Married to the Boss: A Love in Disguise Chapter 181
Lumma cut her off. “Dr. Cohan, please don’t talk nonsense.”
Laura fell silent.
Did she once again end up creating trouble for herself?
She really wanted to tell Lumma directly, “Adam’s wife is you. Everything he did was for you. You
should cherish him. Don’t let down his sincerity. Don’t keep thinking about pushing him to others.”‘
She thought, “Forget it. Let the two of them handle their own affairs. I should focus on the task at
hand.” And she said, “Lumma, I heard your hands and feet get very cold in winter. Would you like
me to take a look?”
Lumma was baffled. “How did you know that?”
Of course Adam had told Laura. He even asked Laura to come over right away, saying tomorrow wouldn’t do.
Laura couldn’t tell the truth, so she made up her own story. “Yesterday, when I was tending to Keeley, I noticed her

today don’t pay enough attention to health maintenance. Many have issues like this.”
“Thank you, Dr. Cohan, but
no need.” Laura was Adam’s private doctor. Lumma didn’t want to trouble her over such small matter
“Let her take a look. It won’t cost you anything,” Adam’s voice came suddenly, low and pleasant.
Lumma turned around and met his gaze. His attractive eyes behind the silver glasses were full of
tenderness.
She was as if under a spell for a moment and couldn’t look away. That panicky feeling came over her again.
She wanted to refuse, wanted to escape this place that troubled her mind. But under Adam’s powerful presence,
she blurted out involuntarily, “Then take a look.”
Laura said, “I’ll press some acupressure points to activate your blood circulation. It may hurt a little, but bear with
it.”
It was just acupressure. Lumma felt she could handle it. “Press as you like, Dr. Cohan. I’m not afraid of pain,”
Laura grasped Lumma’s hand and pressed a few points on it casually. Lumma felt something rush through her
crown, hurting with a “hiss”.
Just as her whole body went limp with pain, a strong arm wrapped around her waist. Adam’s gloomy voice rang in
her ears, “You call this hurting a little?”
Laura rarely saw Adam with such a gloomy look and was truly frightened this time. “No use
pressing if it doesn’t hurt…”
“I’m not in pain…” Lumma nervously shook off his arm and rushed into Laura’s embrace. “Dr. Cohan, let’s go
upstairs to continue.”
Lumma didn’t know whether they could go upstairs was not for Laura to decide. Laura looked at
Adam. Without his consent, it was forbidden.
“Adam’s wife has the same issue as you. Adam wants to learn how I press acupressure points so he
can personally massage his wife later,” Laura felt she was rather clever to come up with such a perfect excuse
under such pressure.

So this was the real purpose of their insistence on seeing her cold hands and feet.
Tonight, besides being a part-time taste tester, she also had to be an acupressure massage model.
Lumma was quite willing to go along with it. After all, to earn a high salary, she naturally had to pay
more than an ordinary worker.
No personal life on holidays, always on call for the boss’s summons, and having to try out things in
advance for the boss’s wife from time to time.
While Lumma was lost in thought, she heard Laura say, “Done.”
She didn’t know whether Adam’s words had taken effect or she, as the “acupressure model,” was
just a prop. Whether her cold hands and feet could be cured had never been their focus. Anyway, Lumma didn’t
feel any pain afterwards, and Laura seemed to have gone through the motions.
After the massage, Lumma went upstairs to continue packing her unfinished luggage. After packing, she took a taxi
home.
On the way, she sent Adam a WhatsApp message, “Mr. Hills, I’m going home now. I’ll still have to
trouble you to take care of Keeley’s affairs.
