“Really?” Sylvia tilted her head and looked at Eder

Eder nodded naturally and said, “Sylvia, if you're curious, | can tell you, but only if you genuinely want

know,”

She pondered for a moment and replied, “Forget it. Since it's a secret, don’t tell me. I'm not need fo knowing.”

Both Eder and Eric let out a silent sigh of relief.

“Miss Sylvia, you may continue talking. I'll step out for now,”

Sylvia nodded in response. After Eric left, she sat by Eder’s bed and checked the wound on his chest. It had

improved significantly after two days.

In reality, these past two days, Sylvia wasn’t truly angry with him. She had just used it as an excuse to sleep in a

separate room, fearing that he might be restless at night and attempting to seduce her.

For the sake of his quick recovery, she wanted to avoid any contact!

There was a significant improvement in his injury. Why were the bruises on his body still visible? It was

strange.

so

She furrowed her brow, casting a sudden glance at him. She noticed his evasive eyes, which added to her

suspicions.

“It's been a few days, but why haven't the marks on your body faded at all? You didn’t do it intentionally, did

you?”

“How could I?” Eder firmly denied. “Why would | do something so strange? Besides, it was you who took the

initiative that time. So why don’t we keep it as a memento?”

She raised an eyebrow, still harboring doubts in her heart.

“Sylvia, | want to take a bath,” he interrupted her train of thought and looked at her with intense, dark

eyes.

Without much consideration, she responded, “No, your injury hasn't fully healed yet. You shouldn't get wet. Shall

| ask Eric to cin and help you clean up?”

Eder appeared downcast, and his eyes conveyed dissatisfaction. “Last twe spoke, you mentioned that only

you would have the privilege of seeing my body in the future. And you want Eric to ruin it now?”

Wanting to prove a point, Sylvia gently touched his handsface. A trace of cunning flashed in her otherwise

clear, starry eyes, while the curve of her red lips turned irresistibly sexy.

She lingered closer to him, her soft voice filled with allure. “Eder, if you wantto take care of you, it’s not

impossible. But before that, | have a surprise in store for you. I'm sure you'll like it.”

His eyes sparkled, and his heart skipped a beat.

She continued, “After a while, your body will be sweaty. I'll help you clean up, so you won't have to do it

twice.”

Eder suppressed the anticipation in his eyes and replied calmly, “Okay.”

“Just wait for me. I'll go next door to get something.”

“Get something?” Eder had a vague feeling that something was amiss.

In a hurry, she ran to the adjacent bedroom and quickly returned.

As she cback into the room, she had a secretive look on her face, keeping her hands hidden behind her

back. She took off her shoes and sat on the bed, slowly positioning herself on top of him, kneeling on

the bed.

Her pale fingertips patiently began unbuttoning the remaining shirt buttons, one by one. While unbuttoning with

her cool fingers, there were occasional accidental brushes against his warm skin.

It seemed intentional, making him shiver and his breathing becerratic.

This was the sprelude script as the day in the hospital. Sylvia had made up her mind and was finally

planning to indulge herself once again.

However, before Eder could revel in the thought, Sylvia revealed a dark green jar hidden behind her,

opened the lid, and a faint medicinal scent filled the air.

Noticing his suspicious gaze, she took sdark brown ointment on her fingertips, rubbed it in the palm of her

hand until it melted, and gently applied it to the bruises on his body.

“Eder, this is a method | asked the doctor about yesterday. It's good for promoting blood circulation, reducing

stasis, and helping the marks fade quickly. These bruises on your body will disappear by tomorrow. Are you

happy?”

Her voice carried a playful tone. The clarity in her starry eyes revealed her determination to eradicate any

evidence.

She would never let anyone know about her impulsive actions in the hospital that day!

What on earth was he expecting just now?

Sylvia noticed his remorseful black pupils and curiously asked, “Why do you seem unhappy? Don't you like this

little surprise?”

It was her first tgiving someone a massage!

Eder took a deep breath, clenched his jaw, and forced out two words through gritted teeth, “I’m happy! I'm

happy!”

Sylvia beamed with joy and continued massaging even harder. She had learned srec the day before and

now he would be her first for a massage!

“Eder, don’t move darling. I'll try my best to be gentle!”

He turned his head to look out the window, remaining motionless, letting her have her way with him.

Her thin lips were tightly pursed, and her expression seemed particularly gloomy.

“Does it hurt like this? Should | be gentler? Forget it, | should probably apply more pressure. Bear with it!”

“Eder, your abdominal muscles feel amazing to touch, hehe...”

“Does it feel good? Am | doing well? Givepraise!”

He blushed and said, “Yes, | love it! You're doing great, keep it up!”

“Really! That's incredible!”

When Sylvia had entered the room earlier, she had forgotten to fully close the bedroom door. It was slightly ajar.

Her voice wasn't soft, and as luck would have it, Eric was passing through the stairwell and caught every word

clearly. Eder delivered his final sentence with visible effort, his tone filled with ecstasy.

Eric’s hand froze on the doorknob. “Are they...?” His jaw dropped in shock.

Did he just overhear a live performance of his boss and Miss Sylvia? Damn, his ears must be dirty!

Mr. Storm had only been on a break for two days. How could he suddenly be engaging in such vigorous activity

again? This is insane, heartless, and inhumane. Miss Sylvia is a force to be reckoned with!

Deeply concerned about his boss’s well-being, Eric stood restlessly in the stairwell, stomping his feet. No,

this can’t be!

Even if it meant facing his boss's wrath and having his salary deducted, he had to take action!

Rubbing his hands together, he pondered for a moment.

Suddenly, an idea struck him.

Quietly, he ascended the stairs and positioned himself in the hallway outside the bedroom. Then, he began

clapping loudly and rhythmically. “Clap! Clap! Clap...”

Surprisingly, the two individuals inside the room remained unfazed by his applause.

Sylvia glanced towards the door but didn’t spot anyone. Leaning closer to Eder, she whis tone, “What is Eric up

to? The clapping was quite intense. Is he unwell? As a boss, you sh attention to your employees’ well-being!”

Eder’s expression turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.

He understood.

The clapping gesture conveyed a specific meaning. Eric had recorded their code words, which meant: “Control!

Control! You must control yourself!”
