Josie Forced herself to remain calm
Why do you wear a mask Mark asked a seemingly unrelated question
Josie’s heart trembled nervously. I have a cold and don’t want to spread it to anyone
Mark looked away and put down the wine glass. Since you have a cold, you should go out now. You
don’t have to come back anymore.
Josse tried to say something but stopped herself. She had more things to say but realized on second
thought that she had talked long enough. Thus, she nodded and left the room.
She breathed in the fresh air and calmed down. When she looked up, she was surprised to see Arnold.
He had been standing outside all this while.
“What’s wrong?”
“Mark discovered me.”

Josie was still covered in cold sweat. She waited until they entered the elevator, asking. “Why didn’t
you leave?”
“I was worried that they might kill you.” He was not joking. These people did terrible things as you Josie
recalled Mark’s expression. Tm afraid some of my words have gotten to them. Arnold
No matter the outcome, what she did was damaging to his interest.
Arnold looked at Josie’s reflection in the elevator mirror. “It’s not your first time apologizing to me
Furthermore, how sure are you that they would listen to you?”
I have confidence.”

Why wat he willing to help me unconditionally? Perhaps…
She smacked her face. “Josie, what are you thinking?”
To her surprise, Arnold was still in the room when she walked out of the bathroom with a towel around
her body. He sat on the floor quietly, playing a game. Josie instinctively tightened her towel around
herself, ensuring it covered her properly.
“Why are you still here?”
Arnold sensed her approaching him. He did not look up but continued to focus on the game Josie

Her hair stands were damp and felt ticklish on his skin.
“Is it wrong for me to enter my room?”
Josie had nothing to say.
Then, Arnold sighed and ended the game beautifully. Then, he snatched the towel from her hand and
pulled open a nearby drawer without a word. There was a hair dryer inside.
He plugged it in and used it to blow dry Josie’s hair.
Josie stiffened and felt the gentle warm air on her hair. “What are you doing?”
“You’ve gone through surgery easily, so you must be careful not to catch a cold. Shouldn’t you be

Arnold dried her hair properly and was pleased with the result.
Josie felt awkward and dared not turn around to look at him.
On the other hand, Arnold behaved naturally and offered her his phone. “You can play any games you

Josie glanced at the screen and discovered he had installed various games.

Josie was angry and frustrated.
Arnold looked at the phone before regarding her expression. He pondered for a while before daring to
