The Lord Mayor Falls in Love with Me

Chapter 14 Who was the betrayer?

“Philip, why don’t you come in to have a cup of coffee before you leave?”

Philip smiled and shook his head, “No thanks. Go to bed early.”

Sarah felt angry for being rejected by Philip. She was practically inviting him to spend the night with

her, but he was too dumb to take the hint.

She was Philip’s girlfriend and they should move in together. Due to their long-distance relationship, he

had never come on to her and she had to take the initiative every single time. But she was a girl after

all.

However, she grew tired of making the first move all the time and couldn’t help feeling sorry for herself.

Thus when John Walter hit on her, she fell under his love spell in no time.

“Come in and I have something to say to you.”

When Philip was about to turn around to leave, Sarah dragged him into the house and closed the door.

“What?”

There was a flicker of guilt in Philip’s eyes. Did Sarah suspect something when he defended Joey

today?

Sarah pushed him onto the sofa without saying anything. She quickly took off her high heels, straddled

on top of him, and unbuttoned his shirt until he was bare to the waist.

She soon began to undress him.

“Sarah, what are you doing?”

Philip was a little confused by her act.

Was she forcing her way to sleep with him?

She had never been so rough when she tried to seduce him before?

“What am I doing? Doing you, of course.”

She reached out to his waist to loosen his belt.

“Sarah…”

He hurriedly grabbed her hands, “what’s wrong with you today?

“What’s wrong with me? I am asking you, what’s wrong with you?”

Sarah’s eyes were red and teary. She pounded his strong chest, “Aren't I your girlfriend? Why have you

been so indifferent to me? Aren’t I pretty or sexy enough for you? Why have you refused to make love

to me? Are you impotent or am I unimportant to you?”

Philip felt deeply guilty. He didn’t dodge her fists.

“Say something. Please say something…”

She found his silence irritating and blurted out, “You like Joey, don’t you?”

“I…Nonsense! She has a fiancé.”

Philip was rattled by her speculation. He pushed her away and stood up, but he couldn't look at her in

the eye.

Her smile was wry, “It turns out that you really like her. Then why didn’t you pursue her in school? Why

did you come after me instead?”

Annoyed by her questions, he unconsciously got everything off his chest, “Because she was dating

Ben Hawk back then. I had no choice but…”

The minute he told the truth, he was alarmed by his bluntness and bit his tongue as quickly as possible.

But it was too late. Sarah had heard everything she needed to hear. She buttoned her blouse and said

in a cold voice, “So you decided to settle for me because I was her best friend and you thought you

would be able to be near her with me being your girlfriend, am I right?”

“Sarah, I…I am sorry, I am really sorry…”

Philip had to admit it.

He had been using Sarah indeed when he had truly liked Joey and only Joey all these years. It was a Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

pity that Joey had been in love with Ben Hawk and they got engaged soon after graduation. He had no

chance whatsoever.

But Philip liked her and wanted to see her all the time, which was why he had decided to become

Joey’s best friend Sarah’s boyfriend to justify his presence around Joey after giving it much thought.

“In this case, we should break up.”

Sarah took a deep breath and said what she had wanted to say.

He raised his head in disbelief. He was surprised that she was able to break up with him so calmly after

knowing everything. He thought she would make a scene.

Then there was only one explanation, which was that neither of them was strongly attached to the

other.

“…Okay, I agree.” His smile was bitter because he had asked for it.

Sarah was greatly relieved to find that they were on the same page.

She had been cheating on him. Now he was the guilty ex-boyfriend.

Actually, if she had known that Philip loved Joey in the past, she would certainly have been too furious

to forgive him or Joey, but now…all she wanted was John Walter. She was glad that Philip had liked

Joey because it was an excellent excuse for her to break up with him.

At this moment, she was even grateful to Joey and the fat guy who molested Joey in the ladies' room

today.

It was unmistakably betrayal, but who was the betrayer?

“Phil, don’t leave tonight, okay?”

Sarah hugged him from behind and pressed her pretty face against his broad back, “Let’s make tonight

our last night!”
