Chapter 949 She Can''t Afford to Be Humiliated


    Allison closed her eyes and tried to recall. "About half an hour." "Alright, Madam. I''ll perform heat


    therapy to open up your pores before we proceed with the treatment." Elsa covered Allison''s eyes with


    a damp towel before starting the treatment.


    Allison felt a st of hot air on her face.


    She felt slightly ufortable and asked, "Why does my skin feel off recently, Elsa? It gets very


    ufortable with the slightest irritation."


    Elsa''s hands that were mixing the beauty essence paused for a while as sheposed herself. She


    smiled gently and said, "It means that your skin''s condition is bing better, Madam. Your skin is so


    soft and tender, so it''s not surprising that it gets irritated easily. Look at the people who work menial


    labor every day. Their skin is rough, and they won''t be as sensitive as yours."


    Allison thought that it was quite strange, but what Elsa said made sense too.


    Her skin was well-maintained, and it should not be surprising that it was more sensitive.


    She smiled and said, "That makes sense."


    After mixing the beauty essence, Elsa ced her hands on Allison''s shoulders and massaged her.


    "Yes, Madam. Everyone out there is praising that your skin is like that of an eighteen-year-old. You can


    see that the treatment is effective, isn''t it?"


    Allison thought that what Elsa said was pleasing to the ear. Zachary had fallen in love with her because


    of her outstanding looks.


    She wanted to maintain those beautiful looks for as long as she could, which was why she emphasized


    beauty treatments.


    She was proud that she was the most beautiful one among the friends of her age.


    "You''re such a charmer." Allison''s difort disappeared thanks to Elsa''s praise.


    Elsa''s nimble hands gave her a satisfying massage.

    "I''m only telling you the truth, Madam. Look at Mrs. Jaeger or Mrs. King. When you sit together with


    them, you don''t look like you''re in their generation. Everyone will believe you if you tell them that you’ve


    just graduated from college." Elsa might have exaggerated a little, but she was familiar with Allison''s


    temperament.


    As expected, Allison was happy when she heard that. She nodded and said, "That''s because I spare


    no expense in maintaining my beauty."


    She and her friends would usually go shopping or hang out at cafes, but they would also discreetly


    compare themselves with each other.


    After the beauty treatment, Allison could feel that the condition of her skin was bing better and


    better. Of course, she was quite happy about it.


    The heat therapy wasplete. Following that was the beauty treatment. It took about an hour.


    Elise came in with Allison''s lunch. "I''ve made some herbal porridge for you, Madam. Your skin will be


    glowing after eating it."


    Allison was already hungry. She took the bowl and began to eat the porridge elegantly.


    "How is it, Madam?" Elise asked softly.


    "Not bad. It''s a lot more delicious than those you can find in restaurants," Allison praised. She


    appreciated Elise''s cooking more and more.


    Elise and Elsa exchanged nces and smiled.


    The medicinal herbs used in the porridge were bought wholesale. Elise did not know what herbs those


    were, so long as they were not poisonous.


    Allison was addicted to the porridge because Elise had added a certain something inside.


    It was something that could improve the taste but would not be detected that easily.


    Allison finished the porridge and handed the bowl to Elise. "This is


    delicious. My friends will being over in two days, and I want you to make a pot."


    Elise nodded, took the bowl, and handed Allison a checklist. "This is the list of ingredients, Madam. I


    don''t think we have enough ingredients if you want to make an entire pot."


    Allison nced at it and did not look at it carefully. "How much?" She asked.


    Elise shot a nce at Elsa and said, "These medicinal herbs are top-grade, Madam. It would be


    cheaper if I buy it all at once, and I''ll need fifty thousand dors."


    Allison frowned. "Fifty thousand? That much?"


    Elise took the checklist and said innocently, "That''s already the discounted price, Madam. Take a look


    at the list. The herbs are all very expensive."


    Allison did not know all of the herbs, but she could recognize a few that were very expensive. She felt a


    little reluctant.


    She only had one million dors, and she still had to pay her credit card debt...


    "Alright, I''ll transfer the money to your ountter, and you can go buy it. Prepare the porridge two


    dayster, and also some exquisite desserts," Allison said reluctantly. She had been bragging about


    Elise''s cooking in front of her friends. It would be embarrassing if there was no porridge.


    She could not afford to be humiliated that way.


    Elise kept the checklist and smiled. "Don''t worry, Madam. I''ll use the money and buy the highest quality


    ingredients. Your friends are discerning eaters, and they''ll know if the ingredients are mediocre. I''ll


    make sure that every gram of the food is of the highest quality."


    When Allison heard that, she continued, "Fifty thousand dors won''t be enough. I''ll give you sixty


    thousand. Make sure that you don''t put anything cheap in it." "Yes, Madam." Elise smiled in


    satisfaction. It was so easy to get money from their employer.


    Elsa was in a good mood. She massaged Allison''s legs with all her might.


    They could not help but feel lucky to have such a wealthy but silly employer.


    Wealthy olddies who lived alone were the most generous employers.


    Allison was enjoying the massage, but her brows furrowed gently when she was reminded that she was


    running out of money.


    Elise noticed that and asked, "Is there something troubling you, Madam?"


    Allison thought for a while. The siblings had worked for her for quite some time now, and they did not


    look like they would gossip. "Do you know any of those ne''er-do-wells?” "Who do you mean, Madam?"


    Elise and Elsa looked at each other but did not answer her question.


    "I mean, those people thatmit crimes for money,” Allison said, though she did not tell the siblings


    what she actually wanted. "I have a friend who found out that her husband has a mistress, so she''s


    looking for someone to take revenge. She''s looking for someone with nimble fingers, if you know what I


    mean."


    Elsa frowned and thought for a moment before speaking, "I know someone, but don’t misunderstand


    me. He''s from my hometown, and we took the same bus to A City. We don''t keep in touch, but we''ve


    heard of what he has done back in our hometown." "Do you have any way to contact him?" Allison was


    delighted. She could not wait to get her hands on Old Master Crawford''s inkwell.


    Old Master Crawford had a vast collection of antiques. He would not mind if he lost one.


    She nned to sell the inkwell on the ck market and use the money to tide these tough times.
