Megan was also confused. She quickly pulled on Paul’s sleeve, trying to stop him from talking
nonsense, but she didn’t expect that he would hold her in his arms instead. He said affectionately, “It
seems that my girlfriend was ignorant before and offended you. I’ll drink three glasses of wine as an
apology on her behalf. Mr. Mayor, please be magnanimous and don’t argue with her, okay?”
Leo’s gaze passed him and fell on Megan’s face with a mocking smile.
Megan understood what he meant. He was clearly saying, “You’re not seducing him?”
She smiled bitterly. She didn’t know what was wrong with Paul.
Leo’s voice fell from above her head, “Since you want to apologize, you have to ask the person
involved to drink it. There’s no reason for someone to replace her.”
“It’s natural to apologize on behalf of my girlfriend.”
“Mr. Travis, have you really decided to stand up for her?”
Megan didn’t want to implicate Paul. She quickly broke free from his arms and took the initiative to
raise her glass to Leo, “Mr. Mayor, it’s all my fault. Our business has nothing to do with Mr. Travis.
Please don’t vent your anger on anyone else. Here’s to you.”
“You caught a cold. I’ll drink it for you,” Paul said with a frown as he snatched the glass from Megan’s
hand.
“No need…”
“The cold medicine contains cephapirin. You can’t drink. Do you want to die?” Paul threatened her. He
raised his head and drank up the wine in his glass.
Leo understood what he meant and frowned slightly, “Can’t you drink after taking the cold medicine?”
Paul chuckled and said, “Yes, Mr. Mayor. Don’t you know that alcohol and cephapirin will react in the
body? In serious cases, it may kill you.”
He looked at Megan and asked, “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
-She sneered, “I told you. Will you believe me?”
“You won’t believe me. You’ll only think that I’m immature.”
Megan didn’t know how she got out of the room.
By the time she came to her senses, she was already in the passenger seat, with Paul beside her.

He glanced at her from the rear view mirror, “What happened between you and Mr. Mayor? You jumped
so high on the bungee jumping platform, but you were so scared when you saw him.”
She turned to look out of the window, rolled down the window, and let the cold wind blow on her
face, “I used to be his secretary.”
Paul was not too surprised. He nodded and asked, “How many years have you been working for
him?”
“Three years.”
“No wonder my dad values you so much. Being able to stay by his side for three years, you’re definitely
not an ordinary person.”
She smiled bitterly, “I’ll take it as a compliment?”
“Of course it’s a compliment. There are only three people in the country who have succeeded in that
bungee jumping. One is a world-class bungee jumping master, the other is me, and you are the
third one, and you are a woman.”
“I’m just desperate for money.”
“Also, you really know a lot of languages. When I take you out in the future, I don’t even need to
hire an interpreter. Moreover, you work efficiently. I thought it would be difficult to negotiate
—today’s case, but I didn’t expect that things would become so simple with you around.”
Megan felt a little relieved. Judging from what he said, he should have approved of her.
With an annual salary of 300000 dollars, her mother’s medical treatment would be settled, and she
could finally rest assured.
She turned around and asked, “Why did you say that just now?”
“Say what?”
“Say that…that I am your girlfriend.”
These words made her feel a little embarrassed. She coughed softly and continued, “You want to help
me. I understand. It’s just a temporary measure.”
Paul suddenly laughed, “What if I mean it?”
Megan’s smile froze, “Mr. Travis, this joke is not funny.”
“I’m not joking.”
“Why?”
“Because you look like my ex-girlfriend. I couldn’t forget her and couldn’t extricate myself from

her. As a result, she turned around and went to my dad’s bed.”
The secrets of a wealthy family?
Megan was slightly stunned and did not say anything.
“What’s wrong? Do you think it’s unbelievable?”
After thinking for a while, she said, “After all, it’s your private affair. As an outsider, it’s better if I
don’t know.”
“You’re not an outsider. You’re my secretary now…” He paused, “And you’re my girlfriend.”
Megan smiled and said, “Mr. Travis, don’t make fun of me. Today is our first meeting.”
“The first time I met her, she took the initiative to confess her love to me.”
Megan nodded. The “she” that Mr. Travis was talking about should be his ex-girlfriend.
“She was very smart, but she was also very cruel. After knowing that I didn’t have the share of the
Travis Group, she went straight to my father’s arms. In the end, my parents divorced, and my mother
died of depression.”
Megan’s heart skipped a beat.
Just now, Mr. Travis had said that she was very similar to this ex-girlfriend who had ruined his family…
Then he still agreed to let her be his secretary?
Was… was he going to take revenge?
Was it because of this face again?!
