280: Chapter 287: Ho Has Beco a Canteen 280: Chapter 287: Ho Has Beco a Canteen Jas Brown was really tired today, he wanted to go to bed early, but Gina Lopez and Emily Lopez showed no signs of leaving.
Jas knew that Lucy Campbell had not woken up and Gina was worried, while Emily seed to be afraid of Lucy staying here.
Fortunately, Lucy finally woke up, rubbed her eyes and ca out.
Although she still looked a bit disheveled, she was in good spirits, walked over barefooted and smiled, saying, “Gina…
Huh, why are there two of you?”
Gina Lopez quickly explained, “Mr.
Smith, I’m Gina, this is my little sister Sandra, she’s my twin.”
Lucy responded with an “Oh,” and said, “You two really look alike, if I saw Sandra on the street, I would definitely mistake her for you.”
Sandra, in front of Lucy, did not dare to be naughty.
Gina had told her about so things related to the CEO, which made her involuntarily admire Lucy.
Just a while ago, when Lucy was asleep, Sandra could casually chat and joke with Jas, but now facing Lucy directly, she spoke honestly and said, “Hello Mr.
Smith.”
Lucy waved her hand and smiled, “Don’t call that, Sandra.
First of all, you are not an employee of my company, and secondly, we are at Jas’ ho.
We’re all friends of Jas, so we are all friends.”
Lucy’s approachability imdiately made Sandra relax, and she giggled, “Then I’ll call you Sister Lucy.”
“Sure, by the way, were you the ones who picked us up?
I’m really sorry, I slept the whole way and didn’t even know when you ca to pick us up.”
Sandra sat next to Lucy, curiously asking, “Sister Lucy, how did you get to know my brother-in-law?”
“Brother-in-law?” Lucy turned to glance at Jas Brown and Gina Lopez.
Gina hurriedly explained, “Mr.
Smith, don’t get the wrong idea, I once asked Jas to pretend to be my boyfriend to deceive my parents, and this girl just got used to calling him that and hasn’t changed it.”
Lucy laughed lightly, “Then it seems there is a chance that the fake act could beco real.”
Gina blushed deeply and looked at Jas, but she didn’t refute.
Jas, now too lazy to explain his relationship with Gina, yawned and said, “Thank you all for today, but I’m really sleepy now.
Can I go sleep for a while?”
Lucy stood up and said, “Then you get so rest.
Gina, Sandra, if you guys don’t have anything else to do, why don’t you co over to my place to chat?
There’s enough room in my ho, you’re welco to stay over.”
Jas’ entire floor, alongside Emily Jenkins’ place, were small, the only larger one belonged to Lucy.
Gina hesitated for a mont, and Sandra imdiately excitedly said, “Yes, yes!
Getting to chat with a legendary woman like Sister Lucy is sothing I’ve been longing for.”
Gina rushed to say, “Mr.
Smith, you’ve had such a hard day, we shouldn’t disturb you.”
Lucy laughed again, “It’s fine, I’m not really tired.
I was carried by Jas in the sea, and on the way back, I just slept on his back, so I’m quite spirited now.”
Gina and Sandra then followed Lucy out of Jas’ place, but before leaving, Sandra pouted at Jas and whispered softly, “Naughty brother-in-law, taking advantage of Sister Lucy.”
Jas rolled his eyes and did not bother to explain.
As soon as the three left, he quickly took a quick shower to wash off the seawater, then collapsed onto the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
In the morning, Jas exercised, took another shower, and was just about to prepare breakfast when a knock sounded on the door.
He went straight to open it, expecting Lucy to co over for breakfast.
But when he opened the door, he saw a bunch of people.
Not only was Lucy there, but also the Lopez twins Gina and Emily, and even Emily Jenkins was present.
Jas was stunned for a mont, then Sandra said with a grin, “Brother-in-law, we heard that Sister Lucy always mooches breakfast off of you, so we decided to co mooch too.”
Emily Jenkins playfully stuck out her tongue, “Big Brother Brown, you’re really popular, having so many beautiful won wanting to share breakfast with you.”
Jas didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, his house had turned into a canteen now, but he couldn’t send them away.
He smiled and said, “Alright, co on in.
Though, I will need to go out and buy so stuff, otherwise there won’t be enough for all of you.”
Jas Brown prepared a very lavish breakfast, not because there were four beautiful won present, but because he had exhausted a lot of energy yesterday.
After a full night’s sleep, although he had recovered sowhat, without the supply of food, he couldn’t fully recuperate.
Thus, the main reason was to prepare for himself.
“So tasty, the food is always the best when Big Brother Brown makes it.” Emily Jenkins stuffed an entire soup dumpling into her mouth.
Even though the dumplings were store-bought by Jas Brown, he still got all the credit.
Although Emily Jenkins was beautiful herself and very familiar with Jas Brown, Grace Lopez and Emily Lopez sohow held no animosity towards her.
They didn’t feel even a hint of affection for Jas Brown from her, just pure friendship.
“Sis, you eat too.
If you don’t eat now, there’ll be none left later.” Emily Jenkins, while eating, noticed that Gina Lopez wasn’t eating much and imdiately enthusiastically offered her a soup dumpling.
Ever since she heard Emily Lopez call Jas Brown brother-in-law, Emily Jenkins started calling Gina Lopez sister as well, trying to ingratiate herself with Gina so she could continue to freeload off of Jas.
Especially when Emily Jenkins called Gina “sister,” she would occasionally give Jas a mischievous wink as if suggesting she was keeping his relationship with Emma Campbell a secret.
This rendered Jas sowhat speechless, but he thought explanations might not clear things up, so he couldn’t be bothered to explain and let them call her whatever they wished, as it didn’t cost him anything.
Gina Lopez felt a bit awkward, but also a bit proud.
She glanced at Jas Brown and saw his frustrated expression as he kept his head down and focused on eating, which brought her an indescribable joy.
“I usually eat very little in the morning.
You eat more.”
After breakfast, Jas Brown and Gina Lopez went straight to the office.
Lucy Campbell didn’t follow them to the office today but stayed ho to rest, while Emily Jenkins went out to have fun.
Upon arriving at the office, Jas Brown felt everyone’s gaze directed at him.
When they realized he had walked in with Gina Lopez, everyone seed a tad disappointed.
Sensing everyone’s glances, Gina Lopez said sowhat dejectedly, “It seems I’m almost as unpopular as Mr.
Smith, seeing their disappointed looks.”
Jas laughed, “Because in everyone’s minds, you are esteed and high above, while Lucy is seen as an ordinary employee.
They probably feel they have more of a chance to get close to her, so they look forward to it so much.”
Gina Lopez gave Jas a sideways glance, asking, “Are you trying to comfort ?
But don’t worry, I am quite self-aware.
I know I still have so ways to go compared to Mr.
Smith.” Then she added aningfully, “And your gap with her is even wider.”
Jas smiled lightly, his words also laced with double aning, “I’m aware.
I never hold unrealistic expectations.
The gap in status is too large; even if we could be together, it wouldn’t last.”
Glancing around to see no one nearby, Gina suddenly stretched out her foot and gave Jas a kick, her eyes glaring as she said, “Stop pretending to be of low status here.
You’re the president of this company, a level above .
Even if you weren’t the president, you’re still the manager of HR, not much less than .”
Jas rubbed his nose and said, “It looks like later on, I might as well beco a junior staff mber.”
“You…
later on I’ll make you a security guard, let you guard the gate.”
Jas said with a grin, “That wouldn’t be too bad, right.
I could see all the beautiful won of our company every day.
That’s much better than staying in HR where no beauties co to my office.”
Gina was not irked this ti and said leisurely, “Your idea is not bad.
I’ll think about it.”
Just as she finished speaking, soone else walked over.
Gina Lopez didn’t say anything more to Jas and headed straight upstairs, while Jas turned toward his own office on the fourth floor.
He had barely sat down in his office for a mont when a commotion ca from the hallway, followed by the door being burst open, and four police officers rushed in.
“Jas Brown, you are now suspected of an intentional assault cri.
This is our arrest warrant.” One police officer swiftly unfurled an arrest warrant while the other three crowded around and cuffed Jas.
Jas didn’t resist, knowing full well that it must be Christopher Taylor’s doing, and this fellow wasn’t just so ordinary thug.
Resorting to openly using police to make the arrest ant that official procedures would be followed, and if Jas were to resist the police now, it would only give the appearance of attacking an officer.
He didn’t want to make a scene, so he obediently let the officers handcuff him.
“What’s going on?
Comrade Officer, you must be mistaken.”
As Jas was being led out of the office, Sarah Utah had already rushed over, blocking the police officers and loudly protesting.
This girl, usually gentle, was remarkably courageous when it ca to serious matters, as evidenced by her being the first to stand up in support of Jas during China Yiyuan Company’s previous incident.
“Please step aside, do not obstruct us carrying out our duties,” the police officer said sternly, all business.
“You must be wrong; Big Brother Brown couldn’t be a criminal,” Sarah insisted, standing firmly in their way.
Other employees of the company also began to murmur in support.
To them, as an amiable HR manager, Jas Brown was well-liked.
Speaking up for him now was not a big deal, and it was a chance for them to do him a favor.
