Chapter 381 - Feeling Upset

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The manager recognized Harmony at a glance when she entered the spa and greeted her very enthusiastically. “Welcome, Ms. Johnson.”

Was it her lucky day that day? Harmony’s arrival came just after she had received the patronage of two ‘celebrities’ in Samantha and Rochelle.

Harmony was wearing some rather big sunglasses that covered almost half her face, but the manager was still able to recognize her and knew that there was a reason for her visit.

The purpose of Harmony’s visit was to confirm, with her own eyes, whether Samantha had really given birth to a child.

She did not want to attract any attention, in particular from Samantha, because she was afraid that something might happen.

Harmony raised her chin slightly and instructed directly, “Arrange for a private room. I’d like to discuss some things with you and get a better understanding of what you offer here.”

The manager immediately understood what she meant and nodded respectfully. “We have a special VIP room, Ms. Johnson. Right this way, please.”

Harmony strutted forward on her high heels and held her head high.

After entering the VIP room, Harmony sat on the large sofa and took off her sunglasses, which she tossed casually onto the coffee table.

The manager personally brought Harmony some tea and cakes. She then handed over the spa’s brochure to Harmony while saying, “This is everything we have in offer, Ms. Johnson. Please have a look at which package you’d like.”

Harmony picked up the coffee cup and took a sip before taking the brochure and flipping through it casually.

While browsing, she pretended to ask casually, “By the way, I heard that Samantha is also here today. What project is she doing?”

The manager was not too surprised after earlier guessing that Harmony never intended to get any spa treatments. She merely showed a slightly embarrassed expression as she said, “Ms. Johnson, we value our guests’ privacy and we can’t just simply disclose any information.”

“Heh,” Harmony sneered disdainfully.

She glanced at the manager, then decided to sign a blank check from the checkbook she took out of her bag.

She tore it off and slapped it onto the coffee table.

Then, she looked at the manager again and asked, “I’m sure you can tell me now, right?”

The manager’s eyes were drawn to the blank check.

She might have been able to resist if Harmony had merely offered a price, but the temptation of a blank check was something few could resist.

Harmony was rumored to be extraordinarily generous and it seemed that the rumors were true.

More importantly, Harmony was not from a famous family and had no background, but the fact that she could spend like no tomorrow was proof that she was particularly adored by Timothy. That was the only logical reason why Timothy would let her spend his money like that.

As the manager thought of that, she slowly stretched out her hand and took the check before smiling and answering truthfully, “Ms. Larsson is doing a massage and some skin treatments.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“A massage?” Harmony asked. “Is it a full-body massage?”

“No, it’s a relaxing massage for her shoulders and neck.”

Harmony frowned, if it was just the shoulders and neck, she would not be able to see Samantha’s stomach.

She could not tell the masseuse to open Samantha’s bathrobe for no reason. After all, Samantha was a very cautious woman, and if she started overthinking, Harmony’s plan would be disrupted.

Harmony asked again. “What treatments do you have here that require a person to show their stomachs?”

The manager was speechless for a few seconds, but she had heard all kinds of gossip about rich people after being in the industry for so long. That question, therefore, did not surprise her.

Rich people...really were messed up.

The manager thought for a while and replied, “Ms. Johnson, we actually have a hot spring here. We’ve introduced a technology that is very moisturizing for the skin and provides many benefits for those who soak in the hot spring.”

“You should be able to see her stomach if she takes the hot spring treatment.”

Harmony smiled with satisfaction.

Samantha went there to do skin treatment because she wanted to take good care of her skin. Adding the hot spring treatment to her package would then provide for a chance to see her stomach.

To make sure the plan does not fail, Samantha would have to be forced to wear a swimsuit that exposed her stomach.

She said, “In that case, please tell Samantha that you have an event happening in your store. All VIPs present can enjoy the hot spring for free and give them disposable swimsuits.

“The main point is you have to convince Samantha into going to the hot springs and letting her put on a swimsuit that exposes her stomach!”

The manager sighed. There was no free lunch in the world after all, especially when she received a blank check!

If she was successful, however, she did not need to worry about her child’s tuition anymore!

The manager nodded. “I’ll get to it right now, Ms. Johnson.”

…

A sudden knock was heard from outside the VIP room. Once permission was given, the manager pushed the door open and came in.

Samantha and Rochelle were lying on one bed each and a masseuse was massaging their shoulders. There was even soft music playing in the room.

The manager stepped forward and asked softly, “Mrs. Barker, Mrs. Yates, since our store is new, we have an event today where we invite VIPs to take a dip in our hot spring. It’s very good for the skin. I sincerely hope you’ll give it a try and provide some feedback.”

Rochelle opened her eyes when she heard that. “An event? Why haven’t I heard about any event today?”

The manager replied calmly, “This event is specially set up for VIPs like you. We didn’t publicize it because we want you to be the first to enjoy the hot springs.”

Rochelle muttered an ‘Oh’ before turning around to look at Samantha. “Would you like to take a dip, Sammy?”

Samantha opened her eyes and said, “Since the manager said it’s good, then we might as well give it a go.”

“Alright, let’s go then.”

The manager was overjoyed and immediately said, “We’ve prepared two new swimsuits for you. You can move directly to the hot spring area at the back once you put them on.”

Samantha replied, “Alright, we got this.”

The manager exited the room happily.

Half an hour later, the massage was over and the masseuses exited the room.

Samantha and Rochelle took some time to relax before getting up and putting on their swimsuits.

Rochelle looked at the bikini and rolled her eyes. “Why are the disposable swimsuits in this spa so…sexy?”

Samantha looked at the mirror and said, “It’s a little...too sexy, but it doesn’t matter since this place only accepts female guests.”

The two of them went to the hot spring area.

There were no people in the hot spring area and many pools were empty. Samantha and Rochelle chose a pool with rose petals and went in to soak.

Five minutes later, Harmony came to the hot spring area wearing a swimsuit too.

To avoid being seen by Samantha and Rochelle, she took a big detour and proceeded to enter the pool behind.

The two pools were separated only by a gauze curtain.

Harmony could hear them clearly, but there was nothing of value in their conversations because they were discussing topics like skincare and the like.

She did not want to waste any time and picked up the small binoculars she had prepared to secretly peep at Samantha.

The first thing she saw was Samantha’s head and greeted her teeth slightly when she saw Samantha’s thick hair, which complimented those tender and delicate cheeks.

Samantha did not even remotely look like someone who had just given birth to a child.

Despite having no makeup, Samantha’s skin was still as supple as that of a young girl in her teens and twenties.

Meanwhile, Harmony had worked very hard on skincare and all sorts of beauty routines, but her skin condition was still far inferior to when she was young.

Besides, a woman who had given birth should have lost some hair. Why did Samantha still have that much hair on her head?

Harmony did not want to continue feeling upset anymore and so continued to shift her gaze down to Samantha’s chest.

Unfortunately, she became even more upset.

Samantha was a very slender woman but her breasts seemed to be a little fuller than before...

On the other hand, Harmony was afraid to eat much because she wanted to maintain her figure. Although she did slim down, her breasts had shrunk along with her weight loss and she was almost becoming flat.

Harmony clenched the binoculars tightly and bit her lower lip heavily before looking down at Samantha’s stomach.
