Chapter 287: Chapter 294: Catching Red-HandedUpon arriving at the company, the moment James Brown showed up, numerous people immediately surrounded him, all eagerly inquiring about what had happened. "There’s no big issue, the Public Security Bureau just made an error, linking me to a case by mistake, but now they know I’m innocent, so I’m back." James Brown didn’t talk about what had really happened, and such an explanation was also easier for everyone to accept, and even so, they all sent their blessings. After all, being taken away by the Public Security Bureau and returning safely was something worth celebrating. Returning to his office, there was a steady stream of colleagues coming to visit him, which touched James Brown’s heart. Whether it was genuine concern or pretense, at least they had shown care on the surface. What gave James Brown a headache, though, was that everyone joked that despite the trouble he had gone through, he had captured Sarah Utah’s heart and gained a huge advantage. The company’s three great beauties—Gina Lopez, Sunny Nguyen, Sarah Utah—with Sarah being the most down-to-earth, male colleagues in the company loved to flock around her. Now that Sarah was taken, it left many of them quite disappointed. As they joked with James Brown, it was hard to ignore the hint of envy in the voices of many male colleagues. Finally, after sending everyone away, it was noon. After having lunch in the company canteen, James Brown was thinking of resting in the office when his phone rang. "Director Green, is something the matter?" James Brown asked solemnly. "Come to my office, I need to see you," Sunny Nguyen’s tone was very formal. James Brown responded affirmatively, hung up the phone, excused himself to the two colleagues nearby, and went to Sunny Nguyen’s office on the fifth floor. As soon as he entered, James Brown locked the door from the inside. Sunny Nguyen calling him over at this time meant it wasn’t for work; she must have wanted to see him. When dealing with other women, James Brown always felt conflicted, but when he was with Sunny Nguyen, he felt relaxed. Perhaps it was because there were no emotional strings attached when they were together. At this moment, Sunny was sitting on the office couch. As James Brown locked the door, she said with a stern face, "What’s the deal with you locking the door as you come in?" James Brown directly sat down next to Sunny, extended his arm to wrap around her shoulder, leaned in, and kissed her on the cheek, saying, "If I don’t lock the door, how could we be affectionate?" Sunny’s heart fluttered from James’ kiss. She nudged him with her elbow and complained, "You still mention it, we were almost caught by Sarah last time, and you dare to do this in the office." "It’s noon now; everyone’s resting. No one will come." At that moment, Sunny’s phone suddenly rang. She quickly grabbed the phone and answered, "Mr. Lopez, what’s up?" "Sister Sunny, you’re alright, aren’t you?" "Yes, I’m fine." "You really scared me. I knocked on your door for a long time without you opening, and then there were sounds of you shouting." Sunny’s face immediately showed embarrassment, "No, no, I’m fine, I was asleep and might have had a nightmare." "Oh, then I’ve interrupted you. I have something to discuss with you, can you open the door?" Sunny was about to refuse, the expression on her face darkening, but James Brown patted her bottom and chuckled, "Come on, stop pretending, go open the door." "Ah, James Brown... you guys..." Gina Lopez suddenly let out a shocked exclamation on the phone. Sunny gave James Brown a disgruntled look and reluctantly got up, hurriedly straightened her clothes, and then went to open the door. Gina Lopez walked in and immediately smelled the strong scent of hormones lingering in the office. She wasn’t familiar with this odor before, but after her faux pas with James Brown, she became quite aware of it as she had got his... stuff on her. Her face turned a bright red instantly, but she did not retreat. Instead, she casually closed the door and walked in. "Well, look at you two, so impatient," Gina tried to say seriously, but her face blushed even more as she spoke. Sunny Nguyen looked embarrassed and hurriedly said, "Gina, it won’t happen again in the future." Gina quickly replied, "That’s not what I meant. Sister Sunny, don’t get me wrong. Just... keep it down a bit. I could hear your moans in the corridor just now. Luckily, there was no one else out there, but it would have been awkward if someone had heard you." Sunny blushed even more at this and said, "Okay, I’ll be more quiet from now on." Gina turned to look at James Brown, who was nonchalantly smoking with his clothes in disarray, and hadn’t bothered to tidy up. She gave him a disapproving look and said, "Can’t you pay more attention to your appearance? This is a company after all. I won’t lecture you about what happened with Sunny, but at least straighten up your clothes. What would it look like if others saw you?" James blew out a smoke ring and chuckled, "Men are generally very tired after doing such things. Normally, they should go to sleep, but since I can’t sleep, I need to rest a bit, right?" Gina spat in disgust at James, "You’re such a rogue." She couldn’t help but recall the day when she had slept with James, and how tired he seemed before dozing off shortly afterward. seaʀᴄh thё Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. By this time, Sunny had regained her composure and cheerfully said, "Gina, you really need to keep a tight leash on this guy, or he won’t maintain any decorum." Gina’s face turned red, and she retorted, "You should be the one to manage him." "I can’t manage him - I don’t want to be his wife. You’re the one who wants to be a wife, so it’s up to you to control him," Sunny teased. James felt a strange sensation watching the two women joking around with each other, especially after what had just happened between him and Sunny, and now Gina not even getting angry but taking part in the teasing. What kind of rhythm was this? Even as the former number two of Hawk Squad, James was still at a loss to understand what the two women were actually thinking. "By the way, Gina, did you need me for something?" Sunny pulled Gina over to sit down on the couch. Gina glanced at James again. She had wanted to talk to Sunny about the benefits discussion she had with James earlier, but now with James present, she obviously couldn’t bring it up. Moreover, the scent in the room was making her somewhat uncomfortable, and her mind kept flashing back to James and Sunny’s intimacy. "Sister Sunny, he’s sitting in that chair. You guys didn’t do it... on the chair, did you?" Gina couldn’t help blurting out. Sunny was taken aback; she hadn’t expected Gina to ask such a question and was too embarrassed to know what to say. Meanwhile, James casually replied, "Yeah, it’s indeed quite the experience on the chair." "You rogue!" Gina spat again, her face a deep red. She was still a virgin yet here she was, asking such a bold question. She couldn’t even believe she’d said it. "Look at you, talking nonsense! You were the one who asked, and when I answered, you curse at me. Women are just so unreasonable," James teased. All Gina could do was tough it out and say, "I was asking Sister Sunny, not you. Why are you chipping in with your comments?" "Fine, fine, I won’t say anything. Is it okay if I go now?" James stood up, snuffed out his cigarette, straightened his clothes, and shambled out of Sunny’s office. Once James left, Sunny gave Gina a curious look. Feeling uneasy under her gaze, Gina asked, "Sister Sunny, why are you staring at me like that?" With a slight chuckle and a wink, Sunny teased, "Tell me, Gina, have you and James... you know, done that already?" "No! Absolutely not!" Gina vehemently denied. Sunny laughed and wrapped an arm around Gina’s shoulder, "Don’t lie to me. You’re able to ask about how we were intimate, even in front of James. If you hadn’t done that before, could you really ask such a question? Plus, you didn’t even flinch when you saw James’s disheveled clothes. If you’re saying there’s nothing between you two, I won’t believe it."
