When the host handed two travel tickets for couples to Joey, she was still in a daze.
The other three sets of tickets were respectively won by Vivian, Quentin and Amanda.
What a crazy world! Joey thought to herself.
Joey was interested in the travel to Thailand. Thailand was well-known for its ladyboys and Joey had always wanted to meet them in person.
Once she arrived home from work, she told Allen the good news and asked if he had time to go to Thailand with her.
To her surprise, he agreed without hesitation.
Joey looked him up and down in amazement and exclaimed after a while, “Mr. Mayor, don't you have work to do?”
Allen had spent a dozen days hanging around with her at the Village of Giant Salamanders last time. Now he had just agreed to go with her without the slightest hesitation. What a man of leisure as the mayor!
Allen smiled, “Baby, I’d like to follow you everywhere you go, as long as you need me. Besides, my job is a very busy one. I had hardly taken a day off before I met you. All my holidays have added up to months. A 70– day holiday will be fine with me if you’d like to, let alone a seven-day travel to Thailand.”
She understood why he had plenty of time to spend with her. But she still thought that he wasn’t busy enough as a mayor.
The next day, when Joey and Allen arrived at the airport with their tickets, the tour group was complete. The other three prize winners had arrived earlier, and they were respectively Vivian, Quentin and Amanda. Joey was very surprised to see their companions.
Vivian brought Ben Hawk with her, which wasn't surprising for her at all.
Amanda brought Leonard with her, which was a little surprising for her.
Quentin brought Philip with him, which was an odd choice beyond her imagination. As they say, love rivals are insanely jealous when they meet each other. There had been a lot going on between Joey and them.
Allen Charles, Philip and Ben Hawk locked eyes with each other. The atmosphere was tense and aggressive, which made her very uncomfortable.
