Chapter 123
Megan was adept at answering this question. “It’s Mr. Mayor’s privacy, so I can’t answer it for him. But just like today, I’m sure many people mistake me for Ms. Vance and send photos online. That’s why there are so many groundless rumors.”
“You’re indeed Mr. Mayor’s secretary. What a flawless answer! Since you neither admit nor deny it,
we can’t even write a report.”
Megan spread out her hands with a bitter smile. “We’re all corporate slaves. I did it for work. I’m sure you can understand me.”
During the conversation, the girl from the administrative department served some tea and snacks for all the paparazzi, reporters, and even drivers. Flattered and satisfied, all of them ignored the
question.
At this time, Megan’s phone rang. She excused herself and walked away to answer the phone.
Watching her leave, the reporters talked about her while eating.
“What a generous company! I can’t believe I, as a dogsbody, can get tea and snacks from them. You know what? Even C-list stars can humiliate me and take me as a nobody
“No wonder it’s a powerful group. Even their secretary is extraordinary.”
“The point is she’s good at dealing with problems. See how she answered the question just now? What a perfect answer! More importantly, she was gentle and polite to us, unlike those
condescending stars who show little respect to us.”
“And she’s gorgeous and funny unlike those beauties with no wisdom at all.”
“Who are you insinuating?”
“You know who.”
“Am I the only one who thinks that this secretary is much better-looking than Sasha?”
“No, you’re not.”
After the girl served tea and snacks, she was about to leave when she was stopped by a female.
reporter.
“Hey, Ms. Reed is amazing. Does she have an ulterior relationship with Mr. Mayor?”
The girl looked innocent and cute. Two dimples appeared when she smiled. “No, Ms. Reed is my idol. She was recruited like me.”
“That’s not what I mean. I mean since she’s beautiful and capable, and works with Mr. Mayor every day, c do they have a crush on each other? You know, beautiful women are always good matches for
handsome men.”

The girl widened her eyes as if she had heard something horrible. “Please don’t talk nonsense. Ms. Reed is very decent. She’s just Mr. Mayor’s colleague. That’s all!”
“Then why does Mr. Mayor like Sasha? She looks so similar to Ms. Reed. Does he take her as a
substitute for Ms. Reed?”
The girl shook her head repeatedly. “I don’t know. Anyway, it’s widely known that Ms. Reed and Mr.
Mayor are just colleagues. If you don’t believe me, you can ask someone else.”
Megan called her from afar at this time.
The girl replied and ran over with a bright smile.
The reporters looked at each other with speechless smiles.
“She doesn’t seem to be good at lying.”
“That doesn’t make sense. If Ms. Reed is just his colleague, this means that he’s not into this type.
So, there’s only one truth left.”
“What is it?”
“Mr. Mayor likes Sasha for who she is, but not for what she looks like.”
“Well, can I say he has a bad taste in women?”
“I agree with you. Totally.”
Megan praised the girl softly, glancing at the entrance of the service area.
The reporters were ready to go back with no results.
She didn’t breathe a sigh of relief and turned to walk into the service area until all the reporters left.
The whole area was crowded with people.
But where Leo was, there was a small space as if he had a natural block screen around.
Megan walked towards him.
“It’s done. All the reporters are gone. But we didn’t book a room for Sasha in advance. There’s no
spare room for her, so is it OK if she shares one with you?”
As usual, she reported to him about her work in an orderly manner, as if she had totally forgotten
that he had taken off her coat in public just now.
