Chapter 294: Dating your boss.


    "Just give me your clothes, I''ll go put them in theundry for you," Laura said as she watched James take off the hair tie that was holding his wet hair together. His damp hair came loose and settled on his shoulders.


    "Do you have something I can change into?" James asked and looked at her expectantly.


    "Ooh, give me a second" Laura said and went to her closet only toe out with arge fluffy white robe.


    James sighed as he took the robe, from the way he sighed it was as if he was scolding himself for expecting her to have actual clothes that he could wear. James went to her bathroom and closed the door behind him.


    Laura could finally breathe again once he was out of sight. She was d she had taken the girls'' clothes to her closet earlier, otherwise, her room would have been a huge mess. As she folded her hands in front of herself in impatience, she finally noticed that she was just wearing the bikini she had been swimming in earlier.


    Her face flushed red, and she went to her closet and put on a pair of shorts before she went back to the closet to go get herself something to wear. She had been shamelessly walking around half-naked. Her current actions could only be exined as being an upational hazard, because if it was a person who was hyper-aware of themselves like Rachel, they could never unconsciously do something like that. Even if they were living by themselves.


    She grabbed a pair of shorts and quickly put them on together with arge white t-shirt that was big enough to cover the shorts she was wearing beneath it.


    "Laura?" James'' voice rang in her room and she quickly rushed out of her closet.


    "Yes? Are you done?" she asked as she walked towards him.


    "Mmh, I used your shower, I hope you don''t mind," James said as he towel-dried his now wet hair.


    "No, I don''t mind at all. You can use it any time," Laura said.


    "You can just put them in the dryer, I''ll have them taken to the cleaners tomorrow," James said as he handed her his clothes.


    "No, don''t worry about it, I''ll just put them in the washer, it shouldn''t take long," Laura said and immediately left her room to go to theundry room. James didn''t even get the chance to refute what she said before she disappeared.


    James sat on the sofa in the room as he continued to towel dry his hair before he took out the phone he had put in the pocket of the robe he was wearing and scrolled through his contacts to call Jason''s manager, who was basically his assistant as he rarely managed Jason on site.


    "Are you outside?" James asked immediately after they answered his call.


    "Yes, sir," the manager replied honestly.


    "Mmh, can you go get me a set of clothes from my office? There was an ident here with Jason" James said as he leaned back on the sofa and brought his hair to one side so he wouldn''t soak the material of the sofa.


    "Of course, is there anything else?" the manager asked.


    "Ah, Jason will also need a set of clothes," Jason said like an afterthought.


    "Oh, then I can-"the manager started, but was promptly cut off.


    "Don''t bring him the clothes yet, just go get mine, then you can bring them over together," James said and the manager immediately agreed without question.


    "Call me once you return," James said, indicatingthat their conversation was over.


    "Yes sir," the manager said and James cut the call. After a few seconds, the door to the room opened and Laura walked into the room and closed the door behind her.


    She looked at James and saw the way he was sitting on the couch, his whole demeanour rxed. He looked beautiful, and she knew if she said it out loud she would be in trouble, so she swallowed her words and walked towards him.


    "I''ll go get you a blow dryer," Laura said, as she went to the closet to rummage through her things and brought out the dryer.


    "Don''t worry about it, I''ll do it for you," Laura said as she pped his hands away from his hair. James chuckled but didn''t resist and instead let her do what she wanted. She had been curious about his hair for quite some time so she was not nning on passing up a chance to actually touch it.


    Since he had been towel drying it, it did not take long for his hair to actually properly dry and Laura was amazed at how soft it was as shebed her fingers through it. She really did her best in resisting the urge to ask him what products he used.


    "Will you be going to work tomorrow?" Laura asked since it was too quiet and her thoughts were all over the ce.


    "No, it''s my off day tomorrow. I believe you have a schedule tomorrow right" James said after some thought.


    "Yes, I couldn''t even drink as much as I wanted to today," Laura said with a pout that James did not see as she switched off the blow dryer.


    "I''ll take you out for drinks when you''re on break," James said and Laura slightly frowned.


    "When will that be?" Laura asked. He always told her thatthey were going to do so many things once she was on break, but from what she has garnered from her workload, she wouldn''t be free in the next three months.


    "Do you think I''m lying to you?" James asked Laura, and rather than answer him, Laura decided it was safe to stay quiet. Unlike Jason, she was smart enough to know what she should and shouldn''t do. When James realised that she had no intentions of answering his question, he held one of her hands and pulled on it so she was standing in front of him.


    "You really think so?" James asked as he looked up at her with his grey eyes. He was honestly curious about what she was thinking and wasn''t threatening her at all, but Laura still felt apprehensive. Is this what happens when you date your boss?
