Through the book: The villain’s son’s stand-in

The production of the game is already on the right track, and as long as you follow the steps step by step, you will be successful without any accidents.

This is also reflected in the data that ranks first on the Battle.net platform’s new game expectations list, doubling the second place and ranking first.

Everything was going prosperously, but just looking at the complicated work documents piled up in front of him, James suddenly felt physically and mentally exhausted. He slumped back on the ergonomic chair and stared blankly at the pure white ceiling.

His eyelids were half drooped, and his eyes were slightly green and black, as if he had been sucked out of his energy by work.

The silent and depressing atmosphere spread in the office unintentionally, like a dark cloud over the city, seeming to swallow James up.

"Tick tock..."

The brisk bell rang, and James was stunned for a moment before turning to look at Guang Nao.

"Paul?"

The next second, he raised his finger and pressed the answer button.

"Hey, James." A lively male voice came from the other side, and the background sound was a bit noisy.

James frowned and said impatiently: "If you have anything to say, just tell me."

He had no intention of chatting with this playboy right now.

"Don't worry, I'm not thinking about not seeing you for a long time, I want to invite you to chat for a while."

Speaking of this, his voice suddenly lowered, with a somewhat constrictive tone.

"Is it the one from your family who is here? Are you afraid that if you talk to me too much, he will misunderstand you?"

James deliberately ignored his inquiries and said bluntly: "He's not here."

After speaking, he added: "There is an event to be held at Tiangongxing today, and he was sent on business."

As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at the sky.

At this time, the sun was gradually setting in the west, and the sky was dyed orange-red. In the air passage in the distance, flying trains passed quickly, leaving an afterimage.

However, the soundproofing in the office was very good, and no noise could penetrate, making this scene seem like a mime, playing out quietly.

James couldn't help but feel a little irritated and depressed, and he didn't know where to vent his anger.

"He's not here..." Paul suddenly protracted his tone, and then asked carefully: "Can you come back today?"

"Probably, but it will be very late." James replied weakly.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a low conversation coming from the other side. After a moment, Paul suddenly suggested: "Then do you want to take this opportunity to get together with us?"

"Since you talked to him, you haven't gone out to drink with us. They all say that you forget your friends when you have a man. If you don't come out and shock them, I can't hold it anymore."

Paul added: "You know, they are curious about your boyfriend. They have been asking you to take him out to see it. There are also games in your company. Many friends have not been able to get a spot, and... ..."

"Okay, I'll go."

James was really tired of being talked about. He looked down at the time and found that it was already time to get off work. He also held the armrests on both sides and straightened up, and asked casually: "Where is it and what time is it?"

"Eight o'clock in the evening, the old location of Night Shadow Club."

Paul reported the information quickly, and James turned off the terminal, stood up, picked up the coat on the floor hanger, and said slowly: "I know, hang up."

The dark purple hovercar flew past and finally stopped in a prosperous area of ​​the business district. The towering spire-shaped building was decorated with a precious pearl that resembled a meteorite, which was enough to show Yeying's wealth.

This is the private residence of the disciples of the Capital Star aristocratic circle. The higher the position, the stronger the background of the owner.

James was obviously a distinguished guest on the third floor of the tower. His face had appeared, and the staff at the door came forward to receive him and arranged everything for him.

The sightseeing elevator goes all the way up. When it reaches the third floor, you can already see the clear outlines of the planets in the sky from this height.

James walked forward slowly, paying attention to the scenery outside the window with his peripheral vision. It was not until the staff reminded him that he was here that he looked back and opened the door of the box freely.

"Hey, James!"

"Young master, you are finally willing to show up. It's been a long time since I last saw you."

As soon as he entered the door, several handsome men and women in luxurious clothes expressed their welcome to him one after another.

James smiled slightly and was pulled by them to sit in the center. The others sat on the other three sides, surrounding him tightly.

James raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, and couldn't help laughing: "Now that I'm here, I won't leave halfway. Do you need to do this?"

"Of course it's necessary. Last time, and the last time before that, you obviously invited us out for a drink, but when you heard that your boyfriend was not in a good mood, you immediately abandoned us and ran away."

The girl with dark brown wavy hair had an expression of disbelief on her face, and the short-haired man named Paul also laughed: "Yes, I forgot about it if I didn't tell Xinlu. Also, you seemed to have let it go at the graduation party." We pigeons!”

After the two men pointed out his bad records one by one, and turned to face the accusing eyes of Feng Jiarui, the only one who seemed to have a good temper, James could only surrender angrily.

"Okay, I admit my mistake. Send me any compensation you want. I'll buy the wine today."

"Okay, feel free!"

As soon as these words came out, the grudges in the hearts of the three people disappeared instantly.

They had a friendship that they had grown up with together, and they were somewhat sincere friends in the circle. In addition, James was a generous owner, so the relationship between the two of them naturally became more harmonious.

Before I knew it, I had been drinking for three rounds.

At first, James was relatively restrained. After all, he had work to do tomorrow and couldn't get drunk.

But perhaps due to the catalytic effect of the suffocating energy and the absence of Gu Cheng, he lost control and drank until he became dizzy and confused.

The others were not much better, but compared to James who seemed to be venting something, they still retained some sense.

At this time, Paul held a goblet, swaying and sat next to James, put his arm around his shoulders and asked:

"James, speaking of which, I really admire you. You are willing to put down your dignity and endure loneliness. You can put your warm face towards such a cold person. I even wonder if you are one of those infatuated people mentioned in some love novels. ”

James lowered his eyes, his cheeks were flushed, and his head was shaking, making people suspect that if Paul hadn't held him, he would have fallen onto the coffee table.

"Ha, the infatuated kind...that's right."

Perhaps because his consciousness was not clear, he spoke much more casually.

It's almost impossible to say anything, just say whatever comes to mind.

Hearing this, Paul patted James on the shoulder, smiled, raised the glass of wine, and said to the other two people: "Come, let's have a drink of love and wish our young master and Gu Cheng a long life."

"Oh!!!"

The other two people also toasted to celebrate. Not to be outdone, James reached for the cup, but the double image in his eyes made him misjudge the distance, and he was lifted off the coffee table.

Part of the scattered wine fell on the carpet, leaving a bright red color on the beige carpet, while the other part splashed on the back of James' hand, and the faint coolness stimulated his expression to suddenly clear up.

"Are you okay?" Bai Xinlu noticed James' mistake and asked with concern.

James shook his head, reached out and took out a few more tissues, and carefully wiped the wine on the back of his hands.

Suddenly, Feng Jiarui, who had always been silent and seldom spoke, suddenly asked: "James, are you unhappy?"

The other two people suddenly stopped talking and looked at James, who was lowering his head.

James remained silent and did not answer, and Feng Jiarui understood instantly.

He asked again: "Is it related to your boyfriend?"

James didn't respond again.

At this time, the three people present also figured out that the young master might have come for Gu Cheng again today.

Paul asked: "Is it that Gu Cheng who cheated on you behind your back?"

James shook his head quickly this time and replied affirmatively: "How is that possible? Brother Cheng is a dedicated person."

Otherwise, he wouldn't have pursued him for so long.

"Then...were you cheating on him?" Paul asked cautiously.

Hearing this, James almost laughed out of anger at Paul, and replied: "Do you only have the path to find three in your eyes?"

Paul shrank his neck and muttered in a low voice: "Isn't this the first reaction? In our circle, this is the most frequent occurrence."
