Chapter 166 Conspiracy
Sarah held a large box in her arms that weighed about eighty-eight pounds. While it wasn’t very heavy for an adult man, for a girl like Sarah, it was indeed burdensome.
Normally, there were laborers to help with the heavy lifting, but knowing how tight the schedule was at the company, especially in the logistics department, she needed to have all the equipment ready before a large number of employees came in. So, she decided to carry what she could to save a little time.
The laborers, all strong, burly men, couldn’t help but admire the beautiful girl working just as hard as they were, which made them too embarrassed to slack off.
"Ouch!" The box was so big that Sarah couldn’t see her feet and didn’t notice what she tripped over, causing her body to suddenly lurch forward. Yet, she tenaciously held on to the box, attempting to turn her body to prevent it from crashing onto the floor. After all, it contained important electronic equipment, and breaking it would mean losing a substantial amount of money.
Sarah’s body was already tilted backward at a thirty-degree angle to the ground when suddenly an arm caught her around the waist and pulled her upright.
"Oh! Big Brother Brown!" Sarah cried out in surprise.
James Brown frowned and said, "This box is so heavy; why are you moving it yourself when we’ve hired many people?"
Embarrassed, Sarah replied, "I was just trying to save some time."
Her reply made James feel a bit guilty. Seeing Sarah work so hard while he— a grown man—was slacking off, he promptly took the box from her and said, "Alright, my department is free today; I might as well help you. You just focus on directing."
Sarah nodded her head and said, "I really appreciate it, Big Brother Brown."
"What are you thanking me for? We are friends after all. I can’t just watch you struggle. Okay, no more chitchat, just tell me where to move this."
