Chapter 706 - Footprint (2)

Collin found out the perfume in his drawer when he packed up to get off work. He bought it in the brand counter on his way back with his blind date partner on Saturday.

That girl thought that he bought it for her, so she talked about her sensitive skin all the time. And the guide kept blowing on how gentle the perfumes are, how good they smell, and how long the fragrance lasts. However, Collin finally bought this perfume that was too light for the sweet and lovely girl. When Collin paid the bill, he did not give it to the girl, which made her surprised and awkward.

As the two separated at the door, the girl tried to be polite and asked him, "Dr. Mueller, may I ask who you bought that perfume for?"

"Someone," Collin said concisely.

He just happened to pass by the counter and smelled the fragrance that he thought was very suitable for Roxy. He regretted buying it, but he also didn't want to send it to that girl, so he kept it in his hand.

"Who?" The girl asked reservedly.

Under normal circumstances, Collin should have given the perfume to her. Unfortunately, he didn't and said without hesitation, "My mom."

So at that night, Cora scolded him all the way. When they got back home, she even continued after taking a sip of tea.

"Collin, look at you! Do I owe you something? You were born to anger me, weren't you? Tell me which girl I found for you didn't come according to your preferences? It's fine if you don't like some of them, but it's impossible that you don't like anyone when you have met over a hundred girls, right?"

"I did run into someone I like, but..." Collin thought.

The next day, when Collin drove to the apartment he rented to Roxy, he saw Roxy walking into the elevator with a man.

He glanced at the perfume in his hand and threw it to the passenger seat.

The phone on the table rang again.

It was Cora's call.

Collin didn't really want to pick it up, but he had no other choices.

"The young lady who rented your house before called to say that she couldn't bathe in hot water. I asked her to ask the maintenance master herself. I just called her, but no one answered. I'm a little worried. The young lady lives there alone and if she meets..."

"I'll go take a look now and I'll call you later. Don't worry." Collin already set up before Cora finished speaking.

"Okay." Cora felt it was good for Collin to be of a sense of justice. It would be better if he was also so active in the blind date.

It was the peak of work, and Collin had never felt so agitated in a traffic jam. He kept calling Roxy, but no one answered.

Half an hour later, he finally arrived, sweating profusely. When he knocked on the door, no one answered. He waited for a while and simply opened the door himself by a spare key that should have been given to Cora.

"Roxy!" He entered and called out. He followed the sound of water from the bathroom and saw Roxy who was drenched all over.

She seemed to be a little surprised and stared at him, "How did you come in?"

"What's going on inside?" Collin didn't reply and just glanced behind her.

"There was no hot water, so I checked it out on the Internet and fiddled with it. Then..." She frowned.

"And then?" Collin asked.

"Sorry, the water pipe is broken. I'll pay for it." She turned around. There was water everywhere and some got out of the bathroom. It seemed that only the water in the bathroom had not been cleaned.

Collin took off his coat and rolled up his sleeves to help.

Roxy sighed, "Your shoes will get wet."

"It's fine." Collin was about to go in when his arm was pulled and Roxy shouted at him, "Wait a minute."

He waited and watched as she walked out step by step in her wet clothes. Not long after, she returned with a pair of slippers, "Use these."

Collin did not move and asked, "Has anyone else worn them?"

Roxy stared into his eyes for a while, "No."

"Then who did you buy them for?" he asked.

Roxy frowned slightly, "You can go back. I will deal with it myself." After that, she entered the bathroom.

Collin stood there for a while and called Cora. After telling her that Roxy was safe, he promised that he would go back immediately. In fact, he changed into the pair of slippers. His casual pants were a little long, which got wet when he stepped into the water.

Roxy was squatting under the water pipe of the sink with a flashlight to check. Collin stepped over and asked her, "Why didn't you answer my mother's call?"

"What?" Roxy touched her pants. She was fully wet, including her phone for the elderly.. She shook her phone, only to find that it could not be turned on.
