"Go to them.” Theo turned a deaf ear and got up to walk up to me. He said with a smile, "I'll wipe it for you, then."
Elena probably thought I was being a hindrance and glared at me with an unkind gaze. She only turned around and left when Theo took the towel from my hand.
Theo looked at me and said helplessly, "You don't want to blow dry your hair and are too lazy to wipe with a towel. If you're like this, you'll get sick easily.”
I smiled. "Why don’t you wipe it for me, then?"
Theo raised his eyebrows. "Happy to serve you."
He started wiping my hair after saying that. His actions were extremely gentle.
I cast my eyes down and stared at Theo's leather shoes. It seemed like he was in a rush to leave the door this morning that he forgot to put on the polished pair that Caroline had prepared for him.
Later, I found him staring at me with a cool and tender gaze. The swirl in his dark pupils seemed to have the ability to swallow a person.
"Is there something on my face?" I instinctively touched my face.
Theo chuckled, and there was a flash of light in his eyes. "No.”
I pursed my lips. “Shall we have lunch together?"
"What do you want to have?"
"Anything."
Theo nodded. "We'll go out and take a look."
He still had a meeting to attend. Keith came several times to rush him but he only left after wiping my hair dry.
