Chapter 189 Melody Yoody’s Attitude
After a busy Friday, just before he knocked off work, James Brown surprisingly received a call from Melody Yoody. It caught him off guard, and mixed feelings arose within him. Even though he felt he had moved past their relationship, Melody’s call stirred his emotions once again.
When he answered the call, James Brown spoke with a smile, "Mayor Smith, what made you think of calling me today?"
James’s tone was laid-back, and so was Melody’s as she retorted jokingly, "What, you dumped me and you’re in a good mood?"
"Melody, this..." James hesitated, unsure how to respond. After all, their former relationship was an undeniable fact, and no matter the separation, it seemed Melody was the one who ended up hurt.
"Haha, I’m just kidding, don’t mind me. No matter what, we had our happy moments. I don’t want us to become enemies over some issues. Even if you don’t want to be lovers again, we should still be friends, right?"
James understood Melody’s assertive nature. Her words were a bit surprising for him. "Melody, is that really how you feel?"
"Of course, it’s true. Why would I lie to you? I was strong-willed and persistent before, but love isn’t something you can force. Over the years, we’ve both changed so much. It would be too forced for us to stay together. I’ve come to terms with it. If we are meant to be, it will happen naturally. If not, forcing it won’t help."
"Melody, I’m glad you can think this way," James felt relieved upon hearing her say this.
"Come on, don’t be so sour. That’s not like you."
"Haha, you’re right." James laughed heartily. He wouldn’t want to become enemies with Melody. If not lovers, then being best friends was what James hoped for most.
"By the way, I called you to talk about something serious. It’s about your job. What are you thinking? Do you want to become a civil servant? I was your squad leader before, and now I’d like to be your boss, keep on managing you. Without someone to manage you, you might just fly off the handle."
