Sophie Smith watched warily as Asher Land kept approaching her. She was barefoot on the bathroom floor, which was a bit slippery, and she nearly fell, but he reacted quickly and reached out to steady her.
He actually didn't mean any harm; he just saw her holding a towel with one hand and a hairdryer with the other, seeming a bit flustered, and wanted to help her.
He wrapped his arms around her slightly, adjusted her towel, and then, under her surprised gaze, closed the bathroom door.
What a scare! Sophie secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
She dried her hair and changed clothes, only to find that Asher Land was not in the bedroom. She went downstairs and saw Asher Land and Irene Morton sitting at the dining table, waiting for her.
"I have a shooting notice from the company this afternoon, so I'm leaving first." Actually, she was a bit afraid of being alone with Asher Land, though she didn't know why.
"Have lunch before you go."
