He walked to the administrative office and before entering he knocked on the grey door. The sister, who was the in charge of this place was setting the book shelf when she heard the knock. She asked him to come inside, politely asking him to sit on the couch.

After passing pleasantries, the mayor wasted no more time and asked her about the reason.The woman for some reason appeared to be guilty. She was not looking him in the eye and have looking at her bookshelf. “I am sorry, Mr. Mayor. There has been some misunderstanding from my part. I mistakenly checked someone else’s record.

Raymond Corporation,“What the hell is this?” Georgina yelled with anger marking her beautiful face. She threw the papers in anger in the dustbin and gave Elissa the meanest look she had possessed. “Do you even know your work? Are you really at this position because of your talent?” she mocked, indirectly accusing her of seducing the higher-ups.Elissa clenched her teeth together and kept her anger under control.

Confusion, shock, and worry took place when he saw her there. What was she doing here? He wondered and walked up to her.“Elissa?” he called her name. She looked up, her eyes half open and when she let go of the door, she wobbled and fell in his embrace. Carson caught her and noticed that she was drugged. “Eli, what happened?” he asked, his voice coming urgently.“Hot….I feel hot” she mumbled and snuggled closer to him. His jaw ticked a

Mayor's Residency,Amanda paced in her room, biting her nail in frustration and anger. Her plan failed. And this was her fault, partially. If she didn't abandon Elissa outside the door, her plan would have been successful. A while ago, when she called the man whom she arranged to rape Elissa, he with annoyance said no one came. Amanda not only lose her money but also her plan failed.Her phone rings and upon checking the name, she doesn't want to pick up. It was Georgina.
