The air inside the Crestview Spa Lounge was thick with the scent of sandalwood and lavender.
Soft music played in the background, an elegant, almost deceptive contrast to the two men currently plotting within the lavish, dimly lit room.
Richard Morrison, the handsome and charismatic CEO of the Morrison® brand, lounged in a cushioned recliner, draped in a silk robe.
His main medium of entertainment — a newspaper lay open in his hands, the headline barely of interest to him — his mind was far more occupied with schemes of his own.
Behind him, Catherine Langley, the media manager of Business Everyday, kneaded his shoulders with the precision of someone who knew exactly where to apply pressure.
She wet her palms with an expensive golden balm, then rubbed it gently from his shoulders down to his back.
Even for his age, Richard still had a fairly toned and able body. A result of extravagant treatments such as this.
