180: Chapter 180 Let’s Start 180: Chapter 180 Let’s Start “Sandra, let’s not talk about that.
What did you want to see for?” Jas Brown quickly changed the subject.
Emily Lopez imdiately complained, “Brother-in-law, am I really that bad?
Won’t you even give a chance?”
Jas Brown coughed dryly, avoiding Emily’s topic altogether.
Emily was indeed not bad—pretty and lively.
Being with her would surely never be dull.
But since Jas had already promised Emma Campbell and felt that a girl like her seed more suitable for him, he didn’t want to complicate matters further.
“You’re really not being fair, brother-in-law.
You’ve hugged , carried on your back, and I’ve even slept with you!
Now you just wipe your mouth clean after eating and deny it all.”
Jas was left exasperated by Mary Johnson’s words, saying, “Sandra, there was a reason for that, isn’t it?”
“Alright, I won’t push you,” she said.
“But I won’t give up either.
However…”
When Emily shifted the conversation, Jas was relieved and quickly said, “Just tell what it is.
As long as your brother-in-law can help, I definitely will.”
“You promise?”
“If I said so, I’ll do so.
But don’t make do anything too difficult, okay?”
“I’m not like Amanda Davis, how could I make things difficult for you?
I just need you to tell my sister later that you were out watching a movie with tonight.”
“Why?
Won’t that just cause more conflict between you and your sister?”
“It’s not conflict.
It’s to show her that our relationship is closer than hers with you, to make her back off sooner and spare our sisterly affection.”
“That…
I feel like it’s going to make the relationship between you two sisters worse?”
“You don’t understand my sister.
She’s tough on the outside but soft on the inside.
Can’t you see that?
She doesn’t want you with , so she says she wants to be with you.
It’s not even true.
When she knows we’re together, she will just get angry, not really hate .”
“Oh, now I get it.
That’s why your sister suddenly said such things.
Now I understand.”
“Hehe, I knew you were the best, brother-in-law.
That settles it, I can finally go ho.”
“Sweat, you’ve been outside all this ti?”
“Well, weren’t you not answering your phone?
I didn’t know when you’d finish watching the movie.
Not knowing when you would co ho, I just couldn’t go ho either.”
“Then you’d better hurry back.”
“Got it, bye brother-in-law.”
After hanging up the phone, Emily Lopez had a triumphant smile on her face.
She said that Gina Lopez wanted to be with Jas Brown for her sister’s sake, which was true.
She said that Gina was tough on the outside but soft on the inside, which was also true.
But she left out one thing—that Gina was an extrely competitive person.
The more difficult sothing was, the more Gina wanted to achieve it.
The greater the challenge, the more she wanted to tackle it.
The next day, Jas Brown arrived at the company early, as it was the day of interviews, and he couldn’t afford to be late.
In the company’s lobby, dozens of people were already waiting—more eager than they as interviewees.
After arriving and seeing the grand office building and luxury cars in the company parking lot, the candidates had a preliminary impression of the company’s strength.
Even though it was a new company, one could imagine its promising future.
Thus, those who had co just to try were now sincerely hoping to work here.
Jas first t up with Gina Lopez and Sunny Nguyen.
Seeing Jas, Gina glared at him fiercely, but she didn’t ntion anything about last night and directly discussed the recruitnt matters.
As the company’s boss, she made it a point to separate personal feelings from business.
Today’s recruitnt involved several key figures in the company.
Jas Brown, Gina Lopez, and Sunny Nguyen were the main examiners, while Sarah Utah took on the role of scribe.
They interviewed over a hundred people throughout the morning and briefly rested for half an hour before continuing.
Finally, by five in the afternoon, the interviews concluded, and they could all breathe a sigh of relief.
Jas had wanted to slip away, but Gina Lopez called him to her office.
He knew Gina had held back all day and wouldn’t rest until she had clarified what had transpired the previous night.
She would ask today, and if not, she would catch him and ask the sa tomorrow.
It was just the two of them this ti, Sunny hadn’t co over.
Jas sat on the sofa, leisurely smoking, while Gina crossed her arms and stared at him with a stern face, demanding, “What did you and Sandra do yesterday?”
“We watched a movie,” Jas flicked his cigarette ash, smiling in response.
Gina’s gaze turned colder, “You just watched a movie?
Didn’t do anything else?”
“What else could we have done?
We watched a movie, that’s all.”
Gina Lopez leaned forward, increasing her presence as she spoke to Jas Brown, “Hmph, are you really telling you didn’t do anything else?”
“Look, Mr.
Lopez, I really didn’t do squat.
You think I would sleep with Sandra?
I’ve got a girlfriend now, how could I do such a thing?”
“You have a girlfriend, yet you’re still going to the movies with Sandra.
Can’t you stop giving her opportunities?”
Jas shrugged and said, “There’s nothing going on between and Sandra, and I don’t plan to pursue anything with her.
Besides, even if I were married, that doesn’t an I can’t interact with other won, right?
According to you, having a girlfriend ans I shouldn’t work here either, since Boss Lopez is a woman, Sunny is a woman, Sarah Utah is a woman—and all of them are beauties.”
Gina glared at Jas and said, “You can’t compare the two situations.
Sandra is clearly looking to date you.”
“Well, that’s her business, but I’m not going to agree to it.”
Gina stared into Jas’s eyes, and he didn’t look away.
Seeing no guilt in his gaze, Gina had to believe him, but she knew her sister better.
If that girl set her mind on sothing, not even ten bulls could pull her back—like the ti she wanted to learn dancing.
Everyone in the family opposed it, but she just went on and didn’t co ho for days, forcing everyone to give in.
Now, Gina didn’t dare to push Grace too hard; if she got desperate, she might just run off and move in with Jas.
“Alright, I believe you,” Gina nodded, seemingly letting Jas off the hook.
But Jas rolled his eyes and said, “Mr.
Lopez, this is personal business, not work.
Could you please not talk to with that attitude?
I don’t need you to believe .”
Gina felt choked by his words and her expression soured, but what Jas said was true.
On this matter, she had no right to ddle in his affairs.
However, this made Gina even more displeased.
She glared at Jas and said, “Don’t forget, I will also be working with you, so I have to be concerned about your personal matters.”
“Ha ha…
well, suit yourself then,” Jas laughed heartily as he stood up, turning to leave Gina’s office.
This made Gina’s face turn ashen with anger.
What did he an by that?
She had just said she wanted to be with him, and he laughed it off.
Was the idea of being with her, Gina Lopez, sothing to be ridiculed?
Did she have to endure looking down from n she wanted to be with?
“Jas Brown, you jerk!
How dare you treat like this—I’ll see if you can fly out of Gina Lopez’s grasp.”
Jas’s attitude only fueled Gina’s competitive spirit.
Even if she didn’t really like Jas at that mont, she would not let him look down on her.
After two days of recruitnt and ticulous sorting, they decided to hire over two hundred people as company employees.
Among them, Jas ended up with only four subordinates, which was probably the smallest team in the entire company.
These four had decent work capabilities, two won in their thirties and two n in their twenties, but Jas didn’t have a secretary.
This irked Jas, so he specially went to negotiate with Gina about it.
“If you were the CEO, you wouldn’t just get one secretary—you could have three or five, no problem.
I think Elizabeth Smith is quite nice; not only is she pretty and young, she also has dimples when she smiles,” Gina said with a sweet smile on her face.
Jas imdiately felt annoyed and said, “Are you doing this on purpose?”
Holding a pen in her hand and lightly tapping on the desk, Gina responded, “Yes, I am doing it on purpose.
You want to find a young and beautiful woman to be your secretary?
Absolutely not.”
“Give one reason,” Jas stared at Gina, demanding an answer.
“You’re going to be my husband, Gina Lopez’s husband.
Why would I arrange any pretty young secretaries for you?”
This statent left Jas wide-eyed and speechless, looking dumbfounded at Gina.
While saying this, Gina herself felt nervous, her boldness forced by Grace’s recent actions.
If she didn’t take the initiative, Grace would only get closer to Jas, so she had blurted out this embarrassingly forward declaration.
But seeing Jas’s reaction, Gina suddenly felt a surge of satisfaction, her smile deepening as she said, “So just give it up.”
“Are you actually Grace?” Jas stood up suddenly, leaning in so close their faces were barely two inches apart.
Gina reflexively leaned back, but then straightened up again, looking firmly into Jas’s eyes, “What Grace can do, Gina Lopez can do too.
And I will be even more persistent.
Once I’ve set my mind on sothing, no one can change it, and I will definitely succeed.”
At that mont, Jas was sure he was talking to Gina, but her words made his scalp tingle and his back grow cold.
He slumped into his chair with a forced smile, “Can’t you just leave be?”
Gina’s temper flared up.
After pouring out her heart, not only did Jas reject her, but he also looked like he had lost everything.
Was she really that frightening?
Yet Gina didn’t show her emotions, speaking calmly, “No, I’ve already decided on this.”
Jas abruptly stood up again, approaching Gina with a fierce glare, then jerked at his collar and proclaid, “Fine, then let’s do it.
I’ll be your husband right now!”
