Chapter 128: A Different Feeling
James Brown and Emily Lopez left the café, both bursting into laughter—they had intentionally set up Helen Wilson.
"Brother-in-law, why does Officer Monaghan seem to have a grudge against you?" Sitting in the car, Emily Lopez asked James with a smile. She felt obliged to scrutinize any beautiful woman who got close to James—it was her responsibility to watch out for her sister since James, her brother-in-law, was becoming more impressive by the day, and she had to ensure no other woman stole him away.
As James drove, he chuckled, "I had a bit of a misunderstanding with her before, so she still thinks I’m a bad guy. No matter how much I try to explain, it’s useless. She always picks on me, so of course, I have to tease her back when I get the chance. But don’t worry—she’s now a deputy station chief, she earns a lot, a few dollars, she can afford it."
Emily tapped her chin lightly and said, "Brother-in-law, you seem to attract a lot of attention. I’ve been out with you for just half a day, and I’ve already seen two beauties entangled with you. I wonder how many more people have issues with you."
"Sis, there’s nothing like that. I’m devoted to your sister, and even if there were other wonderful women, my heart wouldn’t waver. Besides, in my eyes, your sister is absolutely the best."
Emily giggled, "You should save those words for my sister. But brother-in-law, how do you think my performance was just now? Did I look like a CEO?"
"Very much so. I couldn’t even tell if it was you or your sister!"
Emily’s eyes darted around as she said, "Brother-in-law, I have a really fun idea."
"What idea?" James was a bit afraid of this faux sister-in-law’s ideas.
"What if I go to the company and pretend to be my sister for a few days? Wouldn’t that be fun?"
James suddenly frowned, "Would your sister agree to that?"
