In the world, delicacies were probably the only counter for people with mysophobia.
Culver had despised the street for its dirtiness, but after tasting the food, he completely gave up on being fastidious about himself and his surroundings.
Later onwards, they ate all the way along the food street. It was not until the sky had darkened that they finally went back.
After taking a shower, Naomi received a call from Emma the moment she came out from the bathroom.
"The situation isn't good. I can't hold on any longer! How's it going over there?"
Emma's words filled Naomi with anxiety. "Try your best, I'll think of a way as soon as possible!" Naomi said to her.
After hanging up on the call, she got up and tidied herself.
Naomi felt that Culver seemed content after he spent a day on a trip full of delicacies with her. Therefore, she thought it would be a good opportunity to ask him for help.
Thinking of that, she took a deep breath and knocked on the door of Culver's room.
Nobody answered her. Hence, she tried to turn the doorknob, only to find that it was not locked. As soon as she walked in, she heard the sound of the bathroom door being opened.
She was stunned and subconsciously wanted to leave, but Culver had already come out.
He had been taking a shower just then.
What was more, he was not wearing a bathrobe, instead only the lower half of his body was wrapped in a simple bath towel. He had just finished showering, and there were still drops of water hanging on the hair near his forehead.
Presently, the water droplets slid down from his hair to his chest.
Naomi couldn't help but swallow hard while he asked her.
Culver asked her, "What can I do for you?"
Naomi's heart was palpitating. She came back to her senses, and hurriedly turned around to avoid looking at him.
"Ahem, there's indeed something I need to talk to you about!"
"Say it!"
Upon hearing his words, Naomi turned back unconsciously. When she saw his masculine body again, she turned around again.
She pursed her lips and said, "I am in no hurry. You can dress yourself first!"
"No need. I'm good."
His attitude rendered her speechless.
"Shouldn't you at least put on a robe?"
Culver quirked his eyebrow as he replied, "Are you afraid that you won't be able to control yourself?"
Naomi was astounded.
"Hey, don't be so narcissistic!"
Culver ignored her and went to get a bathrobe, and then put it on. He was feeling smug about his ability to attract her.
Naomi couldn't help rolling her eyes at him. It was an instinct for her to be captivated by virile men, but she was in her right mind.
Naomi didn't want to dwell on that topic.
So, she said with a smile, "Well, it's about my company, the one you tried to bring down when I left Greene City last time. Now that everything has been cleared up, and you know it was all a misunderstanding, could you please rescind the order?"
Culver nodded and replied, "So, that's what you want to talk about. Believe it or not, I've also been thinking about it lately."
Naomi immediately smiled and said, "Then, it's a deal, right? I..."
Before she could finish her words, Culver asked her another question.
"What do you think of me?"
Naomi looked completely nonplussed, wondering what the point was in asking her that at the moment. However, she was asking him for a favor, thus she definitely didn't want to offend him.
Furthermore, after hanging out with him for a day, she found that he was actually not that despicable. Sometimes, she even felt that he had an appealing personality.
Therefore, she flattered him.
"You're handsome and dashing. I think girls will like you very much."
