Greg, Faye, and Lilian only fell asleep late into the night. In between, they talked about ways to ruin Kaze and Darcy. Concerned about the donors’ list, Faye arrived early at the office and instructed the staff to remove Lilyrose Commerce Guild from the list. Greg and Lilian were still in bed at that point. “Save me the small talk. Change into your uniform and form a line. “I received notice from the mayor’s office that the mayor will be coming for an inspection.” Greg pulled Faye away and waved his arm. Although they were intimate the night before, Faye did not mean anything to him. His career took precedence over any woman. Faye pouted. She knew Greg too well to express any displeasure. “Don’t just stand there. Didn’t you hear Mr. Nanas? Get out there and line up for the VIP.” Faye turned around and yelled at the other staff. Minutes later, dozens of people formed a line outside the building. Greg stood in the middle while Faye stayed by his side. They were
Last night, Lilian and Faye gave Greg a night to remember. Although they were not as pretty as Darcy, they were unrestrained in bed. They knew how to please a man for sure. Greg told Faye to powder her nose, wanting her to try and hit on the mayor. He could gain the mayor’s favor if the latter was pleased with Faye’s service. Besides, Greg could earn the right to brag about sleeping with the same woman as the privileged-born mayor. “Really, Greg? You don’t mind?” Faye got the hint, and her eyes sparkled. She could secure a pampered life by becoming the mayor’s woman. Greg said with a smile, “I only want what’s best for you. It’ll help me if you get together with the mayor too.” Though many things were left unsaid, the message was clear. Greg was honest about his plan to Faye. Faye nodded. “Of course. Please put in a good word for me too.” She might work for the Red Foundation in Lilyrose, but she did not hold any important roles. Greg would have to put her o
Greg was furious. Somehow or rather, he bowed to Kaze. More infuriatingly, the loser accepted the grand gesture instead of moving away. Kaze was blind to his actions. He did not deserve a bow from them. Faye was ballistic. Stomping her heels, she clomped her way to Kaze. “Don’t you know where this is, Kaze? “This is the office of the Red Foundation. The residents around here are rich and powerful.“What’s a moocher like you doing here?” Faye pointed at Kaze with a look of disdain. Greg pulled himself together and said sternly, “I don’t care what you are here for, nor do I want to know, Kaze. I don’t have time for you. “Now get lost! “I’m warning you. Don’t make me mad, or I’ll make you pay!” The mayor was arriving any minute, so Greg did not waste his time with Kaze. Faced with the pair’s tirade of abuse, Kaze remained unfazed. He shook his head amusedly. “I knew something was up. I thought pigs were flying since you welcomed me with open arms. “Sure enou
“Go on. I dare you to keep up with your act, Kaze. “If I hadn’t made that life-saving call to settle the Queens down last night, Conan would’ve killed you by now. “You never learn. You’re digging your own grave by disrespecting the mayor.” Greg stared at Kaze with a smirk. “We all heard you. I’ll tell the mayor when he arrives. “Wait till he gets you arrested and thrown in jail.” Greg looked at Kaze like he was a dead man. “You seem to have the wrong idea about the mayor, Greg.” Kaze said indifferently, “I need to clear the air for him. He isn’t like your kind. He won’t ruin others because he isn’t seen as a VIP.” The trust was that Kaze was not that petty. “Tsk. Who are you putting on a show for? Clear the air? Do you think you’re a spokesperson for the mayor’s office?” Faye clicked her tongue and said menacingly, “You’re not the mayor. How would you know what he is like?“Besides, even if he feels it’s beneath him to deal with you, you and I have unfinished busin
Greg and Faye stared ardently at the fleet from the mayor’s office. They furrowed their brows when their gaze fell on Kaze who was still standing there. In an ideal world, they would get the mayor to arrest Kaze and sentence him to death. However, there was a possibility that Kaze might say something that irked the mayor later. “Go away, Kaze. You seriously love to tempt fate.” Faye pulled a stern look and reprimanded, “Hurry up and get lost. The mayor has arrived. You’re setting yourself up if you get on his nerves.”Kaze said with an amused smile, “You are eager to see the mayor, Faye, so I’ll leave. Don’t be sorry later.” “Hmph! Why would I?” Faye turned her nose up at Kaze. “Don’t think for a second I’m oblivious to your plan, loser.“You want to befriend the mayor through us. “Well, sorry to burst your bubble, but that’s not happening. The mayor is not someone you can meet. “A moocher like you shouldn’t even show your face in front of him.” Faye smirked in de
“You’re asking for it, bastard!” The gang leader got up from the ground and shouted at his men furiously, “Don’t just stand there. Get him!” The dozen thugs pounced on Kaze without another word. The fleet from the mayor’s office pulled up 30 feet away. Getting out of the car, Caleb felt tingles on his scalp after what he saw. “Stop!” he yelled with a distorted look. “Mr. Leed?”Faye turned her head for a glance and was shocked. “Pause for now.” Furrowing his brows, Greg waved at the gangster to stop and led his crew toward Caleb. “Mr. Leed, I am the executive of the Red Foundation’s South River State branch, Greg Nanas,” Greg greeted courteously. Caleb was relieved as Kaze was alright and looking calm. Pulling a straight face, Caleb nodded, but his attitude did not sit well with Greg. Backed by the Red Foundation, Greg believed Caleb was not up to his level as he was only a second-in-command in a tiny city. The way he saw it, Caleb was disrespecting him. Howeve
“T-This is impossible!” Time passed, but the crowd remained in shock. Kaze was a moocher who took his wife’s last name. Somehow, he became the new mayor of Lilyrose. This had to be a mistake. However, Caleb and the government servants stood before Kaze in reverence. Action spoke louder than words. Kaze loved to put on a show, but it was unlikely he could get the deputy mayor on board with his act. Greg turned ashen as reality sank in that Kaze was the mayor. He led his employees at the Red Foundation to rehearse a big welcome under the hot sun. In the end, the person he had been wanting to suck up to was Kaze. Feeling awkward and angry, Greg wanted to sink into the ground. “Why… Why is he the mayor?” Faye put her hands over her lips in disbelief. Regret quickly washed over her. She took the time to reapply her makeup to get into the mayor’s pants. When Kaze showed up, she did not hold onto the chance. Instead, she taunted and looked down on him. It all m
While holding his anger back, Kaze laughed at Greg who was aggrieved. “You want to apologize but it doesn’t mean I have to forgive you and pretend that nothing ever happened. Is this your so-called pride?” Kaze then swung his hand at Greg, slapping the man away without any signs. Bang! Greg fell on the floor, his face swollen. No one expected Kaze to choose violence without explanation. Everyone, including Faye and the others, was shocked and terrified at what happened. Caleb was unfazed. He said coldly, “Greg Nanas, who do you think you are, talking to the mayor like an ignorant fool!” “KAZE LEE!” Greg shouted madly on the floor. He covered his face and got up on his feet. “Kaze Lee! How dare you slap me!? You think you can do whatever you want because you are the mayor? You are full of yourself! I’m not afraid of you!” Greg was furious, his expression resembled a ferocious wolf. The moment he found out that Kaze was the new mayor of Lilyrose, the rumors about Kaze
