She arrived in front of the door and pressed the door bell. A moment later a young lady came into her view. Introducing herself, the lady lead her into the house.
She looked around marvelling at the size of the living room and the decorations displayed. On the wall was a big family photo which was eye catching.
_'seems like my customer this time is a big shot huh, am gonna smell like kash kashy. Money everywhere.'_ she rejoiced within.
Seeing her lost in thoughts, the female servant coughed to bring her back from her Dreamland as she beckoned her to take a seat as she went to pour her a glass of apple juice. They made small talks before the middle aged butler arrived. Without wasting much of each others time they dived directly to the main topic.
" I have already informed my Master, as it is inconvenient for him to meet you downstairs you may head over to the second floor."
" Well let's not delay any time and get to work." Phoenix gulped down the remaining juice, stood up and let the butler lead her towards the second floor.
Arriving at the second floor, the butler knocked on one of the doors and announced Phoenix's arrival. He opened after getting an affirmation and went in with Phoenix trailing behind him.
The room was big and was painted in dark colours. It had a minimalist design style and the curtains were drawn together leaving it pitch dark.
As she couldn't see where she was going, Phoenix stood on the same place as the butler conversed with the other man in the room.
" Young Master, Miss Jay has arrived and she is ready to render her services. I will switch on the lights and excuse myself."
The middle aged butler took a few steps backwards as he excused himself after informing his master. Signalling Phoenix to start, he closed the door as he went out.
The room became totally enveloped in total silence as Phoenix stood rooted on the ground. She expected the man sitted on the rocking chair to face her but unfortunately he didn't say a word nor turn his head around. Ackwardness crept into the room as no one made a sound.
Not being able to adapt to the silence, Phoenix started walking towards the man's direction. She stood a several metres behind him as she introduced herself.
She cleared her throat, " Afternoon Mr Paulson. Am Phoenix Jay and I will be your masseuse. Well I have already asked your butler some questions but am going to ask again to clarify. "
Taking her notebook out, she started asking as she noted down some important points to pay attention to.
" Do you have any allergies to any essential oils, I have brought some here with me such as frankincense, lemongrass oil, tea tree oil, peppermint oil, lemon oil and lavender oil?" She asked.
" Am allergic to lemon products, that is as far as am aware as I haven't used some of the products there." Replied the man on the chair still giving her his back.
" Noted, Mr green has already informed me about your condition and considering your symptoms I will prescribe lavender oil. This will help with your sleep. You will use that at night to calm your nerves and sooth your body. As for now, I will use Frankincense to help boost your immune system. The other benefit is that it will help in reducing the stress, anxiety and depression........." She talked for a while before taking a break.
" Anything you might need clarity on before we start our session, oh! I was about to forget, I brought a bath robe with me. But if you aren't comfortable with that we can resort to the one you have at home."
" Am fine with whatever preparations you made, we can start after I change". Said the man.
Hearing that, Phoenix took a bath robe from the basket as she passed it to him. Seeing no reaction from the man she frowned.
_'didn't he say he is fine, why isn't he taking it or has he changed his mind'_
She walked closer as she placed the robe before him of which she received no reaction again. She then realized that since she came in, the man has never looked in her direction and remembering the butler's words over the phone, she came to a quick realisation.
" Cough cough, uhm Mr Paulson your bath robe. it's time to change"
Jade stretched forth his hand in the direction of the voice. Phoenix placed the robe in his hands, took several steps backwards. " I can wait outside as you change or I may call Mr Green if you need help."
" No it's fine, I will manage. Thank you." Hearing that, Phoenix walked towards the door as Jade felt around. He stood up as he walked towards the bed in slow practiced steps. Placing the robe on the robe, he began undressing. After he was done dressing, he called out.
