Chapter 20: Hide Away

Katrina can't help but rejoice at his response.

He didn't stir her up or embarrass her in any way!

When did he start to become so nice?

As Katrina excitedly walks towards the lingerie store, she hears a casual voice behind her, "Did you bring money?"

It's like she was hit by a bolt out of the blue.

Katrina stood frozen and stunned. She shook her head.

Aaron strolled over, asking thoughtfully, "Are you going to pay with your face?"

With her head bowed down in frustration, Katrina is unable to say a word.

Just as she thought, how could he suddenly kindly permit her to go in alone? He knows she has no money on her and that she can't buy anything if she goes in alone.

Seeing her looking glum, Aaron grunts and grabs her by the wrist to pull her in.

Buying underwear isn't a big deal.

He not only saw her breasts, but he remembers their shape and size very clearly.

As soon as they enter the shop, the salesgirl greets them, "Welcome! Are you buying underwear for your girlfriend?"

"What!" At the salesgirl's assumption, Katrina chokes on her own saliva and coughs hard.

What girlfriend? Does she look like his girlfriend? Can't she see the agony on her face?

What kind of boyfriend would keep his girlfriend trapped at home? What kind of boyfriend would threaten to put his girlfriend in a dog cage?

She's clearly a prisoner under his control, a hostage under house arrest!

Aaron gives her a cold look, and she immediately shrinks.

He pushes Katrina forward and says, "Bring her the best ones."

The saleslady immediately becomes enthusiastic at assisting a wealthy customer. She hurries to get some underwear for Katrina.

"Miss, this is our shop's main brand this year. It has a good texture, and it's comfortable to wear, giving you a pleasant experience for summer. This is one of the bestsellers, and it has good support."

"It can help increase the cup size up to two. It can also correct the bosom model, which makes it easy to transform plains to mountains.

The shop assistant chatters away at Katrina. With Aaron standing close by, Katrina feels numb, embarrassed, and overwhelmed.

They were mistaken to be in a relationship. For Aaron, the salesgirl chose some rather sexy lace underwear and hung it in front of Katrina.

Katrina almost blacks out from mortification. Casually pointing to the most conservative item on the counter, she exclaims, "That one!"

Katrina chooses the most unflattering item that the salesgirl pauses to introduce the underwear. She quickly turns to Aaron with an inquiring eye. After all, he's the one who will pay for it.

Aaron doesn't say much, seeming to acquiesce. The shopping assistant smiles and hands the underwear to Katrina.

"No need to try it!" Katrina tells the salesgirl her size and asks her to pack it.

When she realizes that Aaron heard her bra size, she immediately wants to hide away.

Aaron completely ignores her frustrated look and says, "Pack one for each style in her size as well."

"Yes, sir!" The assistant is immediately excited, becoming more devoted to the service.

"Miss, your boyfriend is very kind to you!" The shop assistant exclaims to Katrina enviously. Katrina only smiles at her perfunctorily. She doesn't bother wasting her breath on explanations.

As they exit the lingerie store, the bodyguards behind them take a couple more bags, looking like two moving shelves with eyes.

At this point, they may not be able to fight back with bags hanging over them.

Now, her only opponent is Aaron. If she can get rid of him, she may have a chance to escape.

But how can she get rid of him if he won't even let her buy underwear on her own?

Just then, Katrina sees a toilet sign on the wall. She suddenly comes up with an idea. "Aaron, my stomach hurts. I have to go to the toilet."

He won't dare enter the women's bathroom.

Aaron's brow flutters as he looks at her. Finally, he waves his hand at her and lets her go to the toilet while he waits patiently.

As soon as Katrina enters the bathroom, she begins looking for a way out.

If she can take advantage of this opportunity, she won't be imprisoned in that dark place anymore, and won't have to endure Aaron's presence.

But after searching for a long time, Katrina finds nothing.

Outside the window is a wire fence that she can't get through. And the exhaust fan is far too high for her to climb out.

After wandering around the toilet for a long time, she has to exit the bathroom sullenly.

If she stays for too long, Aaron will begin to question her motives.

Seeing Katrina come out, Aaron casually asks, "Are you all right?"

"I'm better now," Katrina laments as she lowers her head.

With the clothes shopping done and the toilet impossible to escape through, it's time to go home. How on earth can she escape Aaron?

The further they go, the more anxious she becomes, and the less time she has to escape.

The two men behind them have disappeared, probably to deliver the shopping bags to the car at his command.

Now is the last chance to escape.

Katrina glances over at Aaron, who looks unperturbed and unsuspecting.

There's an ice cream shop in the lobby on the first floor.

Katrina bites her lips and tugs the edge of his shirt, asking softly, "Aaron?"

Aaron turns around with a bored look on his face. "Hmm?"

She just went to the bathroom, what does she want this time?

"I want ice cream!" Katrina says, pointing her slender finger at the ice cream shop in front of her.

Katrina's voice has the soft quality of an acute feminine tone, especially when she called his name in a low voice. It's more coquettish, making his heart unconsciously soften.

Aaron looks in the direction and sees the ice cream shop.

Girls are so troublesome!

But it's the first time for Katrina to make such a coquettish request. Especially with a softened heart, he naturally won't trouble her for such a small request.
