Chapter 176: Can you always remember me?
Jessica made her way back to the bedroom and, without stopping, entered the bathroom for a quick shower. She needed to rinse off the sweat that was already drying on her skin and beginning to stick to her.
With the water running down her body, she contemplated her actions, a sigh escaping her lips. She didn’t like it—she had never expected Davis to take over her emotions so easily.
She couldn’t remember the last time she had lost her temper like that, resorting to the sandbag just to bring herself back under control. It had always been one of her weakest points. When angry, she could raze down a building without remorse.
Because of that, she had always distanced herself from anything that could provoke her. It had taken not just days, but years, to develop ways of calming her temper.
"Davis, Davis... sorry, but I have to admit—you’re my wolfsbane," she muttered to herself.
Just as she stepped out of the bathroom, Davis pushed open the door. She glanced at him briefly. Having calmed down, she was now more composed.
She settled in front of the dressing table and picked up the hair dryer.
"Can I help you?" he asked tentatively, his voice low. He dared not provoke her again and risk facing the wrath of Ares.
Jessica’s hand paused briefly before she handed him the dryer and moved to a lower seat to allow him to dry her hair comfortably.
"Are you still angry?" he asked as his hands worked gently through her hair.
"It doesn’t matter," she replied.
