CEO's Reborn Wife

Chapter 374: Chapter 382: It’s Not a Big Deal

James Black listened patiently to Jane Sampson’s speech, no matter what she said. He just listened, sometimes murmuring ’Mhm’ quietly as a response to let her know he was still listening.

Once Jane had finished speaking, he spoke again, ”Call me before you come back, and I’ll pick you up.”

”Sure.” Jane agreed obediently, but inside she kept mumbling to herself, wondering why James seemed to be getting more and more naggy.

After ending the video, Jane immediately sat up and stretched her limbs. Where was the look of being too full to move now?

It was only because she feared that if she didn’t change the subject, James would keep harping on about her previous mistake and stay angry. But at that moment, she couldn’t find another topic to distract him, so she brought up the story of her feeling stuffed, using a deliberately coquettish tone. In fact, Jane had already taken stomach-soothing digestive tablets at the Carter Family’s place, and after sitting in a car for half an hour on her way back, she was already feeling better.

After putting her mobile phone away, Jane directly entered the bathroom. She had to go to James Carter’s studio tomorrow, so she definitely needed to rest early today to maintain her best condition.

The early morning routine of the guard team began with wakeup calls, followed by morning training. After training, James headed to the dining hall for breakfast. Peter Gingery and a few others were standing with Lieutenant Johnson, chatting and looking quite excited and happy.

James got his breakfast and walked over to the group, casually asking, ”What are you talking about?”

”Oh, we’re discussing the participant list sent by the show. This morning, the show’s staff delivered all the participant information to the guard team, and it’s with me now. I was just about to take it over for review by the Chief after breakfast,” Lieutenant Johnson explained.

Upon hearing this, Peter Gingery almost clocked Lieutenant Johnson on the forehead with a hammer.

He had been giving Lieutenant Johnson so many eye signals, but why didn’t the blockhead get the hint?

”You don’t have to bring it to me. I’m entrusting this matter to you, including the review of the participants. I don’t have the time to deal with these trivialities,” James said, glancing at Peter, who kept on blinking and pouting right next to Lieutenant Johnson, and then pretended not to see him. He took his breakfast and sat down at an empty spot.

After James left, Peter really breathed a sigh of relief.

”Old Johnson, my brother has handed it over to you; why are you still looking for him? Didn’t I tell you just now? My brother won’t interfere with this,” Peter tapped Lieutenant Johnson’s shoulder, advising earnestly, ”To the Chief, these are all trivial matters. We subordinates shouldn’t trouble him with such minor stuff. So, as he said himself just now, he won’t get involved. Don’t send that list and information to his office anymore.”

”It’s always necessary to send a copy over. Who knows when the Chief might find the time to take a look? It’s just a backup of the information, not a big deal,” Lieutenant Johnson said. After contemplating for a moment, he fixed his gaze on Peter’s face for a few seconds, then suddenly said, ”Peter, something’s off with you.”

”I...” A guilty Peter was at a loss for words under Lieutenant Johnson’s pointed accusation.

He glanced in the direction James had gone, then pulled Lieutenant Johnson further away before saying, ”Old Johnson, out of all the participants this time, who are you most looking forward to seeing? Who do you really want to meet?”
