424: Chapter 431 This Joke Isn’t Funny 424: Chapter 431 This Joke Isn’t Funny Jas Brown laughed heartily and said, “Your joke is really hilarious.
If you really had eyes for , I’d just walk away with you right now.”
“Alright!
Then I do have eyes for you, so co with .” Lucy Campbell looked at Jas Brown with a teasing smile.
Jas Brown laughed even happier and said, “I have to say, Lucy, who would believe you could joke around with a man like this?
If other n saw this, they’d be so jealous.”
Lucy Campbell gave a mischievous smile and said, “How do you know I’m joking?”
Jas Brown rolled his eyes at Lucy Campbell and said, “I’m not stupid.
You’re you, I’m .
How could you have eyes for ?
Plus, I’m already a married man, so it’s even more impossible.”
“A man who has experienced marriage can have a deeper understanding of it.
That’s a real man, unlike those young guys who make people uneasy after getting married.”
“No way?
Do you actually want soone who’s been married before?” Jas Brown’s eyes widened.
Lucy Campbell chuckled and said, “Why not?
Think about it, you divorce Gina Lopez, and I’ll go with you.”
“Alright, alright, that’s worth considering.
Marrying you would save a lifeti of struggle.
I’d have endless money and a status that many admire.
Just thinking about it is exciting.”
“You’re so annoying.
When did you beco so materialistic?”
“I’m just a little materialistic now.”
The two chatted and laughed for a while.
Lucy Campbell was half-serious, but Jas Brown didn’t take her words seriously at all.
A knock on the door interrupted them, and Lucy Campbell went to open the door.
Smiling at Gina Lopez who entered, she said, “Gina, you aren’t worried I’ll steal your husband, are you?”
Gina Lopez blushed and quickly said, “Not at all.
With anyone else, I might worry, but Lucy, how could you have eyes for this guy?”
“It seems that Jas is still a very excellent husband in your eyes, Gina.
You better keep an eye on him and not let him run off with soone else.”
Gina Lopez pretended to glare at Jas Brown and said, “If anyone likes him, they can take him, so I won’t be annoyed at ho.”
Jas Brown imdiately protested, “Honey, I haven’t annoyed you.”
“If I say you did, then you did.
Can’t argue with that.”
“Alright, alright, I did annoy you.” Jas Brown quickly placated her, and Gina Lopez burst out laughing.
She was more and more satisfied with her husband now.
It was the weekend, and though Gina Lopez wanted to squeeze in so work, the others had nothing to do.
Lucy Campbell said to Gina Lopez, “Gina, can I borrow your husband today?
I want to go shopping.”
Gina Lopez readily agreed, “No problem.
Husband, today you accompany Lucy.”
After a little tidying up, Jas Brown drove Lucy Campbell and Emily Jenkins to the airport.
Emily had a flight assignnt today, otherwise she would have joined them shopping.
“When will I stop flying around like this?
I really want to go shopping with you guys.” Emily Jenkins said wistfully from the car.
Lucy Campbell chuckled softly, “If you don’t want to fly, then don’t.”
“But I’m not good at anything else and can’t find a job.
I’d starve to death.”
“Aren’t you always having als at Jas’s place?
You definitely won’t starve.”
Emily’s eyes lit up, “Yeah, I surely won’t starve.” But she quickly shook her head and said, “I have a place to eat, but Jas can’t support forever.
Oh man, Big Brother Brown, you should earn more money.
If you had Twenty Million Dollars, I’d let you support .
Wouldn’t that be great?”
Jas Brown almost choked on his own saliva and said, “When did you start thinking like that?”
“Hehe, it’s just that n nowadays are so unreliable.
It’s hard to find a good husband.
Good n are either married or too old.
I can’t find a decent one.”
Jas Brown huffed, “You can’t just let soone support you, right?
If you really have that thought, go find soone to support you.
I can’t be bothered with you.”
Seeing Jas seed a bit upset, Emily laughed cheekily and said, “Big Brother Brown, don’t be mad.
I wouldn’t actually do it.
I just feel Big Brother Brown treats well, so having you support would be nice.
I wouldn’t consider anyone else.”
Jas Brown felt a bit awkward from Emily’s words, while Lucy Campbell burst out laughing and said, “Emily, if Gina hears this, you might not have a place to crash for als anymore.”
Emily was startled and said, “Thanks for reminding .
I guess I shouldn’t say things like this anymore.
Big Brother Brown, I don’t want you to support .
Besides, you don’t have that much money to do it, hehe…”
Jas Brown found himself helpless against Emily Jenkins.
This girl had a big heart and was totally unguarded, speaking whatever was on her mind.
The car arrived at the airport, and he glared at Emily, “Get off the car already.”
Emily giggled, hopped out of the car, and dragged her suitcase towards the airport.
At the entrance, she waved back at Jas, her flight attendant uniform attracting the eyes of countless passing n.
Jas Brown had just started the car when Lucy Campbell chuckled softly, “See?
There are quite a few people who have their eyes on you.”
Jas Brown laughed, “You take Emily’s words seriously?
She’s just a simple girl who loves having als at my place.”
“Not necessarily.
Simple-minded girls, when they set their eyes on soone, it’s hard to make them change their minds.
Maybe Emily just wants to stick with you for life.”
“Co on, don’t scare .
I’m already in enough chaos.
If you keep talking like that, I won’t dare let her co over for als anymore.”
Lucy Campbell suppressed her laughter and said, “Okay, consider I didn’t say anything.
Otherwise, if Emily has no place to eat, she’ll bla .”
Jas Brown thought Lucy Campbell had sothing important today, but it turned out she just went shopping and bought quite a lot.
What she bought wasn’t any big brand, and many were cheap street vendor stuff.
“Oh, these clothes are so cheap.” Lucy was buying enthusiastically, tireless in her shopping.
Jas Brown couldn’t help but smile and said, “Aren’t you afraid of wearing them out and being laughed at?”
“Laugh at what?
These clothes have good styles, and the material is okay too.
Actually, branded clothes mostly sell the brand itself.
In terms of quality and craftsmanship, they aren’t necessarily better than these clothes.”
Jas Brown laughed, “It also depends on who wears them.
On you, even ordinary clothes look top tier.
If you wore these to so event, you might start a trend.”
“Kekeke, that’s a benefit.
Absolutely no worries about clashing with soone else.”
As they continued shopping and chatting, Jas Brown appeared casual, but his eyes constantly watched the people around them.
Lucy Campbell wasn’t ordinary, and danger could co unannounced.
He had to regain his alertness like when he was the second in command of the Hawk Squad.
Lucy Campbell seed completely at ease, not worried about anything, even holding Jas Brown’s arm.
Jas didn’t mind this, actually finding it easier to protect Lucy this way, as the closer she was, the easier it was to safeguard her.
“Ah!” A startled cry accompanied by a figure rushing towards Jas Brown.
Jas nearly kicked the person on reflex but stopped just in ti because it was Trevor Adams from the company’s HR departnt.
“Manager Clark, you…” David Clark rushed in front of the two, wide-eyed, and then turned to Jas Brown, rolling his eyes.
“I finally get it.
You’ve made Lucy Campbell your secretary to secure your advantage.”
Jas Brown rolled his eyes at the chubby guy and said, “Stop talking nonsense.”
Lucy Campbell had a kind smile and said, “Robert, such a coincidence running into you here.”
David Clark’s face turned a bit red, and in a huff, he said, “Lucy Campbell, as your colleague, I must remind you that our Manager Johnson already has a girlfriend.
You can’t bow to such evil forces.”
Lucy Campbell giggled and looked at Jas Brown, smiling as she said, “What can I do?
He’s the manager, I’m his secretary.
What can I do?”
David Clark was just trying to joke around since Jas never put on airs, so when talking to him, David never felt any restrictions.
But Lucy’s words seed to imply sothing about her and Jas.
David’s eyes widened and said, “No way?
Lucy Campbell, how can you succumb to his tyranny?
If you just say the word, all the male colleagues in the company will back you up to overthrow Manager Johnson!”
Lucy Campbell’s smile beca even more brilliant, “Thank you, but I find Manager Johnson pretty good.
He’s been really considerate, so being around him makes happy.”
“Ah ah…” David Clark held his forehead, looking up at the sky for a good ten seconds before turning to Lucy with a face of anguish.
“You’re the goddess in the hearts of our company’s male employees.
Goddesses are pure and should not be defiled.
This is too heartbreaking.”
Jas Brown rolled his eyes at Lucy Campbell and said, “Robert, don’t listen to Lucy’s nonsense.
I’m just here to shop with her.”
