Chapter 237 A Deep Exfoliating Scrub

“I’m in a terrible mood and need someone to talk to, Alice muttered.

Risa burst out laughing. Then I’ll leave you to it. There are still so many people waiting for me to spoil

them.

With that, she hung up.

Her whole style was about pushing people right to the edge without letting them fall.

The abrupt end of the call made Alice even more annoyed.

She snatched up her room card and headed upstairs.

She needed a serious exfoliation to scrub the frustration from her soul.

Upstairs, a male staff member greeted Eric and guided him to the room.

He then informed Eric that the top–rated therapist had been assigned to him for a deep exfoliating scrub.

Eric narrowed his eyes at the neatly dressed, overly polite man.

Just you?”

The therapist gave a practiced, warm smile. “You’re welcome to choose up to three therapists, Sir.”

Eric’s expression darkened. “Three?”

What on earth is Alice thinking?

Why did she book male therapists for me?

Does she think that I’m into men?

His rage flared instantly with those thoughts.”

The therapist tapped on the tablet in his hand. “Sir, would you like me to add two more therapists to serve you?”

“Get out,” Eric growled, rubbing his forehead as anger flared within him.

Still, the therapist remained professionally calm.

“Would you prefer a different exfoliation therapist? If you have anyone in mind, I can make arrangements.”

“Exfoliation?” Eric asked in confusion.

The therapist gestured to the adjacent bathroom.

The water and bath pizducts are all single–use. You can begin your bath whenever you’re rearly.

If you’re unfamiliar with our therapists, you can browse the tablet for available staff.

“That said, I do hope you’ll give me the chance to serve you.”

Eric was speechless now.

He gave no reply, simply walked into the bathroom, and started the soak.

To his surprise, it really was just a regular deep scrub.

The therapist’s strength was impressive.

It really felt like a whole layer of skin was coming off.

He didn’t scream like an average person would, but the intensity shocked him.

It was a legitimate spa center, after all.

Once finished, the therapist lit some calming aromatherapy oils.

“Sir, you may rest now. If you need anything, just press the button.”

Eric lay back on the massage bed, staring at the ceiling, still in disbelief.

He couldn’t help but chuckle softly.

Then he closed his eyes.

Meanwhile, Alice felt completely relaxed after the exfoliation session.

She had actually learned this stress–relief method from a close girlfriend.

At first, she’d been skeptical–but after experiencing one deep exfoliating scrub, she was hooked.

Lately, Eric had looked like a walking stress knot, always tense and wound tight.

She had wanted to share this remedy with him.

It worked. After the scrub, even her mind felt clearer.

Online, public opinion had surprisingly not turned against her.

Many netizens remained logical.

“Info not confirmed by multiple sources–take it with a grain of salt.”

“Bestie energy is strong with these two.”

“I’m here for gossip.”

“I just want to know who’s spreading the rumors.”

Will they clarify things?”

“Honestly, I admire Alice–she’s the perfect example of someone who made it out of nowhere”

Tll be waiting for the official statement”

Rather than ruining her reputation, this scandal had somehow made her more popular.

She had been trending for eight full hours.

Alice was now seated in the spa lobby, waiting.

She opened her phone and posted a message, tagging Risa.

“You’ll be leaving in a few days. I guess I’ll have to see you off at the airport.”

Risa replied almost instantly.

“Girl, aren’t you afraid of public backlash? I am. Just stay home.”

Alice nearly burst out laughing at that.

Their little exchange sent the internet into a tailspin.

Even in the middle of a scandal, they dared to flaunt their friendship publicly.

They weren’t worried about adding fuel to the fire at all.

After chatting with Risa for a bit, Alice turned to a staff member.
