Michelle Campbell bit her lip in frustration and, after struggling for a while, eventually resigned herself to picking up the bath towel, wrapping her body in it.
It wasn't until her hair was dry that Michelle opened the bathroom door.
She didn't step out immediately but instead poked her head out, peering outside.
Samuel Noah Jackson was still by the bedside, watching the news...
After tightening the towel wrapped around her body, Michelle slowly walked out of the bathroom.
...
Samuel was watching news about City S, and when he heard the sound from the bathroom, he turned his line of sight in that direction.
At this sight, his gaze couldn't help but pause... A look of surprise flashed across his cold and detached face...
His eyes focused on Michelle, looking like they were fixed in place...
She was wearing a bath towel, exposing her fair and delicate shoulders and arms, as well as her exquisite collarbones...
This image made Samuel involuntarily swallow.
