The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me

Yolanda put away the photo of Allen and Joey and left his office contentedly.

Meanwhile, Allen and Ms. Carol were on their way to the airport after they left the city hall.

Ms. Carol was driving the car and Allen was sitting on the passenger seat with his eyes closed. He would rather condescend to pick up someone at the airport than spend another minute with Yolanda. Half an hour later, they arrived at the airport.

"Mr. Charles, please hurry up, it's already past 12 o'clock. Miss Zoey said she'd arrive at twelve o'clock. She may have arrived by now and we're running late." She reminded him anxiously.

Allen replied disapprovingly, adjusting his coat, "It doesn't matter if I'm a few minutes late. I'm already generous enough to pick her up at the airport."

He wouldn't have come to the airport at all if it weren't for getting rid of Yolanda.

Ms. Carol didn't dare to say another word, but she secretly complained, "Mr. Charles, your family is very rich, so you don't care about these overseas investment entrepreneurs, but our city does. We're even praying for a few more of these investors!" However, they walked into the airport, only to find that there was no flight arriving at 12 o'clock today.

Ms. Carol asked the airport staff and learned that Miss Zoey's flight was not due to arrive until 1 p.m.

Allen had been in a bad mood. He was furious when he heard it. He sneered, "I didn't expect her to have the nerve to fool me. She apparently gave us the wrong arrival time on purpose. I'm the mayor and she expects me to wait for her at the airport for an hour? How ridiculous!"

He was about to leave.

He was unhappy at home, and now he was unhappy at work. He felt that his life was really unsatisfactory.

Ms. Carol saw that Allen was really pissed off, and tried to stop him, almost pleading, "Mr. Charles, I know you're angry, but we really can't afford to offend Miss Zoey. She's investing not only in our city's food industry, but also in medicine. It's said that she's bringing many medical equipments with her on this trip, and one of them is a special equipment to treat vegetative patients, and it has a very good therapeutic effect. If this investment goes well, it will definitely be a historic reform for the development of the medical community in our city." She was sincere and persuasive.

But what was most tempting for him was the equipment for vegetative patients.

He thought of Chance's mother Leila, the beautiful woman who had been asleep for more than 20 years and was diagnosed to be a vegetative person who would never wake up. If Miss Zoey's new equipment worked really well as they said, the chances of Chance's vegetative mother waking up could be greatly improved

With this thought Allen repressed his discontent and waited patiently.

As Chance's cousin, Allen had grown up with him and known very well how hard Chance had tried to cure his mother. He might as well think of it as a favor to his best friend and cousin Chance.

Time passed extremely slowly in waiting, but it would pass eventually.

An hour later, there was a loud noise when a crowd of passengers emerged, and Miss Zoey's flight finally arrived.

Holding the sign with the name "Zoey" on it, Ms. Carol waited with Allen for the mysterious investor to show up.

However, when all the passengers were gone, Miss Zoey never showed up.

No matter how good-tempered Allen was, he couldn't help getting angry. Before he met Miss Zoey, he was already offended by her disrespect.

But what he didn't know was that two figures had been watching him from behind a large pillar only dozens of meters away from him.

They were Joey and Philip.

"Not ready yet? It seems he's rather tired of waiting."

Philip pulled their luggage in one hand, and leant against the pillar, looking at Joey with a complicated look.

Joey looked away from Allen in a daze. She turned and lowered her head, trembling uncontrollably.

She finally saw him again after four years.

He was as handsome as she remembered, and even more masculine than ever. Everything she had prepared in the last four years almost fell apart when she laid her eyes on him. Unfortunately, things had changed dramatically.

He had married Yolanda in the second month after her departure.

After she was gone, he had only mourned their love for two months. Then he had married his ex-girlfriend and had a daughter with her.

She learned it from the profile Fiona sent to her.

She remembered how broken-hearted she had been when she knew it. Her world had fallen apart at that moment. She thought the love between them was ridiculous.

Allen had been the last person she had intended to take revenge on when she had decided to come back home. But he had become the first one on her list after she read his profile. She hated him now as much as she had loved him before.

Joey closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Her voice was icy-old, "Let's go out and meet him. I'll let them know what was supposed to be over long ago is coming back now." She put on sunglasses and walked over to Allen with the graceful steps she'd honed on the runway over the years.

She was also embarking on the path of revenge and she had vowed to make them pay a heavy price.000
