Chapter 249: Chapter 253 Live BroadcastJames Brown turned around and saw Gina Lopez, whose face looked extremely unpleasant as she stared at him. James put Alice Brown down and then turned to speak, "Why did you come here?" Gina Lopez took a deep breath and said, "Wow, James Brown, the hero saves the beauty and then climbs into her bed." Seeing that Gina had misunderstood, James initially wanted to explain, but then suddenly decided against it, saying sternly, "You know what’s going on, so why did you come here?" Gina was taken aback, staring at James, hardly able to believe that James could still be so righteous at this moment. "Just go back to sleep, don’t disturb me here." After saying that, James directly sat down on the bed. Gina could hold her liquor well, and although she was drunk today, she sobered up after a couple of hours. Still feeling groggy, but thinking about the many tasks at the office, she couldn’t rest easy here and decided to return to the office. She looked in the two neighboring rooms first; Melody Yoody and Sunny Nguyen were both deeply asleep. Gina didn’t disturb them; she only wanted to find James to accompany her back, but in the last room, she saw James and Alice hugging each other.

Initially, she thought James was taking advantage of the situation to do something unspeakable with Alice, and wanted to severely scold him, but seeing how calm James was, she suddenly felt something was off. James wasn’t the type to act rashly on desire, and since Alice’s clothes were intact and she was obviously asleep, James hadn’t done anything to her. It seemed he was clearly trying to provoke her. Once she understood this, Gina wasn’t angry anymore and took a seat on the sofa, elegantly said, "Then you two continue, I won’t disturb you." James widened his eyes and said, "Are you for real? You want to stay here and watch everything live?" "Yes, I haven’t seen it before, and I want to see it now. You can pretend I’m not here." "I’m telling you, I’m really going to undress." James pretended to start taking his clothes off. Gina scoffed, "Go ahead and strip. We’ve lived together for so long, and I bought most of your underwear. Am I supposed to be scared of you taking your clothes off?" James felt defeated by Gina, feeling that if this woman made her skin thick, she was definitely more formidable than any man. He could only helplessly smile and say, "Okay, okay, I’m not as thick-skinned as you, happy now?" Gina smiled proudly, "Go ahead and keep pretending, I don’t mind." James said irritably, "Hmm, I don’t have time to mess around with you. Just say what you want to do, you’re too disturbed to sleep even after drinking so much." Gina giggled, "I want to return to the office, come with me." "Sunny and Melody are still sleeping here." "Just let them rest here, what could possibly go wrong in such a huge hall?" "Alright, sigh, I wish I was also drunk, then I could rest a bit." James got up discontentedly and left the hall with the triumphant Gina. Seeing James going to drive, Gina quickly said, "Maybe you shouldn’t drive. You drank quite a bit today." "It’s okay, I sobered up a long time ago." "Really?" James grinned, "I did a lot of physical activity, the alcohol has already sweated out." "A lot of physical activity?" Gina was stunned for a moment but then spit at James, turning her face away blushing. She understood the implication of James’s words, but she thought he went to find Sunny, so she didn’t feel upset, just extremely embarrassed. This guy dared to say such things so righteously. "Disgusting, pervert," Gina muttered under her breath. Once James got into the car and Gina also sat down, he teased, "I’m a pervert, but someone seemed pretty comfortable that day." "You... you..." Gina was so embarrassed she almost wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground. It was a topic James had never brought up before after the incident that day, yet she had mentioned it to assert the nature of their relationship. She didn’t feel odd saying it herself, but once James mentioned it, she was overwhelmed, her face flushed, and she was at a loss for words. James Brown blinked his eyes and said, "Now that it’s just the two of us, shall we find a place where I can please you again?" "You jerk!" Gina Lopez finally managed to blurt out furiously after holding back for so long, then she turned her head away, refusing to look at James Brown anymore. "Ah, you women, you clearly enjoyed it so much at the time, but when you talk about it, you act as if you’ve been greatly insulted," James Brown shook his head, started the car, and chuckled to himself, thinking that for women like Gina Lopez, a bit of a ruffian approach is required to handle her; otherwise, you’re always at a disadvantage. "Shut up!" Gina Lopez practically roared at this point. "Fine, I’ll shut up. You did it, but you won’t let me talk about it, and there’s no one else here." "Ah! I’m going crazy!" Gina Lopez pulled her hair hard, her gaze scanning around the car to find something to grab and end this jerk, James Brown, once and for all. Feeling it was about enough, James Brown started to drive with a sneaky smile, deciding not to tease Gina Lopez anymore. What was done today was sufficient. Gina Lopez refused to talk to James Brown anymore. As soon as the car arrived at the company, she dashed out of the car, feeling that she couldn’t stay a minute longer with James Brown. James Brown didn’t get out of the car immediately. After this, he wondered whether Gina Lopez would still frequently say she wanted to be together with him, or if she had been scared off for good. Sitting in his office, James Brown wasn’t so smug anymore. He had no idea how to handle today’s situation, especially with Melody Yoody. He couldn’t deny that there had been real feelings between them in the past, and although some of the familiarity had lessened, and there was some estrangement, the affection between him and Melody Yoody remained indelible. The sexual encounter this time had uncontrollably unleashed the suppressed feelings he had for Melody Yoody. But what about Emma Campbell, with her gentle, adorable nature, always so accommodating to him? James Brown also liked her very much, always believing that Emma was truly the perfect life partner worth having by his side forever. How could he bear to hurt her? Unlike with Gina Lopez and Emily Lopez, where James Brown felt they were just a bit troublesome, and didn’t actually find it headache-inducing—it was like playing a game for him, the outcome didn’t matter. But with Melody Yoody and Emma Campbell, these were real challenges that James Brown faced. A knock on the door came, and James Brown responded. Sarah Utah entered the room, saw the smoke swirling about, and immediately went to open the windows, scolding, "Big Brother Brown, why are you smoking so much?" James Brown extinguished the cigarette butt and grinned, saying, "It’s nothing." Sarah Utah sat opposite James Brown, squinting at him and said, "Don’t lie to me. Although you smoke, I’ve never seen you chain-smoking like this before. You must be distressed about something. Can you share it with me so I can help analyze it?" James Brown hesitated for a moment, resting his hands on the desk, and said, "Sarah Utah, I’m indeed feeling quite troubled right now." "What exactly is the problem?" In Sarah Utah’s eyes, James Brown was someone who never let anything bother him. His current state clearly indicated a serious issue, "Is it something to do with emotional matters?" "How did you know?" James Brown was somewhat surprised. "I’ve never seen you troubled by other matters," Sarah Utah pursed her lips with a slight smile, feeling a bit proud of her accurate guess. James Brown rubbed his nose, feeling rather uncomfortable. As Sarah had said, even if he faced more challenging issues, he wouldn’t be as entangled as he was now, unlike before when he would casually go to bars, seeking the thrill of one-night stands. "Come on, I’ll help you analyze," Sarah Utah said with a smile, her eyes full of encouragement. Although she knew that James Brown’s emotional troubles didn’t include her, she was still happy that he was willing to share his issues with her, showing that he indeed considered her a close and trusted friend. James Brown then spoke, "I was actually in a confirmed relationship with Emma Campbell. She would come to my place every weekend... but we haven’t been intimate yet." Feeling that since he was seeking Sarah’s help for analysis, it was better to be detailed in his explanation. Sarah Utah was taken aback and said, "She comes to your place, and you guys haven’t..." She suddenly blushed, stopping mid-sentence, clearly embarrassed as a girl, especially one who had never engaged in such matters. "Yes, earlier she used to come just to help with housework, and I hadn’t fully decided to make her my girlfriend yet, so nothing happened between us. But recently due to some issues, we haven’t spent the weekends together. If this continues, something would surely happen... cough cough, I shouldn’t have mentioned this to you, but since you’re helping me analyze, please don’t mind." Sarah Utah pursed her lips with a smile, "I don’t mind, but Big Brother Brown, you’re really a good man. If it were any other man, with her taking the initiative to come over, wouldn’t they have..." James Brown chuckled dryly, "It would naturally have led to marriage between us, that’s what I thought. But then I encountered my high school sweetheart, and we got involved." "Ah!" Sarah Utah suddenly covered her mouth. James Brown rubbed his nose, saying, "I know I shouldn’t have done that, but she was very good to me back in high school. We were involved then, and when we met again, she was still good to me. However, I feel there’s now a big difference in our lifestyles, so trying to renew our former relationship wasn’t successful. Yet, she was the one who changed first, a mayor, changing for me, which is not easy. She didn’t disdain me for being just a junior employee. Now, with this happening, I really don’t know how to handle it." After finishing, James Brown stared at Sarah Utah, hoping that she could offer him some good advice.
