âDonât worry, as long as you donât give yourself away, 1 wonât say a thing.â
âOkay, then Iâm heading up.â
Reassured by her words, Greg Jensen went back to the managerâs office.
After a while, there was a knock on the door, and Amber Hall walked in.
In just that short time, she had changed into a black long dress.
The form-fitting dress perfectly showcased her wasp waist and pert posterior, especially the section of her calf exposed beneath the hem, creating a stark contrast with the black dress.
Greg was momentarily stunned and swallowed hard.
Seeing this, Amber couldnât help feeling a bit smug. She turned around, locked the office door, and then sat on Gregâs lap.
She wrapped her arms around Gregâs neck and said with a charming smile, âHave you missed me after all this time?â
âMissed you, of course, 1 have.â
Greg ran his hand over her form and then caressed up her leg.
âHey, are you getting bolder? This is the office, you know.â
âWhatâs there to fear, youâre still here⦠mmmâ¦â
Before Greg could finish, Amber kissed him, igniting the fire in his heart. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The suppressed longing from their time apart exploded in that moment.
After a good deal of intimate contact, they finally stopped, gasping for breath.
âYou didnât come here just for this, did you?â Amber asked with a chuckle.
Greg laughed, âNothing big. Iâm going to checkout the new storeâs renovations later, and you can come along to get familiar with it.â
âOh, alright.â
Amber hesitated, âGreg, are you really planning on putting me in charge of those four new stores?â
âWhy? Are you scared?â
â1⦠just fear 1 might not do well, and what if we lose money?â
Greg laughed, âDonât worry, as long as you work hard, we definitely wonât lose money.â
Peach Blossom Supermarket now had nearly five thousand members, with an average balance of five hundred yuan on each membership card.
Once the branches opened, these members could shop at their convenience without having to come to the main store.
Moreover, as convenience increased, word-of-mouth would attract more members.
With these members as a foundation, it would be difficult for the branches to lose money.
Most importantly, the new branches were smaller, so labor and storefront costs were low. Just a bit of sales would be enough to cover all expenses.
How could such stores possibly lose money?
After touring the branches with Amber and explaining the intricacies to her, she finally felt relieved.
âGreg, how come I find you getting smarter?â Amber said, looking at him.
Greg retorted, â1 was stupid before, and now that Iâve become smarter, naturally, 1 think about more things.â
âRight, I almost forgot, youâre the only college graduate in our village.
Realizing this, Amber couldnât help but give a mischievous smile, âAlthough I never went to college, I have beenâ¦â
Gregâs face turned dark immediately, and he feigned anger, âShut up and hold back the rest of your words. A decent woman talking like that all the time, what would it look like?â
âHaha, alright, Iâll stop.â
After dropping Amber off at the fruit and vegetable supermarket, Greg drove back to Love Home Garden only to find that Lois Abbott was still lounging in bed.
He was instantly furious and gave her bare behind a couple of slaps.
âOw, what are youâ¦â
âItâs almost eleven oâclock, get up already.â
Lois suddenly woke with a start, âOh my, itâs so late already. Iâve been sleeping so well today.â
âYouâre practically sleeping like a pig,â said Greg, resigned.
Lois Abbott snorted coldly, âWho told you to stay up so late.â
âAlright, alright, itâs my faultâ¦â
Greg Jensen forced a smile and said, âHurry up and get up, Iâll go make some breakfast.â
After saying that, he went to the kitchen, pondering what to prepare, when he saw Loisâs sister, Amber Hall, stumbling out, still half asleep.
She was wearing only shorts and a tank top, the contours of a young girl barely concealed, and those long, white, slender legs made Gregâs bloodline surge.
âBrother-in-law, good morning.â
âMorning my ass, what time do you think it is now?
Amber Hall walked up, wrapped her arms naturally around Gregâs neck, and whispered coquettishly, âAww, I played video games too late last night.â A wisp of fragrance lingered around his nose, and Greg couldnât help but shiver.
Little vixen!
Greg felt a bit melancholic, sensing that the bewitching energy at home was getting stronger by the day.
He was truly afraid that one day, he would fall prey to this vixen, Amber.
âBe good, stop fooling around, your sister will be out soon.â
Amber replied slyly, âWhatâs to fear? Maybe my sister would be happy to see me like this?â
âGet back and put some clothes on properly. If your sister sees you like this, sheâll definitely argue with me.â
âOh come on, 1 already told you my sister doesnât care.â
Greg said sternly, âAre you going to change or not? If you donât, I will get angry.â
âFine, Iâm going, okay? Honestlyâ¦â
Amber pouted and unwillingly went back to her room.
Greg let out a long sigh and said helplessly, âThis girl is getting more and more troublesome.â
He shook his head and started cooking.
It was quite some time before the two sisters got themselves ready and came out of their room, only to find that the dining table was already set with three dishes and a soup.
Stir-fried tomatoes and eggs, sweet and sour ribs, garlic broccoli, and seaweed egg drop soup.
Though they were just homemade dishes, Gregâs cooking was quite good. The aroma of the food made the sistersâ eyes light up instantly.
âStart with some soup to settle your stomach.â
Greg served two bowls of soup and placed them in front of them.
Amberâs eyes sparkled as she exaggeratedly exclaimed, âWow, brother-in-law, how did you make this soup? Itâs so delicious!â
Greg laughed, âTo make the sweet and sour ribs, you have to first boil the ribs and then deep-fry the skin until itâs crispy. 1 used the broth from boiling the ribs for this seaweed egg drop soup.â
âBrother-in-law is awesome. If only my future boyfriend could be as great as you.â
As Amber said this, she deliberately glanced at her sister.
Lois, perhaps reminded of something, her face flushed red, and she glared at her sister, saying scoldingly, âJust eat, eating wonât stop your mouth running.â âHehe, got it.â
Amber chuckled, then turned to look at Greg, giving him a sly wink while she subtly stretched out a small foot and brushed it against his leg.
Greg stiffened, pretending as if he hadnât noticed, and continued to eat.
Right at that moment, Norman Holmes suddenly called.
Greg quickly picked up and asked with a smile, âSecond Bro, whatâs up? Why are you calling me so early?â
However, the voice that came through was Jaylene Riverâs, and it was tinged with sobs: âMr. Jensen, Norman⦠he was badly beaten up by someone last night and is now lying in the hospital.
The doctor said he might not make it. Are you free? Could you come to the hospital to see him?â
Gregâs expression changed immediately, and he said hastily, âSister-in-law, donât panic; 1â11 be right there.â
Seeing the change in his expression, Lois asked, âWhatâs wrong?â
âNorman was beaten up. Iâm going to the hospital now. If you two donât have other plans, just stay at home, and donât wander off,â instructed Greg as he took Loisâs car and drove off to Riverhaven Hospital..
