Chapter 393 - 400 Emily Lopez’s Cunning Plan Succeeds Again
"Why didn’t Emily come over?" John Brown asked while eating. That little foodie can follow smells here, so it was obviously strange that she didn’t show up today.
Lucy Campbell took a sip of porridge and said, "She had a flying mission this morning and left early. She doesn’t even know I’ve helped her move yet."
Sandra didn’t know Lucy had moved in either, so she immediately grew curious and started asking about it. John Brown explained briefly, and Sandra pouted and kicked him under the table.
John Brown pretended not to notice and didn’t respond to Sandra.
After the meal, everyone headed to the office. Recently, John Brown had stopped driving Lucy Campbell’s Porsche. He felt the car was too flashy, so he started using company vehicles to get to and from work. Lucy had left quite a few cars behind when she joined the company, so nearly every manager had access to one.
Gina Lopez was strict about company regulations, though. Lately, she had issued a rule forbidding personal use of company cars. Even for John Brown to use a car, he had to file paperwork at the office.
While it seemed inconvenient, this significantly reduced waste. After all, maintaining vehicles could cost a company a considerable amount of money.
Still, as the company’s CEO, Gina Lopez had some privileges. She occasionally drove company cars but always followed proper filing procedures. The car John Brown was driving happened to be Gina’s.
In recent days, Gina had discussed buying a car with John. On this matter, Gina was exceptionally considerate — even though it was technically her money, she always consulted John before purchasing anything for their home and never acted entitled.
However, they hadn’t had time recently and hadn’t picked out a car yet. So, they decided to delay the purchase for a while.
The office was relatively quiet today. Lucy Campbell fully demonstrated a secretary’s capabilities, making sure John Brown, as a manager, was entirely at ease.
