The Wrong Woman

Candice entered the bathroom and took her bath.

The entire process took a little over an hour.

Normally, after bathing, she would wash her hair and blow-dry it. Then, she would do her skincare routine, apply a face mask and hand mask, and finally apply lotion and cream all over her body.

By the time she finished all this, more than an hour had passed.

When she came out of the bathroom, she was surprised to find Elio already in her room.

His pillow and blanket were on the sofa. He was sitting there in casual sleepwear, looking at his phone.

She was slightly stunned. She was nervous for some reason because she had thought Elio was just joking when he said he would stay with her. She didn't expect him to come to her room to accompany her. She froze in place with her heart racing like crazy. She just stood there and nervously looked at him.

Elio put down his phone and then looked up at her. He curiously asked with a gentle voice, "Do you always take this long to shower?"

With her hands clutching her nightgown, Candice nodded nervously. Thankfully, her nightgown was modest or she would have felt even more embarrassed.

Seeing her standing there like a frightened child, Elio's heart melted. He said, "I'll sleep in your room tonight."

Candice nodded vigorously.
