Surviving the Apocalypse with my Multiplier System novel Chapter 63

The next place she decided to redecorate was the bathroom.

She walked in, happy to see that there was at least a basic white subway tile covering the concrete walls.

While there wasn’t much she could do in terms of furniture, she picked out a pretty floral shower curtain and hung it up on the curtain rod. She also picked out a few bath mats that complemented the shower curtain’s color and placed them on the floor.

Lastly, she put down a small shelf in the corner and filled it with fluffy towels, skincare items, makeup, and soaps.

The redecorated bathroom now looked a lot more cheerful with all of the different floral colors and accents. Rayne smiled at the big improvement and got ready to take a shower.

After she finished showering, she heard a small knock on her door.

"Hey, Rayne, are you awake?" she heard Julian’s voice on the other side of the door.

"Coming!" she yelled, wrapping a towel around her damp hair. She was in a hurry to open the door and didn’t think about putting on less suspicious clothing.

"Hey, what’s up?" she said, greeting Julian.

Julian looked at the freshly showered Rayne and immediately noticed that she was wearing the fluffy pink bathrobe that she wore the first day they met.

Where did she get that robe from? She even smells like the expensive shampoo and body wash she always uses.

He discreetly looked her up and down but didn’t want to scare her by asking directly.

"I have a box of things that Ian managed to salvage from your camper the night we found you. Sorry there’s not a lot, but at least there should be a few usable things left," he said.

Rayne froze, realizing that she technically didn’t have anything with her anymore. She panicked, noticing he had already seen her in her robe, and criticized herself for not being more careful!

How did I forget that I’m supposed to be empty-handed?! I can tell he’s suspicious already.

She took a deep breath and invited him inside. "Thank you so much for bringing me what was left of my things. Feel free to place the box anywhere on the floor."

Julian stepped inside her room, noticing that everything looked like a standard room setup. However, the smell from the shower told him that she had definitely somehow used her own shampoo and body wash.

When did she have time to get shampoo? I know for a fact we don’t have this brand anywhere in the bunker... I’ll casually ask Anna if maybe she lent it to her.

Rayne stood nervously, hoping that Julian wouldn’t ask her where she got the robe from. She watched him place the large box on the floor behind the small couch.
