The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me

Joey felt guilty. She replied, almost subconsciously, "I...I'm trying on the engagement dress."

She knew it was wrong to lie to Allen, but she was afraid that he would be mad at her if he knew she had gone to see Ben Hawk. But it seemed that the more careful she was, the worse things got.

Sitting behind the wheel, Allen looked at Joey not far away and tightened his grip on the wheel with his left hand. His right hand suddenly felt weak with the phone in it. He didn't even have the strength to question her in the face of her lie. He paused for a while and smiled self-mockingly, "Well, keeping trying it on."

Then he hung up the phone.

"Allen, hello..."

Joey was surprised that Allen had hung up so quickly. He had never hung up on her before. He had always waited for her to hang up first.

She was very confused, but she had no idea that he was just ten feet behind her right now.

Chance and Martin, who had been standing on the second floor of the western restaurant opposite the Sky café, had watched the scene.

"How wonderful! Well, Chance, I never knew you could be so smart. You really arranged a good show!"

Looking through the window at Allen and Joey downstairs, Yolanda laughed and clapped her hands.

However, Chance looked at Yolanda very impatiently and said coldly, "Don't be so sarcastic. You made the whole plan, and I just called Allen to lure him to come here. I bet you're way better than me when "Really?" Yolanda smiled disapprovingly and said, "Is that a compliment? All right, thanks, partner."

comes to make intricate plans."

Chance said, "I believe you have more than one partner. Ben Hawk should be here any minute. I'm going downstairs to meet up with Allen. I asked him to come here to see me after all. I have to give him an explanation, or he'll certainly suspect something." Yolanda nodded, "Don't forget our plan tonight. It's the most important part of the whole picture and everything depends on it. He will be mine if it works out. Otherwise we'll fail miserably."

"Don't worry. We will win, because I know him and her very well."

Chance adjusted his glasses and his eyes looked wicked and dangerous.

Chance had hardly reached the stairs when he bumped into Ben Hawk who was climbing the stairs difficultly with a stick and his right leg in a thick cast.

Chance and Ben Hawk had met each other on several occasions before, and they were definitely not strangers. Ben Hawk had gone to visit Joey's father at Chance's clinic twice as her former fiancé after Mrs. Linderman had accidentally pushed her husband down the stairs. Ben Hawk had never liked Chance, because Chance was Allen's friend.

Now with one of them going downstairs while the other one going upstairs, they finally looked at each other face to face. Chance undoubtedly won the silent battle.

They brushed against each other without saying anything. But the very eye contact declared both the beginning and end of an intense war.

Yolanda immediately stood up at the sight of Ben Hawk. She took the special pen from his hand and pressed an almost invisible button at the tip of the pen. Suddenly the conservation between Ben Hawk and Joey was played very clearly.

Yolanda smiled excitedly after she listened to the recording. She looked up at Ben Hawk, "Well done. It's...perfect."

Ben Hawk frowned. He was confused, "There was nothing special about the conversation I just had with her. And the sentence you told me to add to the conversation sounded irrelevant. I don't see why you're asking me do this."

Yolanda smiled and gave him a sidelong glance. She was apparently contemptuous of him, "Of course you don't know why. How could people of humble origins like you and her understand our special means in the upper class? Well, your job is done. You'll see her in agony very soon. This is the end of our cooperation!"

She put the pen away, stood up elegantly and left in high heels.

Ben Hawk ground his teeth angrily, but he could do nothing but repress his anger, because he knew that a girl as rich and powerful as Yolanda was someone he couldn't afford to offend right now.000000
