242: Chapter 245 Alice Brown’s Trouble 242: Chapter 245 Alice Brown’s Trouble Two people walked up the stairs together, and by the ti they reached the third floor toward the office area, there were no other people around.
Sarah Utah pursed her lips slightly and softly said, “Big Brother Brown, would you be upset if I wear this outfit to work?”
Jas Brown stopped walking, looking puzzled at Sarah Utah, and said, “How could I be upset?
You look so beautiful in it, it’s a pleasure for my eyes too.”
Sarah Utah bit her lip, sowhat coyly saying, “But you paid for half of this dress, so I should only… wear it for you to see.”
Jas Brown laughed heartily and said, “Silly girl, we mostly see each other at the company.
If you don’t wear it there and go ho to wear it, would I still have a chance to see it?
Wouldn’t I miss out on seeing a beautiful woman?”
“Am I a beautiful woman?” Sarah Utah asked a silly question.
Jas Brown couldn’t help but smile and said, “Anyone who dares to say Sarah Utah isn’t a beautiful woman will have to deal with.”
“Pfft!” Sarah Utah suddenly laughed out loud, and her mood seed to improve instantly.
She said, “Then I’ll go to work.”
After 9 o’clock, Gina Lopez called him, asking Jas Brown to go to her office.
Jas Brown had hinted to Gina Lopez yesterday, so presumably Gina Lopez wouldn’t have those thoughts anymore, as any woman would definitely despise a man who’s in another woman’s bed.
Upon reaching Gina Lopez’s office, Jas Brown unexpectedly saw lody Yoody.
“Old classmate, bet you didn’t expect to see here?” lody Yoody greeted Jas Brown with a smiling face.
Jas Brown replied with a smile, “Indeed, I didn’t expect that.
You didn’t even give a heads-up before coming.”
“It’s because I was afraid you’d be busy.”
Gina Lopez then chid in with a smile, “Township Chief Johnson, you really should have inford us first; should I have Jas pick you up?”
lody Yoody looked at Gina Lopez and said, “That’s not appropriate.
I’m here strictly for business.
If Jas ca to pick up, wouldn’t it seem like we can’t separate public from private?”
Whenever these two won ntioned Jas Brown, there always were subtle implications of their close relationship with him.
Jas Brown was sowhat numbed by now.
He lit a cigarette and sat across Gina Lopez’s office desk to watch the two won’s veiled exchanges, wondering why they always involved him in their business discussions.
Fortunately, the two quickly started discussing actual business.
lody Yoody questioned, “Mr.
Lopez, when can we start setting up the factory in our township?”
Gina Lopez replied promptly, “I have already t with our chairman about the factory issue, and she had no objections.
I can start preparations imdiately, but regarding the approval and land occupancy, your side also needs to expedite matters.
I hope to have the factory up within three to four months.”
lody Yoody responded readily, “No problem, that’s within our duties.”
The two won then discussed so work-related matters, which had nothing to do with Jas Brown.
Feeling a bit stifled, he sat on Gina Lopez’s chair, downloaded a ga, and started playing idly.
Finally, when their work discussions were over, Gina Lopez warmly invited lody Yoody to have lunch together.
This ti lody Yoody did not decline and readily accepted the invitation.
Gina Lopez also called Sunny Nguyen, and the four went to L Hotel.
Although the expenses there were high, as a large company, this was necessary for maintaining appearances.
While dining, they casually chatted with the three won discussing topics like shopping and beauty, which Jas Brown couldn’t contribute to, leaving him to enjoy so quiet ti; otherwise, who knew if he might inadvertently draw unwanted attention to himself.
An hour later, Jas Brown lit a cigarette and stepped out of the private room, wandering in the hotel courtyard.
The scenery was quite pleasant with various high-class ornantal trees and valuable flowers, along with a andering pond in the courtyard filled with colorful koi fish.
As Jas Brown walked by the pond, the koi followed his steps, probably used to being fed by people.
Not far off, Jas Brown heard soone talking.
This usually wouldn’t have caught his attention, but one woman’s voice did—it should be Alice Brown’s.
“Alice Brown, give us so face, won’t you drink a cup with us?” This remark caught Jas Brown’s interest even more, as it seed soone was pressuring Alice Brown.
“Master Johnson, I really can’t drink any more.
If I do, I’ll get drunk.” Alice Brown’s voice was still pleasant to hear but clearly conveyed refusal.
It had been days since Jas Brown last saw Alice Brown and Laura, and he had almost forgotten about these two beauties.
Now, hearing Alice might be in so trouble, he could not just ignore it.
Following the sound, he approached a first-floor private room with an open window from which Alice’s voice was coming.
Jas Brown stood by a small tree outside the window, peering inside.
If Alice wasn’t really feeling forced to accompany the other party, Jas wouldn’t need to intervene.
But if Alice truly didn’t want to and the other party insisted, Jas couldn’t allow Alice to be wronged.
There were six people in the room, four n and two won, sitting in the center was a man in his late twenties giving off an extrely arrogant and cocky vibe, undoubtedly he must be that Master Johnson they were talking about, these wealthy young masters all seed to carry the sa haughty deanor.
Alice Brown sat next to Master Johnson with a smile on her face, but her eyebrows were already slightly furrowed, showing her discomfort.
Master Johnson’s voice rose again, clearly displeased, he said: “Is my face not worth it, not even worth you, a famous host, having a drink with ?”
Alice Brown forced a light laugh, responding, “Master Johnson, you must be joking.
In YODC City, who would dare not give Master Johnson face?
But I really have had quite a bit to drink; I have a show this afternoon, and it might affect the recording.”
Master Johnson smirked darkly and said, “It looks like I will have to call your station manager to cancel this afternoon’s show.”
Alice Brown quickly replied, “Master Johnson, this program is very important, specifically arranged by the city governnt, even the station manager wouldn’t dare delay it.”
“Don’t use the city as a pressure on !” Master Johnson suddenly beca angry and slamd the table, shouting: “Alice Brown, I tell you, if you don’t make happy today, forget about recording shows, you won’t even think about being a host at the station anymore — once Christopher Taylor says sothing, it’s final.”
At this mont, another man was making eye signals to Alice Brown, saying, “Alice, just have so drinks with Master Johnson.
Why are you being so stubborn?
Don’t you know Master Johnson’s identity?
Don’t think his position in YODC City is not high — he is just here temporarily, he will be promoted soon, in a couple of years he might even beco a provincial official and becoming a mayor wouldn’t be a problem.”
Alice Brown looked at this Master Johnson.
In the past, she really hoped to connect with such a wealthy young master as it would give her a chance to advance further, but after getting to know Jas Brown, her mindset had changed.
Unlike Master Johnson, Jas Brown was an influential young master who always kept a low profile and respected her and Laura; but Christopher Taylor flaunted his background everywhere, acting as if there was nothing in the world he couldn’t accomplish — compared to Jas Brown, he was on a completely different level, so now she simply couldn’t accept such a young master.
Biting her lip, Alice Brown slowly stood up, raised her glass, and said apologetically to Christopher Taylor, “Master Johnson, I am truly sorry.”
Seeing Alice Brown holding up her glass, Christopher Taylor’s expression finally softened a bit, and he said, “Had you drunk earlier, why make everyone unhappy?”
“Master Johnson, after drinking this glass, I hope you will let bygones be bygones and just let go.”
“What do you an ‘let you go’?” Master Johnson squinted his eyes as he looked at Alice Brown.
“Alice is just a minor character, really not worth Master Johnson’s trouble, please let Alice go back to record the show.”
Master Johnson hadn’t expected that even after drinking with him, Alice Brown still wanted to leave, his face imdiately darkened, and he said, “If you want to leave, it’s not impossible.
I am not a person to force others, however… I do have a condition.
If you can et it, then I will let you go.”
Alice Brown knew without thinking that the condition proposed by Christopher Taylor would not be easy to et.
She bitterly smiled and said, “Master Johnson, you are a generous person, why bother with soone insignificant like ?”
“If you can’t et it, then you don’t need to go.” Christopher Taylor sat down, lit a cigarette, and leisurely watched Alice Brown.
Alice Brown’s mouth twitched slightly, and she said, “Master Johnson, isn’t this a bit too hard on Alice?”
“If you agree to my condition, I will definitely let you go.
How could that be considered making it hard for you?” At this mont, Christopher Taylor’s face even showed a smile, seemingly no longer angry, his confidence in control evident.
To the general public, Alice Brown was a celebrity host, but in Christopher Taylor’s eyes, people like Alice were at his disposal, he could demand anything from them, and they really had no opportunity to disagree.
Over the years, he had toyed with too many stars, many more famous than Alice Brown.
For a city-level host like Alice Brown, there really was no way to refuse him.
Alice Brown bit her lip, and with a soft, coquettish tone, said, “Master Johnson, as such a prominent figure, you shouldn’t make things difficult for a little woman like .”
Christopher Taylor’s gaze swept over Alice Brown, eventually settling on her sexy小 lip, and with narrowed eyes, he said: “You hosts are good with your mouths, so I want to taste how good you are with it.”
Alice Brown’s expression changed, but she still pretended not to understand and said, “Master Johnson, what would you like to talk about?
Tongue twisters are my specialty.”
Christopher Taylor lecherously smiled, speaking, “Are you pretending to be confused?
I don’t believe you don’t understand what I an.”
Alice Brown’s performance skills were indeed remarkable, she feigned surprise and said, “Master Johnson, that’s all I can do with my mouth, surely hosts don’t need to practice anything else?”
Christopher Taylor didn’t want to beat around the bush with Alice Brown anymore, disregarding that there were four other people in the room, he shalessly said, “Wrong, you still need to learn how to use your mouth to serve n.”
Alice Brown’s face suddenly changed, she truly hadn’t expected Christopher Taylor to be so brazen, to say such a thing in front of everyone, and though she wanted to disguise it, she couldn’t anymore.
