Get off?
Only then did Aurelia realize she was sitting on Leslie’s back.
She yelled in shock and crawled onto the bed without hesitation, diving under the covers.
Leslie got up and said in a husky voice, “I’ll freshen up first.”
Aurelia vigorously nodded from underneath the covers.
It wasn’t until she heard the door closing that she peeked her head out and buried her face back into the sheets.
How embarrassing.
Before she could dwell on her regrets, her phone on the nightstand rang.
She grabbed it and answered.
“Hello.”
Heavy breathing sounded from the other end, followed by a hesitant female voice.
“Who are you?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe voice sounded familiar to Aurelia, and after a brief mental search, she remembered having answered this phone during her low blood sugar incident.
Realizing she had picked up the wrong phone again, Aurelia immediately responded, “Um… just hold on a moment.”
Setting the phone aside, she stood up and walked to the bathroom door to knock.
“Mr. Synder, you have a call. I accidentally took the wrong phone. Our phones look the same. It’s really not…”
“I’m taking a shower. Get them to call back later.”
Leslie’s voice was quite loud, likely because he was worried she wouldn’t hear him otherwise.
Aurelia immediately envisioned his eight-pack abs.
She covered her face to suppress thoughts she shouldn’t have, then turned around to pick up phone.
However, the call had already been disconnected.
Without much thought, Aurelia placed the phone back.
She stretched lazily and yawned.

As she yawned, Leslie walked out of the bathroom, wearing only pajama bottoms.
His upper body was exposed, revealing his tight abdominal muscles.
Beads of water slid down his skin, leaving Aurelia breathless.
She stood up anxiously.
“I’ll freshen up too.”
She took two pieces of clothing from the wardrobe, intending to use the guest bathroom.
However, she mistakenly grabbed Leslie’s clothes and awkwardly handed them to him.
“Be careful not to catch a cold, Mr. Synder.”
Embarrassed by her own excuse, she ran out with her head down.
Leslie looked at the clothes in his hand and curved his lips.
After regaining her composure in the bathroom, Aurelia stepped outside and ran into Leslie.
He was fully dressed now, but she still felt like she could see his body through his clothes.
Her mind was running wild again.
She didn’t know where all these thoughts cfrom.
Not daring to look up, she turned and entered the kitchen.

“Mr. Synder, it was a woman calling just now.”
She was thinking about it in the bathroom.
It was early in the morning and a woman called Leslie.
The woman sure sounded confrontational when she asked Aurelia who she was.
Could this be Leslie’s confidante?
Realizing that there was something off with her tone, she looked away.
“I’m just making casual conversation. You don’t have to say anything.”
“My company has branches overseas as well. It’s a colleague.”
“Okay.”
Aurelia smiled and sighed a breath of relief.
But why was she relieved?
She absentmindedly made breakfast and lunch, before saving Linda a portion.
