Chapter 115: The Host’s Glory
Mary Smith hadn’t mentioned yet that the hosts were Alice Brown and Jennifer Hog, but one of the female classmates couldn’t contain her excitement and spilled the beans.
This news absolutely exploded like a bomb, but everyone still had their doubts about its authenticity, especially James Smith, who said in disbelief, "That’s impossible, how could they possibly host John Stephens’ wedding? I’m not looking down on John Stephens, but it’s just a fact."
The girl immediately pointed at James, saying, "He’s the one who invited them, you can ask him if you don’t believe it."
That’s when everyone remembered that James was indeed the one who had found the two hosts, and the look they gave him was filled with amazement.
James, somewhat helplessly, could only smile and say, "Yes, I did get Alice Brown and Jennifer Hog, but I don’t have that much pull. It was our company’s boss who helped me find them."
This statement made most of the people believe him, figuring that as a driver like James, how could he possibly manage to invite Alice Brown and Jennifer Hog, but if it was his boss, then perhaps it really was possible.
"Hey James, you’ve got quite the influence, huh? Your boss actually went to such lengths for you?" Emily chuckled as she patted James on the shoulder.
Mary tilted her head looking at James, smiling as she said, "James, how come you have such great influence? Which company do you work for? It must be quite powerful."
It did feel quite spectacular to be the center of everyone’s attention, and though James wasn’t vain like a child, as a classmate, he felt good about being able to help, and he smiled, "JYPP Region Company, just a small company."
William, still unwilling to concede, said, "James, this sounds a bit unreliable. We’re talking about Alice Brown and Jennifer Hog here, even with money, they’re not just easily hired. Plus, I know about your company, I doubt even your boss has that much pull."
James shrugged and said, "I’m not sure about that, all I know is I don’t have that kind of pull. I just asked our boss, who knows if she got someone else involved."
