CHAPTER 47: DOING THE RIGHT THING

As Yohan strolled to the shop, he couldn’t stop imagining how it would feel to have a million dollars in his account. Would the world even be the same color?

"Even now it still doesn’t feel possible," he smiled, the fact this was only the beginning of the new life that awaited him only made him feel better.

’I need to start writing down everything I remember about the next ten years before I forget anything important’ he reasoned as he continued.

When he arrived at the shop he found Chloe seated at her usual position behind the reception table.

"Yohan, you are here," her beautiful face lit up as she got to her feet excitedly.

But Yohan didn’t share the same enthusiasm, he wore a more grim expression mentally preparing himself to tell her everything that happened between him and Mia.

He stood there for a few seconds considering if he really had to do this.

’I could just pretend like it never happened and continue living my life, if Mia wants to quit that’s her business...’

Chloe noticed the look on his face as she got closer, "Yohan is anything wrong?"

He sighed, ’That’s the cowards way out’

"Chloe there’s something I have to tell you..."

And so he made the bold decision to tell her everything that happened between him and Mia.

"... I know we are not dating but I still thought you had the right to know," he added with a caring tone.

Chloe listened silently, after she buried her gaze grief stricken and heartbroken. He could tell that he had just dropped a bombshell on her but she remained silent until the tears began to fall from her eyes.

The fact that Yohan was fooling around with her friend behind her back was just too unexpected.

"I’d... like to go home early," she managed to say with a broken voice.

"S-sure," Yohan didn’t know what else to do, "I’ll handle thing–"

She didn’t wait for him to finish before sprinting out of the shop.

"Chloe, wait!" He chased after her but stopped after a few steps.

He knew that no matter how sad she was it was better this way, he had to let her know that he had no plans of being in a relationship earlier on before this spiralled into something else.

He returned inside the shop and spent the next few minutes writing down every important thing he could remember about the future.

It was supposed to serve as a distraction but no matter how hard he tried he couldn’t stop thinking about Chloe and Mia.

"I always felt that having women would be a blast... who could have thought it would be so complicated," he sighed.

"Or is it just me that blew it?" He considered.

"Naaa... I honestly don’t even feel that guilty, I got to fuck two very pretty girls. How can I regret something like that?"

"I’m here feeling sorry for them, when I should really be feeling sorry for myself. Now that they are both gone, who’s gonna keep me company?"

"I wish the universe would just send me a customer right about now,"

And just like that he heard the front door open,

"Hello, is anyone here?"

’hmmm, that voice?’

Yohan rushed out of the room to see that the visitor wasn’t just any customer.

"Aunt Vivian?" His face lit up with a mixture of excitement and surprise, "I wasn’t expecting you to come in today,"

She had on a yellow skirt that hugged her figure and a blue silk office blouse.

"I had some free time and I just thought I’d drop by," she said with a soft smile, "Are you the only one here, where is everyone?"

"Uhhh... I sent them home early. Yeah nothing much was happening so I decided to send them home,"

"Huh? is that a good idea, what if a customer comes in for a massage?"

"Then I’ll just do it myself," Yohan said confidently,

"You would?"

"Yeah, I’m pretty good at giving massages,"

"Since when?"

"It’s been a while, it’s my shop after all what kind of boss would I be if I couldn’t do that much. Why don’t you come inside so I’ll show you my skills,"

He took her hand and led her inside.

"Yohan I’m not sure that is a good idea," Vivian hesitated to go into the small closet that served as the changing room.

"Aunty trust me, you are not going to regret this,"

"No seriously," she said frantically, "I think I forgot something I had to do back at work,"

"You can go back after we are done, it wouldn’t even take more than an hour,"

He playfully pushed her inside the changing room and shut the door.

Now inside the dimly lit room, Vivian was left alone with her thoughts. She had only two options, one was to think of another excuse and try to leave and the other was to take off her clothes and let Yohan massage her body.

"I really don’t want to give him the wrong impression that I don’t trust him, if I try to leave again he might think I’m holding a grudge against him..."

She pondered on it for a few more seconds before she started taking off her clothes, only leaving her bra and panties before wrapping a towel around her body.

’Yohan is just trying to be nice and restore our relationship, I shouldn’t be reading so much meaning to his actions if I want things to go back to normal’

She stepped out of the changing room,

’Receiving a massage from my husband’s nephew isn’t a crime when it’s his job, I’ll just imagine it’s any other person... yeah, it shouldn’t be weird right?’

Yohan was standing beside the bed with a small smile,

"Come on, lie down so we can begin,"

She hesitated,

"Don’t worry I’ll be gentle," he added.

That wasn’t what she was worried about but she took in a deep and obeyed, lying face down on the massage bed.

"Good. I’ll begin now,"
