Katrina is relieved to hear that.
Then she suddenly feels that something is wrong.
She"s not related to Aaron, and in fact, she"s in the opposition. It will be weird if Aaron pays for her!
She"ll be like a… mistress.
Katrina is shocked by the thought and shakes her head hard to get rid of the idea.
Anyway, he"s the one keeping her imprisoned. He"s supposed to provide her with shelter, food, and a change of clothes. It would be cruel to let her go naked or wear dirty clothes every day.
She won"t take the clothes for herself. When he lets her go, she"ll return them to him.
Katrina feels a little more comfortable with the thought.
After a moment"s silence, Katrina notices two pesky men trailing behind her.
Aaron"s two heelers are keeping a good distance behind them.
He takes her out to buy clothes but still has two men escort her. Is he afraid she"ll escape?
Katrina can"t help rolling her eyes. Aaron thinks too much of her.
It"s not enough for him to watch her alone. He had to call two more.
As Katrina is deep in thought, Aaron picks up a dress from the hanger and hands it to her. "Try this one."
Katrina takes the dress and tries it on inside the fitting room.
When she walks out of the fitting room, Aaron nods and turns to the clerk. "Wrap it up."
Katrina is stunned by Aaron"s dictatorial a.s.sertiveness.
Aaron actually brought her here not to accompany her, but because she doesn"t have the right to choose and speak for herself. She"s like a doll for testing clothes. He has her try on whatever he likes. If he"s satisfied, he buys it immediately.
But she has to admit that he has good taste. As long as the clothes he chooses won"t be ugly on her, it"s fine. But the man is too domineering that he even controls what she wears.
Katrina found a pattern in Aaron"s choice for clothes, and they"re all pink.
He seems to have pink mania, picking clothes in light pink or a flashy dark pink.
She remembers Farrah saying before that pink is the best color for her skin, especially the pink nurse dress that makes her look very pure and beautiful. The pink color makes her white skin clearer, brighter, and more beautiful.
But no matter how beautiful she looks in color, there"s no need for her to change her whole wardrobe into pink.
Katrina can"t help feeling a little surprised that such a domineering man would have a preference for such a feminine color.
After checking out at the counter, the heelers behind him are carrying four or five bags.
Katrina doesn"t know if they"ve been spying on her until this point, but she"s certain that they must be his servants, who carry things for him.
After walking around the entire floor, the bodyguards behind him are covered in shopping bags like a Christmas tree.
They go to another floor.
Although the mall has few customers, it has a large-scale and complex structure, with several escape routes.
Katrina follows Aaron, secretly familiarizing herself with the terrain and looking for a chance to escape.
Since they"re outside, she has a chance to escape.
There"s so much security in his villa that even a fly cannot flee.
Before she realizes it, they"re already in the lingerie section.
Deep in thought about running away, Katrina doesn"t notice when Aaron suddenly stops.
She crashes against his back and feels a sharp pain on her nose. The pain makes her eyes wet with tears, and she involuntarily takes a step back.
What did the man grow up on? Why is his back as hard as steel?
When a small body b.u.mps into Aaron and bounces back, he looks back and sees Katrina with tears streaming down her face.
This stupid woman walks so carelessly.
"Let me see." Aaron frowns and grabs her wrist.
He doesn"t even realize that for the first time, he"s concerned if she"s hurt.
Before Katrina can respond, he"s taken her hand to look at her sore nose.
In the face of his handsome face and close scrutiny, Katrina goes red in the face when she vaguely feels his breath on her skin.
Why is he suddenly so close to her?
She"s still unused to having him stare at her so intensely.
Katrina finally figures out why the leading lady always closes her eyes when the hero kisses her on TV. There"s nowhere else to look in such a situation.
Although she knows it"s inappropriate to compare herself to the heroine, she"s dying from embarra.s.sment. If Aaron keeps looking at her, she might actually close her eyes.
The tip of her nose is just a little red, and it doesn"t look too bad.
After making sure Katrina isn"t hurt, Aaron feels relieved. He straightens up, making Katrina feel better.
"Katrina," Aaron quips, "What are you blus.h.i.+ng about?"
At Aaron"s words, Katrina freezes and slaps her face with her hand. "It"s a little hot. Can"t you feel it?"
She would never admit that she was shy.
Katrina"s performance fails to trick him. She"s clearly shy, he thought.
He only approached her casually, and her face became as red as a tomato. What would happen to her if he actually kissed her?
Instead of exposing Katrina"s lie, Aaron grunts and turns to the store,
Katrina is stunned at the sight of the store filled with lingerie.
Did he suddenly stop because he wants to go there and buy her underwear?
Although she needs it, how can she let Aaron buy something so personal?
Even if he has no qualms about doing it, Katrina refuses to accept it.
"Aaron Wilson" she grabs his arm quickly and hisses, "I can go by myself! Wait outside for me for a few minutes, and I"ll be right out!"
No one has ever bought underwear with Katrina beside her best friend, let alone a man.
It"s not good to go into a lingerie store with a man.
At Katrina"s request, Aaron nods graciously. "Okay, you go in. I"ll wait here."
