Chapter 189
The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me
One noon, Joey was taking a nap and was suddenly waken up by laughers from downstairs. Mrs. Charles laughed the loudest.
Joey had serious morning sickness these days. When she woke up, she couldnât fall asleep again. She got up slowly and opened the door.
Her maids Seventeen and Eighteen were unfailingly guarding the door.
Joey asked them, âAny visitors today?â
She wondered who could make Mrs. Charles laugh so hard.
Eighteen, who was more gossipy, answered immediately, âItâs Miss Yolanda. She brought many gifts.â
âMiss Yolanda?â
Joey whispered. Wasnât she Martinâs elder sister? She was instantly intrigued, âIâll go and have a look.â
âDonât!â
Seventeen and Eighteen quickly stepped in front of her almost simultaneously.
âWhy?â
Joey was surprised by their overreaction. But she soon realized what was wrong and laughed, âOh my, I forgot how rude it would be to meet a guest in pajamas. All right, Iâll change my clothes.â
She turned around and closed the door.
Seventeen and Eighteen looked at each other and didnât know what to do.
Seventeen said, âIt seems that our young master hasnât told her about who Miss Yolanda is. Iâm afraid Miss Joey will be bullied by Miss Yolanda if they meet each other.â
Eighteen frowned, âIt was all my fault. I shouldnât have blurted it out. But to be honest, Miss Yolanda broke up with our young master long ago. She is in no position to pick on Miss Joey.â
Joey had always been kind and gentle to others. She had treated Seventeen and Eighteen equally, though they were her maids. Thus they had grown very fond of Joey in return. They certainly took Joeyâs side between her and Yolanda.
âGirls, I donât think itâs a good idea to talk about others behind their backs.â
When the maids were secretly worried about Joey, there suddenly came a female voice from behind. It was polite yet disturbingly cold.
Seventeen and Eighteen turned around and found Yolanda standing behind them. She crossed her arms and stared at them with a faint and compelling smile on her face. The maids were so intimidated that they couldnât breathe.
âMiss Yolanda!â
They immediately lowered their heads and went silent.
Yolanda looked at them coldly and stepped forward to knock on Joeyâs door.
âWho is there?â
Joey had just taken her pajamas off. She quickly put them back on when she heard the knock.
âItâs Yolanda.â
Yolanda answered proudly at the door.
She had planned to see Allen for the past few days, but he had been avoiding her in every possible way. She had to pay him a visit at his home today.
Joey froze for a second and opened the door.
It was the first time Joey had met Yolanda. She had to admit that Yolanda was even more beautiful than she thought.
Yolandaâs beauty was dazzling and unforgettable.
She was a very fashionable and well-dressed young woman with long curls, an elegant purple shirt, a white expansion skirt and a pair of pretty Burgundy high heels. She looked very tall and fetching.
She was a few inches taller than Joey in high heels. But they were actually of similar height, because Joey was in slippers now.
Joey was very impressed by her eye-catching beauty.
Yolanda was surprised by Joeyâs subtle beauty too. Joey wore no makeup, and looked simple yet elegant. She was very amiable and likeable.

Yolanda went straight into Joeyâs room without being invited to do so. She closed the door.
Joey was startled by Yolandaâs unfriendliness. She would be a fool not to detect it.
âMiss Yolanda, what can I do for you?â
Joey was confused. She had no idea how she had offended Yolanda.
