Chapter 526 - 536: Just Like Being Managed by You
John Brown laughed heartily and said, "With County Magistrate Johnson being such a parent official, how could I dare to disagree?"
Melody Yoody raised her hand and gave John Brown a tap on the head, saying, "Wishful thinking! If anyone’s being kept, it’d be you keeping me, you little security guard still daring to speak such big words."
Melody Yoody’s words seemed quite hurtful, but classmates joking around like this usually mean they’re the closest. If they’re not close, joking can easily cause discord. This actually showed her close relationship with John Brown.
Melody Yoody arrived and stole the spotlight from everyone, humorously chatting and becoming the center of attention for all.
Alice Brown said at this time, "Everyone, we’re busy, we have other matters to attend to, so we’ll be leaving first."
Melody Yoody quickly said, "Don’t, as soon as I arrive you’re leaving, it feels like I’m chasing you away. Stay a little longer, and besides, look at someone’s enjoying themselves right now; if you leave like this, won’t it make someone feel a bit down?"
Alice Brown and Laura felt a bit embarrassed, but John Brown smiled and said, "Alright, Melody, don’t disparage me anymore. Alice, Laura, stay a while longer."
With John Brown’s approval, Alice Brown and Laura sat back down. As long as John Brown didn’t mind, they certainly wanted to spend more time with him, but with Melody Yoody present, they dared not talk recklessly, avoiding causing trouble for John Brown.
Melody Yoody didn’t sit next to John Brown; everyone had already vacated the main seat for her, as a sign of respect. Next to her was Michael Davis, the two of them being the most esteemed in the class.
Regarding Melody Yoody’s promotion to Deputy County Chief, everyone enthusiastically expressed their congratulations. Michael Davis first raised his glass and said, "Melody, I wanted to follow your footsteps, but you’ve left us far behind again. This drink is my toast to you, please take good care of us in the future!"
Melody Yoody smiled slightly and said, "Taking care of old classmates is surely not a problem, but I’ll skip the drink, recently I quit drinking."
