109: Chapter 109 Host 109: Chapter 109 Host In the car, Jas Brown learned about the role he was now supposed to play—a wealthy scion with a hefty fortune, still unmarried.
He had never wanted to take over the family business, instead loafing around in YODC City.
But now that Lucy Campbell was starting her business here, he had no choice but to co over and help.
This provided a plausible reason for Jas Brown’s presence in YODC City.
Even if so of the heavy hitters in YODC City recognized Lucy Campbell and saw her together with Jas Brown, it would still make sense.
Clearly, Lucy had thought everything through.
At this mont, however, Jas Brown gave Lucy Campbell a wry look and said, “Why do I feel like you’ve lured into your pirate ship?”
Lucy Campbell giggled and responded, “Who else do I trust in YODC City if not you?
If you don’t help , who will?”
“My heavens, if others knew that you, Lucy Campbell, could be so willful, I wonder how many hearts would be shattered.”
“I’m a girl, aren’t I?
Being willful is in our nature, do you have a problem with that?”
“No complaints, no complaints!” Jas Brown also laughed heartily, finding this side of Lucy Campbell truer and more relaxing for him.
As for Jas Brown, playing the role of a rich young master was a breeze, sothing Lucy Campbell clearly understood as well, so she didn’t elaborate on that aspect.
At seven o’clock, Jas Brown and Lucy Campbell arrived at the very famous L Hotel in YODC City.
The establishnt operated on a mbership system; without a mbership card, unless accompanied by a mber, it was pretty much impossible to get in.
And the annual mbership fee was seventy thousand dollars, and that was just for the mbership.
Dining there was also extrely expensive, and ordinary rich people couldn’t afford to frequent it.
Yet such an exclusive venue only made people more eager to enter, as it was a symbol of status and a demonstration of power.
As a result, the business of L Hotel was surprisingly good.
Lucy Campbell had a mbership card.
After showing it at the door, they entered.
Jas Brown glanced around; such an establishnt, while premier in YODC City, was quite inferior compared to those in the capital of SSUP.
When he was in the capital of SSUP, he frequently visited such places—not for enjoynt but for missions.
He also surveyed the exits and so of the furnishings, as being out with Lucy Campbell ant he had to ensure her safety.
Should any unexpected situations arise, he had to be able to get her out of there in the shortest ti possible.
Lucy Campbell took Jas Brown to the manager’s office.
The manager, a woman in her thirties nad Charlotte Davis, was astute and efficient, and she warmly greeted Lucy Campbell and Jas Brown.
After sitting down, Lucy Campbell spoke, “Manager Davis, this is my cousin, Jas Brown.
He’s always kept a low profile living in YODC City.
Now that I’ve co here to do business, I managed to enlist his help.
He’ll be frequenting such venues from now on, so could you arrange a mbership card for my cousin too?”
Charlotte Davis took another look at Jas Brown, evidently surprised that such a person had been hidden in YODC City.
However, her face didn’t show it, and she enthusiastically said, “Miss Campbell’s cousin, that’s quite a notable figure!
I can’t believe I didn’t know about him before; this is truly an oversight on my part.
I will arrange to have one made right away.
Miss Campbell, you go about your business; I’ll deliver Mr.
Brown’s mbership card personally in a bit.”
After a short conversation with Charlotte Davis, they went to a private room on the fifth floor.
The room, asuring fifty or sixty square ters, had a dining table that wasn’t very large, seating only eight people.
Silver tableware was displayed on the table, showcasing opulence.
Furthermore, the room had a circle of sofas, a bed, and a spacious bathroom with a large bathtub.
This place wasn’t just for dining but also for resting.
Even a small cocktail party could easily be hosted in the middle area.
They both sat down on a sofa, and Jas Brown said cheerfully, “The life of the rich really is different.
Having dinner here with two beauties, anything can happen.”
Lucy Campbell gave Jas Brown a reproachful glance and said, “There will be two celebrities coming later.
If you want to discreetly hook up with them, I think they’d be willing.”
“Heh, better not.
What would I do if that happened?
If they got attached to , I wouldn’t be able to support them.
Wouldn’t that be asking for trouble?”
Lucy Campbell chuckled and replied, “No problem, I’ll support them for you.”
Of course, Jas Brown didn’t believe Lucy Campbell was serious and laughed, “What would I be then?
You support , and then I go support others?”
Lucy Campbell giggled and said, “Soone like you, I wouldn’t dare support.
Wouldn’t that be disrespectful to you?”
Lucy Campbell had a way of speaking that put people at ease.
Jas Brown knew that although he had previously been the second-in-command of the Hawk Squad with considerable power, his status still fell far short in the eyes of soone like Lucy Campbell.
Nevertheless, Lucy always showed him respect, which made it clear she had a great capacity for leadership—the kind that invariably secured the undying loyalty of those who worked for her.
They had barely exchanged a few words when there was a knock at the door.
Lucy said, “Co in,” and two fashionably dressed, tall and attractive won entered.
Lucy and Jas both stood up, and the two won quickly walked over to them, smiling broadly and saying, “Hello, Miss Campbell!” But when they turned to Jas, they seed unsure how to greet him.
Lucy gave a slight smile and said, “This is my cousin Jas Brown.
Cousin, this is Alice Brown, and this is Jennifer Hog, both well-known hosts from YODC City TV Station.”
For the average person, being a TV station host was quite a reputable position, though there was a distinction between local, provincial, and national broadcasters.
Alice and Jennifer were rely local hosts with a bit of fa in YODC City, usually attending so municipal events, and then only for average businesses.
After all, large conglorates and corporations would normally seek out celebrities, not them.
For these two, there wasn’t much room for career advancent left in YODC City.
When Lucy sought them out this ti, they were thrilled.
Although Lucy didn’t approach them in the na of her corporation, the investnt scale of seventy thousand dollars was already considerable enough to command respect.
And since Jas was Lucy’s cousin, it was clear he was from a wealthy second generation.
Knowing that they were being approached by a beautiful woman like Lucy made Alice and Jennifer a bit nervous, as their own looks held no sway over her.
But seeing a man like Jas present filled them with excitent; after all, to any man, their beauty would undoubtedly be an advantage.
Next to Lucy, however, the confidence they derived from their beauty vanished entirely.
Lucy’s attractiveness simply overshadowed theirs, and next to her, they felt like ugly ducklings.
So, in the company of Lucy and Jas, they seed sowhat uneasy.
“Hello, Mr.
Brown!” They each gave Jas a handshake before sitting down politely on a sofa to the side.
Lucy sat next to Jas and gave him a light nudge with her elbow, saying, “Cousin, don’t tell you’re not familiar with two famous TV hosts?”
Jas chuckled and replied, “You’re actually right, I don’t watch TV usually.
But I must say, both the beautiful hosts have such charm.
If I had known you earlier, I would have beco your fan.”
Alice and Jennifer both giggled.
Alice said, “Please, Mr.
Brown, don’t tease us.
A person like you would have celebrities flocking to you with just a wave of your hand.
You couldn’t possibly be our fan.”
Jennifer added, “We didn’t know Mr.
Brown was in YODC City.
Had we known, we would have co to curry favor with you long ago.”
As hosts, their greatest skill was naturally their gift of gab.
Initially a bit stiff, upon seeing that neither Jas nor Lucy were arrogant, they soon relaxed and played to their strengths: the conversation was humorous and witty, and the atmosphere beca increasingly comfortable.
In reality, both of them hoped to entice Jas; marrying into wealth would be ideal, but even if they couldn’t, gaining his favor and being associated with him would make their career progression in this circle, or whatever else they chose to do, much more efficient.
After having been in this business for a while, they were no longer the untainted girls untouched by the world’s gri—they had long been assimilated by society.
After a while of conversation and once the al was served, Alice and Jennifer frequently toasted Lucy and Jas, with their primary focus evidently being Jas.
Lucy didn’t interject but watched Jas quietly.
She was curious to see how he, as a man, would react and respond to such a situation.
Although she had developed genuine feelings for Jas after he saved her, she remained a very rational woman.
Mainly, she needed to see if Jas truly suited her and t her criteria in other aspects.
In essence, the two TV hosts were a test she had devised for Jas.
Unaware of Lucy’s motives, Jas took great pleasure in dining and chatting with two such beautiful won, and from their conversation, he could tell they were keen on impressing him.
Jas wasn’t averse to won like them; he wouldn’t object to a no-strings-attached fling, but this wasn’t his aim given their obvious intentions, which contradicted his principles.
He preferred situations without consequences, just seeking mutual enjoynt.
Engaging with the two hosts could lead to them expecting significant benefits from him later, and currently, he had nothing to offer them.
Moreover, it wasn’t his style to pursue such matters.
So, while the interaction was pleasant, Jas remained courteous and did not show any lecherous behavior.
This was sothing Lucy found quite satisfying.
