Chapter 74: Chapter 74

After all, he was a handsome man, and Flora felt embarrassed to look at him. Moreover, that face was once something she despised deeply, and looking at it would only bring up painful memories. She lowered her head, holding the documents, preparing to leave.

As she had just taken a few steps, Kevin's calm voice suddenly came from behind, "Bring me a glass of water."

"Oh, okay," Flora responded professionally, turning back to the water dispenser, pouring a glass of cold water, and walking over to him. Staring at his strong back, she suddenly wanted to see clearly, what kind of tattoo was hidden beneath the blue shirt. Was it as Chloe said, a snake?

While Kevin's personality was somewhere between Maxwell and Oliver, that touch of elegance was something she could only see in Oliver. She had never seen Maxwell carry himself elegantly!

"Miss Flora, what are you daydreaming about?" Kevin glanced at her disdainfully, mockingly. In front of him, she seemed to enjoy daydreaming, was it just because he resembled the brothers of the Smith Family? He was curious!

"I'm sorry, this is the water you asked for." Flora snapped out of her thoughts, quickly handing him the cup.

As if intentionally or unintentionally, she suddenly tripped over something on the floor, and with a soft sound, the cool water poured right onto Kevin, drenching him.

"Oh... I'm sorry... I'm sorry!" Flora hurriedly apologized, and "thoughtfully" went up to help him clean the water stains from his clothes.

Kevin instinctively jumped up from the sofa, looking at her with an angry expression, feeling a chill all over as water droplets rolled down his shirt.

Seeing him angry, Flora quickly took a towel and began to wipe him, but the already damp shirt could not be dried with just a wipe. Flora hesitated and cautiously spoke up, "I'm really sorry, Mr. Kevin. Why don't you change into another shirt? I can take this one and have it dry-cleaned right away."

Staring into his eyes, feeling both afraid and hopeful, Flora's heart started to race. She longed for the truth, yet she was afraid to see his body in this state. She felt conflicted.

The anger on Kevin's face suddenly disappeared, and instead, he gave her a dreamy smile, looking at her and saying, "Sure, I was thinking of changing. The shirts are in the wardrobe, can you help me find one?"

Flora felt uneasy with his sudden change of expression, and she suddenly found his smile more terrifying than his anger! She turned around and walked quickly to the wardrobe, opened the doors, and glanced at the clothes inside. She casually took out another blue shirt. Returning to Kevin, she handed the shirt to him and said, "Mr. Kevin, this is your shirt."

"Miss Flora, don't you help me change?" Kevin smirked as he looked her up and down, observing her eager yet embarrassed expression. An inclination for teasing rose within him.

"Hah, I'm sorry..." Flora awkwardly chuckled, taking a step forward and raising her small hand to touch the topmost button of his shirt. She began unbuttoning them one by one, each unbuttoning causing her heartbeat to quicken.

Countless emotions overwhelmed her as she stared at his shamelessly exposed athletic chest. Her face started to flush with a rosy hue. She suddenly found herself ridiculous, already having been with another man and one who looked the same. How could she still blush and have her heart race at the sight of a man's body?

Perhaps she was repulsed by this situation, as looking at his body reminded her of the scene where Maxwell forced himself upon her. Staring at the exquisitely sculpted chest before her, a dizzy feeling rushed to her forehead. A sense of discomfort surged from her chest as if a mountain was toppling down on her stomach, struggling to climb up toward her throat.

Flora hastily withdrew her hand, covering her mouth as she rushed towards the direction of the bathroom, leaning over the toilet bowl and dry heaving. She vomited until her face turned red and tears streamed down her face.

Oh my god! Did she develop a fear of handsome men? Flora lamented in her mind. She managed to escape at such a crucial moment. Oh, no!

After a while, Flora finally started to feel a bit better. She struggled to straighten herself up, looking at her pale face in the mirror. She splashed water on her face and rinsed her mouth before drying herself and preparing to leave. She wondered what that mesmerizing man outside was doing at the moment. Was he waiting for her to continue serving him? Hopefully, that's the case!

Just as she turned around, Flora felt a shadow cast over her, as a tall figure in black blocked the entire bathroom door. Flora froze for a moment, looking up at Kevin, whose expression was not very good, absentmindedly buttoning his shirt.

Her heart sank suddenly because she saw that he had already changed his shirt on his own, and she had lost the opportunity to find out the truth! Oh my god! It was all in vain!

"Miss Flora, does my body disgust you that much?" Kevin glared at her and opened his mouth in extreme dissatisfaction.

Other women, upon seeing his body, would express astonishment and an insane obsession. Yet this woman in front of him, upon seeing his body, was now violently retching over the toilet bowl?! He felt that his dignity was being seriously insulted!

"No...no, it's not like that! I...maybe I ate something wrong this morning." Flora hurriedly explained. She stared at his hands buttoning his shirt as if she wanted to stop him immediately, fiercely tear off his shirt, and find out what was underneath!

"You were very interested in my body! How about we...?" Kevin took a step forward, one hand gripping her slender waist, deliberately trailing off his words in an ambiguous manner, as he smirked wickedly at her.

Beneath the smile, there was icy anger. This woman, she attempted to scheme against him multiple times? She dared to drench him in water just to make him take off his clothes? Being as cunning as he was, how could he not understand her intentions? She wanted to see his body, but he refused to show her, making her itch with frustration!

"No—!" Flora screamed, pushing him away and rushing towards the door to escape.

As she grabbed onto the doorknob, Kevin's voice came from behind her, "Wait."
