Chapter 24

The moment the words left her mouth, Tina quickly raised her hand to cover her lips. What did she just say?!. She wanted to apologize and say it was a slip of tongue but before she could say a word, Raymond was already heading back to her.

To say he was shocked by her words was an understatement. How could she ask him to help her stand up?, a whole Raymond!. But for some reasons he didn't feel offended by it, not a bit. Instead felt pity. He had once been in a situation like hers before and at that time he could hardly even breath. sigh... That was a story for another day.

Without saying a word, he slid one arm around her waist and he lifted her up. He was so close to her now that he could see her face flushing with embarrassment.
