“Mr. Eric, trust me–you won’t regret coming with me tonight,” Alice said, turning around with a bright

smile.

Eric clenched his jaw, doing his best to maintain his usual aloof persona despite the fire simmering in his chest.

“It’d better be as you say.”

Alice’s grin widened. “I can promise you this–once you’ve tried it, you’ll be begging for a second time.”

A volcano of rage began bubbling under Eric’s calm surface, threatening to erupt at any moment.

Alice took the wheel, and since it wasn’t rush hour, she sped up and arrived quickly at a spa center.

As they stepped out of the car, Eric caught sight of the spa’s signage, and his expression turned thunderous.

Is this one of those so–called wellness spas that’s secretly running shady stuff behind the scenes?

Perfect.

Tonight, I will gladly play the role of a concerned citizen and expose this place for what it truly is.

Right on cue, someone was exiting the spa.

A cheerful staff member walked them out and asked politely, “How was your experience today?”

The customer laughed. “Excellent. I’ll definitely be back.”

“Thank you so much for the feedback,” the staff member replied with a warm smile.

As she turned back, she spotted Alice and Eric approaching. She quickly made her way over.

“Good evening, how many are we checking in today?”

Alice pulled out a sleek black VIP card. “Two, please.”

Eric was already struggling to contain his rage. “You’re seriously going in?”

Alice blinked at him, looking genuinely shocked.

“What? Were you planning to enjoy yourself while I just sat around waiting?

“We’re supposed to be partners, right? Shouldn’t we share the good stuff too?”

The staff member was even more surprised.

“You’re one of our Black Card members! You’re entitled to tonight’s exclusive package!”

Alice tossed the card to her “Great. Go ahead with it?

The staff member turned to ask Eric about his preferences, but froze the moment she met his gaze

He radiated the chill of a walking glacier, and the sharp glint in his eyes was downright lethal.

Just standing near him made her feel like her whole body was about to be torn apart.

Panicked, she turned and bolted–terrified she’d become the first casualty of his simmering wrath.

Alice, seeing Eric frozen in place, thought he was just reluctant.

“Mr. Eric, don’t tell me you’ve never had this kind of experience before?”

Without answering, Eric lifted his feet and strode inside.

Like hell he was going to let her think he was some clueless rookie.

Alice followed behind quickly.

Inside, she began chatting with the staff with practiced ease, signing up for her package like it was second

nature.

Eric nearly ground his teeth to dust.

Soon enough, the paperwork was done. The staff member approached Eric again with a professional smile.

“Sir, please come with me.”

Eric didn’t budge. He looked at Alice.

“What about you?”

Alice waved a small number tag. “Obviously, I’m going to enjoy mine.”

Eric nearly exploded.

Wonderful.

What a devoted wife.

He turned and followed the staff into the elevator.

Tonight, I’m going to shut this disgusting place down. That was the only thought in his mind.

Alice was about to go upstairs too when her phone suddenly rang–it was Risa.

“What’s up?”

Risa had been trying to schedule dinner with her before leaving the country, but Alice had kept putting it off.

If Risa found out she was relaxing at a spa instead, she’d definitely flip.

But to Alice’s relief, Risa didn’t even ask where she was.

“You’re trending. With me,” Risa said.

Alice was shocked.

She had been driving carlier, helping Eric mentally prepare for tonight. She hadn’t checked her phone

once.

Risa’s comment made her immediately open her social media apps.

Sure enough, the top trending topic was about her and Risa.

The article was short but full of insinuations.

It claimed Risa was her “backer“-the real reason Alice had managed to secure her place in the Nolan Group.

Worse still, it subtly suggested there was something inappropriate about their relationship.

In the entertainment industry, relationships were often vague and hard to define.

For a powerful investor like Risa, it wouldn’t be surprising if she had a few behind–the–scenes deals.
