Chapter 241 I am James!
Seeing Marigold's curvy figure, James couldn't help but gulp, his breath quickening.
No doubt about it, Marigold's body was stunning, making James's eyes go wide in shock.
When Marigold saw James burst in, a mix of embarrassment and anger flashed across her pretty face. She quickly grabbed a towel and yelled, "You creep! What are you doing here?"
James snapped out of it at her words, quickly looking away and stammering, "I brought you some wine!"
He set the tray down in a hurry and turned to leave.
Yeah, it was totally his fault for seeing Marigold naked.
"Hold it right there!" Marigold shouted as James tried to make his exit.
"What now?" James asked, feeling helpless as he turned back.
"Don't you know how to knock? You knew I'd be changing after swimming, and you still barged in. You did it on purpose to spy on me, didn't you?" Marigold fumed.
"I didn't mean to! How was I supposed to know you'd be changing in here?" James quickly defended himself.
The young guy who had sent James with the wine looked at Marigold nervously and asked, "Marigold, what's going on?"
Even though he hadn't known Marigold long, he knew she wasn't someone to mess with. That's why he sent James instead of going himself.
The staff at Fairy Lake, hearing Marigold's shouts, rushed over to the beauty room.
"This loser peeked at me changing! It's disgusting. You're fired!" Marigold pointed angrily at James.
"What?" The staff member was stunned, looking at James in disbelief.
By now, all the women at Fairy Lake had gathered around.
"This guy dared to peek at Marigold changing? What a perv!"
"Yeah, is he nuts? Doing something so sleazy. How did he even get a job here?"
"Look at him, all shabby. He looks like a total loser. I knew he was trouble the moment he walked in! Peeking at Marigold changing, how shameless!"
The women started accusing James, their faces full of disdain.
"He's done for. Marigold is the prettiest among us. Whether Mr. Smith is happy depends on her. This guy dared to offend her; he's toast!"
"Yeah, last time some pervy staff member stole a piece of Marigold's underwear, and Mr. Hayes nearly beat him to death. This guy is even worse, peeking at her changing. Is he asking for it?"
Everyone pointed at James, their faces full of contempt.
James stood there, feeling totally helpless, not knowing how to explain himself.
"You sleazy loser, you think you can just ogle my body? Just wait, I'm calling Mr. Hayes right now. He'll deal with you!" Marigold pointed at James's nose and cursed, then grabbed her phone from the table.
"I really didn't mean to peep at you changing. Why are you targeting me?" James said, trying to stay calm.
"Tell it to Mr. Hayes!" Marigold snapped through gritted teeth.
"Then go ahead and call." James didn't want to make things worse, but seeing Marigold insist on calling Atticus, he let her.
"You're a dead man!" Marigold shouted angrily, then dialed Atticus's number.
After two rings, Atticus picked up.
"Mr. Hayes, please come to Fairy Lake quickly. Some loser just peeped at me changing," Marigold's voice was full of grievance.
"What? Who's got the guts?" Atticus was instantly furious.
"Just a staff member!" Marigold glanced coldly at James and said with disdain.
"Alright, keep that guy there. I'm coming over now!" Atticus replied anxiously and hung up.
Atticus didn't bother asking for details because he was in a hurry.
If this had happened on any other day, Atticus wouldn't be so anxious. But today was different. He knew James was at Fairy Lake. If someone had indeed peeped at Marigold changing, that was a minor issue.
But if that person had disturbed James's mood, it would be a big problem.
Seeing Atticus's urgency, Marigold thought he was very concerned about her, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
"Marigold, what did Mr. Hayes say?" the girl next to Marigold asked quickly.
"What else? He said to keep this guy here, and he's coming to deal with him personally!" Marigold shouted arrogantly.
The staff who had been watching the commotion rushed towards James upon hearing Marigold's words.
"Do you know who I am? How dare you lay a hand on me?" James said coldly, keeping his cool. After all, the entire Fairy Lake Resort was his territory.
On his own turf, could he be bullied by a bunch of staff?
The guards hesitated upon hearing James's words, looking at him in confusion.
"Aren't you just a staff member? What are you pretending for?" the staff member who had ordered James to deliver the wine said disdainfully.
James ignored him and stepped forward, looking at Marigold. "You didn't tell Atticus that the person who peeped at you changing was named James, did you?"
"James?" Marigold was taken aback by the name, then said, "You're James? Mr. Smith?"
"That's right, I'm James," he said, nodding slightly.
