Brandan Hyde stared at her for a while, then suddenly released his grip and turned to enter the bathroom.
Iris Harris was slightly startled by his actions and, in the next second, saw Brandan reach out a hand from the bathroom to pull her inside from the doorway: "Don't go home tonight."
He pushed her into the bathtub.
"Stay here with me."
Scalding water rained down on her body, soaking Iris Harris's hair all at once. She looked somewhat dazedly at Brandan Hyde, who was standing by the bathtub taking off his jacket, and stammered, "What... do you mean?"
Brandan casually hung his suit jacket on a hook in the bathroom and said faintly, "Didn't you say you would do anything for this bid? I happen to need a woman right now. We've known each other for so long, and I'm not afraid you'll give me some disease. Now that I think about it, your earlier suggestion was indeed good."
