Magic hands spa
(Free all your stress and enjoy your day)
Emily sneaked in through the back door looking out for any sign of the manager, she saw Sarah putting on her lipstick.
" Hi Sarah"
" Oh Emily you're here" Sarah smiled
"Hope am not too late " she asked with a friendly smile
" Don't worry you're just in time, my shift ends in two minutes quickly go change"
" Hmm" she nodded and went into the changing room.
Just then Alex came in, her face alone showed she was in a really bad mood.
"Where's the manager... where's the f**king manger!" She yelled making the other customers and employees looking at her
👥 It's Alex Reynolds
🗣️Gosh what's she doing here
👥She looks like she's in a bad mood...
They kept talking about her but she didn't care. Mrs jenny The manager came out immediately with a professional smile.
" Welcome miss Alex to Magic hands..."
" Oh spare me all that " alex cut her off rudely, Mrs jenny obviously embarrassed cleared her throat and covered her face with a fake smile.
" Please, how can we help you today?" She asked politely
" I heard this place takes away stress " alex asked looking at the place with a scowl.
" Yes ma'am...we have the best massagers here and..."
" Good, I have alot of stress today so get me someone that will make all my stress go away " Alex said and she blinked twice.
" Here" alex gave her a card and she collected it, her eyes widened immediately
* A Black card wow!* Mrs jenny exclaimed in her head.
" Am going to pay $2000 dollars for an hour massage
👥Wow!a black card miss alex is really well off
🗣️ An hour massage just cost $500 dollars but see what's she's paying
🗣️ Yeah all those rumors about her borrowing things just to take pictures and living a fake life are all lies.
👤 Yeah, I mean a black card simply means spend without having limit.
The employees and other customers kept murmuring.
" Well... are you going to keep me waiting!" Alex snapped
" Of course not mam...Joan kindly take mam alex to the VVIP room" Mrs jenny said, her smiles reaching her eyes. Alex just scoffed and followed the girl.
Just then Emily came out of the changing room putting away the t-shirt from her other part time job as a waiter.
" Wow, that was crazy" Sarah shaked her head
" You're still here " Emily asked and she turned
" Hmm...am about going" she said and her eyes darted towards her t shirt
" You know you're really amazing Emily
I don't know how you do it," Sarah said, shaking her head. "You have like, five part-time jobs, and this spa job on top of that. I'm exhausted just thinking about it!"
Emily smiled, "Hey, someone's gotta take care of the family, right?"
Sarah chuckled. "I guess so! I mean, I can barely handle this one job, and you're out here crushing it like a boss. You're really amazing Emily!"
Emily's smile grew wider, her face radiating warmth. "It's not easy, trust me. But my kids are worth it. They're my everything."
Sarah's curiosity got the better of her. "Aww, I bet they're adorable! What are their names again?"
"Alexander and Ashley" Emily replied, her voice filled with affection. "They're my little munchkins."
Sarah playfully teased, " awwwwn lovely names and l know they' also look lovely getting their good looks from their mom! (winks) I mean, have you seen your own reflection lately?"
Emily laughed, her eyes crinkling at the corners. "Sarah, you're such a goofball! But thanks for the compliment!"
They were still talking when they heard a scream
" Ahhhhh!..."
" What's that?" Emily asked surprised
" Must be miss Alex" Sarah said and she looked at her confused
" Who's that?..." She couldn't complete her words when the girl from earlier who followed Alex to massage her came crying.
" What happened Joan?" Mrs jenny asked
" She called me names...she said my hands were like rocks and they looked like my face...and...and she threw the towels at me and told me to get out" Joan said still crying
" Gosh that's harsh what a rude thing to say" Emily frowned
" Yep that's Alex Reynolds for you"Sarah said shaking her head at the poor girl.
" Manager!!! Manager!!" Alex screamed
" Yes miss Alex" Mrs jenny hurriedly went to her.
" Poor Mrs jenny, she has to suffer because of that rude brat honestly I don't know what people see in her" Sarah scoffed
" Who is she exactly?" Emily asked and
Sarah's eyes widened in surprise. "Alex Reynolds? You don't know who she is?"
Emily shook her head. "No, I don't think so."
Sarah's expression turned stunned "Only the top actress and model in America! She's a household name, Emily. She's won countless awards, graced every major magazine cover"
Emily's eyes grew wider. "Wow, that's impressive."
Sarah nodded. "And she's not just talented, she's also the only daughter of the wealthy and influential Reynolds family. They're a big deal in America, Emily."
Emily whistled softly. "That's a lot of achievement. She must be a legend."
Sarah's expression turned sour. "Yeah, she's achieved a lot, but it's gone to her head. She's notorious for being rude, harsh, and crazy. She's always making headlines for her scandals and controversial behavior."
Emily's eyes widened in disbelieve "Really?"
"Yeah but do you know the most surprising thing she has millions of followers and fans ,yeah. People love to hate her. They can't get enough of her drama and controversy. And the worst part? She's a marketing goldmine. Anything she endorses sells out in hours. Bags, shoes, earrings, necklaces - you name it. She's a brand unto herself."
Emily shook her head, amazed. "Wow, I had no idea."
Just then Mrs jenny came out sweating.
" Who wants to give miss Alex a massage?" She asked but got no response
" 20% commission and she's paying $2000"
Emily's ears stood out when she heard this.
" Anyone...how about you?"She asked but everyone started giving excuses
"Ah-choo! Sorry, I'm allergic to divas!"Luna faked a sneeze
Who's in?"
Therapist Maria suddenly jumped up, "Oh no, I'm so sorry! I have a urgent... um... toilet emergency!"
Therapist Sophia chimed in, "Yeah, me too! I mean, I have a client waiting for me... outside... in my car... yeah, that's it!"
Sarah added "My shift just ended, Mrs. Jenny. I'm clocking out right now, actually."
Emily, however, raised her hand enthusiastically. "I'll do it!"
Mrs. Jenny beamed with delight. "Emily, you're a lifesaver! Or should I say, a commission-saver?" She chuckled at her own joke.
Sarah approached her. "girl, what are you getting yourself into? Alex Reynolds is... a handful."
Emily smiled confidently. "I can handle it! It's just a massage, right?"
Sarah shook her head,
The room fell silent, with everyone giving her a "You poor, naive soul" look. Sarah mouthed, "You don't know what you're getting yourself into, girl!"
" It's okay...I can do it" she said and Sarah sighed.
Tbc......
