Ariah blushed. While cooking in the kitchen, she thought of Jimmy's figure in the bathroom.
This man loved sports, so he would jog every morning and go to the gym three times a week. His body figure was extremely good, and his muscles were so strong that he could carry her up very easily.
Just now in the bathroom, he had said that he forgot to take his pajamas. That was obviously a trick, which he had used many times in the past in order to take advantage of her.
She had already seen through this dirty trick, so she ran away after throwing the clothes at him.
After preparing the food, Jimmy came out of the bathroom and stood at the table while staring at her. "You are getting smarter now, huh?"
As she rolled her eyes at him, she ordered, "Sit down and eat!"
While enjoying the food, water was dripping down from his hair. With a look of disgust, she said, "Can't you wipe your hair?"
Jimmy was eating noodles with his head down, and he didn't even look up when he suggested, "Wipe it for me."
That rendered her speechless.
What did he mean by that? Was she a maid?
Ariah glared at him for a while and saw that he had not moved at all. The water droplets on his hair almost dripped into the bowl, so she gritted her teeth and went to find a towel to wipe his hair.
The corners of Jimmy's mouth thus curled up while eating.
Men and women were different in terms of physical ability, including eating. Jimmy finished a bowl of noodles very quickly, after which he looked at her with his eyebrows raised. "Why do you suddenly treat me so well? Since when have you become so obedient?"
Ariah snorted, "That's right, my personality has changed. Is there anything wrong with that?"
If it weren't for the fact that he had saved her once, she wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to him.
Following a chuckle, he said, "That's great. You've changed a lot. Men love gentle, caring women."
Irritated, she blurted out, "Do you mean someone like Anna?"
After saying that, Ariah realized her words had been too harsh.
The atmosphere between the two of them was soon filled with awkwardness and anger.
With her lips curled, she responded, "I'm going to wash the dishes."
Clearing his throat, he said, "I'm going to brush my teeth."
After they pushed the chairs away, they got up at the same time and left.
While standing before the basin, she stared at the dripping water for a long while before sighing. She then retracted her thoughts and told herself not to think about it any longer.
Coming out, Jimmy saw Ariah making a phone call while sitting on the sofa in the living room.
"Who are you calling?" he asked casually.
"Ricco." Ariah didn't even look up.
