“You…”
Leo looked back at her and saw the confusion and doubt on her face. He sneered and said, “Can’t I?”
She looked away and said, “Of course you can.”
He was a good citizen who lived by the law. She and Mr. Travis were the “bad guys” who wanted to use their petty tricks to escape punishment. He could do whatever he wanted with justice.
Seeing that her attitude had softened and that her actions just now had indeed made a mistake, Leo felt much better for no reason. He asked, “Why did Paul say that you’re his girlfriend?”
Megan shook her head, thought for a moment, and said, “It seems to be because I look like his
ex-girlfriend.”
Leo sneered disdainfully and said, “That’s a lame excuse. No matter what, he has been through a lot. Why is he still so old fashioned when it comes to hitting on women?”
“Who knows? Maybe he is joking.”
“It’s good that you know,” Leo’s expression softened a little and his tone was indifferent, “Also, many people in Houston know that you’re my secretary. Don’t make such a scene. I can’t afford to
lose face.”
“Didn’t you announce that I was fired? No company in Houston dares to hire me. They all know that I’ve been fired by you and I’m no longer your secretary.”
Leo looked at her coldly and said, “It takes time to change a fixed impression. You’ve been with me for a long time, and many people will subconsciously associate your behavior with mine,
“Then what do you want me to do? Stay at home and not go out until everyone’s impressions are destroyed?”
Leo frowned, “Why didn’t I find out before? You’re quite good at talking.” novelbin
“I’m trying to reason with you. Mr. Mayor, you’ve been in a high position for a long time, so your don’t understand the helplessness of ordinary workers like us. If we don’t work, we won’t have money, and if we don’t have money, we will starve to death. Also…” Megan took a deep breath and continued, “My mother needs to be treated. Am I supposed to stay at home and watch her die without paying the medical expenses?”
He looked at her deeply and pursed his lips without saying a word.
“Yes, you’re right. You can ruin my career with just a few words. If you call the hospital, they will use my mother’s treatment to urge me. According to your original prediction, I will definitely come back to beg you in three days at most, right?” novelxo.com fast update
After a moment of silence, he said, “You’ve been with me for three years, and your work ability is not bad. It will delay a lot of things if I try to adapt to a new secretary. As long as you’re willing to admit your mistake, I can give you another chance to come back.”
Megan also laughed, “Mr. Mayor, where do you want me to go? Back to the position of Mrs. Mayor, or back to work as a secretary?”
“Is there a difference?”
“If you want me to go back and be a secretary, I won’t. Mr. Mayor said in the bar that day that if I disobey you and insist on not drinking that bottle of wine, I will disappear from your sight forever. I will carry out every word you said, and it will be the same this time. As for going back to be Mrs.
Mayor…”
She licked her lips and said, “I became Mrs. Mayor because I looked like Tessa. It’s obvious that Ms. Vance is more suitable for this position than me now. I don’t want to compete for it, so I gave it up.’
Leo took a deep drag on the cigarette and exhaled, “The title of Mrs. Mayor can only belong to Tessa. No one else is worthy of it.”

“Mr. Mayor, this is your private matter. As your secretary, it’s not convenient for me to intervene, not to mention that I am not even your secretary now.” She knocked on the door and said, “Open the door. I’ll go and see Mr. Travis. He should have finished.”
“Do you think he’s good?”
“We’ve only known each other for a day and don’t know each other well. But now only the Travis Group is willing to hire me and give me a job. I don’t want to lose it.”
Leo didn’t move and stared at her deeply for a long time.
Perhaps it was because there was no comparison in the past, so he felt that she looked similar to
Tessa.
But now, because of Sasha’s appearance, when he looked at her again, it really didn’t seem so similar.
Tessa died of an acute illness three years ago. She had always been in poor health and her face often pale. Leo had wanted to take her to the hospital for a detailed examination, but she firmly opposed it. In the end, he could only give up.
However, when he went abroad for a meeting, he suddenly received the news of Tessa’s death.
It was said that she died of an acute heart attack, which was a sudden death. In fact, any normal person had a very small chance of sudden death, but this probability was very small, Her death could only be attributed to an accident, and no other causes could be found.
By the time he got back, Tessa’s family had already cremated her. He hadn’t even seen her for the
Get Bonus
Humans seemed to be like this. If they suddenly lost something, it would be so unforgettable.
After three years, Tessa’s face was actually a little blurry. He could only rely on those old photos to accurately and clearly distinguish her outline, but obviously…
She was not as clear as his secretary, who was with him day and night. Every time he looked up, he could see her clearly.
Tonight, he saw her for the first time in the private room. She was wearing a tight black suit and a small leather skirt of the same color. Her makeup was exquisite, and her hair was tied up high behind her head. She looked gorgeous and breathtaking, which he had never seen before.
He had to admit that in terms of appearance, this substitute was indeed more beautiful than Tessa.
While he was thinking, Megan suddenly turned her head and asked, “Why are you looking at me like that?”
Leo sobered up a little and felt a little embarrassed. He choked on his cigarette and coughed a few times before saying with a frown, “You look so ugly today.”
Megan didn’t want to argue with him anymore, so she didn’t answer him. She just said, “Open the door. Mr. Travis is waiting for me.”
He didn’t like the way she was now and wasn’t obedient at all, “Ms. Reed, you’re a smart person. I’ll give you one last chance. Don’t use yourself as a bet.”
“Thanks to you, I have nothing but myself.”
He asked her, “What if you lose?”
