Chapter 29
The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me
âWhy...why are you here?â
She had just seen his car parked outside the front door of the building. How could he show up at the back door now?
Allen Charles stared at her earnestly and said disappointedly, âWhy are you avoiding me? Didnât we have a good time last night?â
Joey hadnât show up downstairs for him to pick up this morning and her phone had been powered off the whole day, He knew she had been avoiding him. So he had decided to park his car outside the front door on purpose and secretly wait for her at the back door.
As expected, he found her at the back door, which proved that she had been avoiding him.
She was heartbroken to hear his accusation, especially when he mentioned last night because it reminded her of Ben Hawkâs bestial behavior again.
But she had to pretend to be indifferent, âLast night was a stupid mistake because I didnât know you are actually the mayor then. Mr. Mayor, please donât make a fool of me. Iâm afraid I am not the right girl for you. Go find someone else!â
She pushed the door open and stormed out the building.
âNo, Iâve always been serious with you.â
Allen followed her and hugged her from behind, explaining eagerly, âI didnât tell you my true identity because I didnât want to put you under pressure. I love you, you know it!â
His confession of love didnât cheer her up. She found it painful instead.
âDonât say your love me. We donât have a future together. We should...break up and never see each other again.â
Joey closed her eyes and tears started to run down her cheeks.
The nicer he was to her, the more she found herself unworthy of him. She could do nothing but break up with him.
âNo, I love you. Weâre going to have a future together. Please trust me.â
Allen was almost heartbroken to hear her words. He turned her around and kissed her passionately.
âEmm...donât...let go of me.â
Joey struggled in his arms because she knew if she didnât, she would certainly be lost in passionate kisses again.
âYou bastard, take your hands off Joey.â
Suddenly there came a manâs angry voice from behind.
Before Allen knew it, the man charged toward him and punched him so hard that he took several steps back and almost fell down. His nose was bleeding.
âAh!
Joey cried out in shock. She turned around to find that the attacker was Philip.
Philip had taken Sarahâs advice and happily rushed to the back door. When he found Joey being kissed by a strange man and struggling, he immediately rushed to her rescue. He was still angry when he saw Allen standing on his feet âYou bastard, how dare you assault Joey? Iâm going to teach you a lesson!â
The two men got into a fight.
Allen Charles, as the mayor, had joined the army and certainly picked up some fighting skills. Philip had been a well-known master of taekwondo back in college. They were both good fighters and it looked like a tough game.
But not before long, Allen was no match for Philip who had thrown him a few punches.
âStop fighting...stop...â
Now that Allen was injured, Joey was anxious to stop them.
But their fight was too fierce to break off.
Philip was angry at Allen for having taken advantage of Joey.
Allen was mad at Philip for having interrupted their kissing. He assumed that Philip was so angry because he had a crush on Joey. He certainly wouldnât go easy on Philip.
âStop fighting...God...â
They didnât listen to her. Joey rushed to part them. Unfortunately she was accidently kicked hard by either of them before she could approach them.
She fell down on the ground and screamed in pain before she passed out.

âBaby...â
Philip and Allen cried at the same time. They immediately stopped fighting and rushed to her.
They reached to pick her up from the ground. Neither of them was compromising.
Allen Charles glared at Philip, âLet go of her!â
