38: Chapter 37 Director 38: Chapter 37 Director Flight attendants are usually tall, and the one standing in front of me was no exception. At that moment, she was wearing black high heels, measuring over 1.7 meters tall. Flight attendants generally maintain good figures, and she was exceptionally attractive. Her uniform accentuated the beauty associated with flight attendants, elevating it several levels in people’s minds. Her face was round, with exquisite features proportionally arranged on her face. Maybe her eyes, her nose, and her mouth weren’t perfect on their own—her lips might even be considered a bit thick—but together, they made her incredibly attractive, and her slightly thick lips only added to her sexiness. However, this flight attendant was visibly on guard, stepping back and hiding behind her suitcase. James Brown lifted the groceries he was carrying and said, “I live here too, in the middle unit on the sixteenth floor. Sorry, I admit I was a bit mesmerized by such a beautiful flight attendant. Please don’t take it the wrong way.” Although beautiful, James immediately realized that this flight attendant wasn’t his type. Being so pretty yet continuing to work as a flight attendant suggested innocence, not someone frivolous. Realizing this, he could only look but not touch, and he felt more at ease speaking to her. “Ah? You live on the sixteenth floor too?” The flight attendant widened her eyes at James, still wary of him. James immediately smiled and said, “I heard someone next door yesterday. So it was you. Hello, neighbor, my name is James Brown.” “I… I didn’t say I live on the sixteenth floor. Are you spying on me?” She stepped back again, guarding her chest with her hands. James couldn’t help smiling and replied, “Did you just use the word ‘too’? Doesn’t that mean you live on the sixteenth floor too? I’ve never seen you in this building before, so that must mean you’re from the sixteenth floor, right?” “Oh…” The flight attendant seemed to relax a bit but still maintained a distance from James. James shook his head, picked up her suitcase, stepped up the stairs, and then set it down again, saying, “The inside is flat; you can pull it from here.” Then, he headed straight for the building. “Ah! Thank you!” It wasn’t until they were inside the elevator that James heard her thank him. However, he did not wait for her, since she was cautious around him, and he felt no need to bother her further. Just as James entered his apartment, his cell phone rang with a completely unknown number. Upon answering, he instantly recognized the voice of Sunny Nguyen and smiled, having met her earlier today. He knew she must be restless and would look for him tonight, though he hadn’t expected it so soon. “Miss Nguyen, yes, it’s me. Is there something you need?” “Um… S~eaʀᴄh the ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Do you have time today? I would like to talk to you.” “I was about to cook, maybe later?” “I invite you to dinner.” “Okay then,” he responded, intrigued. “Where?” “At H Park near N Street. I’ve already reserved a spot on the second floor of Magnolia Hall.” “Alright, I’ll be right there.” James tossed the groceries on the shoe rack and walked out. As the elevator doors opened, the flight attendant was struggling to pull her suitcase out. James smiled at her as he passed by and entered the elevator without further conversation. The flight attendant smiled back and seemed about to say something when the elevator doors closed. “Really? Not even offering to help, some neighbor,” the beautiful flight attendant mumbled under her breath as she hauled her suitcase toward her apartment, ignoring the caution she had shown towards James earlier. Twenty minutes later, James arrived at H Park, an understatedly elegant restaurant. Led by the waiter, he went straight to Magnolia Hall. Upon entering the room, he saw Sunny sitting on the sofa, her expression unnaturally tense as she greeted him and then asked the waiter to start serving the meal, leaving them alone in the room. “Miss Nguyen, for someone as important as you to invite me, a mere employee, out to dinner, I’m truly flattered,” James said cheerfully as he sat down at a table meant for ten, an evident extravagance for just two. Hearing this, Sunny felt a twinge inside. James had pointed out their difference in status, emphasizing she was a high-ranking director and he was just a lowly employee, which meant he was not afraid of those with more power. The harder to handle were those without much to lose, not those with connections, as they too had their reservations when acting. Although Sunny Nguyen had already speculated on all the possible reactions James Brown might have before he arrived, the way he reacted was within her expectations. However, when she actually faced him, she still felt nervous, since he had something on her. She managed to muster a smile, Sunny said, “I’m pretty much like you, just someone working for others.” “Come on, Miss Nguyen, don’t joke about it. You are the director, powerful and influential, earning a lot, and you have so many people trying to please you in the office. It’s not like me, a complete newcomer who everyone can step on.” Sunny quickly replied, “If you encounter any difficulty at work, you can come to me, I will certainly do my best to help you.” “How could I? You take such care of me; wouldn’t that make people think there’s something between us?” James said while giving Sunny a wink. Sunny was instantly thrown into disarray, knowing that her connection with James was a weak point. If others knew about her relationship with James, she would no longer have the face to work at the company. At this moment, the waiter knocked and came in, and the dishes arrived like flowing water. In a short while, six dishes were presented and the red wine was poured for the two, before the staff cleared out. While this was happening, Sunny also composed herself from the nervousness she had felt upon seeing James, smiled and said, “Please go ahead, I don’t know if the dishes are to your taste. If not, we can order others.” “No need, there’s too much for just the two of us,” James had been very relaxed since he arrived, as if there was never any issue between him and Sunny, and he did not show the usual respect seen in front of a leader. This was exactly what made Sunny feel hard-pressed. Watching James eating and drinking leisurely while she could hardly swallow anything, merely nibbling symbolically. When James was almost done eating, she looked at him slowly and said, “You should know why I called you here, right?” “I do,” James wiped his mouth. “Mr. Lopez has taken a liking to me. He wants to keep me.” Sunny immediately frowned. If it were anyone else, she would have turned hostile the moment such frivolous words were spoken, but facing James, she felt totally unable to lose her temper. “Mr. Brown, don’t be angry, I’m just joking. I know you’re worried about what happened between us that night. I won’t speak about it,” James said as he pulled out a cigarette and lit it. He wasn’t a frequent smoker, but he liked to indulge occasionally. Sunny took a deep breath and said, “Exactly, that’s what I meant. Tell me your demands. I will fulfill them as best as I can, but I must also tell you that although I am a director and I used to work at the headquarters, I have just bought a house last year, and I really don’t have any savings, so I hope you won’t drive too hard a bargain.” James took a satisfying drag from his cigarette and looked at Sunny with a smile, “Miss Nguyen, are you starting to plead poverty?” “Indeed, I am trying to seal your lips, but my means are quite limited. If your demands are too harsh, I truly wouldn’t be able to agree. Worst case, I would just quit this job and start over at another company, and switching jobs wouldn’t be too difficult with my skills.” Seeing Sunny negotiating in this manner, crying poor and making threats, James found it quite amusing. Usually, after a one-night stand, women would cling, but this time, he had encountered someone who was afraid of him clinging, and yet stood to gain much from it. “Say it, what are your demands?” Sunny spoke, devoid of a solid footing but tried to appear very composed as she asked. James looked at Sunny, shook his head and said, “Sorry, I don’t want your money.” Sunny’s face changed at once, the shameless were the hardest to deal with, and in fact, she would have preferred if James had asked for money. “Then what do you want?” Sunny asked in as calm a voice as she could manage. James suddenly stood up, walked straight over to Sunny, leaned over, and looked down at her as her body leaned slightly backward, looking up at James. This posture made her very uncomfortable, feeling oppressed by James, making her feel passive. She wanted to stand up but didn’t want to come into contact with James, so she had no choice but to maintain her current posture. James sniffed lightly, coating his actions with a certain lewdness, smiled and said, “Miss Nguyen, actually, I want to tell you, you really are very charming. I’ve been reminiscing about that crazy night a lot in these past few days.” Sunny’s face flushed red. She too had been reminiscing, but upon seeing James again, she no longer had the mood to reminisce. She clenched her fist and said with a stiff face, “I want you to forget about that night. Just state your conditions.” James chuckled and said, “Alright, I’ll make one condition. If you agree, I will keep this matter to myself and will absolutely not let a third person know.” Sunny quickly said, “Tell me.” James revealed a rather sleazy smile and said, “Heh, my condition is… we keep this relationship going.”
