Chapter 1019
Inside the box, there were not only cupping tools but also a back massager and essential oil.
Vermont was too lazy to go to the shop for a massage session sometimes, so he would call a masseur to come to
his house. It was nothing surprising that he actually had all those things at home.
Felicity realized that she had gotten herself in trouble as bit the bullet and said, "I would've thought that you run a
massage parlor if I don't know you."
"Cut the nonsense." Vermont threw her a lighter and said, "Come on, show me how good you are."
He lay flat on the sofa, exposing his entire back.
Felicity looked at the lighter, then the bottles and jars in the box. She thought about the last time she had cupping
therapy and how the therapist did it. She felt like... it was not anything too difficult. 'I only have to do this, then this,
and put the jar on his back, right? 'It doesn't require a lot of skills... I guess.'
' What are you waiting for?" Vermont urged her. "We're going to play games after this."
Felicity recollected herself. Then, she took a huge cotton swab and dipped it in alcohol, lit it, and then swirled it
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtinside a jar before quickly placing it in the center of Vermont's back.
After noticing that Vermont did not say anything, Felicity pushed the jar slightly and felt that it was pretty sturdy.
Suddenly, she felt like a genius who could place the jar just anywhere she wanted.
Vermont reached for the remote control and switched on the television while enjoying Felicity's service.
The television was playing a trailer for World Peace, which was a show going to be aired on a channel during the
prime time next week.
In the past two weeks, World Peace had been on the trending searches of Facebook. The show had not even started
airing, yet its marketing and promotion had made it very famous. When it was still in production, the original author
of World Peace sparked controversy due to allegations of plagiarism. However, the issue seemed to have fallen
apart after getting so much attention at the beginning, but what happened gained the show a lot of exposure.
There were so many people criticizing World Peace previously, but there was hardly anyone mentioning the
plagiarism anymore now that the show was about to be aired.
From what Felicity knew about capitalism, she figured that the production team either spent money to suppress the
criticism or it was nothing but a marketing strategy to gain traction for the show from the very beginning.
Using plagiarism as a reason to boost a production's popularity had been a very common thing in the industry for a
long time.
They would do anything for money, including tarnishing their own reputation.
However, the disgusting about World Peace was due to its excessive and extensive promotion, it overshadowed
Stella's debut work, The Palace.
Although the director, Daniel Wood, was known to produce outstanding shows, he did not have a very good
relationship with people in the industry. Also, he was not a fan of pulling any publicity stunts or casting high-profile
actors in his shows. So, other than the fact that the second female lead of The Palace got on trending searches
because of her controversial stance, the other time that it gained a little attention was the internet rumor that
Bella's role was stolen by an unknown actress with a strong background.
Even though the production team made an official clarification that they never offered Bella a role, it still gained
lesser traction than the rumor itself.
And now The Palace was going to premiere on the same day as World Peace, it had become anything topic for
netizens to talk about.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBella's fans were extremely pleased that The Palace was overshadowed by World Peace's constant promotion.
So, Felicity got very angry when she saw the trailer. "What a rubbish plagiarized show. How could it even be aired?
Are the reviewers blind or something? They halted so many other productions, yet they approved plagiarized work!
Ridiculous!"
Vermont chuckled. "Well, it's just another money-making drama. It's not targeting the same market as The Palace
anyway. Why are you so bothered?"
Felicity replied, "Because their premiers are on the same day. It'll definitely affect the viewership of The Palace by
then. If The Palace failed to get a lot of viewers, Stella's future opportunities might be affected. After all, she needs
to prove herself now."
Then, she started scolding Bella, "Mistress Young is really getting on my nerves." Felicity suddenly remembered that
Vermont was Bella's ex-boss, and he was the reason why she became famous. Then, she got even angrier.
Vermont had no idea what was going on in her head as he said, "The one on the left feels a little loose. Fix it
please."
Felicity took the jab off with a tense face. When she was about to put it back, the doorbell rang.
She was startled, and the burning cotton swab fell on Vermont's shorts. Then, the flame started spreading all over.
