Nicole nodded, not rejecting his kindness. Halfway through the shower, she realized she did not have a change of clothes.
Downstairs, Claus watched in amazement, thinking that he had an illusion as Jared fastened the apron as if he were preparing to cook. He rubbed his eyes and asked in disbelief, “Boss, are you going to cook?”
‘He could have just ordered it directly. I have seen no other women who could make him cook.”
Jared did not spare a glance at him as he continued doing what he was doing. “How about you cook?”
Claus shook his head vigorously and then looked at Jared in a daze. ‘The old-fashioned apron looks great on Boss.’ At this moment, footsteps came from the stairs. Jared and Claus looked back almost in unison and were amazed.
The girl was wearing a white bathrobe, and much of her skin was exposed, her rosy face glowing. Probably because she had just come out of the shower, she looked so refreshing and clean like a lily.
Especially her pair of upturned eyes that looked like melting ice in the early spring, wet and a little misty, just like her hair.
Looking down, there was her slender waist and long and delicate legs.
Nicole had a little helpless look on her face, which was rare. She walked down in her bathrobe and said to Jared,” I don’t have a change of clothes. I can only wear this.”
Jared came to his senses and immediately took off his apron. He then pulled Claus, who was still staring at Nicole in a daze, into the kitchen and passed him the spatula. Seeing Claus still gawk at
Nicole, Jared frowned. He strode out, took Nicole’s hand, and brought her upstairs.
It was not until Nicole disappeared into the corner of the stairs that Claus came out of his daze. Kicking himself for staring at Nicole like that, he looked at the spatula in his hand and then at the sizzling things on the frying pan, suddenly screaming as he scrambled to save the dish.” Holy moly, Boss!”
Claus wondered if a harder life would await him with Nicole’s presence. Upstairs, Nicole shook off Jared’s hand with a stony face.” What are you doing?”
Jared looked at her and said nothing; he did not know what he was doing, but one thing was certain though, that he did not want to see Claus stare at her like that. She has no idea how attractive she is.’
But thinking of the day at the Turmann mansion, he took a long cold shower to calm down, and since then, he had never come any closer to her. He swallowed but could say nothing.
After taking a deep breath, he took out his mobile phone. “Order a set of ladies’ clothes and send them over. The height is about five feet five.”
Putting down the phone, Jared looked at Nicole. “Wait in the room first. The clothes will be delivered in a while.”
Nicole looked at him with a gentle look in her eyes.” Thank you.”
‘That’s what a boyfriend should do.’
Jared fought back his fleeting desire, his self-control almost crumbling at the sight of her smile. He glanced away, forcing himself not to look at her anymore, and then turned and left the room.
Nicole looked at Jared as he left, a smile creeping across her face when she recalled his last explanation. This time, she could tell that he was not angry but self-restraining.
Downstairs , Claus was struggling with cooking. He was surprised when Jared walked over. “Why did you come down so quickly, not spending time with the hot chick?” When Jared brought Nicole upstairs, he thought Jared was doing what most men would have done.
Seeing that Jared did not answer, Claus seemed to have figured out something and laughed. “Ahh, Nicole is not a hot chick but an icy queen. Did you get frostbite?”
