The Supreme Soldier in the City

Before knocking off in the evening, James Brown already wanted to leave the company early, as he was genuinely afraid that Gina Lopez would ask him to stay at her place. Even though they had lived together countless times before, now James simply couldn’t face Gina alone, especially in the confines of a home.

However, before he could leave, his phone rang—it was Gina Lopez calling.

James wanted to ignore the call, but thinking that avoiding it wasn’t a solution, he answered and said, "Mr. Lopez, what’s the matter?"

Gina’s response was brief, "Wait for me after work."

"I have plans tonight, I’m going out to dinner with some friends."

"Then I’ll join you."

"That wouldn’t be appropriate; there will be colleagues from our company, don’t you prefer not to let others know?"

"Anyone going out to dine with you must be in a good relationship with you, and wouldn’t gossip about it."

James rolled his eyes and reluctantly said, "Suit yourself then."

Gina slowed her tone, saying, "James, don’t avoid me. I won’t pressure you, but you have to give us some time to get along."

"Are you really not pressuring me?"
