Given the scorching weather, Claudia worried that sweat would ruin the foundation and concealer. To counteract this, she intended to apply some Loose powder on Bennett.

However, upon hearing Bennett's question, Claudia's hand trembled uncontrollably, causing the loose powder to accidentally spill directly onto his lips.

The atmosphere hung suspended for an instant. Claudia's heart missed a beat before reclaiming the powder puff with a shaky grip. "My... my apologies. It's just loose powder, not harmful. I... I'll clean it off you

She didn't intend for this to happen! Searching the table diligently, Claudia was unable to find a tissue.

Spotting Bennett's dark gaze, she abandoned her search for a tissue, opting instead to brush the powder from his lips using her hand.
