A sudden feeling of suffocation left her gasping for air.
The terror of feeling like she was drowning jerked Chloe awake.
Somewhere along the way, she had fallen asleep in the bathtub, her body slipping down until the hot water just barely covered her nose.
She jerked upright, splashing water all over the tub.
Her hands tightly gripped the edge of the tub as she gasped for air.
Feeling that the water hadn't cooled much, she knew she hadn't been asleep for long.
But the memory of what just happened had her quickly standing up in the bathtub, washing off quickly under the shower, and then pulling on a white bathrobe that a maid had prepared for her in advance.
Even though she wasn't short for a woman, the bathrobe was big and loose, barely covering her chest.
After her bath, she didn't have much on her mind, she found a hairdryer on the counter outside the bathroom.
Her hair, which she hadn't taken good care of in a while, still had its natural color.
Because she had her hair tied up for a long time, it was curly, with strands of hair casually draped over her thin shoulders like seaweed.
Her face, without makeup, still had a flushed look from the hot bath.
Her dark hair, white bathrobe, and delicate pale neck made her look incredibly sexy.
Yet Chloe casually walked out, put on the slippers by the bathroom door, and calmly walked to the side of the bed. She lifted the covers and got into bed.
The bedding smelled nice.
Sleeping after a bath was one of the best things in the world.
It was still early, and the servants downstairs had started to prepare for dinner.
