Chapter 1425
Feeling something was off, Elodie opened her eyes and saw Griffin standing right next to her. It felt like she'd
been caught red-handed in something scandalous.
"Ms. Reeves, are you okay? Why did you go quiet all of a sudden?" Sophie was reclining in a massage chair, eyes
shut, relaxing. Just moments ago, she'd been raving to Elodie about how great the service was, and then,
silence. "Ms. Sophie, enjoying the massage?" Colby's voice cut through the quiet from the side.
Sophie's eyes popped open. She turned to find Colby behind her, giving her a shoulder massage, and for a
moment, she held her breath.
"Co-Colby..."
"Is the massage up to your standards?" Colby asked again.
Sophie shot a glance at Elodie, who was looking down, pretending she hadn't seen a thing.

With a sigh, Sophie said, "We're just doing smarket research."
"Market research..." Colby raised an eyebrow. "And what have you found out?"
"I've discovered..." Sophie looked at Elodie again for backup.
Elodie was ready with her response, "We've discovered a lot, like how services like these really draw in
customers. Honestly, who doesn't enjoy a handsguy? It definitely encourages us women to spend. We can
find a little happiness here!" As soon as she finished talking, Elodie noticed the men's expressions darkening.
Sophie quickly chimed in, "But really, we didn't find it all that enjoyable. Ms. Reeves here looked like she was
sitting on pins and needles just a moment ago."
"Really..." Griffin joined in, "But | noticed you struggling to hide a smile just now."
"I... | was smiling because it hurt," Elodie added. "This batch of masseurs isn't very skilled. It was a bit painful.
Maybe we should just head hfor a massage?" With that, Elodie stood up, ready to drag Griffin away from
this awkward scene.
Seeing this, Sophie got up quickly too, saying, "Colby, let's head back as well!"
"Sit back down," Colby said, pressing Sophie back into the massage chair. "Is it really that comfy?"
"Well, it's not... entirely..." But she had to admit, it was quite enjoyable. No wonder guys are fans of massages;
turns out, women love them too.
"Letdo it for you."
"No..."
"Don't be shy."
Colby leaned down and started massaging Sophie's arms. "Did they touch the injury on your shoulder?"
Sophie shook her head right away.
Colby pressed on, "And what about the person who did your footbath?"
"..." Sophie hesitated, "I didn't really look at their face, and I'm not a fan of people touching my feet, so..."
"So you let it happen anyway."

"...We really were doing market research."

Right then, Sophie felt a strong connection with those guys who have to attend mixed-gender business outings
for work. She honestly hadn't thought much of it. But now, trying to explain, she only felt more guilty.
"It's alright, I'm not mad." Colby tapped Sophie gently on the head saying, In the future, if you want to visit
places like this, go ahead, but don't ask for a male masseur."
Sophie protested, "I didn't ask for one."
"You didn't?"
"Yeah." Sophie explained, "Last t|
was here, a female manager did my beauty treatment. How was | supposed to know that when
opened the door, I'd be greeted by six."
