“Don’t worry, as long as you don’t give yourself away, 1 won’t say a thing.”
“Okay, then I’m heading up.”
Reassured by her words, Greg Jensen went back to the manager’s 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 couldn’t help feeling a bit smug. She turned around, locked the office door, and then sat on Greg’s lap.
She wrapped her arms around Greg’s neck and said with a charming smile, “Have you missed me after all this time?”
“Missed you, of course, 1 have.”
Greg ran his hand over her form and then caressed up her leg.
“Hey, are you getting bolder? This is the office, you know.”
“What’s there to fear, you’re still here… mmm…”
Before Greg could finish, Amber kissed him, igniting the fire in his heart.
The suppressed longing from their time apart exploded in that moment.
After a good deal of intimate contact, they finally stopped, gasping for breath.
“You didn’t come here just for this, did you?” Amber asked with a chuckle.
Greg laughed, “Nothing big. I’m going to checkout the new store’s renovations later, and you can come along to get familiar with it.”
“Oh, alright.”
Amber hesitated, “Greg, are you really planning on putting me in charge of those four new stores?”
“Why? Are you scared?”
“1… just fear 1 might not do well, and what if we lose money?”
Greg laughed, “Don’t worry, as long as you work hard, we definitely won’t lose money.”
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.
“Greg, how come I find you getting smarter?” Amber said, looking at him.
Greg retorted, “1 was stupid before, and now that I’ve become smarter, naturally, 1 think about more things.”
“Right, I almost forgot, you’re the only college graduate in our village.
Realizing this, Amber couldn’t help but give a mischievous smile, “Although I never went to college, I have been…”
Greg’s face turned dark immediately, and he feigned anger, “Shut up and hold back the rest of your words. A decent woman talking like that all the time, what would it look like?”
“Haha, alright, I’ll stop.”
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.
“Ow, what are you…”
“It’s almost eleven o’clock, get up already.”
Lois suddenly woke with a start, “Oh my, it’s so late already. I’ve been sleeping so well today.”
“You’re practically sleeping like a pig,” said Greg, resigned.
Lois Abbott snorted coldly, “Who told you to stay up so late.”
“Alright, alright, it’s my fault…”
Greg Jensen forced a smile and said, “Hurry up and get up, I’ll go make some breakfast.”
After saying that, he went to the kitchen, pondering what to prepare, when he saw Lois’s 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 Greg’s bloodline surge.
“Brother-in-law, good morning.”
“Morning my ass, what time do you think it is now?
Amber Hall walked up, wrapped her arms naturally around Greg’s neck, and whispered coquettishly, “Aww, I played video games too late last night.” A wisp of fragrance lingered around his nose, and Greg couldn’t 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.
“Be good, stop fooling around, your sister will be out soon.”
Amber replied slyly, “What’s to fear? Maybe my sister would be happy to see me like this?”
“Get back and put some clothes on properly. If your sister sees you like this, she’ll definitely argue with me.”
“Oh come on, 1 already told you my sister doesn’t care.”
Greg said sternly, “Are you going to change or not? If you don’t, I will get angry.”
“Fine, I’m going, okay? Honestly…”
Amber pouted and unwillingly went back to her room.
Greg let out a long sigh and said helplessly, “This girl is getting more and more troublesome.”
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, Greg’s cooking was quite good. The aroma of the food made the sisters’ eyes light up instantly.
“Start with some soup to settle your stomach.”
Greg served two bowls of soup and placed them in front of them.
Amber’s eyes sparkled as she exaggeratedly exclaimed, “Wow, brother-in-law, how did you make this soup? It’s so delicious!”
Greg laughed, “To make the sweet and sour ribs, you have to first boil the ribs and then deep-fry the skin until it’s crispy. 1 used the broth from boiling the ribs for this seaweed egg drop soup.”
“Brother-in-law is awesome. If only my future boyfriend could be as great as you.”
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, “Just eat, eating won’t stop your mouth running.” “Hehe, got it.”
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 hadn’t noticed, and continued to eat.
Right at that moment, Norman Holmes suddenly called.
Greg quickly picked up and asked with a smile, “Second Bro, what’s up? Why are you calling me so early?”
However, the voice that came through was Jaylene River’s, and it was tinged with sobs: “Mr. 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?”
Greg’s expression changed immediately, and he said hastily, “Sister-in-law, don’t panic; 1’11 be right there.”
Seeing the change in his expression, Lois asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Norman was beaten up. I’m going to the hospital now. If you two don’t have other plans, just stay at home, and don’t wander off,” instructed Greg as he took Lois’s car and drove off to Riverhaven Hospital..
