom door. Lowered her head, she saw her bare feet, only to remember
that the shoes fell in the bathroom during the bath.
She turned her head and glanced at the closed bathroom.
No matter whether she was wearing shoes or not, she hurried out of the bedroom barefoot and walked
straight to the elevator. She pressed on the elevator button several times, but the elevator door did not
move.
Grace was thinking. He was taking a shower which gave her time. If the elevator on this floor was
locked, he should have the remote control or magnetic card. She turned around to look for it on the
coffee table, on the shoe cabinet… She searched for places where he usually put magnetic cards or
remote controls.
But helplessly, she found nothing.
Turning her head, her eyes fell on the bedroom with a little dim light from the door... She hesitated for a
while. She gritted her teeth and returned to the bedroom.
The sound of the shower spray in the bathroom continued. Grace breathed a sigh of relief. What she
needed to do first which was to look for the remote control or magnetic card.
Without thinking about it, she immediately went to look for the bedside table. While searching quickly,
she was listening to the sound of the shower water flowing in the bathroom.
She didn't notice the door of the bathroom was opened silently. The man crossed his arms over his
chest and stood at the door of the bathroom, watching her every move.
Grace was so anxious...Where was it?
"Where is it?... Shouldn't…" She had searched all the places that could be found. How could there be
none?
"What are you looking for?" Behind her, a voice sounded softly. Grace was startled.
The man looked at her without urging. Until about a minute later, the woman next to the bed turned her
head stiffly and uncoordinatedly... Shockingly! Her eyes widen!
"You, water, you, water..." Her face was pale. She pointed to the man at the door of the bathroom, and
pointed to the shower that was still flowing. The shower didn’t turn down. He just should finish the
shower. But why did he stand at the door for a while? ...How long had he watched her?
Grace couldn't imagine when this door was opened, and when did this person stand behind her...
Suddenly she just felt like herself a joke. Everything was controlled by him... It seemed to indicate no
matter how hard she tried to escape, she couldn't escape his control.
This feeling shocked and irritated her.
"Oh... you said the water is not off. Didn't I tell you? I didn't tell you there is a glass wall of the
bathroom. Others can't see the inside from the outside, but they can see the outside from the inside?"
"Then I..."
"Why didn't you see?" He asked her the question, and chuckled. "It may the folding curtain be closed. I
pulled it up just now."
While speaking, he had already turned back into the bathroom, turned off the shower faucet. When he
turned back again, he raised the magnetic card in his hand. "You are looking for this?"
