Either way, it was after breakfast when Zivon ordered Nathan to bring both of them to the bed shop so that Xavia could have a look at the available high-tech beds. To their surprise, the manager had been expecting them. As it turned out, Nathan had made prior arrangements with the manager while driving them over…
Regardless, upon seeing them, the manager was quick to say, “Good day, Mr. and Mrs. Burton! Welcome to our humble shop! Fear not, we have the best beds in the country, and they’re capable of relaxing muscles, reducing stress, and even enhancing blood circulation! Here, we have one that’s known for giving great leg massages. Perhaps that would help with Young Master Burton’s condition?”
Upon hearing that, Zivon glowered at the man before growling, “Despite doing years of research, I’ve yet to hear of a bed that’s capable of healing one’s broken legs…! Perhaps I should give you a department of your own in the National Academy of Sciences…?! Hmm?!”
Going as pale as a sheet, the manager quickly gulped before replying, “A-apologies, Young Master Burton! That wasn’t what I meant! I-I just wanted to… Um…”
Not wanting a fight to take place, Xavia cleared her throat before saying, “A-actually, I think such a bed is suitable for me… After all, I’m having trouble getting out of bed because of my pregnancy… C-come to think of it, Von mentioned something about a high-tech bed? Could I have a look at it?”
Understanding Xavia’s intent, the manager was quick to reply, “O-of course! Again, I apologize for my rudeness! A-allow me to lead you to that bed right away, Mrs. Burton!”
Watching as the man quickly led Xavia to the beauty massage bed section, Zivon couldn’t help but sneer. Disabled people were usually given such treatment in shops like these, so the fact that the manager had instantly suggested such a bed to him irked Zivon greatly.
Naturally, Nathan understood why his boss was so mad, and he had to fight the urge to punch himself for not telling the manager to be more careful with his words earlier! Clenching his fists, he then took a deep breath before attempting to change the subject…
“…Um… Since Mrs. Burton’s due date is in less than a month, wouldn’t getting the bed now be a waste…?”
Though it was true that Zivon was filthy rich, money shouldn’t be wasted unnecessarily…
Upon entering the car, however, Xavia suddenly exclaimed, “…Cr*p. I left my phone on the bed while testing it! Hold on, let me get it.”
“I’ll come with you,” replied Zivon who didn’t want Xavia going off on her own anymore. Not after that kidnapping incident…
Nathan himself simply chose to drive the car to the shop’s entrance. After all, this shouldn’t take long…
Either way, just as they had entered the shop, they overheard the manager scoffing, “That fucking cripple dared to act all tough in front of me? Hah! How laughable! Truth be told, I was fighting the urge to sell him a sex toy the entire time! With his legs like that, it’s no wonder he’s so sexually frustrated! Hell, I could’ve sold Mrs. Burton a sex toy too! There’s no way he’d be able to satisfy her after this! Pathetic!”
