Intuition

Soraya submerged half of her body in the warm water in the tub, except for her neck and head. Strange thoughts kept swirling in her head. It's like an unanswered question.
This afternoon she saw a stalker taking her photos secretly and she assumed that person was the mastermind behind the mysterious web and dozens of articles. Soraya was very sure that it was Colin Morgan, an art student and the person involved in the problem with Joshua Peterson. Although she did not see the young man's face directly, but from his clothes and movements, she immediately guessed that it was Colin Morgan.
"But what if he wasn't Colin? No, I'm sure it was him. Besides that, his attitude when he met Mr Stanley was also very strange. He looked annoyed and scared at the same time. It must be because he had problems with Mr. Stanley before!" Soraya muttered. Too long soaking in warm water makes her head dizzy.
Soraya got out of the bath, grabbed a towel and stepped out of the bathroom. She quickly put on his clothes because she didn't want to be alone in the room for too long. Without combing her hair first, Soraya immediately descended the stairs to the first floor and followed Robert in the kitchen.
Realizing that Soraya had returned, Robert, who was serving dinner on the table, immediately looked at her. Robert frowned, he looked a little confused.
"Is there something wrong?" Soraya asked.
"You're wearing the same clothes. Don't you have anything else?"
"I followed you to this house with only three pairs of clothes and underwear. The police haven't allowed me to take my things in the room. They are afraid if there is anything that can be used as evidence, that's why-"
"Okay, I got it! I'll take you to the clothes shop tomorrow afternoon. We can buy some clothes for you, as well as a new coat and scarf!"
"N-no! I don't really need it! In a few days they might have allowed me to get my things back. So for the time being, I can wear the same clothes. I just need to wash them every day."
"No! We'll still buy it tomorrow. You can't wait until you get your things back. So listen to me and don't argue!" He said firmly. Soraya was stunned, she was surprised that Robert would force her like that.
Although she felt a little scared, but in her heart she really wanted to thank this man for helping her so far.
"A-alright, I-"
Drrrnnnggg...drrrnnnggg...
Her cell phone rang, Soraya was forced to stop the sentence she wanted to say. When her eyes caught the screen of her phone, her heart immediately beat fast when she saw the name written on the monitor.
"Inspector John Smith?" She thought. Her hands shaking, Soraya wasn't sure if she could talk to Inspector Smith at this point. She even almost forgot the unwritten agreement she had made that day that she was willing to cooperate with the police in helping spy on Robert William Stanley.
"How is it? What should I do? Should I just ignore it?" She thought. Soraya started to panic, she didn't know what to do and worst of all she didn't want Robert to find out about the plot between her and the police.
"What's wrong? Who called you? Why didn't you pick up?" Asked Robert with suspicious eyes. This man has very strong intuition. He seemed to know when there was danger that came to threaten.
"No, it's not an important call! I'm not in the mood to talk to anyone right now!" Soraya smiled bitterly. She tried hard to find an excuse so that Robert would not suspect her.
"Is that so? All right, let's eat!" Robert pulled up a chair and sat quietly like a noble. Soraya who was still standing in front of the table was still waiting for her phone to stop ringing.
After 15 seconds of waiting, the phone actually stopped ringing. Soraya felt a little relieved that she didn't have to speak to Inspector John Smith now. Soraya hid her phone in her pocket and sat directly across from Robert who was enjoying his dinner.
The call made Soraya feel awkward, she knew that Robert didn't seem to really care. However, Soraya is sure that this is not the first and only call that will come to her phone at this time. But the call was enough to make her feel even more depressed.
"If you feel uncomfortable, you can turn off your cell phone for the night so you can rest. Tomorrow when you're in a better mood, you can turn it back on and answer important calls!"
"Okay, I get it! But can you tell me how I can no longer feel afraid of something that won't necessarily happen?"
"You just don't have to think about it!"
"How can I not think about it?"
"By occupying yourself with something more useful. You can paint, read a book, write or learn to do something you didn't have time to do before. Problems don't just go away even if you keep thinking about them. You just have to go through them and the solutions will come. when you're really ready to face it."
Even though she didn't really understand what Robert was saying, right now the only person she could follow was Robert. She had no choice but to continue to depend on her.
"Okay, I'll give it a try!"

"Do you have to take a shower now?" Soraya asked. She didn't want to let go of Robert's hand, she didn't want to be left alone in the room again even though she only felt like he was in the bathroom for a few minutes.
Robert looked at her coldly, he didn't know why Soraya could be this scared when they were still in the same room.
"You want to come with me to take a bath?" Even though he asked, he didn't really ask Soraya to come inside.
"Can I?" Soraya asked with an innocent look. Robert was shocked, he was at a loss for words to describe how cute this girl was.
"Up to you!" Robert unlocked the bathroom door and let Soraya go inside with him.
At first Soraya felt fine until she had to watch Robert take off his clothes and be completely naked before letting the water soak his hot body.
Soraya began to feel an overwhelming attack of shame. She had seen Robert naked before, but in the shower this was the first time. She stood silently in the doorway, while Robert stood in the shower, his back to her, showing the muscles of his beautiful back and shoulders.
"Stupid, what am I doing? Why am I peeking at him while taking a shower?" She thought. Her face was red and ready to explode.
Even though she was embarrassed, her roaming eyes tried to find an opportunity to see through the 31-year-old adult man's hole. Soraya gulped, she felt like a disgusting pervert.
"Oh my, I sinned so much! How is this? Oh my God, save my heart!"
