Chapter 565
That evening, Helen Pepe stood on the tennis court and practiced for an hour with the tennis ball machine .
For professional tennis players, training with the ball machine was low-intensity training . This kind of training was mainly to maintain their familiarity with the ball . Not playing with the ball for a long time would make them rusty .
In Pepe's current condition, even this kind of low-intensity training carried a certain risk . Once a problem arose it could just be muscle soreness, but if it were more severe it might disrupt some core functions of the muscles .
In the past, after Pepe's training, her wounds would make her somewhat uncomfortable . However, after one hour of training, Pepe did not feel any discomfort .
"In the past, after relatively high-intensity training, there would be a continuous pain in the hip area . If the intensity were light, I would feel sore . Now, I don't feel sore at all," Pepe said to herself .
The soreness was a very direct effect of her strain . Pepe's hip injury had been going on for many years so she had long been accustomed to sore muscles . Now that it wasn't there she was relaxed .
Pepe subconsciously reached out to press her hips, specifically on the area where the pain was usually stronger . She didn't expect that when she pushed down she wouldn't feel any pain .
Experiencing pain when pressing down on parts of the hip area was also one of the symptoms of muscle strain and this symptom had tortured Pepe for many years . At its most serious, Pepe couldn't even lay down because it brought her a lot of pain .
It doesn't hurt at all! Pepe couldn't believe it . She pressed down a few more times and only then did it hurt .
Is this the effect of today's massage? This is amazing! Pepe took a breath of cold air . She never could've dreamed of achieving such results .
Suddenly, Pepe realized that she was wrong about Dai Li . The reason Dai Li arranged a lot of massages in the rehabilitation program was really for her to recover quickly .
I've misunderstood him . He must think that I think of him as a pervert . I've really done something wrong this time!
. . .
James, the editor-in-chief of a well-known media company in Los Angeles, looked through some photos that were in his hands and he shook his head .
After a while, he finished looking through all the photos and threw them to a young man opposite of him . Then he said, "Peter, these photos are all rubbish . They are not worth a single penny . I don't want a single one . "
"Garbage? How come? These are all photos of Helen Pepe . She has so many fans . Her photos have always been the most popular . I followed her for a long time to get these photos," said the young man named Peter .
"Helen Pepe's photos are really popular, but there are no highlights in these photos . Look at the garbage you took . This is Pepe going to the parking lot and getting in her car . It is so regular . Do you think our audience will pay attention to pictures this bland?"
As James spoke, he picked up a few other photos . "These photos . Pepe walking out of a hotel . She is not an American . She has no real estate in Los Angeles . Of course, she would stay in a hotel . Where else would she sleep? On the streets? What is the point of these photos? Do you think this can be published in the newspaper? This is Los Angeles . Anyone can see a star if they sit outside a five-star hotel . Why is it strange for Pepe to stay at a hotel?
"What I want are not photos of her daily life . What I need are photos that have a point . It should be what the readers want to see . " James pointed at the photo, and then went on to say, "Even a few photos of Pepe at a nightclub would be better than this rubbish!"
"But the photos I took are very clear, the choice of angle, the choice of light, and . . . "
As Peter was explaining, he was interrupted by James before he could finish speaking .
"Okay, Peter . Do you really think that you are some artsy photographer? Angle and light choice? Hehehe . . . " James laughed mockingly and said, "Okay, to put it kindly, you are a freelance photographer . To put it bluntly, you're paparazzi! Paparazzi need to do what paparazzi need to do . You should take paparazzi photos instead of worrying about angles and lighting!"
When James finished speaking, he pointed his finger at the door and said, "Well, Peter, I don't have time to talk about ideals and life here . I still have a lot of work to do . If you keep bringing me this kind of garbage, I won't see you again . "
. . .
Peter was walking down the road, frustrated . He had been humiliated by James .
He also knew that what James said was true . He was not a photographer . He could only be regarded as paparazzi .
Being a photographer was Peter's dream, but his dreams weren't able to feed him . The photos that he took were worthless in the eyes of others .
James is right, I am just paparazzi . I should do what the paparazzi do .
Peter took a deep breath and he recalled Helen Pepe's recent activities .
Helen Pepe has been going to a physical training center . If I can take some pictures of her while she's training, I should be able to sell it for some money .
That is a very upscale training center . If I am not a member, I won't be able to get in . I can't become a member with my income . If I want to get into that training center, I have to think of another way .
. . .
Peter pushed a cleaning trolly and secretly looked around the room .
He had disguised himself as cleaning staff to sneak into Dai Li's physical training center .
Labor cost a lot in America . To hire a regular employee, a company would need to pay for the employee's various insurances in addition to paying their salary . Therefore, Dai Li did not hire a cleaning staff but instead paid a cleaning company to take care of the cleaning and sanitation of the training center . He saved a lot of money doing this .
It was for this reason that Peter was able to disguise himself as cleaning staff and sneak into the training center . The cleaning company did not send the same person every day . Even if he was unfamiliar, no one would suspect him .
This training center is really big . I wonder where Helen Pepe is, Peter pondered as he looked around him .
From time to time, there were one or two familiar faces that Peter saw . They were well-known athletes .

Peter had a strong urge to take out his camera that was hidden in the cleaning trolly and take a few photos of these famous athletes, but the rational part of Peter told him that he should not do that . The purpose of his trip was Helen Pepe . Helen Pepe's photos were much more valuable than those athletes .
Peter was finally nearby the massage room .
A massage room? The door is closed . There should be no one inside . Peter walked straight into the massage room with his cleaning trolly .
At that very moment, he heard a woman moaning .
"Hmm . . . ah . . . "
When he heard this sound, Peter immediately stopped walking .
. . .
Helen Pepe moaned again in the massage room .
Dai Li felt awkward and he couldn't help but stop the massage .
Pepe was enjoying the comfort brought by the rehabilitation massage . When Dai Li stopped, Pepe subconsciously said, "Coach Li, don't stop . "
Dai Li was helpless . He then said, "Miss Pepe, can you not make such sounds? It may be heard by others . "
Once Dai Li said this, Pepe realized that the moans that she made were indeed indecent .
"Sorry . It was just that the touch was just right and it was just too comfortable . I couldn't hold back . ," Pepe looked back at Dai Li with an unsatisfied look in her eyes . She then said, "Coach Li, can we continue?"
"Okay . " Dai Li went back work .
After only twenty seconds, Pepe couldn't help but moan out in comfort again .
. . .
Outside the door, Peter heard the strange sound from the room and immediately stopped walking .
Why is there a female moaning? Is someone doing something dirty inside?
Peter's curiosity suddenly grew . He wanted to push the door open to see who was inside, but he also knew that he was here in secret . He had entered without permission . If he was discovered, he would be in trouble with the law . He could not be discovered by others .
Peter suppressed his curiosity and waited quietly outside the door to eavesdrop . Although he couldn't take pictures, he made sure that he hit his phone's record button .

The woman's voice could be heard again .
"Coach Li . Don't stop . "
Peter suddenly realized what was going on . Just what I thought . A dirty smile crept across his face .
The people inside are doing something that can't be described . They are quite brave to do such things in a place like this in broad daylight . This woman said 'Coach Li,' who I remember is the owner of the training center .
She must be with the owner of the center . Only the boss would dare do such unscrupulous things here . I wonder who that woman is . Is it a female secretary? It is normal for the boss to do such things with a secretary . An affair between the Best Coach Award winner and his secretary . If this kind of news spreads, I wonder if anyone would pay attention .
At this moment, several ideas popped into Peter's head .
Another sound came from the room .
"Miss Pepe, can you not make such sounds? Others might hear . "
Miss Pepe . Peter was shocked .
The man just said 'Pepe . ' Is it possible that the woman inside is Helen Pepe? My God! Helen Pepe and that Coach Li are doing something shameful!
Peter also felt sadness and jealousy . It was as if the goddess he admired had been tarnished .
"Sorry . It was just that the touch was just right and it was just too comfortable . I couldn't hold back . "
"Coach Li, can we continue?"
Pepe made a moaning sound again .
The touch was just right? Comfortable? Continue?" Peter, who was outside the door, heard these words . After a while, Pepe's moan could be heard coming from the room again .
Big news, super big news! Gossip about Helen Pepe . I have the recordings too . This is worth more than a few photos of her training! I am going to make a fortune!" Peter smiled excitedly . At this moment his dream of being a photographer had been completely forgotten .
. . .
A few days later, Peter appeared again in James's office .
"Peter, what kind of photos have you brought this time . Don't tell me they are the same as last time . This is not a garbage disposal center, we do not take in garbage . " James did not raise his head when he was speaking to Peter . He didn't show the slightest respect .

Seeing how James acted made Peter very angry . He became even more determined to knock James down a peg or two .
"I didn't bring any photos this time," Peter said .
"No photos?" James lifted up his head when he heard this answer . He looked at Peter and asked, "If you don't have any photos, why are you here?"
"I brought a recording . " Peter had a very smug look on his face . It told James that the recording was something very valuable .
However, James grinned disdainfully . "I don't sell audiobooks here . Why would I want a recording!"
"This is a recording of Helen Pepe," Peter said .
"So what? Helen Pepe does hundreds of interviews every year . There are various kinds of interviews . She also records short videos from time to time to post on Twitter . Why would I want your recording? Unless you recorded the sounds Helen Pepe makes in bed, which I could sell it to those who like her . That way they can get more excited when they masturbate!" James raged . His last sentence was certainly not true . He didn't actually want to sell recordings . He was ridiculing Peter's incompetence .
Peter then said, "Mr . James, you guessed right this time . I've really recorded the sounds of Helen Pepe in bed!"
"What did you say? Have you gone crazy!" James exclaimed .
Peter calmly and steadily took out his phone . He found a piece of audio and began to play it .
"Hmm . . . ah . . . "
"Coach Li, don't stop . "
"The touch was just right and it was just too comfortable . I couldn't hold back . "
"Hmm . . . ah . . . "
Peter had edited the original audio recording . He intentionally made it so that it was vague . He only left in the critical parts for James to hear .
"Oh my god! This . . . this…" After James finished listening to it he did not know what to say .
Peter was very satisfied with the expression on James' face . He said, "Mr . James, this is just a part of the recording if you want the full recording . . . "
"I want this recording . Name a price!" James interrupted Peter before he could finish talking . Peter was somewhat unprepared to go straight to talking about money .
. . .
The next day, the media published a piece of news with this headline .
