Chapter 14: Chapter 014: A Chance!
Julia Stewart looked at Lionel Yeager and said, "Lionel, although we're getting engaged soon, we still aren't a real couple, so I hope you can respect me."
"Understood."
Lionel nodded and then said, "Tell me, what's going on with your company?"
Julia explained, "I have a company called East Beauty Biomedical Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. The company mainly produces cosmetics and health care products.
In River City, there is a company that has been competing with us, called Prosperity Pharmaceutical, owned by the Jordan Family.
Recently, Prosperity Pharmaceutical launched a new facial mask with powerful effects that can clear blemishes, whiten skin, reduce wrinkles and make skin radiant.
Once it hit the market, this facial mask became instantly popular and sold like hotcakes.
As a result, our sales of cosmetics at East Beauty Pharmaceuticals have been dismal for the past few months.
So, I'm considering launching a new product to regain the market."
Lionel had a thought.
It turned out that Julia was running a biomedical company, which was related to his medical skills.
Seeing that Lionel didn't speak, Julia continued, "However, our company's research and development team can't develop a product that can compete with this facial mask.
So, I'm thinking about buying a beauty secret recipe from an ancient medical family."
"I thought it was something serious, it's just this!"
Lionel laughed and said, "Miss Stewart, it's just a beauty secret recipe, it's nothing difficult, leave it to me!"
"The Medical Immortal's Treasure" has many secret prescriptions, including countless beauty secret recipes.
So, the predicament Julia is facing right now is nothing to him.
Julia frowned and said, "Lionel, I know that your medical skills are good.
However, beauty secret recipes are hard to come by and can't be obtained just by having money."
Lionel said helplessly, "But it really isn't a big deal for me, I have a lot of beauty secret recipes."
Upon hearing Lionel's words, Julia frowned even more.
She thought Lionel was being unreliable and only boasting.
She knew better than anyone how precious beauty secret recipes are.
Although there are many beauty secret recipes handed down today, most of them are held by certain ancient medical families.
Those ancient medical families usually don't sell their beauty secret recipes, but keep them for their own families."
But, she suddenly had an idea.
She looked up at Lionel and said, "Lionel, you said that this matter is nothing to you, right?
In that case, I'll give you a chance.
If you can help our company through this crisis, I promise to continue to be with you and not break off the engagement.
If you can't do it, we'll break off the engagement after some time."
"Okay, deal!"
Lionel's mouth curled slightly, revealing a confident smile.
Seeing Lionel agree so readily, Julia couldn't help but frown.
Could this guy really do it?
She said this to make him give up!
She didn't believe that he could actually manage it.
In the end, she would have to rely on the secret recipe provided by the Chaplin Family.
Julia shook her head to clear her thoughts and asked, "Lionel, do you know how to give a massage?"
"Yes!"
Lionel nodded.
Julia said, "My shoulders are a bit sore, can you help me massage them?"
"Of course."
Lionel replied with a smile, and then walked behind her.
The woman's hair was shiny and smooth, casually draped over her shoulders, emitting a faint scent of shampoo, very pleasant.
Also, from Lionel's angle, it was easy to see a touch of fair skin at her neckline, which involuntarily made his heart race.
Lionel shook his head, discarded those inappropriate thoughts, and began to massage her shoulders.
He used an ancient massage and acupressure technique, applying force sometimes gently and sometimes firmly, accurately pinching the acupoints.
Julia Stewart closed her eyes slightly, enjoying Lionel Yeager's massage.
Although she often went for SPA and massages, none of the masseuses' techniques could compare to Lionel Yeager's.
After Lionel Yeager's massage, she felt all her fatigue swept away, and the soreness in her shoulders vanished instantly.
After a full half an hour of massage, Julia Stewart said, "Lionel, my feet feel a bit sore too, could you massage them for me?"
"Ah?!"
Lionel Yeager was suddenly taken aback, apparently not expecting the woman to make such a request.
Julia Stewart also realized it, and her face flushed suddenly.
Just now, she had been too comfortable and thought she was having a SPA, so she subconsciously said that sentence.
Now that she thinks about it, she was somewhat regretful.
When she went for SPA and massages before, it was always the female masseuse. She had never let any man touch her before.
But now...
Julia Stewart blushed and said, "If it is not convenient..."
"Convenient, of course convenient!"
Lionel Yeager smiled and walked in front of Julia Stewart, then squatted down.
The woman was wearing a professional suit today, her legs wrapped in black stockings, exuding an invisible, lethal charm.
Moreover, the woman's legs were long and well-proportioned, slim where they should be and plump where they should be, flawless.
Especially the woman's feet, well-defined and graceful, emitting a faint fragrance.
Lionel Yeager couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this woman was really a top-notch, without any flaws from head to toe.
"What...are you looking at?"
Seeing Lionel Yeager stunned, Julia Stewart's face showed a touch of blush.
"Oh, oh, nothing."
Lionel Yeager quickly looked away, grasped the woman's small feet, and began to massage.
Julia Stewart's body trembled, as if being electrocuted, tingling all over, her cheeks becoming more flushed.
Lionel Yeager's mind trembled, quickly looked away, no more looking around, but focused on massaging the woman's feet.
Julia Stewart had wanted to call it off, but it was just too comfortable.
She thought, this man was her fiancé, and it was quite normal for her to have some intimate contact with him.
After figuring that out, Julia Stewart finally put down her inner tension and uneasiness and started enjoying it.
Soon, an hour had passed.
Because the fatigue was relieved and it was too comfortable, Julia Stewart was about to fall asleep.
Julia Stewart yawned and said, "That's enough, I should go and rest too."
"Okay."
Lionel Yeager nodded and finally let go of her hand, reluctantly.
Julia Stewart stood up and said, "You can rest in the room on the first floor. There's furniture and a separate bathroom, so you should rest early too."
After that, Julia Stewart went upstairs.
Looking at the graceful figure of the woman, Lionel Yeager thought to himself, "It seems that I still have to get close to this woman.
Otherwise, it is impossible for this woman to have Dual Cultivation with me.
As for forcing her, that's not his style..."
...
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
Early morning.
At River City's most upscale five-star hotel, Cloud Cauldron Hotel, the lights were bright and festive, bustling with excitement.
There were numerous luxury cars at the hotel entrance, Rolls Royces, Bentleys, Maybachs, Ferraris, etc., it was like a luxury car exhibition.
The hotel security guards were on high alert, maintaining order.
Today was the big day when the young mistress of the top families of River City, the Stewart Family, was getting engaged!
