Chapter 117 Bunking With The Big Bad Wolf

I was slack-jawed at his implied request to stay, and it took me a good while to regain my composure.

Once I did, though, I shoved the face towel at him and eked out, “I can’t host two people here. Dry yourself off; I’m going to make some ginger tea.”

Once I reached the haven known as my kitchen, I went through the motions of making ginger tea like a robot, chopping the ginger stiffly.

When Dominic called out to me about his intention to shower, I lost my attention for a split second and cut myself. The pain was enough to jolt me out of my trance.

The water began running in the bathroom, and I stared out the window and sighed.

I guess he can continue couch-surfing in my place for one more night.

After I plastered the cut, I dug through my pantry for a fresh piece of ginger and got back to work.

Dominic was still in the shower when I had finished brewing the ginger tea. Just then, a thought struck my mind. He got caught in the rain, as well as all the new clothes he bought. What’s he going to wear, then? I don’t want him parading around naked in my house.

I ran back to the bedroom in search of the clothes he was wearing earlier. It turned out he had thrown the entire set into the dust bin.

Ah, it must be nice to be rich; his clothes aren’t that cheap.

Frowning, I pondered what to do next. What on earth can he wear? My clothes?

Flinging my wardrobe open, I turned its contents upside down in search of suitably large clothing for him to wear. Alas, my efforts were futile.

Just as I was knee-deep in concern, I suddenly remembered a parcel Calvin had dropped off earlier. Didn’t he say that there were Dominic’s clothes in it? Yes, yes, I think he did. Now, where did I place that parcel?

I searched high and low before locating the parcel on the balcony. A thin layer of dust had settled on it.
