Chapter 11
Which planet did he come from? Why was he so fastidious?
Alicia screamed internally. Yet, she had no choice but to step into the bathroom as she stared at Frederick's indifferent figure.
She closed the bathroom door and she paused in the middle of the bathroom. She glanced at the spotless bathroom that was sparkling clean. She noticed that everything was arranged neatly, including all the toiletries. There was no trace that any of it was previously used. Immediately, she could imagine what a clean freak he was.
How exhausting would it be to live with a man like this?
Alicia's gaze eventually fell on a red-colored basket on the counter and saw that it was packed with travel-size disposable toiletries. Instantly, she knew that this was the "red box" that he mentioned and prepared for her!
She was so pissed that she almost went ballistic when she recalled the series of rules he told her.
"How dare he say that I have body odor?"
She raised her arm to take a sniff and she could not help but scoff. Since childhood, everyone regardless of gender, who were close to her would envy her smooth skin and the fresh fragrance on her body! He disliked it? He was clearly out of his mind!
Would life be so hard on her in the future? It was just the beginning but how was she going to continue living like this?
No way!
Suddenly, she recalled what happened at the dining table. An idea stroke her and she unlocked the door that she previously locked.
After that, she popped open a bottle of shower gel and poured it on the floor. She noticed the toiletries on the shelf and she messed it up too. Then, she combed her hair with a brush and left some hair on the corner of the brush deliberately. She was almost done and picked up a bottle of lightly scented essential oil and opened the lid before letting it flow out freely on the floor. A few moments later, the bathroom was filled with the scent of the essential oil.
When everything was ready, Alicia took off her clothes and wrapped herself in a bath towel before standing under the shower. First, she placed a towel on the floor to mute the sound of water and wet herself with warm water. She then kicked the towel aside and turned the temperature to the highest. She even stretched out her arm to scald it intentionally and screamed.
"Ah-"
Sure enough, Frederick broke through the door the next second and roared furiously, "What are you doing?"
This d*mned woman!
A fragrance wafted towards Frederick. He noticed that the bathroom was messy and full of steam. Meanwhile, Alicia was standing in a corner, wrapped in a bath towel and the water was splashing everywhere. Every step he took, he was tempted to murder her.
Immediately, Frederick rushed to the shower and turned off the switch swiftly. He scolded, "Alicia Blanchard! Did you ignore what I told you?"
After looking around, he was extremely annoyed.
Alicia was sobbing and did not defend herself. Instead, she lowered her head and wept as she muttered apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'll clean it up right away!"
She was not pretending. She never expected the water to be scalding hot and her arm would be burning in pain.
Frederick glared at her and noticed that she was caressing her arm which had turned red. Her skin was very fair especially under the white light at night. However, it was shocking to see that there was a large area turning red on her flawless skin. She was only wrapped in a bath towel and seemed to be drenched as water continued to drip from her damp hair. She looked very pitiful.
Frederick saw Alicia bending over to pick up the bottles on the floor and was even trying to get the mop. Immediately, he grabbed her by the other arm and tried to suppress his anger as he spoke. "What's happened?"
Alicia answered timidly, "I was afraid that I would dirty the bathroom, hence I wanted to wash my hair first. Yet, I didn't know how to turn on the shower and I think I pressed the wrong button because the water was not coming out. It was then that I found out that I took the wrong shampoo an I wanted to change it. However, the hot water came pouring down suddenly, so I..."
