The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me

Chapter 279 Fighting Each Other

Joey Linderman got out of the hospital. It was already nine o’clock. Philip Ham was worried so he

called her and asked when she would go back and if she needed him to fetch her.

Joey rejected him gently and said that she would be back soon. When Joey hung up the phone, she

unintentionally saw a disheveled female beggar with torn clothes not far from her.

The female beggar was dirty, especially her face. Her face looked extremely filthy and the parts of her

skin that were exposed in the torn clothes were full of red dots. She looked extremely bad.

Joey felt bad for her. She walked towards her and put all her cash into the broken bowl in front of the

female beggar.

The female beggar raised her head and looked at Joey. She opened her mouth and wanted to speak. It

seemed that she wanted to tell something to Joey, but she suppressed the urge and lowered her head

to look at the ground.

Joey was shocked suddenly. She had a delusion, feeling that this female beggar seemed a little familiar

but this thought of familiarity faded in the blink of an eye as if it was nothing.

Joey smiled and thought she had over-thought. No one among the people she knew was a beggar.

Then, Joey stood up, hailed a taxi, and left.

However, she didn’t notice that the female beggar got up immediately and ran to the middle of the road.

She opened her arms to stop a taxi with her body.

This was because she knew that with her dirty outfit, no one was going to bother her if she hailed a taxi

in a normal way.

“Dirty beggar, what are you doing? Are you crazy and looking for death…”

A young driver immediately braked his car angrily. He lowered the car window and scolded the female

beggar fiercely.

The female beggar immediately threw the dozen of 100 yuan cash that Joey gave her at the young

driver through the car window. Then she opened the car door at the back and said clearly, “Follow the

car in front.”

Her voice actually sounded young. It seemed like she was only twenty-something.

The young driver disliked the female beggar who was dirty and smelly. However, the cash scattered on

his body was more attractive. So, he clenched his teeth, stepped on the accelerator, and followed the

car that Joey was riding. He thought in his mind that he would spend some money to clean the car after

the female beggar got off. He would definitely make a lot of money from this deal.

Joey missed Allen Charles who was in the hospital in her mind and she didn’t notice that there was a

car that had been following her. As soon as the taxi arrived, she paid the driver and walked into the

hotel tiredly.

“Reston Hotel!”

The female beggar also got out of the car and she stood far away. She looked at the magnificent five-

star hotel and murmured softly.

She didn’t move forward. She found a corner opposite the hotel and laid on the ground. She could see

the people entering the hotel through the entrance clearly at her spot.

In this big and hectic city, no one had noticed this beggar make this strange move…

The next day!

Early in the morning, Joey and Philip went to Phoebus company before eight like normal office workers.

The new president’s office had been prepared. Sitting on the large soft president’s chair, looking at the This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

bright and luxurious office, Joey had to admit that she felt really good for being the president.

Joey assigned a manager position to Philip and his office was next door to her.

Philip could choose to not work here, but he was worried about her being alone in Ben Hawk’s territory.

He wanted to accompany her every day. Joey had no choice and she couldn’t convince him, so she

had assigned him a position that was close to her.

It was close to work time when there was sudden chaos outside. It seemed like there was a fight. Joey

could see clearly that two people were fighting outside through the transparent glass wall. However,

many employees were curious and they surrounded them together. So, Joey couldn’t see who were

fighting there.

She called the secretary outside. Joey asked, “What’s happening outside?”

This secretary was Helen Kemp. She was Ben’s personal secretary when he was still the president.

Ben didn’t take her with him but let her remain as the president’s secretary after his demotion

yesterday. The reason was pretty obvious.

He wanted Helen to stay in order to watch Joey.

She had Ben’s order to carry out and she couldn’t compare herself to Joey’s status now. Helen

wouldn’t dare to be that arrogant like when she met Joey yesterday. When she knew it was Joey’s call,

she quickly answered respectfully, “Mrs. Linderman, Mr. Hawk and the new male secretary were

fighting each other because they had contradicting opinions.”

Now, Ben had been demoted to the vice manager of the sales department. This position was even

lower than the position when he was in the Walter Group.
