"Oh!"
It wasn't like Ace to be lost for words, but it was obvious that she'd blundered into the wrong bedroom at precisely the wrong moment. Shou Yuing had obviously used the shower immediately before Ace, and was now apparently occupied in drying her long black hair, with nothing but a skimpy towel thrown carelessly around her body.
"Gordon Bennett!" Ace blurted out, feeling herself blushing. "Sorry, I didn't mean..."
