Chapter 594: Chapter 613: Cousin Visits

John Brown looked around the company this afternoon. He hasn’t spent much time in the company lately, so he needed to understand the security situation here. Although this isn’t a place that particularly requires security protection, the safety of the company’s property is quite important. For the first time, he was seriously treating his role as the head of the security department.

This puzzled the other security guards since John Brown had never been this serious since taking over as the manager of the security department. They wondered what had gotten into him today.

After checking all the floors, John Brown was ready to implement more security measures. Not that they had to be very tight, but definitely, more cameras had to be installed to ensure there were no blind spots in the company. Of course, this applied to public places; offices still needed some privacy. However, full coverage in the corridors would be enough to leave traces of people entering and exiting the offices.

While drafting what needed to be added in the office, outside came a burst of excited male cheers.

"Secretary Smith, why are you here?"

"It’s been so long! I heard from Manager Johnson that you went off to pursue bigger opportunities. You must be developing quite well."

Hearing this, John Brown knew Lucy Campbell had arrived. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be such a lively reaction. Thinking of Lucy Campbell, John Brown suddenly understood why he had become so serious about the company’s security. This company belonged to Lucy Campbell, and after developing such a close relationship with her, he unconsciously started to think of her as his own, naturally treating her company as his own and becoming more earnest about it.

At this moment, the door opened. Lucy Campbell came to his office led by two security guards, dressed casually in autumn attire, her hands behind her back. She smiled at John Brown and said, "Cousin, I’m here to see you."

John Brown smiled and said, "Why aren’t you at work? What are you doing here?"

"Just taking a couple of days off, so I naturally wanted to see you. What are you doing, so serious?" Lucy Campbell came up behind John Brown and casually placed her right hand on his shoulder, peeking at what he was working on.

John Brown lightly patted the back of Lucy Campbell’s hand and said, "I’m enhancing the company’s security."

Lucy Campbell responded with excitement, "Really, cousin, you’re quite serious about work now."

John Brown turned to look at Lucy Campbell and laughed, "I’m earning a salary and occupying a position. I have to work seriously."

"Haha... If my cousin does something, he will certainly do it best. I believe this the most." Saying that, she reached both arms over, rested her elbows on John Brown’s shoulders, and leaned on his back.

Lucy Campbell never used to display such intimate behavior, but now, even in the office with a few security guards present, she did it naturally, and John Brown also felt completely at ease, as if there was an unspoken rapport between them.

In the eyes of those few security guards, at this moment, there was only envy, jealousy, and bitterness towards John Brown. They wished they could pull him away and have Lucy Campbell lean on them instead.

But they could only imagine. Lucy Campbell, such a beauty, in their hearts, was as pure and holy as a Saintess. While they admired her and were fond of her, very few dared to have any inappropriate thoughts about her. Although Lucy Campbell hadn’t been with the company for long, her charisma had already made every man in the company fall for her.

"Cousin..." Lucy Campbell called out, then glanced at the few security guards, hesitant to speak further.

The security guards immediately understood Lucy Campbell’s meaning; she had something to say to John Brown alone. So, they sensibly retreated and closed the door behind them.

Lucy Campbell wrapped her arm around John Brown’s neck and whispered, "James."

John Brown pressed his face against Lucy Campbell’s and gently rubbed it twice, asking, "What’s up?"

Lucy Campbell savored the moment, squinting her eyes in enjoyment. She truly felt like she was in a heated romance with John Brown, but she also knew that if they broke the delicate balance, it would be less clear and more awkward. She softly rubbed against John Brown’s face and said, "Nothing, I just came over to look with no real reason."

"Haha... It’s your company, of course you have to come and see it. Otherwise, Gina and I might ruin your company, and you’ll be at a big loss."

"Oh, I trust Gina’s ability. No way she’ll ruin it for me. I’m staying over at your place tonight."

John Brown laughed, "Trying to snack again?"

"Yes, I’ve been away from here, and the food hasn’t suited my palate. I’ve lost a bit of weight, and I’m here to replenish it."

"No problem at all; your figure is absolutely perfect now."

"Really?" Lucy Campbell asked with a playful smile.

John Brown cleared his throat, "Of course."

"Haha, no man’s ever given such an honest evaluation of my figure before."

Lucy Campbell’s words did indeed give John Brown a sense of accomplishment. This top beauty in SSUP Country only revealed her figure in front of him, and he was the only one to view Lucy Campbell from head to toe, touching and kissing her.

At this time, the voice of a security guard was heard outside, "Mr. Lopez!"

Lucy Campbell immediately stood up straight, and John Brown sat up, looking serious. Lucy Campbell saw John Brown like this and smiled behind him, even pinching his back discreetly.

John Brown pretended not to know, but the feeling was familiar, as if he’d secretly interacted with Emily Lopez, and she would always do the same thing afterward. Now, besides Emily Lopez, there’s another Lucy Campbell.

Gina Lopez entered the office and was slightly surprised to see Lucy Campbell. She closed the door and said, "Lucy, why are you here?"

Lucy Campbell chuckled lightly, saying, "I’m free today, so I came to have a look. I first sat with James Brown when I saw him here."

Gina Lopez didn’t suspect anything and replied, "James has been grateful for your care these past couple of days."

"No need to be formal with me; we know what kind of relationship we have. Now that James is alright, I’ll be at your place this evening to indulge a bit."

"That won’t be a problem," Gina Lopez eagerly agreed.

Lucy Campbell then smiled and asked, "Did you come to see James, or do you have business to discuss?"

Gina Lopez blushed but didn’t deny it, "I’m just here to check on him. I heard he inspected the floors earlier, and I’m worried his leg wound might reopen."

Lucy Campbell chuckled softly, saying, "You’re his wife, of course, you should care more about him. Otherwise, this guy will easily attract attention from others."

Gina Lopez glanced at John Brown and said, "Yes, this guy is quite a worry, always flirting with some vixens."

Gina Lopez felt at ease speaking in this manner as she already had a close relationship with Lucy Campbell, so she wasn’t cautious with her words. In her eyes, anyone with ambiguous ties to John Brown naturally resembled vixens, but she said it without particular intent, although Lucy Campbell felt it keenly, blushing. At this moment, she wasn’t exactly one of those vixens.

Gina Lopez didn’t notice anything unusual about Lucy Campbell and even if she did, she certainly wouldn’t suspect any connection between Lucy Campbell and John Brown. Lucy Campbell was not only holy and untouchable in the eyes of men, but even women like Gina Lopez regarded her as nearly unattainable. No ordinary man could hope to intimately connect with her, even if John Brown was perhaps considered the best among ordinary men.

"By the way, Mr. Smith, I’ve been negotiating the development of overseas markets these days. I wanted to talk to you about it."

Lucy Campbell laughed and said, "Great, we can have a good chat. I’ve always been optimistic about this project and believe it has great potential. Yet, I haven’t immediately pursued overseas markets; it seems you’ve beaten me to it."

Gina Lopez immediately said, "Mr. Smith, my planning might be immature. My thought is..."

Lucy Campbell listened to Gina Lopez and nodded frequently. These ideas were indeed comprehensive. Gina Lopez’s capability truly impressed her. Alongside Lucy Campbell’s own ability and charisma, one main reason her business had grown so large was her sharp eye for talent. She could find people to manage things for her, and Lucy Campbell had to admit that Gina Lopez ranked among the top few managers within her companies.

"Gina, your thoughts are excellent. I have no further suggestions, so go ahead and implement them."

Gina Lopez nodded upon hearing this and said, "If Mr. Smith has no objections, I’ll make the arrangements."

Lucy Campbell smiled and replied, "Can I possibly not trust your abilities? From now on, you don’t need to request instructions from me. Just do as you see fit."

Gina Lopez was moved and nodded strongly. As a senior executive, what she feared most was too much interference from above. Since Lucy Campbell handed over the company for her management, she had basically never intervened and now gave her complete freedom. Meeting a boss like this made Gina Lopez feel like she had found a kindred spirit.

Loyalty to a worthy cause, Gina Lopez felt it deeply. She wouldn’t hesitate to dedicate herself to Lucy Campbell.

However, if she knew Lucy Campbell’s actions were not only recognizing her abilities but also involving her interest in her husband, it would be interesting to see how Gina Lopez would respond. Would she straightforwardly give John Brown over to Lucy Campbell?
