The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me

After applying the medicine to Joey's face, Martin drove fast as usual and took her on a joy ride in the city for two or three hours.

Joey found it quite exciting once she got used to the speed.

When Martin sent her home, the swelling had subsided. Her face looked just a little red.

Allen Charles asked about it and she said it was skin allergy.

He didn't suspect anything, because it really looked similar to skin allergy.

There was a faint smile on Martin's face as he was standing by and listening to their conversation. Joey lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Martin.

In the evening, she felt it was time for her to tell Allen about her family. But whenever she worked up the courage, words failed her at the last minute.

She finally mustered up all her courage and decided to come clean with him. It was bedtime, and Allen silenced her with a passionate kiss. She failed again. After lovemaking, Allen held her in his arms and fell fast asleep with a satisfied smile on his face.

Her attempts to come clean with him today ended in failure...

The next day, Joey's face was still slightly red, but it was hard to tell it apart from blusher. She resumed her beautiful look.

She arrived at the CL Group early. After all, it was her first day at work and she mustn't be late.

However, Joey was surprised to find that Amanda had arrived earlier than her. She looked sophisticated and elegant as the day before.

Amanda greeted Joey and introduced Joey to her job responsibilities from now on. Joey was given only one hour to familiarize herself with the history and status quo of the CL Group. Then she was asked to join Amanda in interviewing new candidates.

The interviewees looked nervous. How exciting it was to become one of the interviewers today when she had been an interviewee herself the day before.

However, Joey was experienced enough to collect herself and act professionally. She asked questions with smiles and showed good judgment. Amanda mostly agreed with her opinions, which made Amanda very happy.

Two days later, Amanda asked Joey to take full charge of the first-round interviews. She decided to meet the candidates who Joey thought were capable enough to work in the company in the second-round interviews. It showed tremendous trust and encouragement for Joey as a new employee.

Joey was confident and energetic in her new job. However, on the seventh day, she met an unexpected interviewee.

"Joey, it's you! Don't you work in the Walter Group? Why are you working in the CL Group now? Great. If you work here, I'll certainly pass the interview, right? My dear sister, would you give me the job?"

The door of the interviewer's office opened, and Vivian entered the room in a short print dress. Joey wasn't happy to see her, because she knew her sister was trouble.

Joey cleared her throat and said seriously, "This is the office. There are only superiors and subordinates in the company, no sisters. If you want to get a job in the CL Group, you've got to earn it with your competence. Hello, I'm Joey Lindeman, the administrative director of the CL Group. Which position would you like to apply for?"

Vivian's smile froze when she found Joey was acting all professional and distant. But Joey wasn't wrong. She had to sit down across from Joey and said reluctantly, "I'd like to apply for the executive secretary."

"May I see your resume, please?" Joey said calmly.

Vivian was a student of secretary major in college, so Joey wasn't surprised to find her applying for the position of executive secretary at all.

Speaking of the general manager of the CL Group, Joey hadn't met him yet.

She just heard that he was a rich, handsome and talented young man. The most remarkable thing about him was that his private secretary general wasn't a woman, but a man. Though he was the general manager, the whole company was actually at his disposal, because the president of the CL Group was his father who was nominal and never came to work in the company.

Vivian found her sister's condescending tone as the superior unbearable. She suddenly stood up and retorted arrogantly, "Joey, stop treating me this way. You know my resume better than anyone else. My name, my height, my age, my educational background, and anything else. Don't be so pretentious. Just tell me, am I getting the job or not?"
