Chapter 19 Continuing with This Force
"Don't tell me that Just one dip in the water and the phone becomes useless!" The thought of Alexander being the head of the Ashford family made Ivy break out in a cold sweat involuntarily. His phone must be worth a fortune.
"How much did it cost?" Ivy asked.
"6 million dollars!" Alexander casually replied.
"How much?" Ivy's voice rose in pitch.
"6 million dollars!" Alexander raised his voice.
Really, 6 million dollars? Ivy's heart sank, and she had just thought she misheard it!
Originally, she had thought that if the price wasn't ridiculously high, she could use the money she earned from tonight's foot massages to compensate Alexander.
Who would have thought the phone was worth 6 million dollars! She only earned 1 million dollars from one foot massage! Even if she had to compensate, she would have to give Alexander five more foot massages.
But she really didn't want to see Alexander even a bit.
"My phone is custom-made, a limited edition worldwide. This price is not expensive!" Alexander said with a cold gaze.
"Is this the quality of a custom-made phone? It doesn't even turn on!" Ivy pouted.
What a foolish woman! The corners of Alexander's eyes twitched slightly. His phone was not something an ordinary person could turn on.
The reason it wouldn't turn on was not an issue with the phone's quality, but because it activated its self-protection program after encountering danger. Without the owner's fingerprint, it was impossible to turn on.
The phone clearly wasn't broken, but Alexander deliberately gave Ivy a hard time. "Since you've damaged my phone, what should we do now?"
Ivy knew she couldn't afford to compensate, so she stubbornly refused to take the blame.
"I didn't break the phone. You didn't secure it properly, which caused it to fall into the water," Ivy defended herself shamelessly.
"Is that so?" Alexander sneered, "The phone was perfectly fine in my hands. Why did you snatch it? If you hadn't snatched it, it wouldn't have fallen into the water."
"But I thought..." Ivy thought Alexander was watching that kind of video, but she couldn't bring herself to say it.
"Quickly compensate me, 6 million dollars is nothing to you, just six days' worth of salary!" Alexander's lips curved into an evil smile.
Six days' worth of salary! Ivy hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Fine, I admit I'm unlucky. I'll compensate you with 6 million dollars!"
It's just five foot massages, right? She was ready to go!
Sitting back on the chair, Ivy applied oil to Alexander's feet again, then earnestly began massaging his feet.
Alexander was thoroughly enjoying this moment, closing his eyes and listening to the music. Occasionally, he would open one eye and steal a glance at the diligent Ivy.
Although it was Ivy's first time giving a foot massage, she was doing well, aside from some occasional mistakes, the process was correct.
Half an hour later
"Finished!" Ivy exclaimed, rubbing her aching fingers and standing up.
"Another hour," Alexander lazily replied.
Ivy's finger joints were in excruciating pain and she didn't want to continue, but she thought about the extra two million she could earn. It wouldn't take long to repay the six million dollars she owed Alexander.
Suppressing the pain in her finger joints, Ivy continued to give Alexander a foot massage.
"You're weak, please use more strength!" Alexander frowned.
Does he think she's weak?
Ivy gritted her teeth and exerted all her strength, pushing her index finger joint firmly into Alexander's sole.
"Ah!" Alexander let out a thunderous roar.
Upon hearing this sound, Ethan and Emma knew Ivy was in trouble again and couldn't help but sympathize with her.
Ivy herself started to regret. What had gotten into her? Why did she do that to Alexander? It was no good provoking him, as it wouldn't benefit her at all!
Just like tonight, she had come to work but hadn't earned a penny. Instead, she was indebted to Alexander for six million dollars!
She swore that once she repaid this huge debt of six million dollars, she would definitely stay far away from Alexander, taking her six little girls with her and hiding in a place where Alexander could never find them.
Everyone was worried about Ivy, but who would have expected that after Alexander's roar, he would utter a jaw-dropping word, "Delicious!"
"What?" Ivy looked at Alexander in astonishment. Wasn't he in pain? He seemed to be in pain, yet he said it was delicious. Could this person be a masochist?
"Continue with that pressure!" Alexander commanded with his dark gaze fixed on her.
Indeed, he was a masochist! Ivy murmured to herself and exerted all her strength, repeatedly pressing on Alexander's sole.
An hour later, Ivy finished her work, but she was almost exhausted.
"I still owe you three million dollars, right!" Ivy said weakly, her eyes filled with intense resentment.
