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.
