The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me

Chapter 290: Thoughtful As Always

There were too much happening over the past four years, which became obstacles to their relationship.

It was really difficult to remove them all at once.

Suddenly, as if by magic, Allen took out a white bag from behind him, in which there was a multilayer

breakfast box.

"I bought you breakfast."

Allen held Joey's hand and placed the box in her hand.

His hand was slightly cold. The moment she touched it, her heart missed a beat. After taking the box,

she said in a slightly awkward way, "I have to go to work and have no time for it."

"You're the president now. Who dares to say anything for you to have breakfast in your own office?"

Allen then said seriously, "You had the bad habit of skipping breakfast, and haven't changed it yet. It

seems that I should continue keeping an eye on you."

Joey smiled quietly with her head down. Hearing what he said ... she felt as if they had gone to the

past.

It turned out that he had never changed, thoughtful as always.

Joey looked up and intended to invite Allen into the room. As president of the company, she could go to

work whenever she wanted, not necessarily the time for breakfast.

However, before she could say anything, Allen said, "Philip is waiting for you downstairs in his car. You

can go to the company and I should also go to work now."

As the mayor, he is very busy with his work.

Joey was slightly disappointed. Just as she wanted to get close to him, he chose to step back and was

even willing to let Philip have her.

Seeing the frustration on Joey's face, Allen sighed and comforted her. "Don't think too much. I just ...

don't want you to be defamed by others. After all, I haven't formally divorced Yolanda yet. If I get too

close to you now, it would definitely get you into trouble. It is unfair to you."

He couldn't bear the thought of having her suffer that.

In his heart, Joey had never been “the other woman”. The real one was Yolanda, but she remained his

wife now. He knew that he could not stop others from gossiping. So he could only resist the impulse in

his heart and protect her by keeping their instance.

Hearing this, Joey was touched. He cared about her so much that he took everything into

consideration.

Therefore, Allen left first and Joey walked out of the hotel after several minutes.

Philip bought a red Ferrari yesterday, which was quite cool and fancy. He had been waiting for Joey at

the entrance of the hotel for a while.

Seeing Joey walk out after Allen, he felt somewhat upset. It seemed that Allen cared more for Joey

than he thought. Unfortunately, he lost to the conspiracy four years ago.

As soon as Joey got into the car, she couldn't wait to take a look at the breakfast Allen bought for her.

The box was four-layered, each with four compartments, 16 in total with 16 kinds of desserts. All of

them were her favorite.

Joey was no stranger to City A, so she clearly knew that it was impossible for Allen to buy these

specialty desserts in one place. Moreover, there were some places far away from each other. That was

to say, Allen had actually been to several places early in the morning for her breakfast, which must take

him one hour or two.

Joey felt really touched beyond words.

Philip planned to drive Joey to a newly opened tea restaurant not far away for breakfast, but when

seeing the breakfast box in her hand, he forced a smile and then drove straight to the company.

Seeing that Joey gazed at the desserts without the intention to eat them, Philip asked while driving,

"Why don't you eat? They are all your favorite food."

Joey carefully closed the lid and put it back in the bag. She smiled and said, "I'll have them in the office.

It's easy to spill in the car."

This box of breakfast was full of Allen's love, and she didn't want to waste even a little bit of it.

The tenderness in Joey's eyes caused Philip's hands on the steering wheel to tremble slightly.

Immediately after, he changed the topic as if nothing had happened and said, "Yesterday afternoon,

you didn't go to the company. There was something weird happening."

Joey became serious. She immediately turned to look at Philip and asked anxiously, "What's that?"

Philip replied, "The share price suddenly went up, at such a fast speed that ... it seemed to be quite

unusual."

Hearing this, Joey fell silent.

Logically speaking, this was beneficial to her and the company, but Joey noticed there was something NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

wrong, so did Philip.

"What do you think of this?"

Joey asked with a serious expression.

"Someone is behind this."

Philip looked assertive.

Joey nodded and sneered. "We don't even need to guess... The person must be him."

Philip nodded in agreement. "Besides you, only he can benefit from the increase of the company's

stock price. Looks like he wants to get out after making a fortune."
