A Man with Nerves of Steel (Joseph Hart) novel Chapter 105

Chapter 105

Joseph mused on the sudden change in Cora’s plans, struggling to make sense of it. He couldn’t fathom why she would abandon her so-called business trip-a trip he knew was merely a cover to spend time with her lover. It made no sense. Had she truly given up, or was this just a calculated delay, a way for her to stall until she could make her next move?

However, his skepticism didn’t stop her from following through. Not only did Cora skip her business trip, but she actually accompanied him on a fishing excursion. And unlike the past, she didn’t seem bored; with a barbecue set up, she stayed by his side for the entire two days he spent by the water.

Over that weekend, she even took him to a private spa for massages. It was one of the businesses under

Lowell Group and was open exclusively to women. If it weren’t for his relationship with Cora, there was no way he could have entered the premises.

Cora asked for a room for two. Together, they enjoyed professional massages and spa treatments from a masseuse.

Joseph had no idea what Cora was up to this time. But under that masseuse’s skilled hands, his body was responding to her touch.

Cora had noticed that. Once that masseuse had finished the massage, Cora sent her out of the room.

“Honey, I have a surprise for you. What did you think of that masseuse from earlier?”

“Are you planning to repeat what happened at the hospital dorm? I’m out of a job now, so I’m a free man. A cheating scandal can’t hurt me anymore.” Joseph seemed to know what Cora was up to. Was this another test?

“I told you. I regret what I did at the hospital dorm. Just give me another chance. I won’t do it again.”

“Then what are you up to now? Are you trying to strike a deal with me? You want me to sleep with this masseuse just so I’ll let you spend time with your lover?

“If that’s what you’re after, then just go ahead. I’ll go home and sleep. I don’t mind.”

“Look at you. You’re getting the wrong idea again. You’re the only man in my life. Why would I even have a lover?

“I’m not going anywhere. I’ll be right here with you. But you haven’t answered me. What do you think of that masseuse?”

“If she caught your eye, she must be good.” Joseph was either getting bolder or simply growing numb to the entire situation.

“Wait here. I’ll talk her into it.”
