The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me novel Chapter 25

“Okay, thank you, Joey!”

Sarah looked at Joey with gratitude.

Joey patted her on the shoulder reassuringly. When she walked into the president's office, John Walter was reviewing a business plan.

“Mr. President, this is Sarah’s resignation letter. Please have a look. She’s waiting for your approval.”

Joey put the resignation letter on his desk with both hands and quickly took a step back. She couldn't help feeling intimidated by the presence of any male now.

John Walter snorted and raised his head to look at her. He slightly narrowed his eyes and asked, “Why is she resigning? Low salary?”

Joey couldn't restrain her anger. She couldn’t believe that he was still unaware of his mistakes at this point. She blurted out, “Mr. President, you know the reason why Sarah is resigning her position more than anyone else. Since you don’t care about her, please set her free!”

Frowning, John Walter stared at Joey and said in a cold voice, “Are you giving me a lecture?”

“No, I’m not!”

Joey looked up to meet his eyes stubbornly. Her disobedient tone wasn’t convincing at all.

John Walter chuckled and got up out of his chair. He rushed to Joey in a big stride and pushed her down onto the desk. His eyes were cold, “How dare you give me a lecture? Are you qualified enough to do so? Hadn’t you always said that you would be loyal to your fiancé Ben Hawk? Then why did you clung to Allen Charles last night？I bet you like him because he is the mayor. It turns out that I failed to impress you because you are a girl who prefers power to money. Am I right, my virtuous chief secretary?”

Joey was frightened into struggling hard at first by his sudden move. But when she heard what he had to say, she was so shocked that she stopped dodging him and stared at him in disbelief, “What did you say? Allen Charles is the mayor? Isn't he…”

A male prostitute?

Joey was astonished by the news. Allen was the male prostitute she had asked for that night. Why did he suddenly turn into a dignified mayor?”

John Walter sneered and buried his head in her neck, rubbing tenderly, “Don’t play dumb with me. All women like either power or money, or both. Did you have much fun with him last night? Was he good in bed?”

“You...let go of me!”

Infuriated by his words, Joey opened her mouth and bit him hard on the shoulder. When he was distracted by the pain, she pushed him away and ran to the door.
