The Supreme Soldier in the City
Chapter 40 - 40 39 Elevator

40: Chapter 39 Elevator 40: Chapter 39 Elevator Inside the elevator, apart from James, Gina Lopez, and Sunny, there were no other employees from JYPP Region Company.

So naturally, James stood with the two women, initially keeping a distance between them.

Even if the elevator were at full capacity, they couldn’t have stood too close since the elevator had a specified weight limit.

Exceeding it would trigger an alarm and prevent the elevator from moving.

However, today was an exception.

Someone unexpectedly brought in two large boxes.

The boxes weren’t heavy, but they were bulky enough to take up the space of four people.

So, the already crowded elevator became exceptionally cramped.

As the elevator doors closed, James found himself pressed against others.

Sunny and Gina Lopez were sticking to the elevator walls, leaving James no choice but to lean on one of them.

Naturally, he chose Sunny, since they had shared a one-night fling, making this contact seem inconsequential.

James had also shared a bed with Gina, even cuddling together, but he wasn’t as close to her.

Their relationship was purely transactional, and any physical contact with Gina at this moment might set her off.

As soon as he leaned on Sunny, James felt her body stiffen, but he had no other choice given the limited space.

Although Sunny knew there was nothing James could do, being this close to him involuntarily reminded her of their passionate night together.

She’d had quite a bit to drink that night, but the vigorous activity had sobered her up.

She couldn’t easily forget how strong James was and how much pleasure he had brought her.

Thinking about all this made Sunny feel weak all over, and she couldn’t seem to stand on her own, naturally leaning into James’s embrace.

James, quite aware of Sunny’s reaction, was momentarily at a loss for words.

Here she was, insisting he forget about that night and never mention it again, yet with just a little contact, Sunny was already leaning into his arms.

And her body was so warm, clearly aroused.

It was an elevator, and if she was moved, she could have at least picked a more private place.

Now, not only were they under the watchful eyes of everyone, Ms.

Lopez was also observing them.

If James did anything inappropriate, he was sure he’d be thrown out of the company.

At this point, Ms.

Lopez noticed James standing behind Sunny and discerned something odd about Sunny’s expression, but she didn’t think too deeply about it, instead asking with concern, “Ms.

Green, are you okay?”

Sunny quickly shook her head and replied, “It’s just the elevator starting up.

I think I’m not used to it yet.”

It was a good excuse.

Some elevators do move faster, and it’s normal for some people not to feel well, but Ms.

Lopez didn’t think much of it.

However, James silently scoffed to himself.

Sunny could really make up excuses.

But really, she shouldn’t lean so close to him.

They had reached the fourth floor, and someone got off.

Before James and Sunny could distance themselves, another person got on.

Early in the morning and just starting work, James wondered what was going on.

And this person was quite large, especially with a protruding belly that seemed like it belonged to a woman who was seven or eight months pregnant.

His entry made the elevator even more crowded.

Sunny wasn’t short and was wearing high heels.

She had long legs that had wrapped tightly around James’s waist during their intimate night, making him feel utterly captivated.

Due to Sunny’s long legs, the unfortunate part of James happened to nestle between her buttocks, making him feel a little guilty.

This contact wasn’t intentional—it was forced by external circumstances.

If there were no reaction from him, it would mean Sunny had no allure whatsoever.

Knowing all too well what was happening, Sunny was first shocked by the contact with that firmness at her back.

Her first instinct was panic—if anyone saw, she would be utterly humiliated.

Her heart raced uncontrollably.

Pretending to adjust her hair, she glanced around and realized no one seemed to notice them—not even Ms.

Lopez, whose attention was fixed on the elevator display.

This slightly calmed her down, yet internally she furiously cursed James.

How could he entertain such disordered thoughts at a time like this, embarrassing her like this?

Inwardly fuming, Sunny felt a peculiar thrill and a growing desire for James to move closer, even recalling their night together, which left her feeling weak.

If not for the crowded space, she might have collapsed.

When the elevator reached the eighth floor, several individuals, including the one with the boxes, got off, making it much less crowded.

James hastily stepped back, but Sunny’s body once leaned back toward him.

He quickly reached out to stabilize her, feigning concern, “Ms.

Green, are you okay?”

“I’m fine, I’m fine,” Sunny replied, her face flushed as she straightened up, adding, “I’m really not quite used to this elevator.”

Gina looked at Sunny oddly but didn’t dwell on it much, as she hadn’t experienced anything like this and certainly wouldn’t think it was due to James.

When they reached the twelfth floor, James nodded at Ms.

Lopez, then quickly stepped out of the elevator, while Sunny noticed that as the mischievous man left, he kept his hands in his pockets, preventing anyone from noticing the bulge in his trousers.

This relieved her.

If anyone had seen James looking like he was pitching a tent, they undoubtedly would have speculated about their earlier actions.

Upon reaching the 14th floor, Sunny Nguyen stepped out of the elevator.

As she moved, her body swayed, and she almost fell—her legs were still weak.

Gina Lopez quickly supported her, looking concerned, “Ms.

Green, I think you should rest for a bit today.

Why don’t I have the driver take you to the hospital to get checked out?

Work can wait.”

Sunny quickly responded, “It’s okay, it’s okay, I’ll be fine once the elevator stops.”

After they exited the elevator, Gina was still worried and kept her eyes on Sunny.

Sunny smiled and said, “See, I’m really okay now.

Thank you for your concern, Ms.

Lopez.”

Gina noticed that Sunny was walking normally now and nodded, “However, health is still a priority.

If you need anything, just let me know.”

“Alright, I’ll get organized and head to Ms.

Lopez’s office later.”

Sunny went back to her office first and sat in her chair, her cheeks still flushed.

She wondered what was wrong with herself—James had taken an advantage, yet she wasn’t angry.

Furthermore, it was James who had almost embarrassed himself, so why did she have to worry?

Did she owe him something?

“That damn jerk, just you wait, you made me almost embarrass myself, I’m not going to let this slide.”

At that moment, Sunny’s feelings toward James swung back to anger, and she even thought of ways to retaliate—women’s thoughts are really strange.

Just yesterday, she was very afraid of James, but now she wanted revenge.

If James knew, he would surely be frustrated.

James didn’t head straight to the office but went to the restroom to smoke a cigarette which helped calm him down.

He kept thinking about the thrilling moment earlier.

No wonder some people are perverted enough to become molesters on public transport; it really felt exhilarating.

Of course, it also required a beautiful woman who was cooperative, and if it were Gina Lopez, then James would not have enjoyed such excitement.

But what exactly was Sunny intending?

Perhaps she was considering stirring things up again?

For James, that could be worth considering—married women had their allure and came without responsibilities, which James appreciated.

Today, James was still getting acquainted with the logistics department’s duties.

Sarah had helped him thoroughly, and by half the day, he had a good grasp on the department’s functions.

Certainly, he now knew what he should be doing, rather than needing Sarah to handle everything like when he first arrived.

When it was almost time to leave, a man entered the office, in his forties, slightly overweight, a bit bald, oily-faced.

He walked directly up to Sarah and said, “Sarah, come to my office.” After that, he walked out.

Sarah’s expression turned very grim, and Emily Smith, still in the office, spat out, “That jerk, Little Erin, be careful.”

Sarah stood up slowly and said, “I know, but he’s the deputy director; what can I do?”

Emily hummed, “When you go in, don’t stay too close to him, and don’t close the door.

If anything happens, just scream.

People like him only bully the timid; the more you cower, the more he’ll bully you.”

“Okay.” Sarah nodded and then adjusted her clothes, looking like she was heading to her execution.

After Sarah left, James Brown whispered, “Ms.

Berk, who was that man just now?”

“He’s Douglas Smith, the deputy director of our logistics department—an old pervert,” Emily scornfully said, “He exploits his connections to dominate the office, and he especially targets Little Erin because she’s pretty.”

James frowned, “In the office, he wouldn’t dare do anything rash, right?”

Emily said bitterly, “Humph, he wouldn’t dare cause big trouble, but taking little advantages?

That’s trivial to him.

Our company used to be fine, but these jerks have ruined the atmosphere.”

James stood up, “Then I’ll go and see, I can’t let Little Erin suffer.”

Emily quickly cautioned with good intentions, “Hey, don’t be reckless.

That guy is notoriously spiteful.

If you offend him, he will definitely trouble you.

At least in the office, he can’t do much to Little Erin, at most some minor harassment.”

James cracked a smile, “Don’t worry, I won’t be reckless.”

Nevertheless, Sarah had been quite helpful to James, and he couldn’t just watch her be taken advantage of, especially by a sleazy old pervert.
