Taboo Stepson System-Chapter 39: Home Service 1

After ending the call with Grace, Miles booked an Uber and ordered some fast food.

’Operating on an empty stomach? No way.’

Already feeling the worms in his stomach beginning to protest, Miles quickly dashed up the stairs, planning to bathe and change into something casual before heading out.

Currently, the house was quiet and almost desolate.

Josephine hadn’t come back yet, probably having girls’ time with her clique of friends. Deb, of course, had a job. She was a professional digital marketing strategist.

Hannah, his step mom, was at work too.

Cassie was the only one present apart from him. But being the reclusive girl she was, she stayed in her room almost every time. In fact, most of her life was a mystery to him despite how close they were. She was the lone wolf of the Sinclairs’ family in a certain sense.

...20 minutes later.

Knock knock

Wearing a plain white T-shirt, blue jeans and white sneakers, Miles placed two light hits on Cassie’s door and a distinct click resounded from it a couple of seconds later.

The door parted wide open, revealing Cassie’s slender frame in baggy joggers, and a cropped top that perfectly outlined her small nipples, while creating a sharp exposure of her perfectly curved waist.

Captivated by the view, Miles was momentarily speechless that Cassie had to flick her fingers to draw his attention back to her face.

"Oh my gosh Miles, don’t tell me you too."

Cassie drew a long breath, sounding exasperated as she rolled her eyes, threatening to close the door right away.

"What? Is it wrong to be captivated by my beautiful sis? Or to perfect creations?"

Miles asked, feigning a dumb sheepish look in his eyes as he grinned.

Hiding her faint blush at his comment, Cassie rolled her eyes and exhaled, resting her hands on her waist and the door knob.

Resigning to be teased by him, Cassie’s expression rolled out "What do you want?" but Miles didn’t want to drop the conversation that quickly.

"Tell me, have guys been disturbing you a lot? Like catcalling and visual harassment. You know, I could beat the shit out of them. Even kill a few for you if warranted."

Seeing and hearing Miles’ dead serious look and tone, Cassie folded and burst into a choking laughter that made her lower her back.

" What?"

Actually dumbfounded, Miles was speechless, thinking if his statement sounded wrong somewhere. While at it, his eyes swept her room, finding a PC on her bed with a live stream of them playing on it.

’She streams?’ Miles was greatly taken aback by this discovery.

Whilst, finally managing to catch her breath, Cassie stood upright with difficulty.

"Chill bro, you’ve only been to the gym once."

She said the words in her mind and burst into another fit of laughter.

"It doesn’t matter, you’ll see soon enough."

Miles shook his head, realizing she took him for a joke.

Catching her breath once more, Cassie smiled.

"Really?"

"Yeah. If you ever get in trouble or need any help, call me."

This time, Cassie didn’t laugh, realizing he actually meant it, so she nodded.

"Nice, so you stream?"

Cassie froze when she heard this, glancing behind her, she saw the lit screen of her PC.

" Shit." She cursed under her breath.

"Please don’t tell Mom." She quickly added, facing him.

" Oh, it’s cool. I’m also leaving for my part time job. That’s what I came to tell you. In case I’m late, cover for me."

"Sure."

Cassie smirked.

"See you later."

With that, Miles turned heels and ran.

On his way to the Spa, inside the booked Uber, while munching on a hot dog. Miles watched Cassie on the stream as she discussed random things, mostly about how her day went.

She had more than a hundred viewers on her stream which was a bit surprising.

" Hehehe-" Miles laughed heartily, unleashing streaks after streaks of gifts worth $5000 in total.

Watching the pure look of astonishment and overwhelming joy on her face filled him with a happiness of his own.

Not long after, they arrived at the Spa, which was the first floor of a commercial building and he hopped from the vehicle.

Wiping off his hands, Miles took a breath before stepping into the spa.

Though he had to say, being welcomed into the reception area by the suspicious gaze of the receptionist’s kinda offended him. He was drawn by the dark skinned beauty with neatly braided hair, seeming to be in her mid twenties and wearing a formal Masseuse uniform. And apparently, she was his co-worker .

Speaking of co-worker, she was going to be the first he ever laid his eyes on, with the receptionist being out of the count.

The lady also stared back at him in astonishment, appearing skeptical even.

Based on the receptionist expression, she could tell Miles was the rumoured new masseur, and a special one at that. Special that even the Boss had to respect him.

According to the gossip the receptionist gave, Tranquil Touch Signature Massage Service had been created because of him.

’But... he looks so young. Almost like a teenager?’ Naomi thought to herself.

’Uhm, this is weird. I’ve never dealt with a co-worker in both lives. The only ’co-’ I know are co-inmates.’

While finding it cringe to introduce himself and appear like the high schooler he was, Miles withdrew his gaze with a slight nod and kept walking.

’She’ll be a good catch no doubt. But opportunities mostly come to the patient and restrained.’

Upon getting to the office, Miles saw Grace sitting behind her desk.

"You’re here." She said, her gaze expressing her displeasure at his late coming .

However, Miles dismissed it with a smile, he was his own person in this job and wasn’t going to apologize for being a few minutes late.

"Yeah. I’ll go change."

Grace didn’t comment and merely nodded. She got her car key ready, along with ointments needed for home service.
