CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

“That's right,” Shane laughed. “Go ahead and shower, then.”

He withdrew the hand that he had secured Natalie's waist with and helped her up.

The moment Natalie got on her feet, she bolted toward the bathroom as if afraid that Shane would go back on his word if she gave him any time.

Shane watched Natalie's hasty departure with a smirk on his face. He then drew down his towel from around his neck and continued drying his hair.

Inside the bathroom, Natalie had stripped herself down and entered the bathtub, leaning against its side.

Her presence automatically activated the massager, which began vigorously pressing on her tired muscles.

Letting out a rapturous sigh of relief, she stretched herself out and closed her eyes, enjoying her moment of relaxation.

After approximately half an hour, only when she felt the water starting to get cold around her did Natalie reluctantly climb out of the tub and head back out in her bathrobe.

Shane had turned off the lights in the bedroom, leaving only the soft yellow glow of the bedside lamp. Meanwhile, he was lying completely still on the bed.

Natalie tiptoed over to the side of the bed. She then bent down, peering to see if Shane had indeed fallen asleep.
