Chapter 129
“Don’t be so down. I’ll contact the other accommodation nearby first.”
“Ms. Reed, you don’t look well.” Secretary James was kind of worried about her. “Let me do that for
you. Have some hot water and rest for a while.”
In the blink of an eye, Megan saw her holding two children with effort. The older one had fallen asleep
leaning against her, and the younger one seemed to be a little car sick, pursing his lips and crying in
her arms.
“I’m okay. Children first. I’m fine.”
Secretary James said, “Don’t push yourself too hard. Call me if you need help.”
“Alright.”
Leo was in the back seat, but his eyes were fixed in the direction of Megan.
However, Paul didn’t do anything. He just slept with his headphones on. That made Leo feel better.
However, Megan seemed to be very busy. She kept making phone calls and recording something with
a pen.
He sat too far away to hear who she was talking to.
Just then, she stood up and said, “I’m sorry, but I have something to tell.”
Letting out a sigh, she replied, “Because of an emergency in the hotel, we can only change the plan.
There’s only a smaller express hotel around, and the conditions are not as good as what we planned.
Furthermore, there are only six empty rooms in total. So I’ll ask the drivers to send the children and
their parents to the express hotel first, and the other staff will set up tents tonight.”
Just as she finished, the atmosphere in the car became tense.
“Ms. Reed, what’s going on?”
“We’ve been waiting for a long time. Now there’s even no place to stay at night?”
“Can tomorrow’s event be held?”
According to the plan, they would go for the sunrise in the morning, then climb the mountain and return
to the hotel at dusk. Finally, end the day with dinner in the hotel lobby together.
Now that the personnel was to be scattered and the camping conditions were far worse than that of the
hotel, some people might rest well. Their schedule for the next day would be affected for sure.
Now, even the schedule of the next few days would be affected too. Also, they might not be able to find
other hotels. Maybe they would live in tents for seven days.

The car jolted slightly, and Megan lost her balance and fell back into her seat.
Secretary James helped her up. “Are you all right?”
“It’s okay.” She stood up again and comforted everyone. “Don’t worry, everyone. I’ve been trying my
best to communicate with other hotels. Please make do with it for the next two days. I’ll think of
a way.”
The car soon arrived at the express hotels.
There were a total of three buses, and there were employees with children in the other two. She got off
the bus and went to inform them and ask mothers and children to get off the bus to check-in.
When she got back to the bus, the driver continued to drive to the camp.
When Casey went back to the bus, she felt her feet were as heavy as lead. She almost fell on the
stairs.
Fortunately, Paul was waiting upstairs. He quickly grabbed her and lifted her.
“Why do you look so pale?” Paul reached out to touch her forehead. “It’s not a fever, but why are you
sweating so much?”
She shook her head. “I’m okay. I just need some rest.”
“No way.” Paul took off his coat and wrapped it around her. “The Mayor Group is such a big company.
Why do you, as a secretary, have to take care of everything for it? Is everyone else here just to enjoy
the benefits?”
She patted him to show her well-being, “The people in the administrative department do make help, but Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
they are not experienced enough to commit these. No one listens to them.”
Paul said angrily, “You must have owed Leo a lot of money in your previous existence. So that you are
working like a horse in this life.”
She raised the corner of her mouth and said, “There’s only one month left. I’ll be free soon.”
“Then, I’ll take you abroad to have a good relax.”
“Is that a vacation? Is the benefits of the Travis Group so good?”
“All you think of is money.” Wade laughed. “Don’t worry. I’ll pay you as usual.”
“Ms. Reed!”
Leo’s voice came from behind.
When she heard this, she pushed Paul away and stood still.
Leo’s expression relaxed a little. “What happen in the hotel?”
“There’s a fire.”
“Fire? But Sasha is still there…”
Megan’s heart sank, but she didn’t get drowned. She quickly calmed down and said, “She’s a living
one. She’ll run away when she sees the fire rose, and there are others in the hotel.”
Paul was furious. “If Mr. Mayor is that worried, why don’t you go and have a look?”
Seeing that Paul was standing that close to Megan, he didn’t show any mercy. “Did you do that?”
“Me?” Paul sneered. “What’s wrong with me? Setting a fire?”
“Haven’t you always been dissatisfied with Sasha?”
“How would I arrange for someone to do that? Are you imagine that I will burn your sweetheart to
death?”
Leo didn’t give in. “You don’t. It’s enough as long as it’s on fire. I know what you’re up to. Just as I go
for her and you can be alone with Megan.”
“Mayer’s son, don’t apply your dark thoughts on others, okay?”
“Or do you want to ruin Sasha’s face?”
”
Paul tilted his head, and the atmosphere became even more tense. “What do you mean?”
“Ms. Reed was injured in the face by her, and you kept saying that you wanted a somewhat justice. If
Sasha’s face was burned, wouldn’t that exactly be an eye for an eye?”
“Leo, are you crazy?!”
Megan quickly came between the two of them, separating the two men who were ready to fight.
She sighed and said, “There are others on the bus. Can you stop that?”
Leo sneered. “Megan, this is the very person you’re bringing with you today?”
Megan didn’t reply.
“If Sasha’s face is burned, you know my way of doing things.”
Megan was also angry. “Of course, I know. If Sasha’s face is burned, I’ll bear all the consequences. If
you want revenge, just come at me. Is that okay now?”
His eyes flickered slightly. “I do hope this has nothing to do with you two.”
“It won’t be too late for you to get your even with me when the results come out.”
After that, she pulled Paul to the seat next to her and said in a softer tone, “Let’s not take him too hard.
Sasha’s face is too important to be of any flaws for him.”
Paul nodded comfortingly, but he was apparently still angry. He tilted his head and eyed outside.
Megan then went to deal with another troublesome one. “Please calm down, Mr. Mayor. The car is
jolting, and it’s not safe to keep standing. When everyone arrives at the campsite, I’ll ask the driver to
take you to Sasha.”
Looking at her whispering to Paul and then turning a business manner to him, Leo became even
angrier. “Megan, as long as you take care of your stuffs well, there won’t be so much trouble like this.”
Her stuffs?
Was he blaming her for being too close to Paul again?
She had no desire to explain anything to him anymore,
She felt a sharp pain in her abdomen, which made her squat down immediately. Cold sweat was
oozing out of her back.
Secretary James couldn’t stand it anymore and said loudly, “You’re wrong, Mr. Mayor. As long as
Sasha can take care of herself, things won’t be like this now.”
“What do you mean?”
“Wh
“After everything had been arranged. Sasha insisted on making soup for you. And now, the kitchen. of
the hotel was on fire, which lead to the current troubles.”
Leo frowned. “Make soup?”
“If Sasha hadn’t come today, nothing will happen, and Ms. Reed can sit down and rest. Even if she
does, as long as she prepared herself well to avoid being photographed, we don’t have to stay in the
service area for so long, and Ms. Reed doesn’t have to deal with those paparazzi. Also, as long as she
stays still in the hotel, all of us don’t have to stay in tents!”
Leo felt choked.
“To book accommodation for us, Ms. Reed had been busy making calls and presenting a nice face.
In the end, the express hotels agreed to spare six rooms for our women and children. She has been
busy since dawn. She could have had a good rest in the hotel, but Sasha’s come nearly burnt her out,
not only did she clean up the mess fr Sasha, but she also had to be blamed by you in front of so many
people!”
Leo was stunned.
“Mr. Mayor, you are so caring to your girlfriend, but how about your secretary?”
He pursed his lips tightly and stayed still.
Megan sighed and pointed to the back seat. “Please sit.”
He didn’t move.
She couldn’t be bothered to pay any other attention to him and sat down herself.
Paul handed her a thermos cup. “I just filled it with hot water in the service area. Take some and you’ll
feel better.”
“Thank you.”
The water was still a little too hot, but now the slight heat had warmed her whole body.
He took out a piece of brown sugar and put it into the thermos. “I’ve smelled it. It’s cooked with ginger.
It’ll warm you up.”
“How do you get that?”
“The Wendy in your company is very enthusiastic. She found the blood on your skirt in the service.
area, so she bought me this and asked me to make it for you.” Paul suddenly got confused. “Didn’t you
take a parka with you? How could someone else find the blood on your skirt? And where are your
clothes now?”
…I was too busy just now. I guess I left it somewhere.”
“Come on and take more of it.”
“Okay.” Megan turned around and said to Secretary James, “Thanks for carrying my bag all way
long. Give it to me.”
Secretary James handed the bag over. When Megan reached out her hand, Paul snatched in halfway
and carried it on his shoulder. “Have a good rest. I’ll help you with it.”
“I can…”
He held the bottom of the thermos and lifted it up slightly. “Hurry up and drink! Don’t talk too much.”
She held the thermos cup and kept taking small sips. The slightly sweet and spicy taste slid down her
throat, warming her stomach and making her feel much more comfortable.
Leo’s phone rang.
It was Sasha.
He walked back and picked it up.
Sasha’s voice was trembling.” Leo, my face…”
It was surprisingly quiet in the car, and the delicate voice on the phone could be heard clearly.
Leo glared at Paul, who was not afraid at all, and looked back provocatively.
With a gloomy face, he asked, “What’s wrong with your face?”
She burst into tears and said, “I left my skincare products on the bus. It felt so dry now.”
