Chapter 24 You Are Not My Type

Annabel had been so engrossed in applying the ointment that she didn't notice his presence.

Here he was standing in a white bathrobe with part of his broad chest visible.

The collision made his chin hurt, so his face was a little knitted.

Droplets of water fell from the tip of his hair.His eyebrows and eyelashes were also wet.

Annabel took in his appearance for an indeterminate amount of time.She had to admit that he was very good-looking.

"Have you feasted your eyes enough?" Rupert asked with a smug smile, jarring her from her world of fantasy.

"When did you get here? You scared the shit out of me.Stop tiptoeing like a thief.And get dressed immediately!"

Annabel rubbed her head and looked away shyly.

Rupert chuckled and buttoned up the bathrobe.

Rubbing his chin, he uttered teasingly, "My chin hurts because you bumped into me.What are you going to do about this?"

She bumped into him, but she complained instead of apologizing.

"I...I'm going to take a shower."

Annabel was a little flustered under his intense gaze.She grabbed clean clothes and rushed into the bathroom.She muttered to herself, "Why did he come out dressed like that? Oh, God.Why am I sweating all of a sudden?"

Staring at Annabel as she ran away from him, Rupert couldn't help but wonder if he was scary.

Knock! Knock! Knock! Annabel was still showering when she suddenly heard a series of knocks on the bathroom door.

"Who is there?"

Her heart skipped a bit as she rinsed the lather off her face.

Who could be knocking? Was it Rupert? He was the only one in the room.

What did he want? Sure enough, Rupert's attractive voice came from the other side.

"It's me."

Annabel put up her guard immediately.
