Chapter 303: Chapter 311 Mischievous Sarah Utah

The three of them didn’t fish on the rocks for long before the tide rose within an hour, submerging the rocks underwater.

They were already back on the beach, with Gina Lopez still letting James Brown carry her on his back, and even in front of Sarah, she wrapped her arms around James’s neck just the same.

As the tide came in, it also meant the end of collecting seafood by the shore. Soon, the company’s large group returned, and the male employees couldn’t help but feel envious of James Brown sitting with Gina Lopez and the beauty Sarah.

Everyone came over to ask about Gina’s injury. Although companies and government offices are different, one thing remains the same: subordinates always show loyalty and flattery to their superiors. If you don’t even come forward to show concern when the leader has injured their foot, how could you expect to get ahead in the company?

Even though Gina has always been about employing people based on ability, for the employees, how well they could perform at this moment was naturally a very important matter.

Gina had injured her foot, but Emily Lopez hardly paid any attention. If Gina had really been badly injured, she wouldn’t be able to lounge on the beach so comfortably. Emily knew her sister all too well, so she didn’t need to worry.

What Emily was most concerned about now was whether there had been any progress between James Brown and Gina in the meantime. Pulling James aside, Emily spoke with a stern face: "Did you do something to my sister just now?"

Since Emily had been too concerned about Gina and James’s matters last time, raising Gina’s suspicions, Emily felt her actions were a bit too obvious. Thus, her attitude towards James today was like a girlfriend interrogating her boyfriend.

As for the twins Gina and Emily, James felt closer to Emily. So even when she spoke in such a tone, he responded with a grin: "What could I possibly do with your sister?"

"Hmph, let me tell you, you’re not allowed to mess around with my sister, or else I won’t stand for it."

"You little rascal, what can you do if you don’t stand for it? Come on, let me see how much you’ve caught. I’m counting on you for today’s lunch."

At this mention, Emily immediately perked up and held up the bamboo basket beside her, saying, "Look, my basket is full."

James Brown lifted the lid to check, and indeed, it was filled to the brim with fine seafood. He laughed and said, "Turns out you’re quite the pro, Sandra, almost like someone who was born and bred by the sea."

Sandra giggled and said, "You think I’m that capable? It’s all thanks to my elder sister. The employees were all trying to please me, giving me all the good things they caught."

James had already guessed as much, but for Sandra to candidly admit it showed that she wasn’t vain or pretentious. He laughed: "Then I’m also going to benefit by association, aren’t I?"

"No problem, this bamboo basket is all yours. I’m counting on you to cook for me at noon." Just thinking about James’s chef-level cooking skills made Sandra swallow hard. To ensure she could enjoy such a treat, she had to keep her sister and James together and not let James slip away.

It’s not even ten o’clock yet, the sunlight is ample, and with the tide coming in, the water has also warmed up. It’s the perfect time for a swim, so everyone eagerly dashed into the sea.

Gina wanted to swim with James, but that guy had already dashed into the sea early, leaving her with no options. As the boss, she couldn’t very well call out specially for James to take care of her.

As long as James wasn’t with Gina, he felt very relaxed, swimming back and forth in the sea. Seeing how swiftly James swam, some female colleagues exclaimed and wanted James to teach them swimming, but when they saw Sarah nearby, they all giggled and pushed Sarah towards James.

"Big Brother Brown, let’s... swim together," Sarah’s face blushed, her courage boosted by today’s conversation with Gina.

In front of others, James naturally couldn’t refuse Sarah and smiled, "Sure, let’s swim towards the deeper part. I’ll take care of you."

"Okay!" Sarah’s eyes lit up and she swam ahead. Although she could swim, it was just enough to keep herself from sinking—no technique or speed involved. But with James by her side, she feared nothing, confident even to swim to the deepest part of the ocean.

James leisurely followed by Sarah’s side and soon they were quite far out, where the water was much deeper, and people couldn’t touch the bottom when standing.

"Sarah, the water is very deep here, let’s swim back," James suggested.

Sarah, unable to speak while swimming, clumsily turned around in the water, but once she turned, she realized how far away she was from the shore and instinctively panicked, feeling as if her strength was drained. After struggling for a moment, she felt even weaker.

Seeing Sarah like this, James immediately went to grab her arm, and Sarah wrapped her arms around James’s neck, clinging onto him.

With just his legs treading water, James was steadily afloat on the surface and joked, "Sarah, are you trying to be a koala?"

Sarah, clinging onto James, calmed down from her panic, but turned bright red with embarrassment at James’s teasing. She wanted to let go, but didn’t dare to; if she held on, it felt too intimate to be this close to James.

"Alright, relax a bit. I’ll hold your arm and lead you as we swim back," said John Brown.

Sarah Utah quickly agreed and let go of John Brown’s neck, despite her affection for him, hugging him like this made her feel too embarrassed.

John Brown supported Sarah Utah’s arm with one hand, and without any effort on her part, she was able to float on the water surface. With just a little paddling of her hands and feet, she could swim away easily, which was really a breeze.

"Sarah, what did Mr. Lopez say to you just now?" John Brown asked with a smile as he slowly swam with Sarah.

"Mr. Lopez said..." Sarah turned her head to look at John Brown, suddenly grinned mischievously, and said, "Why don’t you go ask Mr. Lopez?"

John Brown looked at Sarah in surprise and said, "You actually want me to go ask Mr. Lopez?"

Sarah said with a giggle, "Yeah, you’re so familiar with Mr. Lopez, he’ll definitely tell you if you ask."

John Brown rolled his eyes and said, "Sarah, you’ve gone bad, really bad."

Sarah laughed out loud and said, "Is that what you call going bad?"

John Brown stated with feigned distress, "Of course, you used to be such an honest and gentle girl, and now you’ve even learned to conceal things."

This time Sarah’s laughter rang out like a clear bell, she laughed several times before saying, "Big Brother Brown, stop tempting me now, I really can’t tell."

John Brown was amused by Sarah’s laughter. This Sarah, who was not as obedient as the old Sarah, was even more adorable. He said, "Okay, if you don’t want to say it, then don’t."

Sarah felt a bit embarrassed when John Brown stopped asking, pursed her lips and whispered softly, "I can only tell you that I also know that Mr. Lopez likes you."

"She sure has the nerve to say that, okay, I guess you two have formed some kind of alliance, I can’t be bothered to ask anymore. But Sarah, you can’t emulate Mr. Lopez, otherwise, I would really be scared of you."

"No way, I am just being myself."

Sarah smiled sweetly, she didn’t feel any rejection from John Brown’s words, and that made her very satisfied.

After escorting Sarah back, Sarah was quite tired and couldn’t swim anymore, so she stayed in the shallow area and played with her colleagues. The fact that she had been able to swim alone with John Brown for a while made her feel very content.

John Brown was about to enjoy a good swim when someone kicked his leg. He turned his head to see Sunny Nguyen giving him a glare before she turned and swam towards the deep area.

John Brown immediately followed, and when they were far enough from others, he swam next to Sunny, placed his hand on her waist, and smiled, "Sunny, what did you call me for?"

"Oh, you remember I exist. Playing around with one then another, I thought you had completely forgotten about me," Sunny’s words carried a sour tone,

John Brown’s hand slid down and pinched Sunny’s buttocks twice, saying with a chuckle, "How could I forget, with just one look from you, didn’t I obediently come over?"

Sunny threw John Brown a seductive look and said, "Really? Then why did you come over with me?"

John Brown glanced around, then hugged Sunny in the water, and whispered into her ear, "Do you want to try what it feels like in the sea?"

"Ah!" Sunny’s face turned red as she looked at John Brown, but she was visibly excited. She looked around and said, "How can we do it here? What if someone sees us?"

"No one will, we can hide behind that rock over there," John Brown pointed at the rocks.

Sunny pinched John Brown’s swim trunks playfully and said with feigned helplessness, "You big pervert, always thinking about such things."

John Brown chuckled and replied, "With a beauty like Sunny around, it would be insane not to think about it." As he spoke, he quickly took Sunny’s hand and dived under the water, heading swiftly towards the rocks.

Sunny almost choked on water, but John Brown’s lips had already sealed hers, and while kissing her, he even managed to give her some air. This made Sunny feel an incredible thrill, and she wrapped her arms and legs around John Brown’s body like an octopus.
