The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me novel Chapter 132

It seemed that the woman had expected Joey to react this way. She put the stack of papers away, “You’ve passed out for a day. I bet your friend must be looking for you everywhere right now. Even if you don’t want to see him, you’d better let him know that you’re safe.”

She handed her phone to Joey as she spoke.

Joey took the phone with trembling hands. The woman was right. She had disappeared for a day, and Allen must be looking for her like crazy. With the phone in her hands, she seemed to be at a loss for words.

She looked up at the woman in front of her and asked, “Why did you help me?”

They were just strangers.

The woman frowned with a sigh, “Because the same thing happened to me once...”

Joey was shocked, “Did you…”

No wonder the woman had helped her collect evidence. It turned out that she shared the terrible experience with Joey.

The woman’s smile was faint, “It will eventually pass with time. I’m not sad anymore. Don’t dwell on the pain for long. Why don’t you call your friend or send him a message? I'll order some food for you.”

She walked out of the room.

Joey was left curling up in the big bed and weeping.

Finally Joey decided to send Allen a message with a lie that she had bumped into a friend of hers and everything was all right.

Allen, who had been looking for Joey for a day, was frantic when he received the message from her. He instantly called her back.

However, Joey didn’t dare to listen to his voice at the moment, because she was afraid that she would burst into tears the moment she heard it.

Allen sent a text message to Joey when his call wasn’t answered, asking for her address. He would come and get her right away.

Joey answered his messages with trembling hands. But she refused to give him her address, because she had no idea where she was at now.

They texted back and forth. Allen wasn’t convinced that it was Joey at first, but he was gradually put at ease when he was certain that those messages were sent by Joey herself, because he knew her speaking style better than anyone else.
