As Leo Mayor's secretary, Megan Reed handles everything from basic necessities of life to company projects. Everyone thinks that Leo Mayor has a good secretary who works hard, but no one knows that she is also his wife. After three years of marriage, Megan Reed knew very well that she was just a substitute for his dream girl. She tried hard to imitate the appearance of his unrequited love, delusional that he would like her. Until one day, Leo Mayor found a substitute who was more like a his unrequited love than her. She took the initiative to sign the divorce agreement: "Divorce, Mr. Mayor."
"Ms. Reed, come to the Golden Beach."
Megan was woken up by a phone call. She looked up at the time. It was 2:30 a.m.
"Now?"
A familiar and lazy voice came from the other end of the line and sneered, "As my secretary, you have to be on standby 24 hours a day. If you can't do it, you can quit."
Megan had a serious cold and had been dizzy after taking some medicine, but when she heard this, she immediately sobered up a little.
She took a deep breath, pinched her thigh, and forced herself to wake up, "Okay, I'll be right there."
She changed her clothes and went downstairs to race. The Golden Beach was a famous bar in Houston. It was located in the downtown area, and the car could not drive in at all.
She had no choice but to park the car at the entrance of the alley and trot all the way in her ten-centimeter high heels. When she finally arrived at the gate of the Golden Beach, she looked at her watch again.
It was 2:57 a.m.
Fortunately, it only took her 27 minutes, within the time limit Leo had requested.
After tidying up her hair, she walked in.
The bar was crowded, but Leo was still the most eye-catching one.
Dressed in a black suit, he sat in the booth with a glass in his hand. He slowly swirled the amber liquid inside. He had a wild and clear outline and his posture was elegant and outstanding – he was always like this, allowing others to notice him at a glance.
He raised his wrist to look at his watch and frowned slightly.
Megan didn't dare to delay any longer. She quickened her pace and stood beside him, "Mr. Mayor, I'm here."
Before Leo could say anything, another two voices came from the opposite booth.
"Oh, it's 2:59! It's really before three o'clock!"
"Hahaha, Mr. Mayor, you're amazing. It is really half an hour."
Only then did Megan realize that there were three other people in the booth, two men and one woman.
The two men sat side by side, while the woman... sat in Leo's arms.
Leo smiled slightly and looked at the woman in his arms, "I won."
The woman pouted and hit him, "Okay, okay, you can do whatever you want. I'll cooperate, okay?"
The two men on the opposite side immediately shouted excitedly.
Megan frowned. "...What do you mean by winning?"
One of the men kindly explained to her, "Mr. Mayor said that his secretary is very capable. No matter when she is called or where she is, she will definitely appear in front of him in half an hour. We didn't believe it, and Ms. Vance didn't believe it either, so we took a bet to see if you can really arrive in 30 minutes."
As the man spoke, he put the car key in front of Leo with great regret. "Alas, it's a pity that the limited edition sports car I just bought was gone. I only drove it a few times."
Leo took the key and twirled it around his fingers. He smiled and said, "You must admit defeat."
Then he turned to the other one and asked, "What about you?"
"Okay, okay, okay. Here you are. This is the key to my villa. It's yours now." After that, the man glared at Megan unhappily and said, "Ms. Reed, is it a high salary to be a secretary? Is there a need to be so dedicated? You made me lose a villa worth hundreds of millions of dollars!"
Megan pursed her lips tightly and did not say anything.
Her gaze fell on the woman sitting next to him.
The bar was dimly lit and mottled. She had never paid attention to the woman's appearance. The moment she saw her face, Megan's palms were instantly soaked in sweat.
Sasha Vance was a popular star recently.
Most importantly...
She looked so much like that person.
In fact... it was even more similar than her.
Leo didn't do anything special. He still leaned lazily on the sofa with his long legs crossed and one arm on the back of the seat behind the woman. He didn't allow the woman to please him, but he didn't refuse either.
He looked at Megan with a faint smile, anger, and said flatly, "It's all right. You can go now."
Megan took a deep breath and slowly said, "So, you called me here in the middle of the night just for a bet?"
Leo raised his eyebrows and said with a gentlemanly and calm smile, "Or else?"
