Chapter 1264 The Mayor's Inspection

Greg, Faye, and Lilian only fell asleep late into the night.

In between, they talked about ways to ruin Kaze and Darcy.

Concerned about the donors' list, Faye arrived early at the office and instructed the staff to remove Lilyrose Commerce Guild from the list.

Greg and Lilian were still in bed at that point.

"Save me the small talk. Change into your uniform and form a line.

"I received notice from the mayor's office that the mayor will be coming for an inspection."

Greg pulled Faye away and waved his arm.

Although they were intimate the night before, Faye did not mean anything to him.

His career took precedence over any woman.

Faye pouted. She knew Greg too well to express any displeasure.

"Don't just stand there. Didn't you hear Mr. Nanas? Get out there and line up for the VIP."

Faye turned around and yelled at the other staff.

Minutes later, dozens of people formed a line outside the building.

Greg stood in the middle while Faye stayed by his side. They were sweating due to the long wait.

"You're the executive of the Red Foundation's South River State branch, Greg. You rub shoulders with the state's most powerful figures.

"Why are we making such a big fuss for a measly mayor?" Faye said while raising her arm to wipe her sweat. The employees in the back nodded in agreement.

The Red Foundation was highly influential nationwide. The organization had poured a lot of money into Lilyrose

too.

By right, the mayor should be thanking them personally.

Hence, they did not take the inspection seriously and believed the mayor did not deserve such treatment.

The person was just a mayor, not a governor.

"What do you know?"

Greg glared at Faye. "Didn't you hear Lilian last night? The new mayor isn't even 30 yet."

"What's the big deal? You became an executive in the South River State in your early 30s. He's not better than you."

Faye pouted. Truth be told, she was sucking up to Greg.

She knew that the mayor was no ordinary man to make office before hitting 30.

"You're short-sighted. What do you know?"

Greg gave her another dirty look, but Faye's flattery did work wonders. He said with a smile, "We work in charity. The political figures are in a league of their own.

"It's not easy to make it in the political scene. Do you think just anybody can handle a job running a city? He's not even 30 yet.

"In another ten years, he might become the next governor.

"Besides, Lilian said that the mayor comes from a wealthy family. He's powerful, rich, with political backing. That's a brighter prospect than what Leigh or Conan has.

"There is a hierarchy when it comes to wealth.

"The mayor might not be the richest, but he is the crème de le crème."

Greg lectured Faya, his eyes beaming.

That was the reason why he made a spectacle out of welcoming the mayor.

Greg could have a promising future if he secured a friend in the mayor.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

"Quick, freshen up! We need to leave a good impression. Getting his approval is key." Greg patted Faye and lamented, "It's a shame Lillian isn't here."
