Chapter 374: Chapter 381: The Majestic Mr. SmithJames Brown had been rubbing against Gina Lopez for quite a while just now, so it was natural for his body to have some reaction; when a woman is aroused, she secretes fluid to facilitate the man’s entry, and when a man is aroused, that area also secretes fluid, which is a law of nature, an immutable part of human reproduction. That’s normal in bed, but in this situation, James Brown was a bit worse off. With the summer heat, his pants were naturally thin, and the little bit of secretion that had come out not only went through his underwear but also dampened a small spot on the front of his pants. If anyone noticed that, he wouldn’t be able to show his face. He quickly pulled Emily Lopez to a less crowded spot and plunked down onto a chair. Fortunately, today’s attention was on the celebrities, so no one noticed him, letting James Brown heave a sigh of relief. Emily Lopez sat next to James Brown, first she squinted and snickered stealthily, then she covered her mouth, laughing uncontrollably. At this moment, James Brown truly wished he could crawl into a hole. If it were someone else, it would be alright, but Emily Lopez was his sister-in-law. Having such an incident occur, he felt too ashamed to even sit next to Emily Lopez. Emily Lopez noticed the embarrassment on James Brown’s face and quickly stopped laughing, apologizing, "Brother-in-law, don’t be angry, I didn’t mean to laugh at you." James Brown gave a wry smile and said, "You don’t need to comfort me. If you don’t believe me, just look in the mirror yourself." seaʀᴄh thё NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Emily Lopez knew her face was definitely filled with smiles and she couldn’t help but laugh. She grabbed James Brown’s arm and gently shook it, saying softly, "Brother-in-law, although I laughed, I wasn’t blaming you. It’s your natural reaction, right? I look exactly like my sister, so holding me, you naturally think of her. You two are newlyweds right now, of course, you might let your thoughts wander. Besides, you usually touch my feet and stuff, and I quite like it. Such things are normal, aren’t they?" Normal... James Brown felt that this was anything but normal. However, Emily Lopez speaking so did make it a bit less embarrassing for him. He took out a cigarette, and Emily Lopez snatched the lighter, eagerly lighting it for him, acting all eager to please as if she was genuinely afraid of James Brown getting angry. After taking a couple of puffs of his cigarette, James Brown finally calmed himself down and felt much more at ease. Just then, music began to play, and Emily Lopez winked at James Brown, saying, "Brother-in-law, shall we go dance again?" James Brown hurriedly replied, "No dancing, absolutely no more dancing." "Relax, I’ll keep my distance this time." Emily Lopez chuckled again, but her smile was undeniably flirtatious. James Brown still resolutely shook his head, "No, no, just don’t make me embarrass myself out there anymore." Emily Lopez glanced at James Brown’s pants, where the wet spot was still quite evident. If someone saw that, it would indeed be indecent, so she then said, "Well then, let’s just sit here. Oh, do you want something to eat? I’ll go get something for you." At this point, James Brown couldn’t wait to send Emily Lopez away and quickly said, "Just get anything." Emily Lopez giggled, stood up to get something, but suddenly stopped in her tracks, nervously looking over her clothes a few times, then somewhat uncertainly said to James Brown, "Brother-in-law, can you check for me, do I have...?" James Brown’s face darkened, but he still carefully examined the clothing below Emily Lopez’s belly. If Emily Lopez was also wet, it would be even more embarrassing for him, but fortunately, there was no issue. He quickly replied, "No problem, it’s not wet there." "Then off I go." Emily Lopez playfully winked at James Brown again, called over two colleagues, and went to the buffet to get some food. James Brown shook his head. He really didn’t know what to do with this Emily Lopez, his sister-in-law who would tease him every now and then, and rather excessively at that, and who never got mad. He worried that if this continued, he might one day lose control and do something to Emily Lopez. "Mr. Smith!" A voice rang out beside him, sounding surprised, and then two women, carrying a breeze of perfume, approached James Brown. "Oh, it’s you!" The newcomers were Laura Hog and Alice Brown, both showing excited and eager expressions. James Brown greeted them and moved his chair slightly forward, so his legs could be completely hidden under the table, avoiding any chance of his earlier embarrassment being noticed. "Mr. Smith, why are you sitting here by yourself?" Alice Brown looked at James Brown with affectionate eyes. "I came with Emily, Mr. Lopez’s sister." Alice Brown and Laura Hog were representatives of Passion, and they were also very familiar with Gina Lopez, so James Brown couldn’t pretend to be Emily Lopez’s boyfriend. "Would you mind if we keep you company here?" Laura Hog winked at James Brown. She had fewer interactions with James Brown but was bolder than Alice Brown. James Brown felt that having these two women’s company would make Emily Lopez pay more attention to her own behavior, preventing further embarrassment for him, and so he said with a smile, "Sure, but here I’m just Emily’s stand-in boyfriend, I’m not any Mr. Smith. Just call me by my name." Alice Brown and Laura Hog immediately pulled up chairs and sat next to James Brown, while James immediately said with a wry smile, "Do you two really need to sit so close to me? If others see us, they’ll definitely get the wrong idea." Alice and Laura both wore an embarrassed look but just smiled at James and moved their chairs a tiny bit further away. "James..." Alice almost called him as Mr. Smith, hurriedly corrected herself, and then gave James an apologetic smile, saying, "Have you been very busy lately?" James smiled and said, "It’s been alright." Laura pouted and said, "Then why have you never called me? I thought you were really busy." Alice also said with a look of quiet resentment, "Exactly, I’ve been hoping every day that you’d call me. Every time the phone rings, I’d think it’s you, but it’s always been such a disappointment." James was left speechless, just after Emily Lopez left, Alice and Laura started with this number, really wearing him out. But it was not so troublesome for him to deal with Alice and Laura, and he said with a smile, "You two big hosts are so busy, if I called you, I’d be afraid of disturbing your work." Laura said grievously, "Oh, come on, what kind of work do we have? Besides, no matter how busy we are, if you, James, just give us a call, we’d rush over right away." James laughed and said, "Alright, since you both said that, if I’m free, I’ll give you a call to hang out together." Alice grabbed James’ arm and gently shook it, saying, "You’ve promised this time, you can’t just tease us again. The last few times you said you’d call and you never did." "Okay, okay, I definitely won’t trick you this time," James agreed readily, although the two seemed a bit opportunistic, they still had their charms, especially when Alice firmly refused Christopher Taylor last time, which made James see them in a new light, and he didn’t dislike them. There was nothing untoward happening with them, but as friends, that was definitely not a problem. Just then, the dance music started up again, and Alice immediately said, "James, may I have the honor of a dance?" After chatting for a while, Alice had become very natural, even dropping the surname in her address. James couldn’t possibly agree and quickly said, "I’m feeling a bit unwell today, so I won’t dance." Laura immediately protested, "You just said you wouldn’t deceive us, and now you’re tricking us again. You’re clearly fine, where do you feel unwell?" Of course, James couldn’t reveal his predicament and apologetically said, "I really don’t feel like dancing today, but if you two want to chat with me, I have absolutely no objections." Seeing that James was so determined and did not oppose their company for a chat, they knew better than to pressure him any further. "Laura, what are you doing here?" A man came over with a frown. Laura immediately looked at James with an awkward expression and said, "James, this is Director John Smith." Alice also chimed in, "Director Jackson took a fancy to Laura, wanting her to join his film crew as the third female lead." Clearly, she was helping Laura explain the identity of John Smith. John Smith had not paid much attention to James Brown at first because he knew all the celebrities here, and seeing as James was so unfamiliar to him and also sitting with the teachers from the art school, he naturally assumed James was just a teacher there. Even if Alice Brown and Laura Hog were sitting with him, it was just acquaintance. But seeing that Laura and Alice were not rushing to please him but explaining the situation to this man first, John Smith felt that this man might not be so simple after all and extended his hand, saying, "I am John Smith." James shook John Smith’s hand and said, "James Brown." John Smith frowned slightly; even if it was an important personage, they would not remain seated while shaking hands with him; this was practically a form of disrespect. However, in the eyes of Alice Brown and Laura Hog, it was a different story. Mr. Smith was just Mr. Smith; even with a director like John Smith who was quite famous domestically, Mr. Smith didn’t bother to stand up to shake hands with him. What’s called demeanor, this was truly a prime example of it, and when they looked at James, their eyes inevitably shone with an even more ardent light. Had it not been for such an occasion, both would have eagerly thrown themselves into his arms; even being with James for just one night would be without regrets. But only James knew why he truly couldn’t stand up at the moment.
