Chapter 146 - Ch. 146 Shower Time

Kaylee stretched her hands widely as soon as she arrived at the cottage. She felt incredibly tired, both physically and mentally. However, her exhaustion was quite worthy after listening to Mr. Smith's announcement.

'Get rest for tonight and get ready for tomorrow. Your group will perform for the music talent show.'

Mr. Smith didn't seem to like that Kaylee's group would appear on a talent show. He didn't congratulate them as if he was forced to select them, but Kaylee didn't care.

The satisfied and triumphant smile never left her face even though she felt exhausted. How could she not be smiling endlessly?

Before this, she felt very sure Mr. Smith wouldn't change his mind no matter what. But it turned out… the picky man did!

Oh, how happy she was!

"Miss, I have provided warm water in the bath-up for you."

"Really?." Kaylee was no longer irritated by the fact that her cousin had told Aubrey her gender. At least she had a special service, and Aubrey pampered her by giving her a warm bath she loved so much.

"I've also added a rose scent to your liking. I'm sure you'll like it."

"Oh, I do like it. Thank you, Aubrey."

"My pleasure, miss."

"But, really. I never thought that my cousin would bother to provide an employee to serve me. I thought he would directly report to my father."

Aubrey made no comment and only gave a faint smile in response. "Have a nice sleep, miss."

"Thank you for everything. Good night." Kaylee went inside with a happy heart and ignoring Aubrey, who was still waiting outside. Kaylee quickly took off her disguise and immediately went into the bathroom.

As Aubrey said, the scent of roses assaulted her nose, and Kaylee let out a satisfied sigh as she lay in the bath-up filled with warm water.

Meanwhile, Aubrey was about to walk towards her room when she heard footsteps from the corner of the hill.

From the back of Kaylee's cottage, there was a small path that led to a staircase when one turned right. Because Kaylee never walked there thinking there was only a ravine at the corner, Kaylee never knew that there were other stairs leading up to the top of the hills.

Aubrey turned and glanced in the direction of the source of the voice. Her smile grew wider when she saw the figure of someone coming down the stairs and walking towards her.

"Sir, you're finally here. Miss Kaylee has entered her cabin and is currently taking a shower." reported the female cottage keeper shamelessly as if her report was the most natural thing to report.

"How about my sister?"

"Miss Leticia has returned to her room. She pretty much enjoyed this camp program during these two days and couldn't stop smiling. But…"

"But what?"

"It seems the young miss is interested in a young man."

Declan frowned in displeasure to hear it. "Who is it?"

Aubrey straightened up and put on a serious face like she was about to say something very urgent.

"It's Nicholas Larson."

"…" Declan was speechless when he heard that. He knew now that his right-hand man's twin sister teased him.

"In other words, it's Miss Kaylee." Aubrey could barely contain her laughter when she looked at her master's almost paled face, then hurriedly ran away before her master punished her by sending her to Asia like last time. "Goodnight, sir."

Declan shook his head to see the girl just run away after giving him an absurd report about his sister.

Letti like Nick... Kaylee? Seriously.

Even though Kaylee looks like a young man on campus, that doesn't mean she behaved like one and flirts around the girls, right.

[author: You have no idea, Declan XD]

Declan decided not to take the report seriously because he believed Letti was too young to understand romance.

Moreover, the girl had big ambitions and wanted to prove to herself that she could fly on her own. Trivial things like being attracted to an opposite gender would be forgotten once Letti found her goal.

Declan unlocked the X cottage door and entered with a light step. He remembered that Kaylee was taking a bath at the moment, and he wondered whether he should join and surprise the girl or not. In the end, he decided to wait for the girl as he didn't know if Kaylee's other side would reject him and hate him if he showed up in the bathroom.

On the other hand, the clueless Kaylee enjoyed her peaceful bath time without knowing the man she has been missing now waiting for her in her room.

Kaylee closed her eyes as she thought about the composition of the arrangement to play tomorrow. Tonight they can win because their rival also plays jazz music.

But tomorrow, their rivals will be different genres of music, and seeing such a good R&B and modern funk-pop team makes Kaylee feel gloomy.

How could their jazz music defeat the music that the people most loved?

Kaylee tried to call her other side, who was still in place with her head hidden between her knees.

'We need you.'

"…"

'I need you. You know I can't do this alone.'

The girl still didn't react and pretended as if Kaylee had never been there.

Kaylee could only take a deep breath and decided to come back to her senses. After all, jazz music never wins this talent show, and her friends also know about it.

Even though they had thought of the best arrangement and tried their best, Kaylee was sure that her friends would still be satisfied with whatever results they would receive.

After feeling herself have been soaking for quite a while, Kaylee decided to end her shower time. She rinsed her body which was covered in soap, and quickly put on a pajama towel.

She used a towel to wipe her hair by letting the white towel cover her entire head.

Kaylee came out of the bathroom with a relaxed pace while humming a melody. She was about to go to the dressing table to get her hairdryer when she noticed something big... or rather someone.

She shifted her gaze, and her eyes widened when she realized she was not alone in this room.

"De… Declan!?"
