Chapter 174: The Alliance between the Boss and the Director
Sunny Nguyen’s heart suddenly felt a sour taste, although she never wanted to truly be with James Brown, being with James was quite a joy. She even thought that she could maintain this kind of relationship with James for the rest of her life, greeting each other when needed and leading their own lives otherwise.
Yet, how long had it been since this relationship had to end because James had found a girlfriend? She huffed, dissatisfied, and said, "I was looking for you yesterday, and you were full of excuses."
Gina Lopez, however, furrowed her brow and said, "James Brown, you’re really something, aren’t you? Got yourself a college girl and now you’re ditching Sister Sunny? Isn’t that just the height of irresponsibility?"
James Brown chuckled dryly and said, "I wouldn’t quite say that I’m irresponsibly abandoning Sunny. Our relationship was always about seeking happiness, without thinking about anything else."
Gina Lopez immediately got upset—she knew James had cut ties with the others for his girlfriend, which she considered responsible when it came to feelings. However, she didn’t know James’s girlfriend, but was close to Sunny Nguyen, naturally siding with her. She glared and said, "Humph, a man should take responsibility for his actions. You’re being irresponsible to Sister Sunny."
Sunny Nguyen quickly pulled Gina back, smiling, "Gina, stop it. What James is doing isn’t wrong. He should be responsible for his girlfriend, right? If he kept things unclear with me, that would make him irresponsible. I support him."
Gina Lopez frowned and said, "Sister Sunny, you’re just too good to him. And the jerk doesn’t even appreciate it. What an idiot."
Sunny Nguyen gave a light laugh and said, "I never intended to pursue anything serious with him. It was just a way to lighten the mood, nothing more. If it got too serious, I’d be the one running away."
Seeing how casually Sunny Nguyen spoke, Gina Lopez suddenly felt an indescribable sense of relief, as if that means, even if something happened between her and James Brown, she wouldn’t have to feel guilty toward Sunny Nguyen.
