In the afternoon, Aaron asks a designer to come home and take Katrina"s measurements.
Since he"s taking her to a charity dinner tomorrow, he has to take her measurements and help her choose a dress.
As Aaron"s companion to a formal occasion, Katrina naturally can"t come in looking miserable and shabby.
Aaron is sitting on the couch, going through his emails on his laptop. Katrina is lying in the armchair, dozing in the sun with a novel in her hands. At her feet, Beta is dozing with her.
Just then, Randy comes up to them respectfully. "Mr. Wilson, the designer is here."
"Let her in." Aaron closes his laptop and tells Katrina, "Come here."
Katrina wasn"t asleep and heard the sound. Opening her eyes, she puts down her book and walks towards Aaron in a daze.
Randy leads a slim and beautiful man into the room. "h.e.l.lo, Mr. Wilson. I"m George. I"m taking this lady"s measurements, right?" he asks, walking towards Katrina with a tape measure in his hand.
Aaron couldn"t help frowning at the man in front of him.
Although he looks gay, he"s still a man.
The dress needs to fit perfectly, and since the designer will Katrina"s figure, his hands are bound to touch Katrina"s body.
Aaron will never be happy to see another man touch her, not even a finger!
George is eager to take Katrina"s measurements, but Aaron pulls her into his arms.
He looks up at George and asks, "No female designer?"
George becomes stunned. "My female a.s.sistant has something to do today."
Aaron should know that he"s one of the best designers. He rarely takes someone"s measurements himself. But because of Aaron"s reputation, he is ready to do it himself. Unexpectedly, Aaron rejects him.
"Give me the tape."
Aaron takes the tape measure from the designer and measures Katrina himself, from the chest to the waist to the hips.
Even though the fabric, Katrina, can feel the warmth of his hands as he touches her wherever his hands go.
Aaron"s breath is steady over her while standing face to face in front of her, and Katrina is too embarra.s.sed to look up at his face.
What"s wrong with her?
He just measures her, but she"s so nervous about it.
To nurture the relations.h.i.+p between Katrina and Beta, Aaron asks her to feed Beta in the evening.
Considering Katrina loves feeding Beta so much, it"s become her responsibility to feed him dog food.
Katrina takes Beta"s bowl and goes to the kitchen to get some dog food.
Beta is fairly hungry and follows her into the kitchen, staring up at her.
The dog food packaging is too tempting.
After Randy told her that Beta"s dog food is the most expensive in the world, she secretly checked the brand using Aaron"s laptop. It"s highly expensive. It contains all kinds of nutrients and elements. It"s apparently the most nutritious and safest dog food that even people can eat it.
Katrina is a thrifty person. When she accidentally dropped a piece of dog food on the table, she picked it up and put it in her mouth without thinking.
She doesn"t know if her brain stopped working or if the devil came over her.
By the time the thought occurred to her, it was too late.
Squatting at her feet, Beta looks clearly stunned to see her eat his dog food.
It seems indescribable and strange.
To avoid confusing him because she ate his food, Katrina takes another one and feeds it to Beta.
Of course, she"s still afraid of Beta and doesn"t dare feed him directly. She puts the dog food on the floor.
Anyway, there are servants specifically a.s.signed to clean up the villa every day. Every corner is spotless, and the floor is very clean. Her stomach wouldn"t get upset from eating the dog food off the floor.
After putting dog food in the bowl, Katrina turns around and prepares to leave.
When she turns around, she doesn"t expect to see Aaron leaning against the door with folded arms.
Katrina is stunned and momentarily embarra.s.sed.
How long has he been standing here?
He wouldn"t have seen her small action of accidentally putting the dog food in her mouth, would he?
No! Even if he saw it, she wouldn"t admit it!
Katrina"s knee-jerk denial is evident, "I just dropped a grain of dog food, and I fed it to Beta! You can ask him!"
As soon as she speaks, she realizes how defensive her lie sounds, and it reveals the truth.
She spoke before he even asked.
Katrina despairs helplessly about her IQ.
Sitting by Katrina"s feet, Beta stares at her in bewilderment, vaguely aware that he"s being blamed.
Facing Aaron"s stare, Katrina turns a little red in the face, but she forces herself to keep going, "Beta is hungry. I"ll feed him dinner now."
She pretends nothing happened and moves to walk past Aaron.
Aaron grabs Katrina by the arm and wraps her in his arms.
Cras.h.i.+ng into his warm and strong chest, Katrina is shocked. "Aaron, what are you doing?"
Aaron bows his head and touches her lips with a kiss, leisurely tasting her.
Suddenly kissed, Katrina"s cold body seems to be charged with an electric current, leaving her brain blank.
As the temperature rises, it becomes harder to breathe.
Gathering her wits, Katrina pushes Aaron with one hand, slurring through her teeth.
On the floor, Beta stares at his bowl that Katrina is still holding, and barks.
"Was it good?" Aaron finally releases Katrina with a wry smile. "I didn"t know you"re a heavy eater."
The little fool!
Does he not feed her full every day?
Why is she eating dog food?
Just now, he was stunned to see her pick up the dog food and put it in her mouth. Then she took out another one and gave it to Beta. Was it hush money for Beta?
Katrina is adorable in her daze.
Hearing Aaron teases her, Katrina realizes that he might have seen what she did.
Katrina gasps and glares at him. "Isn"t Mr. Wilson the same?"
No sooner had she eaten the dog food than he kissed her.
Does he have the right to laugh at her?
Leaving the kitchen, Katrina lays the bowl on the floor for Beta.
But instead of eating, Beta glances back at Katrina and moves away, allotting half for her.
Katrina feels embarra.s.sed after seeing Beta behave so sweetly.
Aaron"s dog is so conscientious…
She fed him at noon, so when he saw her eating his dog food, Beta automatically gave her half of his dinner.
It"s really annoying to be invited by a dog to eat dog food.
