Chapter 256 - 261: Courting Disaster
"Why didn’t you call me?" James Brown asked Emily Lopez with a smile.
Emily Lopez pouted her lips and said, "Your phone is with my sister. When I called you, she was the one who answered and gave me an earful."
James Brown then remembered that his cellphone was with Gina Lopez. No wonder the afternoon was so quiet. He chuckled and said, "I forgot to take it when I went to your sister’s place just now. Let’s hurry out to dinner."
"Sure!" Emily Lopez linked her arm with James Brown’s, and the two of them walked shoulder to shoulder towards the door.
They had barely walked a few steps when it was time to leave work. Gina Lopez went to James Brown’s office to find him but he wasn’t there. When she asked the HR department, they said James Brown had left more than ten minutes ago. She was immediately annoyed.
When she reached the entrance of the company, she noticed several security guards looking at her with extremely strange expressions. She frowned and asked, "What’s the matter with you guys?"
The security guards quickly shook their heads and stuttered, "Nothing... Nothing at all."
Gina Lopez had a thought and asked, "Did you just see someone who looks like me here?"
The security guards were puzzled by Gina Lopez’s question, but one of them, a bit smarter, quickly said, "Yes, just now we saw a girl who looked exactly like Mr. Lopez leaving with Manager Johnson. That person was definitely not you."
Gina Lopez’s face darkened and with a wave of her hand, she strode out of the company. The security guards quietly asked the one who had spoken, "What’s going on here?"
"Don’t you see? Mr. Lopez doesn’t want others to know she’s dating Manager Johnson. Keep your mouths shut, everyone. If anyone lets this slip, we’re all going to lose our jobs."
