Chapter 563: 563
The light was not switched on in the room . Helen Pepe was alone . She leaned against a sofa . She looked through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows and looked outside at the moon and stars in the sky .
In the past year, Helen Pepe had been plagued by severe injuries and her performance had greatly suffered . At the beginning of the Australian Open, she had only made it to the quarter-finals . Later at the French Open, she had been eliminated in the quarter-finals . After that, at Wimbledon, she lost in the third round . In the U . S . Open, although she got through the first round, her injury made it so that she was unable to play the second round, so she had to withdraw .
For a professional tennis player, playing worse meant making less money because sponsors would drop you . This was especially true for beautiful athletes like Helen Pepe . The prize money for the competitions was never her main income . The huge celebrity endorsement fees were the most significant contributor to her income .
Of course, even if she didn't play tennis, Helen Pepe would still be able to gain the favor of many advertisers with her attractive features . She could always do what those supermodels do and partake in a fashion week when she was free . She would only need to show her face and make her presence felt . She would be able to attract many endorsements offers from companies by doing that .
However, if Helen Pepe really wanted to be a supermodel, she wouldn't have trained every day to become a tennis player . The life of an athlete was much harder than that of a supermodel's . The kind of players who could win grand slams gave their blood, sweat, and tears . They trained hard every day .
Helen Pepe changed her sitting position, but the injured area in her hips still made her feel uncomfortable .
Her injury was a strain and, because of the inflammation, it caused physical discomfort . This kind of inflammation did not cause her substantial pain and had no real effect on her average day to day life . However, after playing in a high-intensity match, the strenuous physical activity made the injury more serious, and it would bring her unbearable pain .
Pepe knew that if she wanted to continue to play tennis, she must fix the strain on her hip . Even if it could not be eradicated, it had to recover to the point where it wouldn't affect her performance .
It was a pity that the well-known experts she had seen had been no help . The answers they gave were to rest and use conservative treatment methods . She would need to stop training and taking part in competitions . This was unacceptable to Pepe .
Do I really need to go to America to find that person? Pepe let out a long sigh . She knew very clearly that in her current situation, Dai Li may be the only person who could help her .
However, Pepe had some reservations about Dai Li . Beautiful players such as herself had always been the focus of media attention . The media were very happy to dig into her private life . No matter where she was, paparazzi would be all around trying to sneak in a few shots . She had to be very concerned about protecting her privacy . Dai Li saw Pepe's hip injury at the party after the Laureus Award, and that made her feel that her privacy had been invaded .

To continue playing, I need to go to America and find Coach Li . " Although Pepe was hesitant, she decided to go to Los Angeles .
. . .
Dai Li handed a document to Helen Pepe and said, "Miss Pepe, this is the rehabilitation program I specifically designed for you . It focuses on physiotherapy, supplemented by new some rehabilitation exercises . If you have any problems with it, you can tell me . I can modify it . If there are no problems, we will follow this plan . "
Pepe took the document and looked at it carefully . As she looked at it, her face expressed more and more doubt .
Later, Pepe looked at Dai Li skeptically and asked, "Coach Li, how many masseurs do you have here?"
"Most of our coaches here have mastered the technique of giving massages . They are all very good . But Miss Pepe, please rest assured, I will personally handle your rehabilitative message to ensure the best results," Dai Li said .

You personally giving me rehabilitative massages is what I am worried about, Pepe internally complained . Naturally, she wouldn't say this out loud . Her tone changed and she asked, "Coach Li . This rehabilitation program, aren't there too many massages?"
Dai Li glimpsed at the plan and immediately understood what Pepe was thinking about .
Pepe was injured in the hip area, so Dai Li had to massage around that region . Naturally, this area was an area where women were concerned with their privacy . It wasn't an area that people could just touch .
Although it was for medical purposes, it was easy to misunderstand if a middle-aged man like Dai Li massaged the hip of a beautiful woman . Touching the butt of a beautiful woman might please Dai Li, but Pepe didn't want him to . Pepe's subconscious felt that Dai Li was deliberately using her injury as a way to take advantage of her .
If she were a slightly uglier athlete, she might not think this way . However, Pepe was a beautiful woman . Many men harassed her . There were also many people who would want to use opportunities to take advantage of her . Therefore, she had become a little more defensive . When she saw that Dai Li's training program contained massages, she had labeled Dai Li a "pervert . "
Dai Li felt that he was being treated unfairly .

Amongst the rehabilitation programs he listed, there were many other physiotherapy and exercises besides massages, but massages were the main component . Dai Li relied not on physical therapy and rehabilitative exercises, but on his rehabilitation massaging skills . Dai Li was able to guarantee that Helen Pepe's hip injury would be fixed because he was so confident in his rehabilitation massaging skills .
In other words, if there were no rehabilitation massages Dai Li wouldn't be able to fix Pepe's hip injury . The more frequent the rehabilitation massages, the faster Pepe's hip injury would recover . Therefore, Dai Li added more massages to the rehabilitation program, but he had not expected Pepe to misunderstand this .
She can't be thinking that I am deliberately trying to take advantage of her? She must think of me as a pervert! Dai Li was upset, but he realized that when thought about Pepe's supermodel body, he felt a little excited . He even looked forward to seeing Pepe's hips .
What am I thinking? How can I have such dirty thoughts? I am a coach . I have to have the professional ethics of a coach . I have to be pure . Dai Li bit his tongue to clear his mind . He then opened his mouth and said, "Miss Pepe, it is okay if you want to reduce the massages, but I must inform you in advance that the effect of the rehabilitation may be reduced . "
Although Dai Li appeared to be very professional, Pepe was unconvinced . He had the appearance of a modest gentleman, but the beast in him was thinking about how to get into bed with her . She had seen this many times . Pepe took it for granted that Dai Li was deliberately trying to find ways to act out his perverted nature .
"Okay, I understand . Please reduce the frequency of the massages . I think the daily massages should be kept to 20 minutes . " Pepe's tone seemed a bit stiff, as if she was warning Dai Li not to have any funny thoughts .
Dai Li understood . He could only smile bitterly and shake his head .
It seems like I have really become a pervert!Please download our sponsor's game to support us!
