Chapter 369: Chapter 376 Emily Lopez’s Nose is So Clever

James Brown first arrived at Emily Lopez’s workplace, and in less than two minutes, Emily Lopez had already sprinted out of the building, found James Brown’s car, opened the passenger door, and sat inside.

While buckling her seatbelt, Emily Lopez said with a grin, "Brother-in-law, you’re really punctual, huh?"

James Brown laughed, "Well, of course, how can I afford to be negligent when it comes to picking up my sister-in-law?"

"You’re absolutely right, if you don’t sweet-talk this little sister-in-law of yours, I’ll make life hard for you and my sister. I can make you a loving couple, or turn you into enemies."

James Brown was amused by Emily Lopez and said, "If your sister heard that, she would be furious."

Emily Lopez giggled, "She won’t mind even if she hears it. She hasn’t even thanked me yet. Hey..." Emily Lopez suddenly leaned closer to James Brown, sniffed a few times, and frowned, "Brother-in-law, this isn’t good."

"What’s the matter?" James Brown immediately felt a bit guilty.

"What’s the matter? Did you meet some other woman this afternoon?" Emily Lopez tilted her head and pouted.

James Brown instantly broke out in a sweat. Emma Campbell had been very careful when he left her place earlier, yet Emily Lopez could still smell it.

"Humph, there’s no use denying it. Let me tell you, my nose is quite keen. Not only is there the scent of another girl on you, but there’s also that kind of... hormonal smell. Clearly, you’ve been up to no good."

James Brown’s eyes suddenly widened like light bulbs, "Could it really be?"

"Of course, it’s true. Even my sister isn’t as sharp as me. So if you want to do something naughty, you’ll have to get past me first. Otherwise, I’ll definitely snitch to my sister and you’ll be in big trouble."

As the number two person in Hawk Squad, James Brown had carried out many missions, many of which were special operations, including disguises and psychological games. Judging by Emily Lopez’s expressions and gaze as she spoke, James Brown knew she was telling the truth. He chuckled nervously and said, "I went back to get some clothes this afternoon, and Emma was there."

"So it was your old girlfriend," Emily Lopez curled her lip, "You’re married to my sister now, and you’re still tangled up with her? Isn’t that going too far?"

Now James Brown was more at ease, "Emily, if it wasn’t for your sister, I would have planned to marry Emma after her graduation. Emma is the girl I’ve liked the most over these years, aside from Melody Yoody. Even though she knows I’m married to your sister, she’s still by my side, unwavering and without a single complaint. How could I just abandon such a girl?"

"No way? She knows you’re married and still stays with you? And she’s not angry?" Emily Lopez looked at James Brown in surprise.

"Yes!" James Brown nodded emphatically and lit a cigarette, "Emma is a good girl."

"Then I really need to have a good talk with her. How could there be such a foolish girl in this world?"

"You’re not going to pressure her, are you?" James Brown frowned.

"Of course not, how could I bear to do that to such a nice girl? I need to help you screen her, brother-in-law. If you’re going to have a mistress, you can’t get past me, your official sister-in-law. That wouldn’t be okay."

James Brown looked at Emily Lopez as if she were an alien, completely baffled by her.

Emily Lopez chuckled, "I know you’re with my sister somewhat reluctantly. If I don’t take care of these worries, you might eventually divorce my sister, and then all my efforts would be in vain. Besides, it’s just a mistress, it’s not a big deal. As long as it doesn’t affect your relationship with my sister, I support you."

"Emily..." James Brown just felt that he couldn’t keep up with Emily Lopez’s thinking.

"Don’t thank me, I’m just legendary," Emily Lopez giggled, then added, "How’s that for a little sister-in-law?"

"Great! Really great." James Brown nodded sincerely, thinking that Emily Lopez must be the best sister-in-law in the world, helping him keep secrets and even having little flirtations with him from time to time.

"Then later, don’t forget to properly thank me, alright? Okay, it’s getting late, let’s go pick up my sister. Otherwise, she’ll be unhappy."

Only then did James Brown start the car, heading for the company. On the way there, Emily Lopez chattered incessantly about the happenings in her office - so cheerful and innocent she seemed to immediately forget about Emma Campbell’s matter completely.

When they arrived at the company building, James Brown and Emily Lopez waited in the car for Gina Lopez. Gina said it would take another twenty minutes before she could come down, and told James and Emily to go home first, but James Brown still wanted to wait for her downstairs by the company. He was really worried about Gina coming home alone these past few days.

Emily Lopez slipped her feet from her shoes, took off her stockings, and with a lift of her leg, brought her foot close to her nose - her flexibility owed to her dance training was apparent.

"Luckily, there’s no smell," Emily Lopez giggled, then turned to her side, leaned against the door, stretched out her legs, and placed her feet on James Brown’s lap.

James Brown was startled and hurriedly said, "Stop it, we’re at the company’s front door."

Emily Lopez, grinning, responded, "What’s there to be afraid of? Your car has a sun film on, and people outside can’t see inside at all. Plus, I’m just asking you to give my feet a rub, not asking you to do anything else, what are you afraid of? Hey, brother-in-law, it’s not like you’re thinking of doing something to me, is it?"

James Brown’s face darkened in an instant as he said, "How would I dare?"

"Hehe, you say you don’t dare, so does that mean you’re actually thinking about it?"

"No! Stop setting traps for me to fall into. I’ve been tricked into marrying your sister by you, what more do you want to trap me into?" James Brown gave Emily Lopez’s foot a pat and put on a stern face.

Emily Lopez immediately burst into laughter, wriggling her feet on James Brown’s legs a couple of times and said, "Hurry up and massage them. When we get home, my sister won’t do it."

James Brown was both annoyed and amused, but truth be told, he quite enjoyed this, so he gently took hold of Emily Lopez’s little foot and started massaging it.

Emily Lopez squinted her eyes, looking thoroughly content.

Ten minutes later, James Brown saw Gina Lopez walk out of the company’s main entrance and quickly said, "Your sister’s coming out."

Emily Lopez swiftly tucked her legs away, sat up straight, slipped on her shoes without wearing any stockings, and gave James Brown a mischievous smile.

James Brown couldn’t help but smile. Having had such encounters with Emily Lopez many times, he no longer felt any psychological burden.

Gina Lopez came over and opened the passenger-side door. Emily Lopez cheerily said to Gina Lopez, "You sit in the back."

Gina Lopez had no choice but to take a seat in the back. She didn’t think much of her sister sitting in the front and said, "Didn’t I tell you to go home first? Why are you still waiting here for me?"

Emily Lopez turned her head and said with a smile, "I was worried you wouldn’t be at ease with just the two of us at home, so we waited here for you."

James Brown couldn’t help the flutter in his stomach; Emily Lopez was such a great actress and could say such things so casually. Even he would have been fooled by Emily Lopez had he not been in the middle of it all.

"What do I have to worry about?" Gina Lopez gave her sister a look. She used to be worried, but now that she was with James Brown, who was brought together by Emily Lopez’s sole effort, how could she possibly suspect that her sister would think anything of James Brown?

James Brown started the car, and the three of them went to the supermarket to buy some groceries. A man walking with a pair of twin sisters indeed garnered a lot of attention.

There are many twins in this world; they normally look very alike when they’re young, but as they grow up, there are some differences in appearance. Moreover, they have large differences in habits and attire, so mistaking one for the other rarely happens. However, Gina Lopez and Emily Lopez still look exactly alike to this day, even their weight shows no difference. In addition to that, Emily Lopez now sports the same large wavy hairstyle as Gina Lopez. Aside from different outfits, the two are virtually indistinguishable, causing many onlookers to marvel in wonder.

Once they got home, James Brown went into the kitchen to cook, and Gina Lopez also came in to help in a proper manner, but she ended up being sent away by James Brown. Cooking was his pleasure, and Gina Lopez’s presence was just making things chaotic.

Emily Lopez received a phone call and began to chit-chat away.

"Sandra, you must come tomorrow, okay? It’s a PARRT hosted by our Principal’s family. It would be really rude if you didn’t show up," said Emily Lopez’s colleague from YODC City, also a dance teacher named Emily Smith, over the phone. The two had a pretty good relationship.

Emily Lopez lay on the couch, having changed into a short nightgown. The hem covered just below the roots of her thighs, and she dangled her feet, picking a grape and stuffing it into her mouth, speaking unclearly as she ate: "Is it gonna be fun?"

"Of course, it’s fun! Our Principal was previously involved in the arts and knows a lot of people. Many celebrities were his students. I heard some stars will be there tomorrow too. Don’t you want to take a look? Besides, you’ve just joined the workplace and took time off recently. The leaders might already be dissatisfied with you. If you don’t attend such an event, they might be even less pleased."

"Then I’ll just go have a look. Do you know which celebrities will be there?"

"I’m not sure about that. You’ll see when you get there. I’ve been looking forward to this day."

"Alright, I’ll go. Do I need to prepare any gifts?"

"No need, Principal Wilson doesn’t lack anything. He’s hosting this PARRT because his son has come back from abroad, it’s a special celebration."

"Okay then, I’ll be there at four o’clock sharp tomorrow afternoon."

Emily Lopez hung up the phone and with bare feet ran into the kitchen, telling James Brown, "Brother-in-law, our Principal is throwing a PARRT tomorrow, and my colleagues asked me to go. I promised them I would."

James Brown chuckled, "Attending a get-together with colleagues is very normal."

Emily Lopez said with a giggle, "I was worried you might disagree. You said today not to go out and about with others."

James Brown poured sauce over a braised fish and said, "I was worried about some random invitations. But such an invitation from your Principal shouldn’t have any issues."

Emily Lopez blinked and suggested, "Then you should accompany me."

James Brown hesitated and said, "Ask your sister. If she agrees, I’ll go with you."
