The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me novel Chapter 18

Allen’s tone suggested that he must know the woman.

“Yes.”

He nodded, but he clearly didn’t want to talk about her, so he changed the subject, “Why are you here?”

Joey whispered, “I...I’m here for you.”

“For me?”

He sounded surprised, and he soon complained with a straight face, “Since you’re here for me, then why didn’t the phone number you gave me exist?”

It turned out that he had been trying to reach out to her, but all in vain. God knew how much he had missed her in the past few days.

“Maybe I gave you the wrong number.”

She lied because he would certainly be mad at her if she told the truth.

“Really?”

He wasn't convinced. But since she had made the effort to come to him, he would let it go, “Never mind. Follow me, and I’ll introduce my friends to you.”

Before she responded, he had pulled her into a luxurious private room.

She was stunned by what she saw.

In the private room where the light was flickering and the music was deafening, Joey saw three men and three women, including John and Sarah.

“Joey, what are you doing here?”

Cradled in John’s arms, Sarah was surprised to see Joey and she stood up immediately.

John said nothing. But he frowned, which was unusual for him. When his eyes fell on Joey’s hand that was held by Allen, his smile was wicked and cold.

“Sarah, you are here!”

Joey was happy to see Sarah.

“Do you know each other?”

Allen asked. He was a little surprised.

Before Joey could explain, John, sitting cross-legged on the sofa, interrupted, “They go way back. Speak of the devil; she is the virtuous and conservative chief secretary I just told you about.”

Unhappy to hear it, Allen took Joey in his arms and claimed, “Mr. Walter, she is my girl, and I don't appreciate the way you talked about her. Otherwise I won’t go easy on you.”

John had described Joey as “virtuous and conservative”, which meant that he had hit on her and failed. Allen was furious at the thought of it.
