Chapter 109 Host
In the car, James Brown learned about the role he was now supposed to play—a wealthy scion with a hefty fortune, still unmarried. He had never wanted to take over the family business, instead loafing around in YODC City. But now that Lucy Campbell was starting her business here, he had no choice but to come over and help.
This provided a plausible reason for James Brown’s presence in YODC City. Even if some of the heavy hitters in YODC City recognized Lucy Campbell and saw her together with James Brown, it would still make sense. Clearly, Lucy had thought everything through.
At this moment, however, James Brown gave Lucy Campbell a wry look and said, "Why do I feel like you’ve lured me into your pirate ship?"
Lucy Campbell giggled and responded, "Who else do I trust in YODC City if not you? If you don’t help me, who will?"
"My heavens, if others knew that you, Lucy Campbell, could be so willful, I wonder how many hearts would be shattered."
"I’m a girl, aren’t I? Being willful is in our nature, do you have a problem with that?"
"No complaints, no complaints!" James Brown also laughed heartily, finding this side of Lucy Campbell truer and more relaxing for him.
As for James Brown, playing the role of a rich young master was a breeze, something Lucy Campbell clearly understood as well, so she didn’t elaborate on that aspect.
At seven o’clock, James Brown and Lucy Campbell arrived at the very famous L Hotel in YODC City. The establishment operated on a membership system; without a membership card, unless accompanied by a member, it was pretty much impossible to get in.
And the annual membership fee was seventy thousand dollars, and that was just for the membership. Dining there was also extremely expensive, and ordinary rich people couldn’t afford to frequent it.
Yet such an exclusive venue only made people more eager to enter, as it was a symbol of status and a demonstration of power. As a result, the business of L Hotel was surprisingly good.
