The Sweet Pursuit by Golden Autumn
Chapter 158

Calvin's face turned ashen. Although he did not understand why James was angry, he quickly adapted to the circumstances and smiled obsequiously while saying, "Yes, my mind must've been muddled from drinking. Please don't stoop to my level, J!" At this moment, Cassidy, who heard the news from Winter, came in and asked carefully," What happened here?"

She only saw James after she was done talking and was slightly taken aback. "You're here as well, Mr. Collins!"

"Mm. Mr. Leander here wanted to buy me a drink, so I came by," said James in a low voice. Cassidy turned her head to look at Calvin and said, "Suzy is new here, so if she has offended you in any way, Mr. Leander, please don't take it to heart. At least for my sake."

Seeing that James was defending Suzy, he did not dare to nitpick any longer and said in embarrassment, "It's truly alright!"

Seeing that Calvin was keeping his mouth shut even after receiving that slap, the others naturally did not dare to speak up as well.

James looked at Suzy and said, "Come with me!"

Winter's gaze fell on Suzy curiously. At first, when she saw Suzy hit Calvin, she thought that the matter would be blown out of proportion today and Suzy would definitely get fired. Unexpectedly, James appeared and resolved the matter with just a few words.

Was James acquainted with Suzy?

Meanwhile, Suzy herself was rather taken aback. She did not know this person named James Collins at all, so why did he help her?

Cassidy gave Suzy a look and said, "Mr. Collins has asked for you. Hurry and go." Suzy nodded slightly and followed James out the door. Then, the two went to Room 8809. James sat down, his attitude friendly and gentle. "Do sit down, Ms. Shirley!" Suzy proceeded to thank him as soon as she sat down. "Thank you!" James smiled with his thin lips. "You're welcome. But why are you here?". Suzy said, "I'm working here. It's my first day. Do you know me?"

James smiled at her. "I know George!" Suzy suddenly remembered that back on Sherman's birthday, James seemed to have spoken to George outside the door, James took out a cigarette and asked Suzy, "May I smoke?" Suzy nodded, "Please do as you wish!" James lit a cigarette, took a puff, and asked with a smile, "Does George know you're here?" Suzy replied, "He doesn't."

"Are you two still fighting? Because of Sherman's birthday?" Suzy did not know how close the relationship between James and George was, so she kept silent, not wanting to reveal anything. James asked her, "Do you like Sherman?"

Suzy said it bluntly, "No."

James calmly replied, "Then I advise you to stay away from him. He's not a good person, and he changes his girlfriends more frequently than the number of times he changes his outfits. Moreover, he and George have always been at odds with each other. If you get close to

Sherman, George will naturally be angry." Suzy's eyes were crystal clear. She said in a low voice, "I owed Sherman a favor, so I promised to help him deliver a cake. I didn't know that it was his birthday." James thought for a moment and asked, "Say, that favor you owe him... It's not about Sena, is. it?"

Suzy asked in surprise, "How'd you know about that?"

James smiled lightly. "This circle's not too small, nor is it too big. Anything that's known by a few will spread quickly by everyone in the circle. Sena might've been sent abroad by Sherman, but he's not the only one who took revenge for you."

Suzy looked at him, completely puzzled. "After your little incident, George found out that Sena was the one behind everything. He rounded up the people who tried to abduct you and beat them to a pulp. He even imprisoned Sena for seven days, almost killing her!" After James was done talking, he saw Suzy's shocked expression and raised his eyebrows. He asked, "You didn't know about this?" Suzy shook her head. "I didn't."

James chudded. "George has always been like this. He refuses to share anything and doesn't know the way to a woman's heart."

Suzy blushed. "He.truly didn't tell me anything." "Well, since he didn't mention it, just pretend that you don't know about it. If he replaces out that I let it slip, he might turn against me." James smiled and said, "Do you want me to tell him that you're working here?"
