“Okay.
”
Still smiling, Barlow led them to his room, used his card to open the door, and they entered.
Karina helped him to the sofa.
Noticing his still paleplexion, a flicker of concern crossed her eyes.
“Do you need me to take you to the hospital?”
“No, thank you.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.
A massage to help rx the muscles should be enough to make me feel better.
”
As Barlow stared, Karina felt her heart race.
Noticing his legs exposed beyond the hem of his bathrobe, she swallowed unconsciously.
She quickly diverted her gaze and suggested, “I’ll ask the hotel receptionist to find someone to give you a massage.
”
Karina was about to exit when Barlow caught her hand, saying, “Karina, I’ve just done you a big favor.
Shouldn’t you repay me?”
Repay him?
Did he mean she should massage him herself?
Feeling the warmth of his hand, Karina quickly withdrew hers.
“I’m not trained in massage.
I wouldn’t know how.
”
“Really? But aren’t you an agent? You are skilled at taking care of celebrities,” he remarked, a tinge of jealousy in his tone.
Karina felt a lump in her throat and averted her eyes from his piercing gaze.
His jealousy of her attentiveness to Jack strangely brought her a sense of satisfaction.
Maybe his jealousy appealed to her vanity.
She enjoyed the attention, the feeling of being desired.
Collecting herself, she conceded, “Okay, I’ll try, but I’m not very skilled.
”
Considering his help earlier, she felt inclined to reciprocate.
“Don’t worry, I don’t mind.
I’m grateful that you are willing to give me a massage.
Let’s start,” Barlow said with a smile.
He pulled up a chair and propped one of his long, muscr leg on it.
As he moved, the bathrobe fell open, revealing the edges of his underwear.
Karina blushed.
She tried to ovee her shyness and knelt down to massage him.
Just then, there was a knock at the door.
