The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me

Chapter 25 Infatuation

“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!” Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

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.

John Walter didn’t go after her. Instead he gave an order in a cold voice, “Send Sarah to my office. She

has to tell me herself.”

Joey stormed out of the room.

Sarah was waiting for her when she returned to her office.

“Joey, did he approve my resignation?” Sarah asked nervously. Suddenly she was very afraid that John

might have approved her resignation. She realized that she still loved him from the bottom of her heart.

Joey shook her head, “He asked me to send you to his office.”

Sarah was relieved to hear it, “All right. I’ll speak to him in person.”

“Don’t go. He isn’t a good person. He would certainly bully you if you went there. The worst case

scenario is that you won't get the paycheck. I’ll help you out if you need money.”

Joey tried to stop her.

The president’s office was John Walter’s territory where he could do whatever he wanted. He had been

unscrupulous just now. It was dangerous for Sarah to go there.

Sarah shook her head, “I’d better go to his office and confront him. Even if we broke up, I had to clear

things up with him.”

Joey was speechless because she knew Sarah was right. Eventually she nodded reluctantly, “Fine,

make it quick. Don’t trust him and don’t let him take advantage of you.”

Sarah nodded gratefully, “I know what I’m doing.”

She went to the president's office in high heels.

Joey sat down feebly. Her brain was in a mess. John Walter had told her that Allen was actually the

mayor. It was shocking news for her. She couldn’t accept it for the moment.

If Allen Charles was a male prostitute, she could probably forgive herself for having been defiled by

Ben Hawk in bed and continue to date him. Now that she knew Allen was actually the major, she

suddenly found herself unworthy of his love.

The more she thought about it, the more upset she became. She locked her office door, kneeled down

on the floor and wept.

In the meanwhile, Sarah walked into the president’s office, but she couldn’t find John Walter anywhere.

When she was confused, someone suddenly hugged her from behind with long strong arms. His smell

was familiar and infatuating.
