“Mr. Eric, if you let your mind wander and lose control, don’t come blaming me
Eric stayed silent.
That one line hit him like a cold splash of water, wiping away all his scattered thoughts
But he was surprised too.
Except for when he was unconscious and cut off from the world, he could always see right through most women when he was at his prime in Nolan Group.
It was clear on their faces–they only wanted money.
Every woman who got close had greed written all over her heart.
That just made him feel sick.
Back then, Daniel even thought he had developed some kind of dislike for women and brought in psychologists to help.
But no matter the expert, none could change his mind.
But
I now
He couldn’t tell what Alice really wanted.
And the thing that bugged him most was that Alice wasn’t interested in him, a guy liked by
many .
“Alice.”
“Hmm?”
“Your needle therapy technique is a lot like that of Kite, the famous healer abroad.”
Alice didn’t deny it.
“We’ll keep being friends
if you don’t pry to
much.”
Eric’s face darkened.
“So, you just want to be friends with me?”
Alice smiled brightly, totally chill.

“Mr. Eric, these days, friends are rare. Don’t be so picky.”
Eric felt a heart attack coming.
Alice started pulling out the needles.

Whether on purpose or not, Eric felt every needle come out with a sharp sting that almost hurt too much.
“Alice!”
He sounded like he was grinding his teeth.
It felt like she was ripping him apart from the inside.
Alice smiled softly.
“You shouldn’t get so worked up. It hurts now, but you’ll thank me later.”
Eric sneered.
Thank you?
Thank you for sneaky moves that are making my whole body shake with pain ?
Alice acted like she didn’t get human nature at all, even saying, “Sometimes you find pleasure in pain.”
Eric stayed quiet.
As she pulled out the silver needles, half his upper body felt drained.
When he stood in the tub, his upper body felt light as air, almost like it wasn’t his.
-Alice didn’t look away, just stared at his waist and stomach.
“After lying around so long, your abs are gone. I can only give you a seven out of ten with this body.”
Eric clenched his teeth, furious
This woman has no shame, staring at me like that !
Does she e
know what modesty means?
But after the anger, he looked down at his belly.

Doubt crept in.
Is my figure really that bad?
Before becoming a vegetable, he worked out every day.
He might not have had six–pack abs, but his V–line was sharp and smooth.
Now he’d been reduced so much that Alice, from the countryside, was mocking him.
And she went further.
To be honest, your body isn’t even as good as those blue–collar workers back in the countryside.”
Fuming, Eric slammed his fist into the water, splashing it everywhere.
Alice looked down at the puddle on the floor and sighed.
“Now you’re using water to blow off steam? Not bad.”
She stepped back two steps.
Eric climbed out of the tub.
Whether from the provocation or something else, he stood there completely naked.
Alice acted like this was normal.
She didn’t say a single word.
Eric’s face darkened beyond words.
I’m definitely going to remember this.
I’ll find a chance to get back at her!
He took a deep breath, gave in, and slowly picked up his clothes to dress.
But he had to admit, Alice’s treatment felt like a personal attack.
Even now, his pressure points throbbed lightly.
Putting on clothes felt like torture.
“Mr. Eric, you’re taking quite a while to get dressed.”

Alice’s face flashed with disgust.
Then she pointed at her watch.
“Why does it take you this long just to put on clothes?”
Eric was speechless.
Then she sighed.

“Mr. Eric, when you’re out having fun with clients and can’t get dressed before the others run off, you might end up like your Uncle Josh, caught and taken away.”
That thought made Alice chuckle quietly.
Still, she gave a serious warning.
“If that day comes, don’t say I’m family. You can have Stanley and the others pick you up, but I personally can’t handle that kind of embarrassment.”
She pressed her lips tight.
“I’ve never treated someone this useless before.”
Eric almost ground his teeth to bits.
