Chapter 287 - 294: Catching Red-Handed
Upon arriving at the company, the moment James Brown showed up, numerous people immediately surrounded him, all eagerly inquiring about what had happened.
"There’s no big issue, the Public Security Bureau just made an error, linking me to a case by mistake, but now they know I’m innocent, so I’m back."
James Brown didn’t talk about what had really happened, and such an explanation was also easier for everyone to accept, and even so, they all sent their blessings. After all, being taken away by the Public Security Bureau and returning safely was something worth celebrating.
Returning to his office, there was a steady stream of colleagues coming to visit him, which touched James Brown’s heart. Whether it was genuine concern or pretense, at least they had shown care on the surface.
What gave James Brown a headache, though, was that everyone joked that despite the trouble he had gone through, he had captured Sarah Utah’s heart and gained a huge advantage.
The company’s three great beauties—Gina Lopez, Sunny Nguyen, Sarah Utah—with Sarah being the most down-to-earth, male colleagues in the company loved to flock around her. Now that Sarah was taken, it left many of them quite disappointed. As they joked with James Brown, it was hard to ignore the hint of envy in the voices of many male colleagues.
Finally, after sending everyone away, it was noon. After having lunch in the company canteen, James Brown was thinking of resting in the office when his phone rang.
"Director Green, is something the matter?" James Brown asked solemnly.
"Come to my office, I need to see you," Sunny Nguyen’s tone was very formal.
James Brown responded affirmatively, hung up the phone, excused himself to the two colleagues nearby, and went to Sunny Nguyen’s office on the fifth floor.
As soon as he entered, James Brown locked the door from the inside. Sunny Nguyen calling him over at this time meant it wasn’t for work; she must have wanted to see him.
