In the Lap of Luxury novel (Grace and Benjamin) novel Chapter 662

Shawn was very practiced with his movements. He disinfected the area, then sprayed some medicine on.

He rubbed his hands to warm them and began to massage her ankle. His movements were gentle and slow.

Grace could feel the pain in her ankle receding quickly.

"You're very experienced. Have you ever learned professionally?"

Her legs were slender and fair, and slightly reddened from the sprain. Shawn concentrated on his actions, and did not let his gaze linger.

"Yes, I've studied this. I often got injured because of my job, and after some time, I became almost as good as a doctor."

He was still wearing a mask and baseball cap at this hour, and the only thing she could see were a pair of gentle eyes. Grace was curious.

"What did you do before? Why did you get injured so often?"

Shawn's movements paused. "I don't have a good education, so I mostly did physical labor."

Grace was startled, and suddenly felt that she shouldn't have asked. "I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose. I had no idea."

Shawn suppressed a grin at how flustered she was. "It's okay. It's nothing that can't be said."

His hands were calloused, unlike Xander's smooth, clean fingers. It was clear that he had done physical labor in the past.

"Isn't the tea house closed at this hour?" She was trying her best to find something to talk about.

"Yes. All eight of my employees, including Spencer, are so tired they can barely stand. But it can't be helped. All the guests want to get a photo at the tea house Ms. Lewis visited."

There was a teasing note in his voice.

Grace laughed, and her eyes curved into half-moons.

"Isn't that a good thing? I made a bet with Xander that your tea house would definitely be crowded with people! Mr. Griffin, I think that we have a win-win situation on our hands. You earn money, and I win my bet."

Shawn's movement slowed unconsciously when he heard her. "What did he bet?"

"Hmm… he said that your tea house wouldn't have many patrons. How could that be?"

Shawn stopped what he was doing completely, and seemed dazed for a moment.
