Benjamin, still smiling, began to play with Treit's shoe, spinning it between his fingers as if it were a basketball.
"Come on, Treit, just a quick bath and I promise I'll leave you alone," said Benjamin, raising an eyebrow in a playful gesture.
Sheila looked at him with a mixture of exasperation and amusement, unsure whether to laugh or continue resisting.
In the end, her lazy side won.
"If you want me to take a bath, you'll have to carry me there," Sheila responded in a defiant tone, thinking Benjamin wouldn't dare.
However, Benjamin didn't hesitate.
With a quick movement, he approached Sheila and removed her other shoe before she could react.
"Is that all?" Benjamin asked, moving even closer.
Before Sheila could reply, Benjamin lifted her off the ground, holding her with ease.
She let out a cry of surprise, mixed with an involuntary laugh.
