59: Chapter 59 Going Out 59: Chapter 59 Going Out Sarah Grandy called again, and Jas Brown couldn’t help but shake his head as he answered the phone, saying, “Sarah, I’ve already moved to my new place.
We won’t be taking the sa route anymore.”
“Damn uncle, just moving out like that, that’s really not cool,” Sarah Grandy imdiately retorted fiercely.
“Heh, there’s nothing I can do about it.”
“Annoying, so you just enjoy watching get harassed on the bus every day?”
“Can’t you just stick with your classmates or stand with other girls?”
“I don’t like hanging out with those little kids at all.
They have no real talents but still like to show off in front of .
It’s just irritating watching them.”
“Well, I can’t help you there.
You’re on your own, kiddo.
I’ve got stuff to do.
Gotta hang up.” After saying that, Jas promptly ended the call.
He had shared a ride with Sarah Grandy a few days ago, just to lend a small hand, but he didn’t want to deal with such a young girl anymore.
Now that he wasn’t sharing rides with her, naturally, he had no desire to get involved with her further.
Arriving at the office, after being busy for a while, Emily Green walked in and asked, “Jas Brown, do you know how to drive?”
“I do,” Jas quickly responded.
Emily nodded and said, “Then, in a while, could you drive for Chief Lopez?
Ryan Easton took a day off today.”
Jas agreed, took the car keys, and sat in his office waiting.
Anyone needing a car would have to co to him in the logistics departnt.
Before long, Sunny Nguyen arrived at logistics, and Jas imdiately stood up and said, “Chief Lopez, I’ll be your driver today.”
Chief Lopez was slightly taken aback.
She did request a car, but she hadn’t expected Jas to be the one driving her.
She nodded and turned to leave.
Jas followed her into the elevator.
As the doors closed, he gave Sunny a faint smile and then just stared straight ahead at the elevator lights.
However, Sunny was staring at Jas.
Once they reached the underground parking garage and Jas hadn’t said a word, Sunny felt sowhat stifled.
After buckling herself in, she scoffed, “Why aren’t you talking to at all?
Finished eating and wiping your mouth clean?”
Jas started the car, turned to Sunny, and smirked, saying, “Chief Lopez, isn’t it you who told to treat you like a chief when we’re in the company?
I’m just following your rules.”
Sunny huffed, “So, normally you wouldn’t talk to either?” Knowing Jas’s behavior was actually for the best, she still felt sowhat offended.
“You are the Chief and I’m just a staff mber.
If I talk too much, people might think there’s sothing going on between us.”
“Ha, keep pretending.
I’ve seen plenty of n like you.
Once you’re done, you deny everything, as if I’m going to cling to you.”
Jas gave a dry laugh and chose not to respond.
With Sunny being particularly emotionally fragile, saying less was better.
Seeing Jas feign ignorance only irritated Sunny more.
She reached out and suddenly twisted his arm.
Jas’s car almost collided with a vehicle entering the underground parking lot, but he quickly slamd on the brakes.
The other car also stopped abruptly, and when Jas recognized the Buick belonged to Emily Green, he turned to Sunny sowhat helplessly, saying, “Alright, we almost hit the boss’s car.”
Emily, who of course recognized her company’s cars, rolled down her window.
Jas hurriedly did the sa and said, “Ms.
Green, I’m sorry.”
Seeing Jas driving was surprising to Emily, but when she saw Sunny through the car window, her eyes narrowed, and she asked, “Is everything alright, Chief Lopez?
Are you heading out?”
Sunny nodded and replied, “Yes, I need to submit a report at headquarters, and there are so data points to discuss with them.
It seems like the regular driver is on leave, so Jas is driving .” She instinctively explained why Jas was driving her.
“Okay, then you go ahead.
Jas, be careful when driving.”
“Thank you for your concern, Ms.
Green.
I will,” Jas chuckled, and the car slowly left the parking area.
At that mont, Emily’s suspicion about the relationship between Jas Brown and Sunny Nguyen deepened.
Sunny using the company car was perfectly normal, and who drove her was also normal, but her specific explanation highlighted her anxiousness, a classic case of protesting too much.
“Could it be that Sunny has been involved with Jas, leading to her divorce?” Emily wondered, shaking her head at the thought.
It would truly be a sha if Sunny got a divorce over soone like Jas.
Inside the car, Jas frowned and said, “Chief Lopez, you almost made have an accident, and we nearly hit the boss’s car.
Are you trying to get in trouble?”
Sunny snorted and said, “Serves you right.”
“Ah, I see now, nothing seems right.
There’s a saying that only won and villains are difficult to deal with.”
Sunny glared at Jas again, but she didn’t persist, knowing she was being sowhat unreasonable.
After taking a few breaths, she cald herself and said, “Forget it, I was wrong.
You just focus on driving.” Then she turned her head to look outside the car.
The car fell silent imdiately.
Jas casually turned on the CD player, listening to a few songs he couldn’t sing, slowly driving towards the headquarters.
The headquarters wasn’t in OGRO Region but in DEOT City, a provincial capital about three hundred kiloters from YODC City, which was not a short distance, requiring over three hours of driving by car.
Driving through the urban area of YODC City was slow, and after dawdling for over half an hour, they finally got on the expressway.
The speed was limited on the expressway.
Jas was driving a Buick, a standard official vehicle with decent performance.
However, regardless of the performance, the speed on the expressway was limited to 124 kiloters per hour, and the company clearly stipulated that drivers wouldn’t be reimbursed for traffic penalties.
Having worked in the logistics departnt for ten days, Jas was well aware of this policy.
There was no rush, and Jas didn’t need to drive too fast.
He maintained a steady speed of about 110 kiloters per hour.
“Jas, talk to ,” Sunny said after about an hour of silence.
“Don’t worry, I won’t cling to you.
I’m just a bit bored and want to chat.”
Jas turned to look at Sunny and smiled, “What do you want to talk about?
I’ll keep you company since you’re paying.”
“Go to hell,” Sunny couldn’t help but smile at Jas’s joke, but she imdiately sighed and said, “Do you think I am a bad woman, a despicable woman?”
“Why would you say that?” Jas frowned.
“I’ve only been married for three years, and I’m already getting a divorce.
I always thought my husband betrayed , but I also betrayed him by sleeping with you before our divorce.”
“Well, that’s not really the case.
If n can have mistresses, where do these mistresses co from?
Naturally, there are won willing, but that doesn’t necessarily make them bad people.
It’s not about destroying families, it’s just a necessity.”
“You’re oversimplifying it.
Unlike you, I’m married.
I should be responsible for my family, but here I am, having done such a thing.
I really don’t feel like I’m a good woman.”
“I think you did nothing wrong.
The first ti we slept together was clearly because your husband wanted to divorce you.
You hadn’t done anything like this before, had you?”
“Of course not.”
“There you go.
He wasn’t your husband anymore, so you were practically single.
You’re free to do whatever you want.”
Sunny shook her head and sighed, clearly not agreeing with Jas.
After a pause, she said, “I also think I should reflect on myself.
I prioritized work too much and neglected my ti with him, which probably led him to fall for soone else.”
Jas thought Sunny was indeed a good woman, knowing how to introspect.
Smiling, he said, “Forget it.
Don’t think too much about it.
So things in the past are just the past.
Three-legged frogs are hard to find, but are n hard to find?
Maybe soon you’ll et your true love and start a new married life.”
Sunny laughed sarcastically and said, “Forget it.
I’m hurt this ti.
I don’t want to marry again in this lifeti.
Actually, being alone isn’t bad.
It’s as free as you.”
“Well, don’t compare yourself to .
I have no money or house.
Otherwise, do you think I wouldn’t want to get married?”
Sunny glanced sideways at Jas and said, “Really?
Do you need to introduce you to a few girls later?
I know quite a few pretty unmarried girls at headquarters.”
“Forget it, with my situation, who would fancy ?
I’d rather continue living the single life.”
“You’re taking it easy.
By the way, do you know if there are any vacant apartnts near the company?
I’m thinking of renting a place.”
The apartnt next to Jas was vacant, but he didn’t want Sunny to move in.
Pretending to think, he said, “I really don’t know.
I’ve only been working in YODC City for a couple of months.
It’s good enough that I don’t get lost.”
“Oh, then I’ll look for myself later.”
“If he initiated the divorce, why did you move out on your own?”
Sunny smiled faintly and said, “Once I, Sunny Nguyen, agreed to cut ties with him, I didn’t want to have any connection with him, not even a tiny bit.
Regardless of money or houses, I believe in my capabilities, and I’m sure I’ll earn everything back.”
At that mont, Sunny revealed her strong confidence, a decisive attitude, and the deanor of a corporate elite was fully displayed.
