The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 42 A mountainous village of giant salamanders
Joey was shocked to hear the news.
She had lied to her parents yesterday that she had gone on a business trip to another city to discuss about a development program. The lie became reality today.
It seemed that the lie had gotten back at itself.
John Walter frowned at her lack of response. He went over to her and said, “Don’t you want your job after you hooked up with Mayor Allen Charles? Let me give you a word of advice. A woman who depends on her man will always come to a bad end.”
Joey wasn’t happy to hear that, “Who says I will depend on a man? Don’t look down on a girl. I’m going with you. It’s my work after all. I will never make up excuses to evade what I should do. Mr. Walter, after you then.”
There was no denying that she was less competent in some aspects, but she had always been an independent young woman. She knew Allen was the mayor and he was wealthy and privileged. But she had never intended to depend on him in any way because she had her own dreams and aspirations.
John Walter put on a vague smile before he turned around to walk toward the door.
