Donnie made a face but said nothing.
After the dinner was over, the two left Pan Xing's estate and returned to the hotel.
The next day, Donnie was woken up by a knock at the door.
Wrapped in a bathrobe, Donnie opened the door to find the lovely Helen Taft standing there. Seeing Donnie's appearance, she said awkwardly,
"Sorry, Donnie, I thought you were already awake!"
"Clearly, you were mistaken," Donnie said as he rubbed his hair.
"Ah?" Helen Taft was taken aback by Donnie's response.
Seeing her reaction, Donnie laughed, "Just kidding. I was planning to get up around this time anyway!"
Only then did Helen Taft's worries dissipate.
"But you'll have to wait a bit. I need to take a shower; otherwise, it would be impolite to be in the company of a beautiful lady like this," he said.
Donnie gestured to himself in the bathrobe.
Helen Taft laughed cheerfully, "Okay, I'll wait for you in the living room!"
