Rural Belle & Three Heirs by Harper Hall

Chapter 229 Humble and Submissive

She stammered, "Mr. Martin, I... I'm sorry, I just..."

Rena's panic made Michael chuckle softly. He could see how scared she was of him.

His hand brushed past her face and reached for the hairdryer on the shelf behind her.

Holding the hairdryer, he spoke to her seriously, "You're overthinking it. I'm not interested in you tonight.

How old are you? Don't you know you need to dry your hair after a shower?

You're my employee. Do you know that if you catch a cold, I'm the one who has to pay for your medicine? Take care of yourself. It's not easy for me to make money."

Michael was always talkative, and when it came to teasing Rena, he had a lot to say.

Rena was still sobbing.

Michael said to her, "Turn around. I'll dry your hair."

Rena quickly refused. As a personal assistant, having her boss dry her hair seemed a bit too much.

She stammered, "Mr. Martin, I can do it myself."

Michael ignored her and turned her around, starting to dry her hair himself.

Being a celebrity, Michael had taken courses in makeup and image management, so he was quite skilled at drying hair.

His movements were gentle, and the hairdryer was set to a warm, comfortable temperature. As his fingers ran through her hair, Rena felt a warm sensation in her heart.

While drying her hair, Michael praised her.
