The internal phone rang again.
“Secretary James, go and make a cup of tea.”
Secretary James immediately stood up, took two steps forward, and stopped. She ran back and asked Megan in a low voice, “Ms. Reed, what coffee does Mr. Mayor like to drink?”
“Whatever.”
“What?”
“Anything.” Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Leo basically didn’t drink coffee unless he was at a social event to dispel the effects of alcohol. He just wanted to send Secretary James away.
Secretary James answered and ran to the pantry in a hurry.
As soon as she disappeared, Megan felt her wrist was tightened. Leo was so strong that he pulled her into the office without much effort and locked the door.
He just stood there and looked down at her. “You…”
Megan leaned against the door and sighed softly. “It doesn’t hurt. It’s okay. It’s not serious. Vadal has already dealt with it for me. I’m not angry, and you don’t have to apologize to me on Sasha’s behalf. There’s really nothing going on between me and Paul. He came to me because Vada asked him to. I remember that we haven’t divorced yet, so I won’t cuckold you. Don’t worry.”
She knew what he was going to say, so she simply answered all his questions at once to save him the trouble of asking them one by one.
He snorted and said, “You know me very well.”
“The secretary knows her boss. This is the most basic professionalism.”
He pinched her chin and wanted to get closer to see her injury, but she immediately tilted her head to avoid his hand and moved to the side. “Does Mr. Mayor have anything else to ask?”
He was a little dissatisfied. “Do you really not want to see me?”
“Yes,” She nodded.
“Megan, you’ve been losing your temper recently,” he said. novelxo.com fast update
“I should have been on my period. My mood swings caused me to have a bad temper, Please forgive me, Mr. Mayor.”.
“Does it hurt?”
“I just said it doesn’t hurt.”

“I’m not talking about your face.” He looked down at her lower abdomen and said, “If you really don’t feel well, you can lie on the sofa for a while. Secretary James will bring you hot coffee later. You can sleep after drinking it.”
She shook her head. “I took some medicine. I’m not on my period so it doesn’t hurt.”
Seeing her cold attitude, Leo didn’t force her anymore. He just softened his tone and said, “I’ve already warned Sasha not to come to the company again. Don’t worry, you won’t see her again.”
“This is your private affair, so I won’t express my opinion.” She reminded him, “Tomorrow is Grandpa’s birthday party. Remember to go back to Mayor Old Manor early.”
Leo said, “The servants at home called this morning and said that Grandpa has been in poor health
recently. The doctor said that he needs to rest and it’s not suitable for him to hold a birthday.
banquet.”
Megan understood and nodded. “Then the birthday party tomorrow is canceled, right?”
“Yes. If Grandpa saw your face, he would be worried and ask all kinds of questions.”
Megan smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Mayor. I won’t tell Grandpa about you and Sasha. This is between the two of you. Find a chance to tell him yourself.”
“I’m not afraid that you’ll complain.”
She interrupted him, “If that’s the case, we’ll be free tomorrow. There won’t be any other
schedule.”
“Well, I’ll take you to the hospital after work today and treat your wound carefully.”
“There’s no need.” She raised her head and looked into his eyes. “If you’re free tomorrow, let’s go
get the divorce certificate.”
His face darkened slightly. “What’s the rush?”
“There’s only one day left between tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Besides, we’ll be free
tomorrow. We will both feel free if we can do it as soon as possible.”
Leo sneered. “Free? Divorce me will make it convenient for you to date?”
“If that’s what you think, there’s nothing I can do,”
Leo turned around and returned to his seat. His tone was businesslike as he said, “There’s a
temporary schedule tomorrow. I’ll tell you to do it.”
Megan was furious. “What temporary schedule? Didn’t you already buy the wedding ring and wedding dress? What is it this time? A rehearsal?”

“Let’s have team-building exercises.”
“What?”
“Secretary James will take over your work in the future, but she is not familiar with everyone. It’s a good time to hold a team-building exercise. On the one hand, the employees can relax, and on the other hand, it will be convenient for Secretary James to work in the future.”
His words sounded righteous, but in her heart, she had always been a little suspicious of this
matter.
Team-building exercises?
Since she came to the company, she had never formed a team-building exercise.
Leo was not the kind of boss who would waste time on this kind of thing. He would only feel bored.
He was just finding an excuse not to divorce tomorrow, wasn’t he?
The day would finally come. She could afford to wait for just one day.
“Okay, then I’ll book a restaurant and a KTV.”
“Book a hotel. We’ll be there for seven days,” he said.
Megan frowned. “Seven days?”
“Yes. I went to Mount Rosy Clouds with Mr. Lau last time. The scenery there is very good. We can go camping there.”
She knew what he was going to do. “It’s just delaying it for another week, Mr. Mayor. Even if we go camping for seven days, we’ll still have to get a divorce when we get back.”
He suddenly smiled and said, “But I can’t let you see him for seven days, can I?”
Megan was lost for words.
“According to what you said, the average speed of his changing girlfriends is less than 20 days. Then let’s waste seven days first, lest he comes to my company to please you after work every day.”
“If you hadn’t insisted on me working overtime until midnight yesterday, he wouldn’t have come at
all!”
Leo turned a deaf ear to her and said, “It’s been almost a week since you met. If you go camping in the mountains for another week, it’ll be a total of 15 days.” He tapped his fingers on the table and said, “There are still five days left. I still have a way to prevent you from seeing each other.”
She was completely speechless. “What exactly do you want?”
“Put it off,” he said bluntly. “Let’s put it off until he loses interest in you. You have no choice but to
stay by my side.”
