Chapter 38 A Beautiful Woman
This bowl of plain noodles had no seasoning; the soup looked almost like water.
When the soup splashed onto Haley's chest, her clothes immediately became soaked, clearly outlining the contours of her undergarments.
"I-I'm sorry!" Owen was scared to death. Haley had come to see him, and he had done such a stupid thing.
"Let me wipe it for you." He hurriedly grabbed tissues to wipe Haley's chest.
Ivan’s eyebrows suddenly twitched. For some reason, he felt disgusted seeing Owen touch this woman's intimate area.
He stood up coldly. "Mrs. DeRoss, you should go change your clothes."
Haley covered her chest with tissues. Her shirt was completely wet, and it seemed like her underwear was damp too. Dressed like this, she couldn't possibly go out.
She pursed her lips. "I'd like to take a shower and dry my clothes. Is Mr. Winston okay with that?"
“Okay, of course!” Owen nodded eagerly, taking Haley’s hand and leading her upstairs.
He opened the door to a room on the second floor. "This is my room, and there are many new clothes in my wardrobe. Feel free to choose, pick one."
The wardrobe door opened, revealing a collection of cool clothes for boys. No matter how petite she was, she couldn't fit into children's clothes.
"Mrs. DeRoss, there are dresses for women over here." Ivan, who knows when he arrived, stood at the door of the room and casually threw this sentence. Haley touched Owen's head and followed Ivan to the next room.
In this room, there was a large clothes rack, with a row of brand new luxury dresses, hanging on it, still with their tags on.
"Choose whatever you like." Ivan sat on the sofa, speaking in a calm voice.
Haley pursed her lips: "Thank you, Mr. Winston."
She approached the clothes rack and randomly picked out a white dress. As she was about to take the dress to the bathroom, she noticed a note attached to it. The note had a name written on it, Emily. These clothes were prepared for Emily!
She suddenly felt like she was holding something dirty in her hands and hastily put it back.
The fact that the Winston family had a whole row of clothes prepared for Emily could only mean that Emily and Ivan's relationship was even closer than she had imagined.
Haley suddenly didn't want to change into the clothes anymore. She pursed her lips and said, "I think I'll just go back home and change, Mr. Winston. I'll leave now."
Ivan squinted his eyes. He could sense that this woman's emotions suddenly changed after seeing these clothes. Was there a problems with these new clothes?
He casually said, "Mrs. DeRoss, your face alone is enough to commit a crime. What are you trying to do by going out dressed like this?"
Haley lowered her head. She could see that her cleavage was clearly on display, having been soaked, and her pink lace bra was clearly visible. It really wasn't appropriate to go out like this.
She took a deep breath and said, “Then, I’ll dry the clothes.”
Ivan got up and walked out of the room, only to return shortly after with a shirt in his hand.
"This is my shirt. If you don't mind, you can wear it temporarily." He threw the shirt over to her.
Haley quickly caught it. She would rather wear Ivan's shirt, than touch anything that belonged to Emily. She took the shirt and went into the bathroom.
The sound of the showerhead turning on could be heard as, Ivan sat outside and suddenly felt a bit dry in his mouth. He glanced to the side and could vaguely see a figure behind the glass door of the bathroom.
After dealing with the soup stains on her chest, Haley started washing her clothes. She tossed Ivan's shirt aside, and didn't intend to put it on. However, after washing her clothes, she realized that there was no hairdryer in the bathroom.
Whether she went out to find one or had the man outside bring it in, she couldn’t be completely naked in front of him. Helpless, she could only put the shirt on.
The white shirt, was large, with the hem reaching her knees, covering her from top to bottom completely. After checking herself in the mirror and finding nothing wrong, Haley opened the bathroom door and walked out.
A misty steam filled the bathroom, enveloping her like a thin veil. Even her skin seemed to be adorned with a watery mist, fair and baby-like.
Ivan looked up. He froze, completely stunned. He had never lost his composure over anything before. Even when Emily showed up at his door holding their two sons, he remained calm and composed.
But now, he was just standing there, dumbfounded. This woman was astonishingly beautiful. No wonder, she had been crowned as Cuenca's number one beauty, when she was in her teens; she truly lived up to the reputation.
Under the scorching gaze, even Haley, who was usually composed, couldn’t help but feel a bit embarrassed.
She cleared her throat and aske“, "Mr. Winston, may I ask where the hairdryer is?"
Her voice snapped Ivan out of his stupor. Damn it, what was he doing, staring at a woman who had just taken a bath! Where were his manners?
"I'll get the hairdryer for you." Ivan hurriedly left the room. He found the hairdryer in his own bedroom and was about to go to the adjacent room when he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
He couldn’t look at that woman again, it would cause trouble. He was about to call Alfred to bring the hairdryer over. Then he realized, Alfred was also a man, even though he was old, he was still a man. Men's vile instincts were all the same. Ivan reluctantly handed the hairdryer to Haley.
"Thank you, Mr. Winston."
Haley turned around and entered the bathroom, closed the door, and focused on drying her clothes. Ivan sat outside, listening to the buzzing sound of the hairdryer, and the heat in his heart slowly dissipated. Ten minutes later, Haley came out after she finished dressing.
She had a polite smile on her face. "Mr. Winston, thank you so much for your help, I've washed and dried your shirt."
She handed over the snow-white shirt to Ivan. He took it. There seemed to be a faint lingering fragrance of a woman on the clothing.
He said calmly, "Come to the Winston Group tomorrow. We will formally discuss our cooperation.“
"Okay, see you tomorrow." Haley walked downstairs in her high-heeled shoes.
Owen was in the living room doing his homework. When he saw her coming downstairs, he happily rushed over, "Haley, can you stay a little longer?"
How could Haley dare to stay any longer? The gaze of that man just now was terrifying, as if he was looking at prey.
’"I'll come see you another time. I have something to attend to today, Owen. Don't pester me, or I won't come next time."
Owen waved sadly, "Okay, Haley, see you next time."
