59: Chapter 59 Going Out 59: Chapter 59 Going Out Sarah Grandy called again, and James Brown couldn’t help but shake his head as he answered the phone, saying, “Sarah, I’ve already moved to my new place. We won’t be taking the same route anymore.” “Damn uncle, just moving out like that, that’s really not cool,” Sarah Grandy immediately retorted fiercely. “Heh, there’s nothing I can do about it.” “Annoying, so you just enjoy watching me get harassed on the bus every day?” “Can’t you just stick with your classmates or stand with other girls?” “I don’t like hanging out with those little kids at all. They have no real talents but still like to show off in front of me. It’s just irritating watching them.” “Well, I can’t help you there. You’re on your own, kiddo. I’ve got stuff to do. Gotta hang up.” After saying that, James promptly ended the call. He had shared a ride with Sarah Grandy a few days ago, just to lend a small hand, but he didn’t want to deal with such a young girl anymore. Now that he wasn’t sharing rides with her, naturally, he had no desire to get involved with her further. Arriving at the office, after being busy for a while, Emily Green walked in and asked, “James Brown, do you know how to drive?” “I do,” James quickly responded. Emily nodded and said, “Then, in a while, could you drive for Chief Lopez? Ryan Easton took a day off today.” James agreed, took the car keys, and sat in his office waiting. Anyone needing a car would have to come to him in the logistics department. Before long, Sunny Nguyen arrived at logistics, and James immediately stood up and said, “Chief Lopez, I’ll be your driver today.” Chief Lopez was slightly taken aback. She did request a car, but she hadn’t expected James to be the one driving her. She nodded and turned to leave. James followed her into the elevator. As the doors closed, he gave Sunny a faint smile and then just stared straight ahead at the elevator lights. However, Sunny was staring at James. Once they reached the underground parking garage and James hadn’t said a word, Sunny felt somewhat stifled. After buckling herself in, she scoffed, “Why aren’t you talking to me at all? Finished eating and wiping your mouth clean?” James started the car, turned to Sunny, and smirked, saying, “Chief Lopez, isn’t it you who told me to treat you like a chief when we’re in the company? I’m just following your rules.” Sunny huffed, “So, normally you wouldn’t talk to me either?” Knowing James’s behavior was actually for the best, she still felt somewhat offended. “You are the Chief and I’m just a staff member. If I talk too much, people might think there’s something going on between us.” “Ha, keep pretending. I’ve seen plenty of men like you. Once you’re done, you deny everything, as if I’m going to cling to you.” James gave a dry laugh and chose not to respond. With Sunny being particularly emotionally fragile, saying less was better. Seeing James feign ignorance only irritated Sunny more. She reached out and suddenly twisted his arm. James’s car almost collided with a vehicle entering the underground parking lot, but he quickly slammed on the brakes. The other car also stopped abruptly, and when James recognized the Buick belonged to Emily Green, he turned to Sunny somewhat helplessly, saying, “Alright, we almost hit the boss’s car.” Emily, who of course recognized her company’s cars, rolled down her window. James hurriedly did the same and said, “Ms. Green, I’m sorry.” Seeing James driving was surprising to Emily, but when she saw Sunny through the car window, her eyes narrowed, and she asked, “Is everything alright, Chief Lopez? Are you heading out?” Sunny nodded and replied, “Yes, I need to submit a report at headquarters, and there are some data points to discuss with them. It seems like the regular driver is on leave, so James is driving me.” She instinctively explained why James was driving her. “Okay, then you go ahead. James, be careful when driving.” “Thank you for your concern, Ms. Green. I will,” James chuckled, and the car slowly left the parking area. At that moment, Emily’s suspicion about the relationship between James Brown and Sunny Nguyen deepened. Sunny using the company car was perfectly normal, and who drove her was also normal, but her specific explanation highlighted her anxiousness, a classic case of protesting too much. “Could it be that Sunny has been involved with James, leading to her divorce?” Emily wondered, shaking her head at the thought. It would truly be a shame if Sunny got a divorce over someone like James. Inside the car, James frowned and said, “Chief Lopez, you almost made me have an accident, and we nearly hit the boss’s car. Are you trying to get me in trouble?” Sunny snorted and said, “Serves you right.” S~eaʀᴄh the NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. “Ah, I see now, nothing seems right. There’s a saying that only women and villains are difficult to deal with.” Sunny glared at James again, but she didn’t persist, knowing she was being somewhat unreasonable. After taking a few breaths, she calmed herself and said, “Forget it, I was wrong. You just focus on driving.” Then she turned her head to look outside the car. The car fell silent immediately. James casually turned on the CD player, listening to a few songs he couldn’t sing, slowly driving towards the headquarters. The headquarters wasn’t in OGRO Region but in DEOT City, a provincial capital about three hundred kilometers from YODC City, which was not a short distance, requiring over three hours of driving by car. Driving through the urban area of YODC City was slow, and after dawdling for over half an hour, they finally got on the expressway. The speed was limited on the expressway. James was driving a Buick, a standard official vehicle with decent performance. However, regardless of the performance, the speed on the expressway was limited to 124 kilometers per hour, and the company clearly stipulated that drivers wouldn’t be reimbursed for traffic penalties. Having worked in the logistics department for ten days, James was well aware of this policy. There was no rush, and James didn’t need to drive too fast. He maintained a steady speed of about 110 kilometers per hour. “James, talk to me,” Sunny said after about an hour of silence. “Don’t worry, I won’t cling to you. I’m just a bit bored and want to chat.” James turned to look at Sunny and smiled, “What do you want to talk about? I’ll keep you company since you’re paying.” “Go to hell,” Sunny couldn’t help but smile at James’s joke, but she immediately sighed and said, “Do you think I am a bad woman, a despicable woman?” “Why would you say that?” James frowned. “I’ve only been married for three years, and I’m already getting a divorce. I always thought my husband betrayed me, but I also betrayed him by sleeping with you before our divorce.” “Well, that’s not really the case. If men can have mistresses, where do these mistresses come from? Naturally, there are women willing, but that doesn’t necessarily make them bad people. It’s not about destroying families, it’s just a necessity.” “You’re oversimplifying it. Unlike you, I’m married. I should be responsible for my family, but here I am, having done such a thing. I really don’t feel like I’m a good woman.” “I think you did nothing wrong. The first time we slept together was clearly because your husband wanted to divorce you. You hadn’t done anything like this before, had you?” “Of course not.” “There you go. He wasn’t your husband anymore, so you were practically single. You’re free to do whatever you want.” Sunny shook her head and sighed, clearly not agreeing with James. After a pause, she said, “I also think I should reflect on myself. I prioritized work too much and neglected my time with him, which probably led him to fall for someone else.” James thought Sunny was indeed a good woman, knowing how to introspect. Smiling, he said, “Forget it. Don’t think too much about it. Some things in the past are just the past. Three-legged frogs are hard to find, but are men hard to find? Maybe soon you’ll meet your true love and start a new married life.” Sunny laughed sarcastically and said, “Forget it. I’m hurt this time. I don’t want to marry again in this lifetime. Actually, being alone isn’t bad. It’s as free as you.” “Well, don’t compare yourself to me. I have no money or house. Otherwise, do you think I wouldn’t want to get married?” Sunny glanced sideways at James and said, “Really? Do you need me to introduce you to a few girls later? I know quite a few pretty unmarried girls at headquarters.” “Forget it, with my situation, who would fancy me? I’d rather continue living the single life.” “You’re taking it easy. By the way, do you know if there are any vacant apartments near the company? I’m thinking of renting a place.” The apartment next to James was vacant, but he didn’t want Sunny to move in. Pretending to think, he said, “I really don’t know. I’ve only been working in YODC City for a couple of months. It’s good enough that I don’t get lost.” “Oh, then I’ll look for myself later.” “If he initiated the divorce, why did you move out on your own?” Sunny smiled faintly and said, “Once I, Sunny Nguyen, agreed to cut ties with him, I didn’t want to have any connection with him, not even a tiny bit. Regardless of money or houses, I believe in my capabilities, and I’m sure I’ll earn everything back.” At that moment, Sunny revealed her strong confidence, a decisive attitude, and the demeanor of a corporate elite was fully displayed.
