The Supreme Soldier in the City

"Sister Sunny, come over to my place tonight. I’ve got some things I want to talk to you about... Yeah, I should be able to get back in about half an hour; just come over then." After hanging up the phone, Gina Lopez looked triumphantly at James Brown and said, "How about that, shouldn’t you thank me? I’m even providing you with a room, saving you the money you’d spend on a hotel."

James Brown gave a wry smile and replied, "Boss, don’t you see? Good intentions but bad outcomes."

"What do you mean, good intentions but bad outcomes?" Gina glared at James and said, "You think I don’t know how you men think? After you’ve had your fill, wipe your mouth and deny it all. Let me tell you, that won’t do. Sunny is my close friend, and she’s just been hurt. I won’t let you hurt her again."

"It was fine as it was, but with you meddling, this might actually hurt her."

"Enough with your smooth talk." Gina, always assertive and inexperienced in matters of love, didn’t believe a word James was saying.

After shopping, Gina paid the bill, while James was happy to reap the benefits. These clothes also counted as props, so it made sense for Gina to buy them. Besides, she chose rather expensive clothes; he couldn’t cover the expense with a month’s salary if he wanted to.

They took the elevator to Gina’s floor, and as soon as they exited, they saw Sunny Nguyen. Sunny was first surprised, then somewhat embarrassed to see them together.

"Sister Sunny, I apologize for making you wait." Gina greeted Sunny with a smile, unlocked the door, and invited Sunny in.

"Go put away the clothes; I want to have a word with Sister Sunny," Gina ordered James while pulling Sunny onto the sofa.

James shook his head helplessly and went into Gina’s room. The clothes were obviously meant for Gina’s wardrobe to show Emily Lopez.
