Alice carefully wiped Anne's body in the bathroom. Luckily, she brought all of Anne's toiletries. So he had no trouble at all helping Anne taking a bath like now.

"I've never seen a woman as beautiful as you are, Miss Anne,

" said Alice quietly praising Anne honestly.

"All women are beautiful, Alice, you are beautiful too,

" replied Anne softly with a smile.

"I'm serious, Miss, your body is very beautiful. Your skin is very soft. If I may ask, is your mother Asian?

" asked Alice curiously.

"Honestly, I don't know much about my mother. She passed away when I was little. All I remember is my mother had thick black hair like Asians in general. Her skin and eyes were different, unlike most people. Both her eyes had a mixture of blue -green and made her look very beautiful and scary at the same time. Many of our neighbors used to call my mother a descendant of a witch because of the color of her eyes,

" answered Anne quietly, imagining her mother's very beautiful face.

"Really? That's called jealous, Miss. Jealous people will definitely hate other people who are considered better than them, whether it's wealth, physical appearance, or power, so don't be surprised. But I'm sure your mother must be very beautiful back then,

" said Alice with fast.

Hearing Alice's words made Anne smile. She then asked Alice to get her bag which was near the sink. After her bag was in her lap, she took out a small box from her bag which turned out to be a box to store lenses. After cleaning her hands, Anne took off the contact lenses that were attached to her eyes and put them in the box that Alice was holding.

"Miss, your eyes ...

"

"I inherited my mother's eye color or what most people call the color spectrum,

" said Anne quietly, cutting off Alice who was surprised to see the color of her eyes.

"Why did you hide it by using soft lenses, Miss? Your eyes are so beautiful,

" Alice asked, mesmerized by the color spectrum in Anne's eyes.

"Because I don't want to be called a witch. When I realized that I had the same eye color as my mother I started wearing glasses from a young age because my parents didn't have enough money to buy lenses. And every time I was at school I always looked down and avoided eye contact with anyone, even though I've been wearing glasses. I just did it because I didn't want to be called a witch like my mother. That's why after I was able to have my own money, I chose to wear soft lens which has a color like most European eye colors,

" Anne answered at length, explaining the reason she hid her blue-green eye color from Alice.

"Come on, Miss, we live in modern times now, where people don't care about the color of someone's eyes. They actually compete to do many things to make their appearance as attractive as possible, including using various colored lenses. So please, don't use soft lens anymore, Miss, okay? What's more, isn't it dangerous to wear soft lenses for hours like that?

" Alice asked again.

"No, my soft lenses are safe. I've consulted an ophthalmologist first, so they are safe to wear,

" said Anne quietly, looking down at the box of her soft lenses that Alice was holding.

"But still, Miss, it's a foreign object; it's not part of the human body. Even under the supervision of a doctor, it's not good to wear it for long on our bodies, let alone in the eyes,

" Alice said in a raised voice.

"Yes Alice, I have also started to reduce its use. Every night, I will definitely take it off, so you don't have to...

"

"Miss... of course you have to take it off every night! It's not good to wear soft lenses when you're sleeping,

" Alice screamed again.

Seeing Alice got furious made Anne laugh. She didn't expect to find a friend who was as cool as Linda around Jack. Because it was late, Alice then chose to speed up her movements. After wetting Anne's body with a wet towel, Alice painstakingly washed Anne's body using Anne's favorite vanilla scented body wash. After nearly thirty minutes, Anne had finished bathing. Alice really painstakingly helped her bathe. Although it was a bit difficult because Anne was in a wheelchair, Alice didn't complain at all while helping Anne bathing. Because Anne's leg was hurt, Alice chose a kimono model dress for Anne so she wouldn't have any trouble if she wanted to go to the bathroom, although she initially refused to wear it, Anne ended up wearing it anyway. She didn't know how Alice could bring that nightgown, when in her closet there were more cute pajamas than the sexy nightgown she was wearing right now.

"You are beautiful and smell good, Miss,

" whispered Alice, softly teasing Anne as she prepared to push Anne out of the bathroom.

"Don't start, Alice,

" said Anne curtly, trying to cover her thighs with her kimono robe.

"I'm serious, Master must be very happy and...

"

"Alice!!!

"

"Ok, gosh. I'll keep my mouth shut now,

" Alice chuckled.

The helpless Anne could only surrender to be the subject of Alice's teasing, which had started since the first time she wore her nightgown. Anne still couldn't understand how Alice could have the idea of bringing her a kimono-style nightgown to Jack's house. Even though it was clear that the kimono-type nightgown was synonymous with sexy, even though the one that Anne was currently wearing was not very revealing, she still wouldn't feel comfortable when Jack saw her wearing it.

When the bathroom door opened from inside, Jack, who had been standing unsteadily for a while, instantly froze when he saw Anne. Even though he had known Anne for more than two years, but this was the first time he could see Anne's long legs. Seeing Jack silent and stunned made Alice happy. Her decision to choose a kimono-style nightgown for Anne was not wrong.

"Do you want to stay in the wheelchair or do you want me to help you get on the ...

"

"Let me do it, Alice, I'll help Anne to bed,

" Jack said softly interrupted Alice.

"Yes, sir. Well, since my job is done, I'm leaving now, sir. I don't want to disturb you both,

" Alice said quickly, deliberately provoking Jack and Anne.

"Alice.

" Anne hissed softly, because she didn't like Alice's words.

"Good luck, Miss,

" Alice whispered softly into Anne's ear quickly as she looked down and then walked quickly towards the door, leaving Anne and Jack alone.

Anne's face reddened at Alice's words. She felt very uneasy alone with Jack in the room in a helpless position like now. Likewise with Jack, he also looked nervous. He had never experienced anything like this when he was alone with any woman.

"I-I'm going out to talk to Erick and Alice,

" Jack said quietly.

"Yeah, uh, no, I mean, wait! Help me get into bed first, I want to lie down on the bed,

" answered Anne nervously. She chose to climb into bed so she could cover the exposed parts of her legs.

Jack nodded his head slowly in response to Anne's words. He then approached Anne and pushed Anne's wheelchair towards the big bed. After removing the blanket that was neatly attached to the bed, Jack then turned to Anne. He carefully lifted her body towards the bed. He didn't want her left leg to hit into things again. After Anne was laid on the bed, Jack then covered her body slowly.

"Ok, I'll be outside. You can sleep first if you're sleepy,

" said Jack quietly.

"Y-you're not going to sleep here, are you?

" asked Anne stammering.

"Of course not. I don't want to make your feet worse. You need to get better soon,

" Jack answered casually.

"Well then, I can sleep comfortably,

" said Anne gratefully in a barely audible voice.

"What is it, Anne? What are you talking about?

" Jack asked quickly.

"Hmm no, I didn't say anything. I'm just thanking you, Jack,

" replied Anne lying.

"It's nothing, Anne, go to sleep,

" said Jack quietly.

Anne nodded her head slowly with a smile. Before long, she began to close her eyes. Anne chose to sleep so that the pain in her leg would decrease. After she closed her eyes, Jack went out of her room to meet Erick and Alice, who were still waiting for him. Alice, who was not calm, immediately got ready when she saw Jack coming out of his big room, as well as Erick, who immediately put his cell phone inside clothes.

"Good job, you two go home. You've worked hard today,

" said Jack quietly when he was in front of Alice and Erick.

"Go home, sir? Then what about tomorrow?

" Alice stammered.

"Well, you're working tomorrow, do you really want to work again tonight?

" asked Jack again.

"No sir, I want to go home. We'll be back to work tomorrow,

" Alice answered in a loud, excited voice.

"Yes sir, we're sorry. Have a good night, Sir, rest well,

" said Erick quickly. He did not want Jack realized a strange attitude towards Alice.

"Thanks for your hard work today, Erick, be careful on the road,

" Jack answered quietly to Erick.

"It's alright, sir,

"said Erick again. After saying that, Erick left Jack with Alice, who was happy because Jack didn't fire her.

After Erick and Alice left, Jack folded his white shirt sleeves. He was very uneasy with Anne's presence on his bed. Because he was tired, Jack chose to make peace with himself. He went back into his room for a hot shower like any other day. But once he entered the room and smelled Anne's vanilla scent, his blood rippled.

"It looks like a cold shower is the safest option right now,

" Jack said softly.
