The Invincible Arthur Gardner novel Chapter 4

For Arthur, it was almost too good to be true to be in such an exclusive and luxurious place. He was speechless as he took in the beauty before him; a grand round dining table with lavish chairs, elegant decorations, a hot spring pool, a relaxing sofa with a big screen, and a huge glass window offering a spectacular view of the city. It was a place Arthur had only ever seen in commercials and flyers, or dreamed of.

Edna guided Arthur to the table and said, "Mr. Gardner, I apologize for my previous behavior. I hope you will forgive me and not let that detract from the value of this place."

Arthur could sense Edna's warmth and sincerity through her voice, and was pleasantly surprised that his difficult day had been replaced by Edna's exceptional service.

She said, "Mr. Gardner, you can do whatever you want here. If you would like to eat, we can serve you the best food in the area."

"Alright, thank you, Ms. Edna," said Arthur slowly. "I'd like to relax and take a bath first, as I'm cold from being outside. Then I'd like to eat. Please bring me the most expensive food here. And, if you don't mind, I'd like you to join me while I eat. It doesn't seem comfortable to eat alone."

Arthur knew that in this place, the working waitresses would serve guests wholeheartedly and even accompany them to eat or even help feed them if they wished. While the interactions were limited to that, it didn't go beyond that, for example, sex services. This place was very dignified and provided the most elegant service in town.

"Mr. Gardner," Edna said in a low voice, bowing her head slightly. "You don't have to call me Miss. Just Edna is enough. Of course, I will be happy to serve you and join you while you eat. I can also help you get some warm clothes ready and, if you'd like, I can even help you wash your back."

Rubbing customers' backs while bathing in hot springs was something Edna had never done before. Even though it was usually enforced by the restaurant manager if there was a guest with a very high status, Edna was willing to do it for Arthur because she felt ashamed and guilty for doubting him. She was also sure the manager would force her to do it, or even accompany guests to bathe together. Edna wasn't sure how to refuse.

Realizing Arthur had come alone, Edna thought he might need a friend to accompany him, eat, or do other activities. So Edna left the room.

Arthur slowly entered the hot tub, undressed, washed his body, and slowly stepped in. He felt a pleasant sensation as his body suddenly became warm after a day in the snow.

Arthur closed his eyes and a feeling of pleasure flooded through him, something he had never felt before. His rough skin softened and the dust that had settled on his body was washed away.

Reaching for the soap at the end of the pool, he rubbed it onto his body and revealed in its softness, a luxury the nobleman was accustomed to.

He had been blessed with ten trillion dollars as an introduction to this new way of life and it was a feeling he knew he was going to enjoy for a long time.
