She tilted her head to the side, trying to avoid it.
"Don't move." Manuel's low voice sounded.
Ainsley froze and replied a little unnaturally, "Mr. Gage, I can do it myself..."
"It'll be okay soon." Manuel did not intend to let go of Ainsley. He lowered his eyes and continued to tie her hair up seriously.
Ainsley's hair was very thick. It was heavy in his hand. It was black and smooth, and Manuel felt very good touching it. The sea breeze entered his nose along with the fragrance of her hair.
Manuel could see Ainsley's fair neck. It was so beautiful, and he was attracted.
Manuel tried hard to cover his feelings and finished his work. Then he quickly moved his eyes away.
"It's done."
"Thank you," Ainsley also thanked Manuel somewhat unnaturally.
Manuel found Ainsley unusual and kidded her for no reason, "What's wrong? Ms. Easton. Are you interested in me?"
Ainsley was shocked.
