Chapter 116: Chapter 116: Stay BehindJames Brown pulled John Stephens aside, and John Stephens said with some nervousness, "How much do you need? If it’s too much, I’ll have to wait until after the wedding to pay you." John Stephens wasn’t wealthy. His parents had managed his wedding, and with the cost of buying and decorating a house, their savings were nearly all spent. This unexpected expense for the emcee definitely hadn’t been budgeted for, but luckily, they had received plenty of red envelopes at the wedding, which they’d have to use now. This money was originally intended for their honeymoon, but it looked like the honeymoon trip was going to be put on hold. However, to have secured two celebrity hosts was worth it. James Brown patted John Stephens on the shoulder, saying, "You don’t need to pay." "What?" John Stephens gasped with widened eyes, shouting in disbelief. James Brown smiled and said, "I mean you don’t have to give them red envelopes." "How can that be okay? How can that be okay?" John Stephens shook his head vehemently, refusing to believe that they could have two celebrity hosts and not pay a dime. James Brown explained, "They did it out of respect for my boss, it’s not about the money. If they took the money, it would actually be disrespecting my boss instead. So, you don’t have to worry." John Stephens was dumbfounded with joy. He slapped James Brown’s shoulder hard and said excitedly, "James... this... this favor is enormous, you’re far too kind." "Come on, what are friends for, right? We’re old classmates, after all." "Yes, we’re old classmates." John Stephens suddenly felt that this bond of old classmates was more important than any other. Someone came over to call for John Stephens. As the groom, he had lots to do, going from table to table for toasts was indispensable. Therefore, he could no longer stay with his old classmates. After excusing himself, he walked forward, whispering something to his wife. And during that moment, John Stephens’s wife, Jessica Thompson, turned to look at James Brown, her face brimming with excitement and joy. James Brown returned to his classmates. Everyone had taken their seats, with ten people per table, and they were all excitedly discussing the wedding ceremony. "Amy, have Alice Brown and Jennifer Hog left yet?" James Brown was looking for a place to sit when Amy Smith waved at him. There was a spot next to her, apparently reserved for him. James Brown sat down and laughed, "Not yet." "Then why don’t you invite them to have dinner with us?" Amy Smith winked at James Brown, her face full of hope. Another female classmate immediately said, "I doubt that’ll happen. They’ve already done us a great honor by hosting. They won’t come over for this meal." James Johnson also chimed in, "Definitely not, they don’t need this meal. For someone like them, being invited to eat is already granting favor. Plus, the place they’ll dine is certainly more elegant and quiet, unlike this noisy spot." Everyone felt James Johnson’s point was valid, and they weren’t getting their hopes up. However, the sound of high heels clicking on the floor announced the arrival of two beauties into the class’ small hall. Everyone saw Alice Brown and Jennifer Hog, the two beautiful hosts, and were so surprised they were speechless, wondering if these gorgeous celebrities were actually going to join them for a meal. "Ladies and gentlemen, would you mind if we take two extra seats here?" Alice Brown said with a smiling face. The group erupted into agreement, everyone standing to make room, creating quite a lively scene. Jennifer Hog immediately added, "Don’t be too formal, we’ll just grab a quick bite. Just add two seats." Saying that, both women surprisingly took two plastic stools and sat down on either side of James Brown. James Brown couldn’t help but smile bitterly, but at that moment, he couldn’t very well ask them to leave and could only laugh, "Having two beautiful hosts by my side, that’s just asking for others to envy me." Alice Brown giggled and responded, "Not at all. We only know you here. Aren’t you responsible for hosting us a bit?" That seemed reasonable enough. While everyone knew these two beautiful hosts, they didn’t know the others. So it was normal for them to sit with James Brown. But still ... having one on each side of James Brown seemed particularly flashy. David Johnson and Amy Smith, who were originally sitting next to James Brown, shifted over to make room. With twelve people at the table, it became a bit crowded, but no one left for another table. Having the privilege of dining with the two beautiful hosts was very prestigious, and they were already pulling out their phones to take photos. For Alice Brown and Jennifer Hog, such attention was nothing new. James Brown, however, was feeling rather awkward. He couldn’t help but be captured in the photos along with the two hosts. He truly wanted to escape, but escape was impossible. Although Alice Brown and Jennifer Hog didn’t show any particular attention to James Brown in this setting, their mere presence was enough to draw all eyes. The occasional smile at James Brown stirred envious, jealous, and resentful gazes from many of his classmates. "Thud," Alice Brown’s little purse fell to the ground, landing right beside James Brown’s feet. Alice immediately bent down to pick it up. But the two were very close, and since she couldn’t crawl under the table to retrieve it, she had to lean over James Brown’s legs, stretching out her hand to pick it up from the floor. This movement was quite normal, but when Alice was picking up her purse, it seemed her arm wasn’t long enough. Her whole body was now lying across James Brown’s legs, her full bosom pressing down on his thighs, that soft and bouncy sensation clearly revealing that Alice, indeed, was a stunner.

James Brown knew that Alice was doing this on purpose, but he couldn’t very well not let her pick up her things, could he? Moreover, to stir up such a little flirtation under the watchful eyes of everyone was truly exhilarating, making James Brown barely resist the urge to caress Alice’s body. However, James Brown managed to restrain himself, only leaning his body back a bit to give her room to pick up her belongings. Finally, Alice picked up her purse and, sitting up, chided James Brown, "You didn’t even help me pick it up." James Brown quickly apologized, saying, "Yes, yes, my apologies for lacking manners." Alice giggled and said, "Indeed, you really lack manners. Your punishment is to peel a shrimp for me to eat." James Brown hurriedly picked out a shrimp, peeled one for Alice, and placed it on her plate, asking, "Is that better now?" "Much better," Alice triumphantly placed the shrimp into her mouth. This made all the classmates envious, thinking why couldn’t they be in James Brown’s place? Even just attending to these two beauties would be a very happy affair indeed. "Thud," another purse fell to the ground. This time it was not Alice’s, but Jennifer Hog’s. It also landed between her and James Brown’s feet. This time, before Jennifer could pick it up, James Brown had already proactively bent down to get it. But as he actually went to pick it up, he found that to reach the purse, he had to lean close towards Jennifer, of course, not like how Alice had laid on his legs, but rather hovering over, reaching for the purse. Yet Jennifer’s leg subtly lifted, brushing against James Brown’s face. It was already well into April, the weather quite warm. Jennifer was wearing a short skirt and flesh-colored shiny stockings. The feeling of stockings against his face was indescribably smooth, and from James Brown’s angle, his view was right between Jennifer’s legs. Of course, James couldn’t see the actual scenery between her legs, but it was precisely because nothing could be seen that one’s imagination was piqued even more, evoking a desire to uncover the truth. A woman’s power to arouse a man’s desire isn’t only when she’s undressed; when dressed in a way that prompts a man’s fantasies, that’s absolutely the most thrilling. Jennifer clearly played this card very well, making James Brown itch with curiosity. He now had an evil impulse to lift her skirt and have a closer look. Standing back up, James Brown handed the purse to Jennifer, who laughed lightly and said, "Mr. Brown went to the trouble of picking up my purse for me, so I should peel a shrimp for Mr. Brown to eat, shouldn’t I?" Jennifer said it, and did it, indeed peeling a shrimp. She then winked at James Brown and said, "Open your mouth, won’t you?" James Brown instantly widened his eyes and protested, "Isn’t that unnecessary?" "Of course, it’s necessary. Would you heartlessly refuse a lady?" James Brown chuckled dryly, and amid the envious looks of others, he opened his mouth. Jennifer placed a peeled shrimp into James’s mouth with her delicate fingers, and as she released the shrimp, she lightly grazed his lips without leaving a trace. "These two are simply enchantresses," James Brown praised inwardly. Having such women together in bed would undoubtedly drive any man to madness. John Stephens came over to toast at this moment, excited that Alice and Jennifer had also stayed for the meal, expressing his gratitude to them with his wife. "Hehe, no need to thank us. Thank Mr. Brown," Alice pointed all the credit towards James Brown. John Stephens of course knew this and raised his glass to James, saying nothing, and downed the drink in one go. At that moment, no words were necessary, as everything was said in the toast. The classmates gathered for a meal on such a joyous occasion, accompanied by beauties like Alice and Jennifer; everyone ate to their hearts’ content, and everyone had quite a bit to drink. Even Alice and Jennifer joined in the merriment, drinking lively with everyone. Before they knew it, James discovered that both women were somewhat drunk.
