Chapter 118
The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me
Quentin had started to change since Vivian came to work in the company.
Amanda had no idea that Vivian was Joeyâs sister at the time, because they rarely spoke to each other in the office. Apart from the surname, they couldn't be less similar to each other in every respect, including appearance and personality. Thus Amanda hadnât suspected a thing about their relationship.
âWhat?â
Joey was shocked again. Suddenly it crossed her mind that she had seen Vivian making out with a man in the stairwell during lunch break the other day. Was it Quentin?
She had no evidence sufficient to tell anyone else.
Amanda said, âItâs just my suspicion. Itâs not necessarily Vivian who heâs cheating with. Anyway, please keep an eye on him. I wouldnât forgive him if itâs true. Iâll divorce him if heâs cheating on me. I have my pride.â
Amanda looked at Amanda in a daze. She was reminded of herself several months ago when she had to pretend to be strong on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
âAll right, Amanda, Iâll keep an eye on them.â
Amanda promised her in an apologetic tone, because she was very sorry that the home wrecker was actually her own sister.
After leaving Amandaâs office, Joey went back to her desk to collect her things.
The transfer notice was soon posted on the bulletin of the company.
The HR officer Lily approached Joey with a big smile on her face, âJoey, congratulations! Itâs a position that most of us would kill for. Youâve managed to get the job in a month. Youâre really something!â
Annoyed by these sarcastic remarks, Joey looked up at Lilyâs smiling face and said, âIâm under the impression that youâre the happiest one in the company to hear the news of my new position. Do you think Amanda will promote you to the administrative director after Iâm gone?â
Lily put on a frigid smile when Joey was reading her mind. She raised her eyebrows and said indifferently, âYes, I do. But what would do you do about it? Youâre leaving and youâd better stop being so overbearing with me. Youâre not my boss.â
Joey shook her head and smiled, âIâve never been overbearing with you. I only respect a respectable person. Lily, Iâm kindly reminding you that, if you continue to be so mean and selfish, I bet youâre not even getting a promotion in two years.â
The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me ï¤Chapter 117 Help me find out who he's cheating with Although Amanda hadnât told her about her replacement, Joey knew very well that Lily would never be a candidate for the position.
Lily was a senior employee in the company, but she was careless and not fully committed to her work. Besides, she was selfish, jealous and mean.
She should be grateful that she hadnât been fired yet. A promotion was apparently out of her reach.
She was neither sensible nor dedicated enough to be rewarded. In fact, it was just her wishful thinking.
Lily couldnât care less about Joeyâs well-intended admonition. She even believed that Joey was laughing at and lecturing her. She snorted, ready to fight back.
Just then, Leonard, whose desk was right behind Joeyâs, couldnât stand it anymore. He got up and said, âJoey, have you collected your things? May I help you?â
âNo, thanks. Itâs not heavy at all. I can manage it myself.â
Joey smiled and declined his offer of help. She had been getting on very well with Leonard in the past few days. As Amandaâs administrative assistant, his work had involved interactions with Joey on many matters. Therefore, they had become quite familiar with each other.
âJoey, Iâm helping you.â
He insisted and picked up Joeyâs box. They went to the General Manager Office shoulder to shoulder.
Lily was shocked and angry.
However, she didnât dare to lose her temper in the presence of Leonard, because she had a secret crush on this handsome young man.
Three years older than Leonard, Lily thought she was pretty enough for him.
It was just that Leonard wasnât interested in her at all, thus she hadnât made a confession to him.
Yet tomorrow is another day. Who knows what would happen?
