The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me

Of course, Joey had already figured it out. Otherwise, she wouldn't have said that on purpose.

Helen was pissed off. She raised her slender fingers to point at those drivers, who took Joey's side, and Joey, who was gloating. Eventually, she was too angry to utter a word.

She stomped and turned to Ben, who was in the car. She pouted and said in a coquettish tone, "Mr. Hawk, look. She's bullying me. They're all bullying me. Help me. Don't let them do this to me." However, since the moment Ben saw Joey, he had been fixing his gaze on her.

Joey looked calm and confident. Although Helen was a bossy woman with no match in the company, Joey managed to get the better of Helen with a few words. Ben suddenly found that Joey had become more charming than before. Therefore, he ignored Helen and stared at Joey, saying with a smile. "It's been four years since we last met. Smashing my car isn't a way to celebrate our reunion. This wasn't your style in the past. It looks like you've changed a lot." Joey looked him in the eye and chuckled, "Mr. Hawk, if you want to catch up, we can do it later. But first, please drive to the side and make way for the cars behind you."

Ben agreed to do it without hesitation. Perhaps, Joey impressed him so much that he forgot to hold her responsible for smashing his car.

However, when he moved the car to the side and got off, trying to talk to Joey, Joey already got in her car. As soon as he moved out of the way, she drove past him without even looking at him.

The cars behind drove past Ben one after another. Some people even leaned out of the window, cursing and making angry gestures at Ben.

Choked by some dust, Ben watched Joey's car recede in the distance. He was so upset that he spat on the ground several times. And then, he got into his car and started the engine to chase after Joey.

Helen, who hadn't got in the car, anxiously patted the door that had been shut by Ben. "Mr. Hawk, I haven't got in yet. Open the door, please!"

"Take a taxi to the company yourself. I have something else to do. Goodbye."

With that, Ben pressed the accelerator and the car shot forward.

"Hey..."

Abandoned halfway, Helen screamed angrily. Her tears almost came out, but she couldn't do anything about it.

What could she do? She was just a mistress.

A mistress was nothing more than a pet. When he liked you, you were somebody. When he didn't like you anymore, you became nobody.

Even though Ben left Helen for Joey immediately, he lost her at a crossroad.

For fear that he might be late for the shareholder meeting, Ben had no choice but to give up for now and return to the company.

Today was the fourth anniversary of the founding of Phoebus Company. Ben chose this day to hold the shareholder meeting because he was preparing to develop an unprecedented large-scale project, which was to build the largest commercial building in City A.

The funds needed for this large project were not something he could mobilize by himself. He had to gather all the shareholders and obtain their approval at the meeting. Otherwise, he could not initiate the project.

When Ben arrived at the company, all the managers in his company's headquarters were already sitting in the conference room and waiting for him. But not a single shareholder had shown up.

There was even no sign of Chance or Vivian.

Instantly, Ben's heart skipped a beat. This was unusual, and even weird.

In the past, when he convened a shareholder meeting, all the shareholders would arrive on time, except for Chance, who would occasionally be absent because he was busy in the hospital. As for Vivian, she attended the meetings every time. What's more, every time she came, she would go to his office and have intimacy with him.

But this time ... Ben suddenly had a bad feeling, but he couldn't figure out what had gone wrong.

"Show me today's stock market right now!"

Ben was a shrewd businessman, after all. After pondering for a moment, he figured out what could be the problem. Sitting in his chair, he straightened his back and said to the manager in charge of the stock market analysis with a nervous expression. However, before the manager could put his computer in front of Ben, a cold voice came from outside the office. "I'll save you the trouble. The shareholders you're waiting for have arrived!"0000
