The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me

Watching Quentin leave the office, Joey leaned back with a subtle look in her eyes.

At lunch time, Joey went alone to a western restaurant across from the company, because she did have a rendezvous with Amanda.

Although Joey hadn't known Amanda for a long time, they had admired each other since the first day they met. This mutual admiration naturally drew them closest to each other. Even though they were separated by a long distance for a long time, they remained bosom friends when they met.

This was a completely different kind of friendship from that between Joey and Sarah.

Joey cherished it from the bottom of her heart.

Amanda had arrived when Joey got there. She took a window seat and ordered a cup of coffee, waiting for Joey.

Amanda did not change much during the four years. She was tall and slim, with intelligent elegance.

"Ms. Amanda!"

Joey smiled and sat down in front of Amanda.

Amanda was nine years older than Joey, so Joey addressed her respectfully. Moreover, Joey used to address her this way when she worked in CL Group.

"Joey!"

Amanda joyfully grabbed Joey's hand and said excitedly, "Last night when I received your call to meet here, I couldn't believe you've come back. Where have you been for the past four years? Why didn't you contact me at all?"

Joey smiled bitterly and said, "It's a long story. We don't talk about this today..."

After they spent some time catching up on each other, Joey got to the point. "Actually I asked you out to discuss something with you."

Amanda turned serious. "What is it?"

What made Joey specially ask her out would not be a trivial matter.

Joey said, "Actually, it's not a big deal. Before I start, I want to ask you a question. I know why you divorced Quentin back then. I can imagine that you hate his unfaithfulness and betrayal. If you have the chance, do you want to take revenge on him?" Amanda was taken aback. "Why do you suddenly mention this?"

Joey briefly explained that Quentin was now her secretary. In the end she said, "If you want to get back at him, I can help you. He is working for me now. I have a thousand ways to make him miserable."

Hearing this, Amanda paused. After pondering for a moment, she slowly shook her head and said, "No need."

"Why?"

Joey was surprised by Amanda's decision.

She had witnessed the intimacy between Quentin and Vivian in the company stairs. It was blatantly abominable. What kind of humiliation and pain that Amanda had endured As Quentin's wife! However, a divorce was far from enough to deal Quentin a blow. At the very least, he was not destroyed and could stage a comeback anytime.

Joey always thought men like Quentin and ben had been let off too easily.

Noticing the hatred in Joey's eyes, Amanda sighed softly and said, "It's been four years. Why should I bother with him? Anyway, we are strangers now and we go our separate ways. We're finished. If I go and get him into trouble, I will feel upset. It's all over, and let's forget it!" Amanda was speaking her own mind, and she was not insinuating anything. However, Joey was struck by her words.

Amanda was talking about herself, but weren't her words meant for Joey as well?

Amanda had already got over it, but what about her?

She remained obsessive.

She had been preparing persistently for four years. She had staged a grand comeback with meticulous calculation for the purpose of avenging herself. However, as Amanda said, would she feel better if she got them into trouble?

Suddenly, Joey's determination wavered. What was the purpose of her persistence? What was the meaning of it?

Should she learn from Amanda to let go of the past? After all, it was history.

However, just as she had such a thought, a voice deep down made an angry objection.

No, absolutely not!

Amanda did not hate Quentin because her love for him was not deep enough. The love between Joey and Allen was so deep that she could not forget it. It was not possible for her to be just a stranger. Therefore, the destiny had determined that she could not let go as easily as Amanda.

Besides, the injuries that she had suffered left behind a bloody wound. Even if it was healed, the scar remained ghastly. She could not forget the pain and despair for the rest of her life, and she could only get back at them one by one. Otherwise, she would die with regrets.00000000000
