Chapter 59: A Shopping Trip
Nora threw a glance at Demetri as he drove the car and frowned," Why do we need to go shopping for a bathing suit?"
Demetri simply sent her a look, without speaking a word so Nora could only continue," Fine, I know it was my fault for being foolish and not getting some fashionable and skimpy swimsuit. But really, it wasn’t like I had some lying around at home, since you gave me such short notice. And who is going to know what I wore in the privacy of that villa of yours?"
"We are going to the beach as well. And believe me, there are going to be people spying on us. If you look like a nun..."
Nora harrumphed and continued to complain," So I should wear a bathing suit just to show my ’womanly charms’ to random people who would be snooping on us on your grandfather’s orders? Do you see the sheer number of problems in that single statement?"
Demetri’s smile widened and he simply shook his head, "The only person who will be seeing your charms is me. What the rest will see is me doting on you."
Nora blinked at the explanation. Well, she could understand that. After all, Demetri Frost did not look like someone who would take a woman shopping. And anyone who knew him would know that. By doing something for her that he would never do for anyone else, Demetri was simply trying to prove that he was enamored with her.
"Couldn’t we have ordered it online? Or you could have asked the person who you told last time..."
"I’d bought those clothes for you. If you are uncomfortable, I can go and get the swimsuit as well. I just thought you would prefer to buy one yourself since mine might not be to your...choice."
Nora’s eyes widened at the implication of what he said. Did he mean that he might choose something too skimpy for her? Shaking her head, she muttered to herself that it was safer to go inside and buy the things herself than leave it to the man.
