NORA'S POV

We reach home.

My knuckles are still bruised.

I need to work on the chapter. How am I going to type??

My editor is not gonna be happy. I am gonna get scolded.

My phone rings.

It's my editor.

FUCK!!

I pick up her call and explain everything to her.

"Nora!! We are already behind schedule. Why did you have to get yourself injured?"

"I am so sorry."

"Alright!! Take care of yourself. Let me know if there are any updates."

"Yes, ma'am."

She hangs up.

I need to freshen up.

I finish my shower and wrap myself in a towel.

I reach for my clothes but shit....

FUCK! My clothes are outside. How can I be so careless??

I need to sneak out and take my clothes.

Kai!!

Nah!! He will definitely be in the gym right now. I don't have to worry.

So I need to sneak out quickly, take my clothes and get back.

I slowly open the door and check if anyone is inside the bedroom.

It's clear.

I tip-toe towards the bed where my clothes are currently lying.

The door opens and my head snaps towards the door.

Kai is standing there. Frozen.

I am currently covered in a towel which barely covers my butt.

His eyes scans me from head to toe and his eyes snap up to me with something uncertain.

I shiver.

"Huh?"

"Huh?"

I stare at him.

"Can you?" I clear my throat.

"I need my charger."

He rushes to the side table and gets his charger doesn't even glance at me which is good.

He clears his throat.

"Shut the door..pl..." He shuts the door.

Bye. That was awkward.

*****The Next Morning*****

I get ready for breakfast. Kai didn't come to the room all night.

I think he might be traumatized by that little awkward incident.

My bruise has taken a horrible shade of purple. No amount of makeup can hide it.

But atleast it's less visible.

I really need to start working out.

I go downstairs. Kai is already there at the dining table.

"Good morning."

"You are late, Amara."

"Thank you for letting me know, Nate."

"Come on, guys." Elena chimes in. She looks beautiful.

I take a seat near Kai.

Nate narrows his eyes and his eyes drop to my knuckles. It's better he doesn't know about yesterday. He is gonna create a scene if he comes to know about it.
