She Killed My Ex

Chapter 129 Wait for Me in the Bed

Chapter 129 Wait for Me in the Bed

The hot water from the shower poured down from her head. She closed her eyes and let her thoughts run wild. She didn't know what would happen in the future.

It would be easier for her to give up. For a useless person like her, no one would like her or help her. It would be easier for her just gave herself away. But, she wasn't willing to accept it.

Before Delores's debts were paid off, she had no reason to give up.

As for that man, Caroline was getting annoyed. How long did she still want to be muddled with him?

She couldn't do it anymore. She couldn't just sit and wait. Initially, she was hoping that he would get tired of her soon so that she would be asked to leave without her taking the risk of offending him. As for the money matter, she would think about it later. The priority was to find a way to get out of his sight.

After taking a shower, Caroline looked at the mirror over and over again. Then, she put on the clothes she wore earlier and dawdled in the bathroom.

She didn't know how long it had passed. She thought it should be over 30 or 40 minutes. She was thinking that if the man hadn't left, he would have been very impatient after waiting for so long and already urged her from the outside.

But as of that moment, there was no sound from the outside.

She felt relieved. She stretched out her hand and pushed the door open. When she raised her head and looked around, she was stunned immediately.

In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, the man still hadn't left and he was next to the desk lamp.

He was sitting on the single calfskin couch like a modest and elegant gentleman. Caroline was standing at the door of the bathroom. She didn't want to move because she didn't want to get too close to him. If it was possible, what she wanted the most at that moment was to simply close the bathroom door with a "bang" to distance herself from him.

But in the reality, things went contrary to one's wishes.

Hearing the movement, that man raised his head from the book in his hand and glanced at her. His eyes looked extremely deep and aggressive.

But it only stayed on her for less than two seconds before it passed by.

Caroline secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, with a "splat" sound, that man stood up from the couch and walked towards her. He was approaching her very calmly.

Caroline couldn't see her expression but that man could see it clearly.

She looked defensive. If one was going to measure how defensive she felt by the earthquake's density, it must be at the level of seven or eight. There was a spreading pain in her heart. But he deliberately ignored it and walked in her direction.

While he was approaching her, she couldn't help but stepped back a little. She was staring at the person in front of her as if he was the devil who destroyed the village back then. That stare made him feel very uncomfortable.

He took another step closer to her. That woman finally couldn't hide the unspeakable fear deep in her heart, and her expression became nervous and flustered, "You..."

"Are you done showering?" The magnetic voice sounded right after.

Caroline still stared at that man with undiminished vigilance, "Yeah."

"You've done showering, but I'm not yet."

Caroline was speechless. The deep voice and the calm tone made Caroline can't get the meaning of his words instantly. After a while, she seemed to understand him and responded with an "Ah." Then she asked subconsciously, "Mr. Shawn, do you want to shower here?"

She frowned tightly and thought to herself, "What kind of trick is he playing again?"

"This is my house. Where am I going to shower if it isn't here?" The man walked around Caroline and picked up a clean bathrobe from a stand beside her. Then, he turned around and looked at the person who was blocking the bathroom indifferently. He told the woman who was sneaking at the door constantly and said, "Stop looking at it. The elevator was locked just now. You can't get down. So, be good and wait for me in bed."

Her face turned pale instantly. She turned her head and stared at the man who was unbuttoning his shirt in disbelief. The hands hanging by her side were clenched into fists. She kept clenching her fist and she was also worried at the same time. She thought to herself, "What does he mean by that?"

Her mind was turning fast to figure out the situation. She was wondering if it was the time to beg him but she didn't think it was that bad yet.

"What are you doing here in a daze? Sit on the bed and wait for me. Don't fall asleep." That man's voice wasn't harsh, but it was clear that he was ordering her and his words made her dare not to disobey him. The last words that he emphasized " Don't fall asleep" made Caroline's mind even more flustered.

He hastily closed the door of the bathroom. When Caroline lowered her head and looked at her bare feet, she remembered that she left her shoes in the bathroom while she was taking the

shower.

Then, she turned her head and glanced at the bathroom with the closed door.

She didn't care whether she was wearing her shoes or not, she quickly left the bedroom with bare feet and ran straight to the elevator. Then, she pressed the elevator button several times, but the elevator didn't move at all.

Caroline's mind was spinning fast. She was thinking that would buy her some time since he was taking a shower. If the elevator on this floor was locked, he would have kept the remote control or magnetic card. She turned around and went to check on the coffee table, shoe cabinet, and all the places where the magnetic cards or remote controls could be.

Unfortunately, she found nothing.

She turned her head and stopped her gaze at the bedroom with a little bit of dim light from the door and hesitated for a while. She got no choice but gritted her teeth and returned to that bedroom.

The sound of the shower in the bathroom continued, and Caroline breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, she recalled that what she needed to do was to look for the remote control or magnetic card.

Without further delay, she immediately searched the bedside table. While she was searching, she also paid attention to the sound of the water flowing in the bathroom.

She didn't notice that the door of the bathroom had opened silently. The man stood with his arms crossed in a leisurely manner, standing at the door of the bathroom, and watching her every move.

Caroline was so anxious and kept thinking to herself, "Where are you?"

"Where should it be?" She searched all the places that she could think of but she found nothing.

"What are you looking for?" There was a soft voice heard from her back. Caroline was caught in shock. She stood there in a daze.

The man looked at her leisurely without urging her. About a minute later, the woman beside the bed turned her head awkwardly and moved her uncoordinated limbs with her eyes wide open.

"You...The water...You...The water..." She looked pale. She pointed at the man at the door of the bathroom and pointed at the shower that was still running. She thought to herself, "He should be still in the shower. How long has he been looking at me by standing at the door?"

Caroline couldn't imagine how long the door had been open and how long that man had been standing behind her. Suddenly, she felt that she was a joke. It seemed like he had everything controlled in his hand and no matter how hard she was trying to escape, she would be unable to get rid of him.

That feeling made her startled and irritable.

"Oh. Do you mean that the water is still running? Didn't I tell you there is a glass wall in the bathroom which you couldn't see through from the outside but not from the inside?"

"I..."

"Why didn't you see it?" He asked the question for her and chuckled lightly, "Maybe it's because most of the time, the folding curtain is closed. I pulled it up just now."

While he was talking, he was heading back into the bathroom and turned off the shower faucet. When he returned, he raised the magnetic card in his hand and asked, "Are you looking for this?"
