The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me

The news of Joey's pregnancy spread itself. It soon reached Allen's parents and Joey's parents. Mrs. Linderman told Vivian about it and Ben Hawk knew it too. Soon everyone connected to Allen and Joey knew it, of whom some were happy, some were worried, while

others were jealous and resentful.

Joey stayed in the hospital for two days before she insisted that she should go back to the company. Even if Allen had asked his brother Lawrence for ten months' leave on behalf of Joey, she would have to finish the work handover with her replacement, since she would be away for so long a time.

Allen finally agreed and drove her to the company. Only this time, he had made up his mind not to let her out of his sight for a second.

During the work handover, her replacement, a new pretty secretary occasionally sneaked a glance at Allen, because he was too handsome to not pay attention to.

However, he couldn't take his eyes off Joey the whole time as an attentive boyfriend. He wasn't aware of his new admirer at all.

Joey eventually gave in.

She was ready to settle for a simple work handover, because the new girl wouldn't pay much attention to her anyway. Moreover, the girl was staring at Allen in a way that really annoyed her.

Joey had to admit that she had become less generous and easygoing than before since she got pregnant. She was more irritable more.

She would have simply laughed about the new secretary peeking at Allen if she weren't pregnant. It was only natural for a new girl in the office to admire a young, rich and handsome man. But Joey couldn't help feeling jealous.

Allen's presence had also drawn the attention of other girls in the office, including Faith, Miranda, Yvonne and Vivian.

The only difference was that Vivian was insanely jealous while the other three girls were happy for Joey.

When Vivian had stolen Ben Hawk from Joey, she'd most love to see Joey devastated and rejected by any other men in the world. What she hadn't expected was that instead of being unable to recover after a nasty breakup, Joey had quickly found herself a nice and considerate man who was way much better than Ben Hawk.

Vivian hated the fact that she had always picked up others' leftovers, Joey's fiancé Ben Hawk and the married man Quentin. Even worse, the two of them had been sleeping with other women. She believed that she deserved better men.

Sitting in her chair, Vivian glared at Joey who was being taken very good care of by Allen.

Faith mocked Vivian's burning jealousy, "Vivian, how do you feel? Jealous or hateful? Well, you'd better tone it down a little."

Miranda said, "Yes indeed. What a petty and jealous girl! You know, there is always someone else who is doing better than you in the world."

Yvonne chimed in, "I guess a sour loser is the worst."

The three girls had always been pissed at Vivian at work and they finally got a good opportunity to laugh at her.

Yvonne had hit the nail on the head. Vivian was certainly a sour loser.

As they say, nothing could be kept secret forever in this world. They might not have caught Vivian cheating with Quentin. But they could recognize an office love affair when they saw one. The dynamic between Vivian and Quentin had aroused their suspicion long ago. However, they hadn't told anyone else about it, because they didn't want to lose their well-paid jobs. But they had despised Vivian even more. They wouldn't let a day go by without making fun of Vivian.

Vivian trembled with anger when she was bullied by the girls. But she could do nothing but glare at them. She knew that she was no match to the three of them. In this case, any attempt to fight back was doomed to fail. Standing not far away, Joey had been watching it all.

But she didn't step in. After what Vivian had done to her, she would be merciful if she didn't kick Vivian when she was down.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
